More From Matt Groening

We have 'doctor who' references on 'futurama,' but we have a lot of science fiction references that i don't get; but in the staff we have experts on 'star trek,' 'star wars,' 'doctor who' and 'dungeons and dragons.'

'the simpsons' from the very beginning was based on our memories of brash '60s sitcoms - you had a main title theme that was bombastic and grabbed your attention - and when you look at tv shows of the 1970s and '80s, things got very mild and toned down and... obsequious.

The thing about a cartoon is, you can do whatever you want. the tightrope that we are walking on 'the simpsons' and 'futurama' is "how do you continue to surprise the audience, but make them good surprises?" not every surprise is good, but you want to continue jolting people.

I do think that animated films have the ability to touch you someplace. there is something about live action movies that is different because we know the characters are real people, so they always stay flawed for us somehow. but animated films touch us in a very clear, uncomplicated place. they have that ability. and an animated character can make an expression in a way humans can't do.
Real Character Thinking
The simpsons and futurama are such big projects, going on for years and working in different media, that everything involved with them, promotion and merchandise and online presence and all the rest, deserve to be scrutinized, so that's part of it. i have a great deal of sympathy for anyone at the core of a multimedia juggernaut, even if you might not care for the specific pop-culture invasion of your brain. the people who do it work really hard.

I do really like doing animated movies. i like watching animated movies, and i always have. that's something i didn't let go of, from when i was a kid. it's always exciting for me to get to do that. animated movies are so rarely bad.

Conservatism is sometimes a symptom of sterility. those who have nothing in them that can grow and develop must cling to what they have in beliefs, ideas and possessions. the sterile radical, too, is basically conservative. he is afraid to let go of the ideas and beliefs he picked up in his youth lest his life be seen as empty and wasted.
