Efren Ramirez, famous for his breakout role as Pedro in the hit film āNapoleon Dynamiteā will be reprising his role, only this time, heās a cartoon!
The FOX network will be picking up where the odd yet popular film left us off in a spinoff animated television series. In a recent interview with āLatina.comā, the star revealed some information regarding the new production, stating, āSo in the movie, [Napoleon] becomes friends with Pedro and in the animated series, we can really explore the characters.ā
According to the star, fans may have to dig out those āVote for Pedroā t-shirts once more. āIn the animated series, youāll see Pedro as {class} president for the first time. At some point he does become mayor. Heās moving on up.ā Pedro for mayor? Iād vote for him!
Ramirez went on to explain why producers opted for an animated series rather than the typical sequel or prequel that seems to follow most hit films nowadays. He said, āItās a film that families sit together, watch and enjoy. So of course there was talk of a sequel or prequel, but they wanted to do something that was appropriate because you donāt want to disappoint the audience, you know?ā Yes, Efron, we most definitely do know.
Hopefully the show will achieve, as āLatina.comā puts it, a ācult followingā. The series is set to premiere this Sunday at 8:30pm.
