Napoleon Bonafrog is a lackadaisical mutant frog.
Appearance[]
Napoleon wears a blue unicorn shirt that says "happiness is friends", a pink fanny pack, and a clump of mud as a hat.
Personality[]
Napoleon and Mikey find that they have a lot of similarities, which is why they understand each other so well. Napoleon describes himself as a "free spirit" and explains that, like Mikey, the other frogs look down at him and get frustrated for his goofiness.
History[]
The Croaking: Napoleon encounters Michelangelo in the forest and tries to attack him but is easily subdued by the latter.
The next day, Attila then promotes Napoleon to general upon seeing the wisdom in him. Napoleon is excited by his new position as he now outranks Genghis Frog. He and his followers then head to Louisiana to live with their un-mutated relatives there.
Trivia[]
- Naopleon's personality and mannerisms was inspired by the titular character of the 2004 comedy film Napoleon Dynamite, which were originally a parody of the youth culture of Cache Valley on the border of Utah and Idaho.
- His voice actor, Jon Heder uses the same voice and speech patterns he used for Dynamite on Bonafrog. The casting was part of an inside joke on how both characters share the same first name.
- Several references from Napoleon Dynamite are featured surrounding Bonafrog:
- In the sequence where he appears training with Michelangelo the music playing is calm and simple, resembling the track "Canned Heat" by Jamiroquai used in the dance sequence from the film.
- The pink fanny pack he wears is a nod to Deb Bradshaw, who wore one in the film.
- Some of Bonafrog's lines are similar to Dynamite's, for example, "Like Nunchuck skills or Bō Staff skills…" ("You know, like nunchaku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills..."),[1] also the frequent use of "Gosh!" and "Idiot" in his sentences is reminiscent from Dynamite.
- Napoleon's shirt has the exact same unicorn design from Mikey's +1 Ring of Awesome in "Mazes & Mutants".
