superb............................
this dvd is superb. It is a movie version of the Futurama series. Cubert, Dwight and some of their little friends are playing Dungeons & Dragons in the Planet Express conference room. Bender wants to join in and play with the kids, but robots don't come with imaginations installed.
Bender because of this, takes the whole imagination game a little too far, and develops a slight problem - being able to tell fantasy from reality.
He goes slightly crazy and finds himself in a straitjacket, locked away in a padded cell at the Hal Institute for Criminally Insane Robots.
Meanwhile, the price of dark matter (the fuel for all the spaceships), has gone through the roof. Mom the owner of Mom Corp (and the Professors ex) controls the supply of dark matter on Earth, along with her sons: Walt, Larry and Ignar. Mom actually owns the dark matter mine.
Professor Farnsworth years ago, accidentally created an 'opposite' crystal made of 'pure anti-backwards' energy. Which he kept hidden from Mom - when he was working for her.
The Professor discovers that if the dark matter and the energy crystals ever interact, all the dark matter would be rendered utterly useless, and strange things will happen.
This is what happens, and all the Planet Express team are propelled into an alternate reality called Cornwood.
This fantasy epic is a cross between Dungeons & Dragons and Lord of The Rings.
Bender becomes Titanius Anglesmith, a knight in shining armour. Leela becomes a centaur, named Leegola. Hermes also becomes a centaur called Hermaphrodite. Professor Farnsworth is the Great Wizard Greyfarn and Amy is Gynecaladriel, queen of the 'waternymphos' who holds the power of being a bombshell.
The team must embark on a journey to the Geysers of Gygax to destroy the dice of power (which is the opposite crystal) and defeat the evil Momon.
Fry becomes 'Frydo' who becomes obsessed with the 'dodecadelicious' and becomes a bit Gollum-like. This causes mayhem !!!!
Ultimately, though, the final battle comes down to ... dungeons and dragons.
Will the Planet Express team win ?.... watch it to find out. -
