Bender's Big Score

Bender's Big Score is the first of the four Direct-to-DVD films, and was released on November 27, 2007 in the USA and March 5, 2008 in Australia, and is due out April 7, 2008 in Europe. Years have passed since The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings, both in the show and in reality, the opening reflects this, but also reflects the cancellation of the show.

Each of the films will be chopped up into four episodes each, possibly with additional material, for the Comedy Central season due to air in 2008.

A preview of the film was shown at Comic-Con 2007. 

The film is released in wide screen format and soon be available in Hi-Def DVD.
