Synopsis of Invader ZIM

Zim is an alien of the Irken species, originally from the planet Irk, whose empire aims for universal conquest. In his society, rank depends solely on height, and Zim, highly enthusiastic and quite scatterbrained, dreams of controlling the entire universe. The Almighty Tallest, the rulers of the empire, want to get rid of him, so they assign him to colonize a distant, unknown planet on the outskirts of the known universe. He is accompanied by G.I.R., a malfunctioning robot servant. That planet is Earth, where Zim must prepare the ground for the invasion. But there is also someone there determined to stop him: Dib, a young investigator of the paranormal who becomes his main rival. Created by Jhonen Vasquez, the series airs on Nickelodeon and follows Zim's attempts to complete his mission.

Trivia about Invader ZIM

The animators of "Zim Eats Waffles" wanted the episode to be a single long shot in an attempt to achieve the longest continuous shot in animation history. The idea was scrapped.
Mark Hamill was hired to voice Zim in the pilot episode, but was replaced by Billy West before the pilot was shown to Nickelodeon executives.
Vasquez wanted someone with no voice-acting experience to voice GIR, because the actors who auditioned offered a voice for the crazy robot that was too conventional. He ultimately chose his friend Rikki Simons.
Nickelodeon announced the cancellation on January 18, 2002, after 27 episodes, when the original order had been for 40.
The series won an Annie Award, an Emmy, and a World Animation Celebration Award, and also received nominations for seven other Annie Awards.
Gaz's console was going to be called "Game Slave Advanced," a parody of the Game Boy Advance, but Nintendo threatened to sue Nickelodeon, so the name was changed to "Game Slave 2."
During a party related to the series, Rikki Simons, the voice of GIR, ended up with a crushed foot and had to wear a cast, as Jhonen Vasquez recalled years later.
