I wrote this in UnPEEL, but it's obviously not here. So, I'll write it again. My initial review was "Great", and I still think it's way better than anything currently being shown on TV. But, after repeated viewings, BBS is not growing on me like classic Futurama episodes have. Maybe it's the longer format, maybe it's the voice characterizations (which I thought were off a little), maybe it's a flatter script, maybe it's the more convuluted plot, but it's just not doing it for me like the 1/2 hour episodes did. I hope BWABB gets back in the groove, and reminds me more of the TV episodes.

Watched BBS about 5 or 6 times after it was released and thought it kinda was off a bit. Didn't watch it for about a month then watched it over the last 2 nights. Seemed a lot more like Good 'Ol Futurama omly drawn better and not the rapid-fire pacing, or 22 minute compartmenting of the 1st-run episodes.
Strangely some of the dreary, sad stuff started to seem a bit absurdly funny.

I think the second song was definitly better.

My only major beef with both the songs and Christopher Tyng's underscore is that apparently The "Box network" didn't want to pony up the cash to hire an ax-tutal orchestra, so we had to settle for cheap synthesizers. Kind of like how the Paul Dini/Bruce Timm Batman and Superman cartoons had lush orchestral scores that went to tinny synths for Justice League.

The greatest thing from any Futurama song. Period.
Fry: "Stop! Take my hands! You evil, metal dork!!"

Destiny, has cheated me, by forcing me, to decide upon...
The woman that, I idolize, or the hands of an, automiton.
Without these hands, I can't complete, the opera that was, captivating her...
But if I keep them, and she marries him, he probably won't, want me dating her.

Then again considering how little money seems to have gone into the movie's music it wasn't terrible. I guess we were just spoiled by the episodes' full orchestra. Still nothing wrong with demanding perfection.

That's actually what it says in the episode's close-captioning.

Yeah it kinda went in a cycle. First everybody was afraid of it (bubble picture), then everybody loved it, then everybody hated it (Ralph Snart) and now everybody seems to have gone into their serperate corners. I loved it, for the record.

Did anyone else find the animation significantly worse than the previous episodes

Originally posted by frowntown: Did anyone else find the animation significantly worse than the previous episodes Yes, finally someone agrees with me. All I keep hearing is how great the animation is, and I'm sitting there thinking did you watch the same movie as me? So much off-model character animation. The space battle didn't thrill me either. The best animation of the movie was probably in the alleyway when it was snowing and Robot Santa first showed up. Other than that it was poorly animated and poorly directed in my opinion...

I'd agree that I'm glad it's back, but if you see the Nixon in the film looks completely different to the original. I thought that the film wasn't that good in general (particulary the songs),but I did enjoy a few good one liners:
Barbados Slim: You haven't seen the last of Barbados Slim-now I must leave forever.
Hermes: Bureaucrat grade 34, Hermes Conrad. Is who I am.
I'm glad it's back as it means there is potential for the future films be be just as good as the Tv series.
