POTP: What is it from one place to another the Napoleon Dynamite characters that you look upon translates well to animation?
Jon Heder: They are everything so very different and kind of comprehend so many aspects of this prediction and quirky world that was created with respect to the film. I think it volition run well with animation because you be under the necessity, like, the bully, you have the chimerical lead, the best friend...They total seem to have different agendas in the reach this world. It kind of lends itself to rift up lots of different story lines and conflicts in the limits of each of their own relationships.
POTP: When the producers approached you by the idea of an animated series, what were your first thoughts?
JH:I was excited. I illiberal, we had always talked in the inception about doing something, whether it have ~ing a sequel or an animated, or a live exploit in terms of whatever, but I was excited because I'm finally able to make known to fans, like, "Yes, we're making more stuff.' I was just veritably excited to kind of get back into the striking qualities and get back with everyone involved through the film...re-enter that universe.
POTP: As an actor, how sundry is it to re-visit this personage in an animated series, rather than a live-skirmish film?
JH: For the lead bent in an ongoing animated series, I've had to conduct way more emotional range in this role than I to the end of time have in anything else I've transacted. I've had to explore wholly the different sides to Napoleon that I not at all knew were there. It's tender-hearted of like there have been great number times in the recording studio in which place we're like, "What would Napoleon tell here?" or, "How would he spring back? Well, let's try this. Let's try that." It's been a piece of land of fun.
POTP: The film had like a rabid fan base. Was your requisite goal in making the pilot to seek reference of the case to people who already loved the movie or to attract a new audience?
JH: I believe it's a blend. It's like we didn't need to just jump out of the gate statement all the old stuff that everybody knows, on the other hand we wanted to obviously keep it a little familiar. I think there is a doom of new stuff that people are in fact going to grab onto. We be the subject of new characters, new jokes.
