OK so did anyone watch the new Napoleon Dynamite animated show?

[Initech]

I have to say - it's been really true to the movie so far. All the characters haven't been changed a bit.

1. I'm gonna give it another chance.

How come Kip can do backflips on stilts?

Seems kinda cool but I don't know if it's going to be able to live up to the movie.

2. I watched a few minutes just to see what it was like

My first impression was: hey, I've seen this before, why'd they make it again?

The voices are good, are they the original actors? If so, then it might have a chance, as long as eventually they stray from the film and add new material.

3. Yes, they got all the original actors

at least, all the main ones. I believe there are more in the cartoon than the movie though - I know I saw Deidrich Bader's name pop up in the credits and don't remember him in the movie.

I loved the 2 eps tonight. Set my DVR for "series."

4. Bader was the the martial arts instructor in the film

Can't remember his character's name at the moment, though.

5. Doh!

lol yeah, now I remember...it's been so long since I saw the movie...

9. He was the neighbor with the mullet in "Office Space", Lawrence.

6. It was way better than I had expected.

I think I'm gonna rewatch the movie after watching this just to see what they've changed and what stays the same.

7. They need to make an office space cartoon

With commercial interruptions and everything. True irony.

[Initech]

10. I could see Office Space working as an animated show.

As long as Mike Judge is still in charge. But how would they explain the destruction of Initech?

[GoCubsGo]

8. Yes. I liked it.

It's nice to have something following "The Simpsons" that I would want to watch. The new show they had on this fall was horrible.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

11. Yes. I liked it!!

It was sooooo absurdist. Veering into surreal

I wondered, however....how much absurdist animation can the world take? And there a finite well of absurdity? Simpsons, Family Guy, Napoleon Dynamite, etc.......can they keep finding new absurdities?

Hope so!
