Little Girl

A one-off background figure in the sprawling crowd of Futurama's 31st-century New New York, this little girl appears as a small piece of the show's dense, joke-packed world rather than a character with her own arc. She exists to populate a scene, react to the chaos around her, or land a quick line.

Futurama's genius is often in its margins, and Tress MacNeille is one of the utility players who make that possible, dropping in a single voice among dozens she gives the show. The pleasure here isn't a character study but the texture: a fleeting, fully-formed bit of city life that vanishes as fast as it appears.
