PARK CITY — A troupe of Napoleon Dynamites took to the street in Park City this week, as this year marks the 20th anniversary of the film's debut at the Sundance Film Festival.
The flash mob members each sported a T-shirt like the one Napoleon wore during his famous dance scene, but this one says "RE-ELECT PEDRO 2024." They also donned red curly wigs, dad jeans, oversized wire-framed glasses and those classic moon boots.
The group performed Napoleon's signature dance on Main Street to Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" as some onlookers cheered.
"20 years and the dance moves are still fresh," Sundance Film Festival said in a tweet, sharing the video.

Love "Napoleon Dynamite" or hate it, it's undeniable that the film is a cultural phenomenon for Utah and Idaho — highlighting some shared aspects of the states' unique cultures — and we support these celebrations.
