While perusing video ezy last night i was looking a the $9.95 table and picked up a movie called Spaceballs.
Seeing the big Mel Brooks displayed on the cover i could only conclude that this film held great things. As thus i was correct.
Spaceballs [1987] is a parody of many sci-fi classics including star wars, star trek, space Odyssey, transformers with a hint of planet of the apes. There is also reminisces of many other sci-fi and other well known movies either in musical score atmosphere or small occurrences which fans will usually recognise and appreciate.
In 2004 there was talk of a sequel to this hilarious parody which is actually mentioned in the initial movie "God willing, we'll all return for Spaceballs 2 : The Search for More Money". In September of 2006 Mel Brooks announced that the idea would be turned into a TV series
Apparently according to Variety.com

Apparently according to Variety.com
"the idea is to deliver an animated TV series that takes on the latest wave of sci-fi and fantasy icons, including the "Star Wars" prequels and "The Lord of the Rings."
Evidently it is the explosion of science fiction film and television which has allowed talk to become even more a reality within the past year. Yet the film and thus animated series is not simply about satirising the fantasy genre Brooks stated for an interview on EW.com when asked:
What pop-culture phenomena do you think are ripest for mockery these days?
"Well, there's always the oil industry. I mean, we know we could have an electric car. We know that. There's always those interests. And that's handled by Dark Helmet and his crowd — that's what they do. They ran out of air in the first [movie], they just want to steal air. It's really a metaphor for oil and energy."
