Napoleon Dynamite has spawned sequel talk, but did you know there was a short-lived animated series featuring the movie characters?
The Big Picture In the early 2000s, an independent comedy set in middle-of-nowhere Idaho swept the world by storm. Written by husband and wife filmmakers Jared and Jerusha Hess and directed by the former, Napoleon Dynamite debuted at Sundance Film Festival in 2004. The film was loosely based on a short that Jared Hess made while attending college and quickly became a cult classic, grossing over $40 million on a $400,000 budget.
But, for the most part, the series stays true to the world of the feature film. Napoleon is still committed to the FFA, Kip still dates online, Rico continues to live in his van, and Pedro remains student body president. Additionally, characters like Don and Summer fill out the world, now populated by a host of both new and familiar characters. But beyond just characters, the series continues to expand on elements set up during or introduced in the original film.
As audiences got reacquainted with the cast, the cartoon sitcom messed around with all the familiar dynamics. "Pedro vs. Deb" forced the two former friends to work through their differences , while "Scantronica Love" pushed our titular hero into admitting that he has some sort of romantic interest in Deb.
Despite this, Fox boasted that the series ranked sixth in entertainment programs among teenagers , which made it all the stranger that they canceled it after half a season, opting to focus on making another season of Bob's Burgers instead. It makes sense though as the network had already produced a season of the animated sitcom, and given how it turned out , it was clearly the right call.
But by 2018, Sunday Funday was reworked into "Fox Sunday Night," this time without live-action shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Last Man On Earth . As it turns out, like Napoleon's extra two hours of adventures, Fox's latest programming block wasn't meant to last. Not even reruns of Tim Allen's Last Man Standing could save Fox Sunday Night, and the block was soon dropped, only to be replaced by a resurrected Animation Domination.
