Maybe it's had too many cookies? You might need to delete your cookies. Ro-ro-rotate your owl robotHas Bender done anything like that before this moment? How does robot movement work? We need more robot body gags! Like this:  (ugh, couldn't find a gif, have a screenie instead) That was a friggin brilliant moment how all (except his legs) stayed dead still while everything moved all around him

Ro-ro-rotate your owl robot Ahh, Mom's magical bending unit. It looks like he has a rotating track attached to his shoulder cone or neck and another one on his crotch plate.
This one was begging to be made:  A couple of tidbits from the commentary: o They built the ship interior in 3D just for this shot. o Bender's body was a separate (2D)layer referred to as a "held cell". As TLF mentions, upper Bender is totally frozen. o Fry, Leela and the Professor are 2D(hand drawn) o Bender's legs(and feet) are 3D(computer model) Notice how well-synced the 2D bodies are with their 3D modeled chairs despite the fact they're all over the screen with a constantly changing camera angle. It looks like Leela is holding on to a hand-drawn control yoke. That would've been tough to sync up had it been 3D.
The funeral scene from The Sting is full of lots of nice little touches, but this has to be my favourite part:
 "This makes me the oldest member of my family..."
I'm also a fan of Bender's veil. 
EDIT: Dangit, BOTP. 
"Oh, who will make Bender waffles just the way he likes them now?"

Just to clarify, "little" refers to the subtle details of the show not the physical size of the characters. ...not that I mind discussing Tinny Tim, Pocket Pal, Nibbler, Cubert, Kif's parents or even Zapp's little teeny-weeny-greeny for that matter  Also, joke trumps any sense of logic in an animated comedy. Therefore: Big Tinny Tim = not as funny Tiny Tinny Tim = much funnier (unless he's actually big and the "tiny" is meant to be ironic) (Hey, I think I just created a new character: Tonight at Madison Cube Garden - Tiny Tinny Tim vs Destructor!)

I'll tell you what I just noticed: Your frame doesn't exist!  Where the hulk did you find that? Here's the best I could do:  The funniest part is that the PlanEx ladies are dressed exactly the same at this fancy do.  BTW, I love what's above the museum's entrance doors: "FOUNDED 8:15 AM"

Nuance! That's what I'm talkin bout!(and sometimes the tentacle). Nice find Sparkybarky:  You know it's well animated when you can feel a character's weight. While I was at it, decided to make one of a moment that Matt Groening pointed out in the commentary(Roswell That Ends Well). It kinda needs the salt shaker foley but works nonetheless:  From a moment of resignation to a moment of hope. Also, for those who may not know, her reflection is entirely drawn separately as if there was a second character to animate(there's no magic "reflection" button in 2D animation  ) Also, just noticed something I never saw before. Her pink neck thingy is one of those see-through fashion dealies. I have one just like it in blue.
