Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus (Netflix) - 4/5

This movie is basically a long episode for the original show and feels a lot like just another episode, which is impressive given the 18 year time difference in production. For those unfamiliar with the show will probably be lost, because the movie doesn’t really try to explain what’s been going on apart from a few expositionary jokes. It has a strange sense of humor with a bizarre art style and often gross super-antics, but if that’s what you’re looking for then this movie delivers in spades.

Closest comparison: It’s the rivalry of Step Brothers with the strange artistic sensibilities of something like Spongebob Squarepants and the manic energy of The Lego Movie (2014).

Setting: Sci-Fi Action
Plot: One-up-manship
Tone: Bizarre Comedy
