Bender, Fry, and the rest of the Planet Express gang are back for a fourth feature-length adventure that picks up where the original series left off. INTO THE WILD GREEN YONDER is about as epic as it gets, with the fetchingly cyclopean Leela on the lam from the obnoxious law of Zapp Brannigan. Meanwhile, Bender is wrapped up in a love affair with a fembot whos spoken for, leaving Fry with the task of protecting the universe from mysterious dark forces that are older than time itself. So basically, the universe only has a short time left to live. All the more reason not to miss one second of the most exciting adventure yet in the saga of FUTURAMA, the critically acclaimed cult-favorite series from some of the brilliant minds behind THE SIMPSONS. INTO THE WILD GREEN YONDER features the special guest-star voices of Penn Jillette and Snoop Dogg.
“I was born under unusual circumstances.” And so begins “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” adapted from the 1920s story by F.

We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be.
