# Cult Movie Cartoons Fox Gives the Napoleon Dynamite Show the Green Light By Michael Hines | Published 2010-10-14 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/napoleon-dynamite-show References: [screenjunkies](http://www.screenjunkies.com/tvnews/fox-orders-animated-napoleon-dynamite-show) The Napoleon Dynamite show is set to bring jokes about tater tots and pet llamas back into vogue when it debuts on [Fox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-basic-guys). The [animated show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jazz-cow) plans to pick up where the movie left off, following Napoleon and his friends around their rural Idaho town. Almost all of the original actors from the film have signed on to do voice work for the Napoleon Dynamite show. I'm not too sure if the world needs more 'Vote for Pedro' shirts and cage fighter jokes, but I'll definitely be tuning in to the first few episodes to see what all the fuss is about. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cult Movie Cartoons:** Opportunity for creating animated TV shows based on cult movies, tapping into nostalgia and fanbase for increased viewership and engagement. - **Reviving Pop Culture:** Opportunity to revive and capitalize on popular cultural icons, characters, and catchphrases from cult movies through animated TV shows. - **Celebrity Voice Casts:** Opportunity for animated TV shows to attract audiences by bringing back original actors from cult movies to do voice work, leveraging their existing fanbase. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** Entertainment industry can explore the trend of creating animated TV shows based on cult movies for increased viewership, engagement, and monetization. - **Merchandise:** Merchandise industry can capitalize on the revival of popular cultural icons and catchphrases from cult movies through animated TV shows, creating new merchandise and collectibles. - **Voice Acting:** Voice acting industry can seize the opportunity to work with original actors from cult movies in animated TV shows, expanding their repertoire in new mediums. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Revived Retro Animations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-animated-series.md) - [Income-Centric Animated Comedies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-basic-guys.md) - [Adult Animated Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animated-comedy.md) - [Graphic Novel-Inspired Animations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scott-pilgrim-takes-off.md) - [Iconic Comedy NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-lampoon.md) - [Animated Pop Revival Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-pups.md) - [Bizarre Transformative Comedy Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-nugget-trailer.md) - [Cartoon-Celebrating Snack Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popchips-and-the-garfield-movie.md) - [Upcoming Nostalgic Animated Movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plankton-the-movie.md)
