Info

Invader Zim is an American animated television series created by Jhonen Vasquez. The show premiered on Nickelodeon on March 30, 2001. The series involves an extraterrestrial named Zim who originates from a planet called Irk, and his ongoing mission to conquer and destroy Earth. His various attempts to subjugate and destroy the human race are invariably undermined by some combination of his own ineptitude, his malfunctioning robot servant GIR, and a young paranormal investigator named Dib, one of the very few people attentive enough to be aware of Zim's identity.

Invader ZIM Audience Reviews

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
C.A. Morvant I might be a little bias since I am a super fan of this show, but it's just so great. The entire entire premise, the characters, and comedy mixed in with alittle action here and there. It just makes for a good series. Jhonen Vasquez has that dark side of humor that he added into this that made it super funny, and that's what I think the IZ fanbase lacks when making fanfics of this series, his random, darkish, and snarky sense of humor just makes it one-of-kind. I can't wait for the TV movie and I'm expected to be entertained just as much as I was with the original series.
dannylafontaine13 invader zim was a very good show. but it was aimed at young teens. and had lots of disturbing stuff. zim rips a kids eyes out and replaces them with robot eyes. zim steals peoples organs and replaces them with random things. zim gets his skin ripped off. dib goes crazy and gets taken away in a crazy van. a monster tells another monster to walk into a room filled with flames. shes basically telling him to go to hell. gaz kills a character named iggins. a giant hamster kills a bunch of people. and gaz makes a very vilonte threat. she says shell pluck out dibs eyes and chew on his eyeballs. and the whole plot of the show is about zim trying to take over the world. with that being said invader zim is not for little kids. and is a very good show for teens and adults.
Delaney Smith This is easily the DARKEST children's show I've ever seen in my life. But it's perfect! The voice acting is perfect, the animation is flawless, the plot lines are absurd and hilarious, and the characters are all well-developed and fun to watch.Zim is the perfect main character--Ambitious, self-centered and determined, yet blissfully unaware of what's going on around him. Not to mention he can, on occasion, be a complete and utter badass. Dib works off of Zim perfectly, and the situations they get into are just... How do you even describe it? One moment, Dib is trying to stop Zim from stealing the organs of kids, another they're working together to stop a giant hamster-monster. Don't even get me started on Gir. I think he's gone a little bit too mainstream, but can you really see why? He's even dumber than Zim, disobedient, and somehow gluttonous, but he's so quotable and hilarious you can't help but laugh every time he's on screen. Even the minor and side characters are unique. Gaz is easily the coolest female character I've ever seen on Nickelodeon (Though that's up against some serious competition). Tak is just awesome... She somehow got an entire backstory and motive crammed into one episode.The score is unique and dark. It gives you this "action scene" vibe. We need that vibe more often.The relationships of the characters are unique as well... Zim and Dib loathe each other, but when they work together, you get this sense of teamwork. Gaz and Dib are siblings, right? Well, Gaz couldn't care less about Dib, though he really cares about his younger sister.This was really one of Nickelodeon's shining moments. It's truly a shame it had to end. But if you're interested, there's a comic. Which is also great.
prestonwardcondra Extremely surprised by the praise this show gets. It's not horrendous or anything. I even bought Season 2 of this show back when I was in 6th Grade (2006)Now it seems this show doesn't age very well. Number one reason being that only about 20 or so episodes of Invader Zim were ever made and seeing the same episodes on rotate, again and again really gets annoying after awhile.The plot is this. Zim and Gir are sent on a mission by the Irks (a race of aliens) to take over Planet Earth. A very simple premise, fine and dandy.Zim (the main character) doesn't know how to keep his damn mouth shut for more than five seconds and his arch-rival Dib, isn't that much better with trying to the prove the existence of aliens in...oh I don't know in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. It's a washed out formula that gets on my nerves.The only episode I honestly I ever really cared for was the "Mysterious Mysteries" episode with Kevin Michael Ricardson trying to bring some life in his dying TV program and the flying squirrel eating Dib's head (in Gir's imagination) was hilarious.But that's my ten cents as far as I'm concerned with this cartoon and I'm sticking with it.
