Rich Moore Talks About the Return of 'Futurama'

August 18, 2007

The characters of Futurama The animated series, Futurama, is slated to return on the small screen early next year, and supervising director Rich Moore is hoping that the upcoming DVD movies will be enough to get more viewers to tune in the show the second time around.

“I think the idea is to capture new fans,” Moore said of their intentions with the Futurama movies, adding that the first one, Futurama: Bender's Big Score, has “lots of action” and “great Bender Zoidberg moments.” He also promised that although the movies will revolve around the old characters, it will still be accessible to viewers who are not so familiar with the show.
