Synopsis
An animated series based on the 2004 film, Napoleon Dynamite follows the comic adventures of America's most awesomely awkward teenager and his offbeat family and friends as they navigate small-town life in rural Idaho.
Whether he's facing down bullies or discovering the meaning of friendship, Napoleon (voice of Jon Heder) proves that true heroes follow their own path - especially when they have secret ninja skills from the government.
The original cast from the film - Heder, Aaron Ruell, Efren Ramirez, Tina Majorino, Sandy Martin, Jon Gries and Diedrich Bader - return to voice their roles, and many new characters will be added along the way.
