Cult hit comedy Napoleon Dynamite is coming to Fox — in animated form — and the entire original cast, including star Jon Heder, are providing the voices.
Six episodes of the show have been ordered so far, with more contingent on ratings. The look and feel of the characters reminds me of King of the Hill, another comedy set in rural America, but the animation duties are actually being handled by Rough Draft Studios, which has worked on Futurama, The Simpsons, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Comedy Central’s Drawn Together, among others.
