So it turns out that Futurama is not only a great show, but a strange gathering of all sorts of talented people. First of all, one of the writers/producers was Bill Odenkirk, brother of Bob Odenkirk, half of the genius behind Mr Show. So there's the connection to David Cross and Arrested Development.

Then we have the voice talent. Very interesting. He's also good friends with Rob Paulsen, who you may know as Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or several million other characters. Billy West is no slouch, either.

The point is, who knew that digging around on the IMDB would uncover news of an upcoming straight-to-DVD Futurama movie? Possibly even more than one.

All this makes my plans for Halloween even more hilarious ... and apt. (Don't give away my costume idea if you know it. Oh ... crap. I mean, apt.)
