What's weird is that this dance somehow smoothly transitions from ridiculous to awesome. I mean, some of these moves are super slick.

This is one of the greatest comedy movies of all time. Napoleon faces his inner battle by exposing his quirky style on a global stage, and demands that he be respected for his authentic self. Sometimes the only way to change the game is to become more quintessentially who you are. By the end, Napoleon is transformed, he wins at tether ball, and literally controls earth's trajectory around the sun.

I wasn't as quirky as Napoleon was, but I also tried too hard to be cool, pretended to not be impressed by almost anything, and I acted really weird and paranoid around girls because I didn't understand them. It makes me laugh now because I see my younger self turned up to 11 with these characters in this movie.

I love when everyone stands up and cheers. Finally Napoleon is celebrated.

This is my favorite movie moment. Napolean laid everything on the line for his best griend Pedro, in front of his whole high school. He was bold, he was courageous, he was completely committed and fearless. Imagine what you would dare to do with a friend like Napolean. You can propose marriage to your true love, go back to school to earn that degree, or start your own business. Dream big, take a chance, and live your life huge. All it takes is courage, and a friend like Napolean. And remember, your friend Napoleon has a dream, too. Support him and encourage him to dare to dream.

Great clip. Only problem is that the end cuts away before Pedro sees and hears the applause and goes from looking sad and solemn to genuinely moved and happy.

2:42 this is, without a question, the best step of the routine. Looks so funky on him!

Me and my dance class did this dance at recital. My mom being my mom, got his whole look and wore it. It was awesome. The dance is actually kind of difficult. It was very fun to do though every body in the crowd loved it!
