When you have a hit animated series, the next significant milestone to reach is usually a movie. Take Fox and “The Simpsons” that made the “The Simpsons Movie” in 2007. While that movie did not change much for the show, it was back to business after that, nor did it change the TV to movie landscape much; it did enough business to justify its existence. Now “Bob’s Burgers,” the animated television sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for Fox Broadcasting, is also graduating to the big screen with the “The Bob’s Burgers Movie,” and it will try and prove whether the series’ TV success can translate to the big screen.
