‘Invader Zim: Enter The Florpus’ Trailer: Zim And Dib Are At It Again
Hot on the heels of last weekend’s debut of the Nickelodeon specialRocko’s Modern Life: Static Clingon Netflix (which was one of the best nostalgic revivals I’ve ever seen), this weekend, another Nicktoon gets a revival on Netflix with a special of their own.
Invader Zim: Enter the Florpusbrings back the invading alien from the Nickelodeon animated series, but this time Zim has learned the secret of his journey to Earth and finds out no one will be following him to Earth. With his confidence crushed, Zim becomes vulnerable to his human nemesis Dib, and there’s no telling if he has the gumption to survive. Watch theInvader Zim Enter the Florpustrailer below.

Much likeRocko’s Modern Life, this revival looks like it’s perfectly in tune with the original series and doesn’t feel like it’s arrived years after the original show ended. The animation style hasn’t been updated, and the voices are still pitch perfect. But will this pack the same kind of satisfying punch thatStatic Clingbrought forRocko’s Modern Lifefans? We’ll find out this weekend.
Invader Zimfollowed a space alien named Zim who is sent on a mission to infiltrate Earth by his own planet as a way of just getting rid of him. Much to their surprise, Zim succeeds in setting up a base on Earth as he poses as a human child and plots the planet’s downfall. But Zim’s arch nemesis Dib is trying to foil his planet domination at every turn, though no one believes the claims that Zim is actually an invading alien. Here’s the synopsis for the TV movie:
