Fox Napoleon Dynamite – Animated Series Trailer

Is there a Better Offbeat Comedy?

Can you find an offbeat comedy as good as Napoleon Dynamite? I didn’t think so. Unless of course you make the original movie into a TV series.

Then you have Napoleon Dynamite Animated series, equally as successful as the Movie. Well I hope it’s successful, if you can judge how good the series will be from the trailer, then Napoleon will find it’s audience just like the Movie.

Fox will air the Napoleon Dynamite animated Series in 2012 during midseason on Sundays at 8:30.

The Original Cast Is In The Building

Unlike other Movies converted to TV series Napoleon Dynamite will have its full cast of original actors to voice their respective characters. Yes you can look forward to hearing the famous Pedro once again, but this time in animated form.

What the BigWigs Had to Say

Here’s what Fox had to say about the series:

Based on the hit film, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE is an animated series that follows the continuing adventures of America’s most awesome awkward teenager and his quirky family and friends as they struggle to navigate small-town life in rural Idaho. The original cast from the film – Jon Heder, Aaron Ruell, Efren Ramirez, Tina Majorino, Sandy Martin, Jon Gries and Diedrich Bader – will voice their characters in the series, and many new characters will be added along the way.

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE (Heder) is a 16-year-old boy convinced – for no apparent reason – that he is destined for greatness and blessed with unlimited “sweet abilities.” He spends his days practicing ninja moves, drawing ligers, soul dancing and bragging about his “girlfriend in Oklahoma” whom nobody has ever seen. Napoleon’s brother, KIP (Ruell), is an unemployed 32-year-old who lives at home and believes he would be an amazing catch for any girl who would respond to his online come-ons.

The Dynamite brothers live with GRANDMA (Martin), a crusty woman who can often be found four-wheeling with her lady friends at the local sand dunes. Napoleon’s allies include PEDRO (Ramirez), his unflappable best friend who has recently been elected class president; and DEB (Majorino), an incredibly sweet girl who sees the good in Napoleon and dreams of someday being his wife. Napoleon’s UNCLE RICO (Gries) lives out of an orange custom van, where he obsesses over his botched high school football career and dreams up ways to become rich and famous. Then there’s REX KWON DO (Bader), a self-proclaimed martial-arts master who runs the local dojo. Guest voices in the debut season include Jennifer Coolidge (American Pie, Legally Blonde), Sam Rockwell (Choke) and Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords).
