What happens

Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus is a 2019 American animated science fiction comedy film based on Jhonen Vasquez's eponymous television series. Serving as a continuation of the series following its 2002 cancellation, the film was directed by Hae Young Jung, Young Kyun Park and Vasquez, the latter of whom wrote its screenplay. In the film, Zim, in an attempt to gain the attention of his all mighty leaders accidentally creates a planet-wide cataclysmic event, and its up to his human nemesis Dib to set things right. Richard Steven Horvitz, Rosearik Rikki Simons, Andy Berman, Melissa Fahn, Rodger Bumpass, Vasquez, Wally Wingert, Kevin McDonald and Olivia d'Abo reprise their voice roles from the series. The film was conceived after several discussions between Nickelodeon and Vasquez on creating an Invader Zim revival after its cancellation and was officially announced in April 2017. Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus was originally set to air on Nickelodeon, but instead released on Netflix on August 16, 2019. The film received positive reviews from critics, with many applauding it as a strong revival of the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
