"Napoleon Dynamite" animated series coming to Fox

Heyo! It's what the kids are into; Fox ordered six episodes of Napoleon Dynamite, an animated series, and with very little tweaking. The entire original cast will voice their characters from the film and even Jon Heder (who has gone on to bigger and better things...kinda) has agreed to join. Take a look at the picture above. The creators remained faithful to the movie. Why change something people loved in 2004?

Additionally, Fox picked up the animated series Allen Gregory which stars Jonah Hill who voices Gregory, "the world’s most celebrated seven-year-old" forced to attend grade school with normal kids. It's about time Jonah Hill is credited with some intelligence in his roles. (I also hear he's good at improving one's tastes.)

I didn't get Napoleon Dynamite then, and I don't get it now. But yay Jonah Hill!

What about the Gentlemen Broncos animated series? Or at least the Denver Broncos, with John Elway voiced by Will Arnett?

They should have made a movie called Josephine TNT starring Ellen Page.
