They don't seem that short to me. The professor is much shorter and I doubt he's 5'3-5'4.
i mean, without his intenna (sp?) he'd be shorter. like if you count the top of his head...kinda like how people spike their hair to make them seem taller...anyway.

oops just a typo I guess. Meant to put 6'1-6'2
Average height? I thought those were average? Maybe I just know a lot of tall people. How tall do you think the characters are?

True, guess I'll have to look again about Amy. Maybe the time I actually took notice to her was when she was wearing heels or something. *shrugs*

We know from Bender's mugshot in "The Cyber House Rules" that he's slightly above 6'0 with antenna. According to the character sheets included on the season 3 DVD's Fry is 4 heads tall and Leela is 4½ heads tall, so Leela would still be slightly taller than Fry, even without her boots. My take: Bender: 6'1 Fry: 6'0 (he looks like average height) Leela: 6'3 Amy: 5'5 Zoidberg: 5'5-5'6 Zapp: 6'3+ (looks taller than Leela) Kif: 5'5 (about the same as Amy) And that's all I got for now, most are taken from this thread though. Heh, we had that live action actors discussion before. We al agreed it should never be done, but just for the sake of argument (or fun) we still made our lists. Here's my take: Fry: Nicholas Brendon, sounds fine to me. Leela: Kristen Johnston, Angeline Jolie (although I wouldn't object strongly against Jeri Ryan) Bender: Some actor in a robot costume, and then let John Di Maggio do the voice. Amy: Linda Park, Michelle KrusiecFarnsworth: Mel BrooksZoidberg: Some actor in a Zoidy costume, and then let Billy West do the voice. Hermes: Stuff some pillows under Doug E. Doug's shirt and you're set. Zapp Brannigan: William ShatnerCubert: I dunno, perhaps Will Wheaton's little brother. Kif: David Spade. From this thread.Welcome to PEEL, BendingUnit22. Enjoy it here.

Yeah, second. Good actor choices, but it just wouldn't be the same without the voices we know and love. They'd have to be dubbed in after.

leela doesnt seem to be taller than fry at all, when they are face to face, or walking side by side they appear roughly the same height. though i do believe leela is probably an inch or 2 shorter, with the boots on. ive often compaired the two in scenes in terms of height, and its always seemed to me leela is a little bit shorter. her hair might be a little taller, but judging by the eye level, and forehead regions on them both, fry has the upper hand. such as in this image...if it comes out, not really sure what im doing with the coding. anyways... Zoidberg would be played by Rodney Dangerfield

Ah, but you can always find framegrabs that support your viewpoint: Leela defientely taller than Fry. Taller, in barefoot. Anyway, the charactersheets have her half a head taller than Fry, and since they're as canon as can be....

It's on disc 4 "How to draw"- Fry/Leela. And yes, it's their respective head that's used as reference. Fry's head for Fry and vice versa. Another tid-bit from the DVD's: Fry's head is 4 eye-balls (Fry's) tall, while Leela's head is just above 4 eye-balls (Leela's) tall. So, the character-description call for Leela to be ~19 eyeballs tall and Fry to be 16 eyeballs tall. Now, lets fight over who has the heighest eyeball. They seem of equal height to me, even though Leela's is wider.

I think Leela's is definitely taller. It's roughly the same size at the edges, but because of the oval shape it gets taller than Fry's in the middle. On a slightly related note, Leela's brain must be somewhere other than her head, surely? Because she can move her eyeball in the same way as the rest of us, her eyeball must be spherical, which would make it massive, and leave little to no room for her brain. So either it's somewhere else, or Mutants use their brain more efficiently than unmodded humans. And on another slightly related note; has anyone else noticed that Fry is the only Futurama character with "Simpsons" style eyes? Zoidberg has a slightly wider nose bridge, the Professor and Hermes have glasses and Amy has the slightly smaller eyes which represent Asians in Groening's style. In general actually, Futurama's secondary characters have much wider nose bridges than Simpsons ones - probably due to the better animation technique of the show.
