What’s THIS?!? An Invader Zim movie that’s just as GOOD as the series?!?

NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE!

😉

Seriously though, very well done revival, it feels like a long episode of the series, all voice actors are back and hit their marks flawlessly, and it feels like the series never ended, DAMN YOU NICKELODEON!

If you’re a fan of ZIM! (Foolish human, how could you NOT LOVE ZIM!) you MUST watch this, the Irken Elite DEMAND it!

One downside… not enough GIR.  
One other downside… too much pudding!

They borrowed a bunch from the comics - the beginning of the story (after the anime-esque bit, up until Zim forgets his Phase 2, which in the comics was to humiliate Dib with pictures of him melded to his chair), the existence of Moo-Ping-10, and Gaz’s less abrasive personality. Which is great…while I’ve fallen behind, the comic is very good.

But, yeah, it was a lot of fun. I especially liked the stylistic changes for the opening and later scenes…fun, and well done.

Wonderful ZIM movie. I am still impressed by the Level of crazy These guys are able to project onto the screen. And I agree, way too much pudding - and bad pudding at that.

Hey, I remember that show! I had no idea they made a movie about it though. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
