Plot
Following directly after the events of Bender's Big Score, a giant rift in space and time allows a repulsive, planet-sized alien monster from another universe to come to Earth. The monster takes control of Fry, making him Pope of a new religion that sweeps the planet, eventually causing humanity to leave the planet and robots to inherit the Earth.
Features
The film will feature voice talents from: Brittany Murphy as Colleen, Fry's new polyamorous girlfriend; David Cross as Yivo, the planet-sized tentacled alien; Professor Stephen Hawking reprising himself, but this time as his own head in a jar; and Dan Castellaneta reprising his role as the Robot Devil.[5]
The DVD will also feature footage from the Futurama video game as Futurama: The Lost Episode.
