Comments:
- What is peculiar with the surface of the moon in the full angle
view as the ship approaches it? I can't quite put my finger
on it, perhaps something hidden in the formations.
- I wonder who has to drink that moon bug milk?
- Did anyone else think Fry and Leela were going to try to kiss when
she said "Its beautiful. I don't know why I never noticed before".
- When I watched it I felt sad again for the loss
of Phil Hartman-- He should have been the one to do the voice
overs for the Planet Express commercial and the
Destination Moon ride documenary DAMMIT! DAMMIT! What's
this coming out of my eye?

Monsanto is a big Disney sponsor, and the Goophy Gopher Revue parodied
Disney's Country Bear Jamboree and, I believe, the "It's a Small World"
ride.

After the bottle ends up in Craterface's... uh... face, he looks
exactly like the man in the moon from Georges Melies famous film "Le
Voyage Dans de Lune" (1902). In the film, the explorers' space capsule
hits the moon right by the eye.

He is in my house too! I didn't notice his name in the ep though, I guess
I'm going to have to go back and watch it again to figure it out.

Also:
Whalers on the moon -- Pirates of the carribean
Can't remember the name, but the last ride Leela and Fry went on would
be
a better example of the 'it's a small world ride'... the definitive
touch
being Leela singing the song ;)
ever so sincerely,
