Futurama, etc. better then PJ?

Perhaps not a terribly serious thread:

Having just watched a 4-part Futurama series "Bender's Game",
(i.e., a cautionary Dungeons and Dragons tale)
how might some cartoon variants of LOTR/Thee Hobbit be
better/worse/more enjoyable then PJ's?
Futurama seemed more a take-off on the films then the book,
with an amusing repositioning of the improbable movie stairs
of Moria to the end. And was Fry's Slinker/Stinker better then
the movie? (Spolier: the Ring/dice isn't destroyed, Mom/Sauron
gets the precious). Certainly Professor Farnsworth made an interesting
Gandalf. And was Bender supposed to be Aragorn...and Leela is
certainly an...ah, assertive, Eowyn.



But, really, given PJ's liberties with LOTR, especially TTT and RoTK,
isn't watching such take-offs in some ways more enjoyable, or less
aggravating, then parts of PJ's films?

Now, about Southpark..... Well, you did see how the fear of
water deterred the bad persons.
