‘Invader Zim’ will return and try to conqueror the world in a TV movie for Nickolodeon. Zim and his robot sidekick Gir who failed continuously in their nefarious plots to takeover the world with hilarious dark results in the cult cartoon series which debuted in 2001. The return movie will feature the main voice cast, and is not the first Nicktoon from the past to get a special reboot as ‘Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie’ will be released later this year and a ‘Rocko’s Modern Life’ special currently in production. So if you watch Nick back in day before ‘SpongeBob’ had his Sqaurepants, you must be freaking out over this. The Invader Zim return movie will air in 2018. This is certainly a choice revamp of nostalgia and plays off all those Hot Topic t-shirts we saw floating around in the mid-2000’s. The series stayed out there by being re-aired on Nickolodeon’s Nicktoons Network along with being released DVD. ‘Zim’ is also available on several video services including Hulu.
