Thursday night , Fox bewilder a redcarpet hootenanny at the Arc Light in L.A. for its first direct - to - videodisc characteristic spill of Futurama . “ Bender ’s Big Score , ” which comes out November 27 , marks the sporadically laughable franchise ’s return to grandeur . The occasion was celebrate , of course , by making vocalism - over creative person stupefy for paparazzo shots and trotting out a guy in a Bender causa . Klaatu barada nikto ! Gallery and spoilers after the leap .
Boy , does that Futurama bunch ever think Fox is a band of imbeciles ! The first ten proceedings of the motion-picture show is an attack on the connection wooing , with retribution for premature axing of a show that never had in effect ratings to commence with meted out in classical , knee joint - jerked meat gag - writer mode : The execs are ground into a all right pinkish powder that has a multitude of uses , from weaponization to soothing jock itchiness .
The patch exerts , overexerts , and then overexert some more . It ’s a sentence - travel conceit , with the Bender the alcoholic automaton sent back and off across the continuum by au naturel aliens to steal Earth ’s most moneymaking gem ( the Mona Lisa , the Guttenberg Bible , heaps of wanted metals ) . The heading nude space alien talks like Paul Lynde . Fortunately , the animation is awesome , culminating in a legitimately electrifying space battle in which the Futurama rove succeed back the satellite by decimating the au naturel aliens ’ fleet of solid - Au - and - jewel - encrust Death Stars .
The best part of the whole eventide was when the projector go haywire and the player , head by voice - of - Bender John DiMaggio and Groening himself , were forced to do some improv grouping standup . Afterwards , our correspondent fled before they turn on the booze spigot for reverence that Katey “ Voice of Leela ” Sagal would have one too many Heinekens and require to start feeding him miniature deep brown merlot cupcakes .
Not amazingly , almost everyone involved with Futurama think citizens of the future will study the show . “ This show get more correct than previous portrayal of the futurity , ” said Phil “ Voice of Hermes the Jamaican Bureaucrat ” LaMarr . “ They ’re gon na say ‘ Those guy were pretty close , ' ” said Maurice “ Voice of Morbo ” LaMarche .
Head writer David X. Cohen was a tad overawed by the bright lights . “ This is paying back in mode ! ” he said of the dismissal , which is the first of four full - length Futurama videodisc to be produced . He also tossed props of a haughty sort to the Internet faithful : “ It ’s a slap-up representative of the videodisc years and rabid fandom coming together . ”
Rabid indeed .
Groening roll up recently to the carpeting in a stretch limo and , not notice that he had missed a button on the tent flap of his denim , say that if he could go back in metre like Bender , it would be the Disneyland of the Eisenhower Era , when creative geniuses of Brobdingnagian net Charles Frederick Worth such as himself could get in and not have to wait in line for 17 hours to suss out out the new Nemo drive .
