The animators at Rough Draft Studios, which count The Simpsons Movie, cult Nickelodeon show Ren and Stimpy and Beavis and Butt-head among their credits, have been hand-crafting the retro-futuristic aesthetic of Futurama since the show first aired on Fox in 1999.

To deliver the dilapidated, '50s-era sci-fi aesthetic of New New York (the Big Apple circa 3000), the movie incorporates a seamless blend of hand-drawn animation and computer-generated 3-D, seen in everything from shots of the ramshackle spaceship to fiery explosions and sparkling bits of intergalactic dust.īender's Game, the third installment in a series of four direct-to-DVD Futurama movies, also delivers the sort of clever one-liners and geeky references that made the Emmy Award-winning television show an enduring fan favorite. The convoluted story also gives the movie's animators plenty to play with, as the booze-swilling bot's warped imagination propels the characters into an alternate, medieval universe (pictured). The dimension-hopping plot of Futurama: Bender's Game, released Tuesday on DVD, packs plenty of Lord of the Rings gags as the Planet Express crew faces a galactic fuel shortage. After one too many games of Dungeons and Dragons, surly robot Bender goes on a fantasy-fueled bender in the latest Futurama movie.
