Napoleon Dynamite offers all the gloriously unhinged characters from the 2004 film with none of the snail-like pace that was, arguably, its biggest flaw.

Whatever the case may be, there are some strong laughs to be found here; the animation seems to help bring this unusual little universe to life more effectively than live-action.

Of course Napoleon Dynamite the animated TV series will be as good as Napoleon Dynamite the un-animated movie.

The story certainly does little to impress.

In Fox-Animation terms, they played out like a bad-idea Frankenstein mish-mash of King of the Hill's leisurely pacing and Family Guy's hyperkinetic plotting.

This cartoon is largely not funny because it is implausible.

Napoleon Dynamite isn't great, but it made me smile a number of times, chuckle a couple of times, and laugh out loud at least once.

Fox's animated version of the cartoonish movie Napoleon Dynamite is amusing enough to merit the continuation.
June 18, 2020
"Napoleon Dynamite" is funny, familiar and original.
January 23, 2012
Everything feels like a put-on; nothing seems plausible.

If you were reduced to hysterical laughter by the concept of herbal breast-enlargement cream in the film, you will likely be so again by the superpower-conveying acne medicine in the TV show.
January 23, 2012
The entire series is an overblown caricature of what made the original film enjoyable.
