Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus is a 2019 American animated science fiction comedy film based on the television series Invader Zim, created by Jhonen Vasquez. Serving as a continuation to the series following its cancellation on Nickelodeon's channels in 2006, the film was directed by Hae Young Jung, Young Kyun Park and Vasquez and written by Vasquez. In the film, Zim discovers his almighty leaders never had any intention of coming to Earth, and he loses confidence in himself for the first time in his life, which is the big break his human nemesis, Dib, has been waiting for.
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 the Nickelodeon cable channel but was 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.
