Let's rock this mother!

After the initial success the film "Napoleon Dynamite" had in 2004, it seems Napoleon will be back once again to rock this mother with a brand new animation series on

FOX. Good news is that they're bringing back the entire original cast, as well as the original director (Jared Hess) and producer. The animation will be done by Rough Draft Studios that previously worked on The Simpsons and Futurama. Judging from the trailer it looks and feels the same as the flippin original.

What the flip?

Actually Napoleon Dynamite started of as a short film finished in 2003 by director Jared Hess called "Peluca". This 9 min. short deals with one day in the life of Seth, the biggest, baddest super nerd (also played by Jon Heder) in the metropolis of Preston Idaho. The events and style brought forward in "Peluca" stayed more or less the same when making "Napoleon Dynamite". Never the less there are some differences, budgetwise ("Peluca" was made for just 500 $), black and white vs. color, different characters etc. But overall if you liked the quirky humor and atmosphere of "Napoleon Dynamite" I can definitely recommend taking a look at "Peluca" as well.

Does the chicken have large talons?

Looking around the internet it seems a lot of people are having serious doubts about the relevance of bringing back Napoleon, claiming it's seven years too late, or FOX ran out of ideas and is hoping for another weird hit show like Family Guy. Gosh!!! Some people... I think the movie, characters and themes lend themselves perfectly to the animated world especially since they all ready look so out of this world and cartoon-like in the first place. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it will work out in the end, what do you think? According to the Fox site the 6 episode series is supposed to air midseason 2012. Don't know when it will come to Hungary though.
