Rough Draft Studios animated Futuristic-All. The studio would receive the completed script of an episode and create a storyboard consisting of more than 100 drawings. It would then produce a pencil-drawn animatic with 1,000 frames. Rough Draft's sister studio in South Korea would render the 30,000-frame finished episode.[1]

In addition to traditional cartoon drawing, Rough Draft Studios often used CGI for fast or complex shots, such as the movement of spaceships, explosions, nebulae, large crowds, and snow scenes. The opening sequence was entirely rendered in CGI. The CGI was rendered at 24 frames per second (as opposed to hand-drawn often done at 12 frames per second) and the lack of artifacts made the animation appear very smooth and fluid. CGI characters looked slightly different due to spatially "cheating" hand-drawn characters by drawing slightly out of proportion or off-perspective features to emphasize traits of the face or body, improving legibility of an expression. PowerAnimator was used to draw the comic-like CGI.[2]

For the final episode of season 6, Futurama was completely reanimated in six different styles: the first two segments of the episode features black-and-white Fleischer- and Walter Lantz-style animation and Minecraft-style animation, the second two segments was drawn in the style of a low-resolution video game and was stop motion style that made at Cinema Fantasma, and the final 2 segments was in the style of Japanese anime and the style of same animation from TAWoG episode "The Cringe", Studio AKA. The extended intro was also reaniamted in stop motion which also aniamted by Max Winston, Mark Caballero, Musa Brooker, Alex Kamer, Savelen Forrest and Tennesse Reid Norton, which made in another stop motion company, Screen Novelties.[3]

Main Characters[]

Like The Simpsons and Futurama, many episodes of Futuristic-All feature guest voices from a wide range of professions, including actors, entertainers, bands, musicians, and scientists. Many guest-stars voiced supporting characters, although many voiced themselves, usually as their own head preserved in a jar. Recurring guest stars included Donald Trump (the voice of his head), Dan Castellaneta (as the Robot Devil), Bill Fagerbakke (as Pumbaa's father) and among others.

Opening sequence[]

Much like the opening sequence in The Simpsons with its chalkboard, sax solo, and couch gags, Futuristic-All has a distinctive opening sequence featuring minor gags. As the show begins, blue lights fill the screen and the Space Heroes Express Ship flies across the screen with the title of the show being spelled out in its wake. Underneath the title is a joke caption such as "Painstakingly drawn before a live audience" or "When you see the robot: DRINK!"[4] After flying through downtown New New York and past various recurring characters and the recurring old characetrs form the other shows that are currently running and ended, the Space Heroes Express ship crashes into a large screen showing a short clip from a classic cartoon. These have included clips from The Amazing World of Gumball episodes, Quasi at the Quackadero, Looney Tunes shorts, cartoons produced by Max Fleischer, SpongeBob SquarePants episodes, a short of The Simpsons from a Tracey Ullman episode,[5] the show's own opening sequence in "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" and "The Self-Indulgent 100th Episode Spectacular Part 4", the opening sequences (Teen Titans Go!, Unikitty! and The Amazing World of Gumball) in the first 3 parts of "The Self-ndulgent 100th Episode Spectacular" or a scene from the episode.

The Futurama theme was created by Christopher Tyng.
