“Milton” was a series of animated shorts created by Mike Judge, of “Beavis and Butt-head” and “King of the Hill” fame. The cartoon shorts aired on Saturday Night Live in the mid 1990’s.

The 1999 film “Office Space” was loosely based upon the Milton cartoons, and featured actor Stephen Root in the role of Milton Waddams. Although Milton was the title character from the SNL shorts, the role was minor supporting character in the “Office Space” movie, as was the “Milton” shorts’ other main character, Bill Lumbergh (played by actor Gary Cole in Office Space).

While it is interesting to see Mike’s creations go from animation to live action, I think it would be awesome to see what could be done with “Idiocracy” in animation.
