Description: Invader ZIM
Based in the near future of earth and space, the Irkens, a technologically advanced race of alien cyborgs, plan an invasion on the entire universe. But there is one thing holding them back... Zim. He destroyed the last plans, and to keep him from performing a repeat, the Tallest Red and Tallest Purple send Zim to Earth. After landing on earth, Zim tries to blend in with his human disguise and assigns himself to Skool (and no, this is not a typo).
Along with his robot sidekick GIR (who disguises himself as a dog), they try to make plans to annihilate the human race. Dib, though a brilliant little boy, is always there to ruin his plans.
Will Zim ever win? Watch and see what happens!
Description: Invader ZIM
Invader ZIM is about Zim, a megalomaniacal (and inept) little alien from the Planet Irk. Lead by the snack-loving Almighty Tallest (on Irk, size determines your role on the Planet), the Irkens are preparing for a mass conquest of the Universe. Zim is incredibly excited to begin his mission, though he has a rather messy history, (Like accidentally attacking his own planet on a psychotic spree) and none of the Irkens really want anything to do with him.
The Tallest give him a mission to the "backwater" planet known as Earth (only in order to ultimately get rid of him). However, Zim is oblivious to the idea that the Tallest see him as a huge joke, and dedicates himself to conquering the "human stinks." He receives a cute, carefree (but incredibly stupid) robot assistant named GIR. (What GIR stands for, I have no idea...) After setting up base on Earth, he disguises himself (badly) as a human child and masquerades as a "Skool" student.
Most of the humans are too stupid to figure it out, but a kid named Dib (who is the son of a famous scientist, and completely obsessed with the Paranormal) quickly sees through his disguise. Dib dedicates himself to ridding the Earth of Zim, even though NO ONE seems to believe him. Will Zim succeed in his mission of Doom? Is Dib really the only person smart enough on Earth to see through Zim's bad disguise? Will GIR ever stop singing that blasted "Doom Song?" Watch this utterly insane show to find out!
