If you can believe it, it has been 20-years since Napoleon Dynamite hit the big screen and turned the nation upside down in laughter. Of course, this didn't happen without also putting Idaho on the map--in the most peculiar way.

While most people confused Idaho (and still do) with Iowa, Ohio, or a place that doesn't exist--this massive comedy made people think that Idaho was some sort of barren flatland where llamas and tractors roamed free.

One of our favorite looks at Napoleon Dynamite is actually not even part of the movie at all--it's the amazing insight into directing the film!

Imagine the genius that went into this movie & it's great seeing the effort put into getting Kip and Napoleon's relationship just right. 

The creatives behind this film were iconic and it's fair to say that no other movie made in the last 20 years have been anything like it.

Just weeks ago, a totally sold out crowd at the Egyptian Theatre in downtown Boise got to watch the movie with the stars of the film: Napoleon, Uncle Rico, and Pedro! It was a really amazing opportunity.

Now, the cast of characters knows that Idaho certainly still loves them--so they're returning!

The watch party hosted by THE stars from 'Napoleon Dynamite' will be taking place a few hours from Boise, in Idaho Falls on November 18th at 8:00 p.m.

Snag your tickets before they're all sold out-- they start at $45 and go up to $100 for VIP, HERE.

See behind the scenes of the movie as we showed above, in this 40-minute inside look!
