Fox Home Entertainment and vMix Announce Napoleon Dynamite Online Video Dance-Off to Launch Release of Special Edition DVD

SAN DIEGO, May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Dust off your moon boots and get your freak on. Napoleon Dynamite challenges all aspiring wannabes to a dance-off on vMix in honor of the upcoming Fox Home Entertainment release of Napoleon Dynamite: Like, The Best Special Edition Ever!, coming to DVD May 16, 2006.

Beginning May 3rd , dancers can dance off against Napoleon's performance made famous in the 2004 movie by easily creating their own dance video on vMix, a global consumer-generated video sharing online community. Aspiring dancers can send their video to their friends and totally rig the voting by directing them to "Vote for Me" on the vMix site, www.vmix.com/danceoff. Dance-off winners will receive flippin' sweet prizes including a 30 GB video iPod pre-loaded with the top dance-off videos, a DVD player, "Vote for Pedro" t-shirts, and, of course, the Napoleon Dynamite: Like, the Best Special Edition Ever! DVD. Lucky!

The special edition DVD will feature new extras including the documentary "World Premier Jared Hess," Napoleon appearances from MTV's "Total Request Live," the "MTV Movie Awards," "Saturday Night Live" and the "Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards" as well as never-before-seen outtakes and alternate scenes.

vMix is a venue for amateurs and professionals to communicate with one another using the powerful medium of video and music. Unlike other consumer-generated video Web sites, vMix is dedicated to providing a platform and creation tools for mixing photo slide shows and videos. vMix is an easy way for video creators to reach the world.

And, unlike other social networking sites, vMix, since its inception, has had filters that keep out pornography and other inappropriate material.

"We truly believe the vMix dance-off is bigger than Dancing with the Stars," said vMix CEO Greg Kostello. "You don't need super-sweet nunchuck skills to know that no star burns brighter than Napoleon Dynamite."

"vMix is thrilled to partner with Fox Home Entertainment on the release of Napoleon Dynamite: Like, the Best Special Edition Ever! DVD," said Kostello. "We encourage vMixers to express their inner Napoleon by logging on and letting go," he said.
