'Futurama' Returns

Futurama Returns is a curious creature and doesn't really fall under any category.

Standing at around 9 minutes it's basically just a cast reading of a brief comic book created to celebrate the "Kind of" return of Futurama back in 2007 after they were cancelled by FOX.

They returned in the form of 4 feature length movies, none of which I found overwhelmingly good. So this motion comic is voiced by the original cast and the plot is a fourth wall breaking attempt at humor that satirizes the events that led to the cancellation and return.

It's not as clever as I think the creators thought it would be and though it's sweet seeing fan power bringing the show back from the dead I was never a fan.

The Good:

Interesting approach

The Bad:

Not exactly funny

Things I Learnt From This Short:

"Fan power" never brings back cancelled shows I like!
