Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Animation Magazine Cover Story

The animation industry targeted print & web publication Animation Magazine dedicated their currently selling December/January cover story to Futurama. Asking "Kiss this shiny metal ass goodbye?!" and "Is Futurama History?", the article both lauds and comforts this year's fifth installment of Futurama on FOX. Quoting executive producer and co-creator David X. Cohen
"We're all taking jobs elsewhere. [...] We were just ahead of the big wave of primetime animated shows and now we might be the ebbing tide."
the magazine also includes a full page advertising bought out by law firm KMZRosenman to congratulate Futurama.

The ultimate answers to the questions posed will probably not arrive for another few months, but getting Futurama into the news and heads of people surely can only help.

Thanks to AM editor and author Ramin Zahed for providing me with a reference copy of this issue.

Sorry, there isn't and I can't transcribe it without risking not to get any more support by AM ;) The issue is still available at well sorted paper stands though.

Any chance that the article could be published online once the issue is no longer on sale? I asked around this afternoon and no newsagents in my area (Scotland) can get hold of this magazine.

I'm glad that a lot of people are still putting Futurama in the headlines, at least with this publicity it'll make those Fox execs think about ordering another season, I just hope if they do they can get the Futurama team back together.
