I have always been a really big fan of the series so this was a real enjoyable movie for me. I think though even if u don't watch the show or haven't seen it this movie will still be funny. The content is iffy but it's only references, and most kids won't get it in the first place. So all in all great movie for 12 and up.

What Parents Need to Know
About Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs
Parents need to know that this animated straight-to-DVD movie (the second of four Futurama films) has the same level of sassiness as the Fox TV series. There's bad behavior galore, lots of cheekiness and discourtesy -- oh yes, and tons of intergalactic warfare, planetary peril, diabolical scheming, threats of human obliteration, pummeling, name calling, and the like. A god-like alien who seems at first fiendish, attaches its tentacles to the bodies of humans in what is later explained to be copulation. At one point most earthlings are mind-controlled into cult-like compliance. It's however mostly harmless silliness and so "out there" as to have minimal real-life relevance.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what the future might look like in 100 years. What transportation will we have? What will science be capable of? Would you want to be frozen (as Fry was in the original Futurama back-story)?

A funny movie for 12+
The series was always funny, and the movies follow after. This movie was not as bad as the last movie, but still contains some innapropriate material I say it really depends on how mature your kid is, not how old he is.
