Topic pretty much sums it up, there has been alot of speculation lately whether Futurama would start up again like Family Guy did.

Billy West, the guy that does the voices for Fry, Farnsworth, Zoidberg and Zapp Brannigan has just confirmed on his forums that there will be 4 direct to dvd Futurama movies.

woah, thats great news... I knew there was 1 coming next year but 4? I really hope this gets the series rolling again, there's so much more they can do with it.

yeah, heard about this the other day... not sure if it is as good as a full fledged TV series comeback (seems more designed to sell DVDs) but it may well lead to one.

new futurama, it's highly addictive!

nice one, i'll buy all 4 just for the sake of supporting it in hope that it will get the series going again

I dare say they will be just like extra long episodes, similar to the Family Guy one was. This is still great news though!!!

Yeah i agree with you there, probably gonna be like the stewie griffin one.

Thats not a bad thing, I love the untold story of Stewie Griffon :).
I think I nearly cracked my ribs laughing at some things in it like *SPOILER* when brian smacks stewie in the mouth so he can loosen some teeth for the tooth fairy to raise money to go to CA.

Don't get me wrong I loved the Stewie Griffon untold story, to me though it was just like one big special episode.
