Production
Ken Keeler wrote the episode "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", the final episode of Futurama's original run. As Into the Wild Green Yonder was perceived as possibly the last ever film/episode the writers got to do with Futurama, they also wanted to make this a memorable one, and thus Ken Keeler was chosen as its main writer.

Originally, the Mars Vegas segment wasn't supposed to last as long as it did (that equal of an episode length), but since they liked the setting so much, the writers extended the setting for one fourth of the film, where some of the plot, which originally intended to develop on Earth, simply occurred on Mars. The subplot with Bender and Fanny was also extended because of this change. Ken Keeler had originally written a lot more lines between Bender and Donbot, in the awkward shots between him, Donbot and Fanny.

Into the Wild Green Yonder was supposed to be the "classic -fiction story" of the four films, with Bender's Big Score being the "time-travel epic", The Beast with a Billion Backs being the " film" and Bender's Game being the " film". As a classic science-fiction story, Into the Wild Green Yonder focuses on an ancient war between two equally ancient species, which subsequently gains new weight as our own main characters enter the ordeal.

This film was subject to censorship by itself.
