"Greetings friends! Earlier this year we made a nifty little short film called Playdate with Destiny. The response was so gratifying we wanted everyone to see it at home. So here ya go," the producing team said in a hand-written note which also gave a nod to the short's hard-working animators.

Playdate with Destiny was played before screenings of Disney and Pixar's Onward before movie theaters were shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The short film follows Maggie as she goes on a playdate with a fellow baby named Hudson.
