The Emmy winning series survives as a cult hit on DVD, sparking continued interest in its characters and a market for the likenesses of Zim, GIR, and Dib on everything from action figures to pajamas.
Chronicling the exploits of Zim, an alien visitor bent on destroying earth, his frenetic and hilarious robot GIR, and Dib, his archenemy, Invader Zim took a dark and witty look at modern life.
Invader Dib was the title of a planned TV movie that would have aired in the fifth season, and the second season finale was a proposed two parter that was never titled or finalized.
