Invader Zim is an American animated television series created by Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon. It centers on an extraterrestrial named Zim from the planet Irk, and his mission to conquer Earth and enslave the human race along with his malfunctioning robot servant GIR. He is antagonized by Dib, a young paranormal investigator who is determined to stop Zim.
Vasquez pitched Invader Zim to Nickelodeon, who desired a series for their older demographic. As the series went on, ratings declined and budgetary issues became more frequent. Before the second season was completed, Nickelodeon cancelled the series, leaving several episodes unfinished. The show first-ran on Nick from 2001 to 2002, with a handful of second season episodes going unaired, although these episodes were later seen on DVD in 2004 and the Nicktoons channel in 2006.
Invader Zim was met with critical acclaim, winning an Annie Award, an Emmy Award and a World Animation Celebration Award, with nominations for six Annie Awards and a Golden Reel Award; due to its cancellation and subsequent popularity, it has acquired a cult following.
A television film based on the series, Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus!, premiered on Netflix on August 16, 2019.
