Spaceballs: The Animated Series (Johnsonverse)

Spaceballs: The Animated Series, also known as Spaceballs: The Series, is an adult computer animated television series that premiered in 2009 on Adult Swim, and is loosely based on the parody science fiction film Spaceballs. Similarly to how the original film parodied the original Star Wars films and the Star Trek universe, each episode of the series parodies the sci-fi genre. Much of the original cast reprises their roles for the series.

Production
Production began in early 2005 under the supervision of Brooksfilms, MGM and Berliner Film Company. Mel Brooks not only directed the writing, but also voiced two characters, President Skroob and Yogurt, both of whom he played in the film. Daphne Zuniga and Joan Rivers (until her 2014 death) also reprise their roles from the film, as do Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis. Tino Insana replaces John Candy, who died in 1994, as "Barf," and Rudy De Luca also supplied his voice talents. After Rivers' death in 2014, she was replaced by her daughter Melissa as Dot Matrix, and after Insana's 2017 death, Will Sasso took over as the voice of Barf.
