A plethora of character customization options are available to players in the Animal Crossing franchise, and the most recent update to Animal Crossing: New Horizons has added even more options to the already extensive list of available options. One Animal Crossing: New Horizons player attempted to recreate a screenshot from the infamous animated sci-fi sitcom Futurama by using their Villager and two friends from the first episode of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The screenshot was taken from the first episode of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

1.  Fry is the main character of the animated television series Futurama, which follows his adventures as a professional slacker who is cryogenically frozen and awakens 1000 years in the future where he continues to work

2.  Along with Bender the erratically behaving robot, as well as Leela the conceited mutant, Bender will also be taking part in a workplace comedy set between the stars, which will be a highlight of the show

3.  Many people consider it to be one of the all-time greatest television cartoons ever produced, and it is widely considered to be so

Redditor GD056 set out to recreate the Futurama universe from the ground up to get cheap ACNH NMT, starting with a screenshot of the characters Fry, Bender, and Leela all standing together in a row, each with a different aspect of their distinct personalities on display. Meanwhile, Bender is shown yelling and raising his arms in the air in one scene, while Fry and Leela stand off to the side, making eye contact and appearing to be amused by Bender's loud antics in another. In addition to Leela, Reneigh also portrays the character of Bender, with Cephalobot taking on the role of Bender. By using similar poses and dressing the laughing player character in a red jacket that is reminiscent of Fry's outfit, GD056 has created a recreation of Fry's outfit.

Reneigh first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a sisterly horse villager, but she has since evolved into a more independent horse villager in Animal Crossing: Wild World. Despite the fact that she possesses many of the same characteristics as Leela, she has a more mature personality and will provide the player with advice on fighting and relaxation techniques. To add insult to injury, because of the way GD056's eyes are placed on her head, the screenshot only shows one of them, giving the impression that she has one cyclopean eye, much like Leela does. Cephalobot, on the other hand, is a self-centered villager who appears in the form of an octopus-shaped robotic arm, as opposed to the other characters. To the contrary of Reneigh, he is a more recent addition to the game, having been introduced as part of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 update, which was released towards the end of 2015.

The attempt by player GD056 to recreate Futurama in Animal Crossing: New Horizons appears to have received positive response from other fans at the time this article was written in June 2013. However, even though this isn't the first time an Animal Crossing fan has created an in-game tribute to another franchise, this one is particularly well done, as it captures a sense of the characters' world in a unique and unexpected way. Many users immediately began posting quotes from the Futurama television show, including some of its most well-known dialogue segments, as soon as they finished reading the article. The desire for Cephalobot, as well as their plans to entice him to visit their respective islands, sparked debate among the users who were participating in the discussion. It has actually been stated by one user that GD056's avatar reminds them of Star-Lord rather than Fry, which is a compliment.
