Fresh off ripping space-time a new one at the end of "Bender's Big Score," the Planet Express crew is back to mend the tear in reality, or (hopefully) at least not make it worse.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A comedic sci-fi romp that treats an existential threat with irreverent humor and surreal tentacle-based romance, balancing apocalyptic stakes with goofy warmth. It's absurdist cartoon mayhem that somehow makes the ridiculous feel weirdly endearing.
