^ invader Zim is coming back?

[NostradamusTheSeer]

The movie is slated for sometime later this year, my little fangirl, along with the "RML: Static Cling" film.  Hopefully, in revisiting its past series, Nick doesn't make the same misstep they did with John K. and the "Adult Party Cartoon".

^ invader Zim is coming back?

Wait... what? 

[Wolfwood]

WOW.

Invader Zim is returning to TV with a new movie after more than a decade off the air

[NostradamusTheSeer]

Back in the 2010's, John K. took peoples money through a crowdfunding project.  He got the money he wanted, but he never produced the cartoon he promised.

"Cans Without Labels" was partly completed, and some of the animation has made it online.

However, I fear it's languished close to eight years, unfinished, like a lot of John K.'s projects-- The Ren and Stimpy episode "Life Sucks", "He-Hog", "Weekend Pussy Hunt", and "The G.D. George Liquor Show".  Pity.  It had a sound concept and a lot of promise. 

On that note, The Ripping Friends had potential too, but between Kricfalusi's dissatisfaction with the show's handling and the unfortunate timing of two particular episodes being delayed due to 9-11, it was never fully realized.  The show only saw 13 episodes.

How come I didn't hear about this till now?  I thought this would have been exploding in cartoon circles!  It isn't!

[NostradamusTheSeer]

I only just learned about it myself, right after I learned about the IZ comic book.  There's a lot of speculation among the cult fandom that this may be an adaptation of the long awaited "Invader Dib" project, and wondering who will replace the late actress who voiced Miss Bitters (I think Tress MacNeille could do a good job, and her part doesn't even have to be that large).   Friends and fans, in honor of Zim's return from network exile-- a toast! Join me now in raising a tall can of Poop Cola...!

I wonder how things may have changed since we've last seen them in their world and their SKOOL?  Ha ha.

I was never a huge fan of the show as I found it a very negative show on pretty much everything, but I also found it funny and I am excited to see a popular show come back, hopefully for the better.

Something for us to remember is Dan Schneider's allegations are simply allegations.  No one has come out and said anything against Dan. None of the actors, no one. All the rumors started on toxic places like Reddit and 4Chan.

John Kricfalusi's allegations are REAL.  Two people have come out and stated he sexually groomed them and wanted sexual favors done.

A new show called, "Bunsen Is a Beast" will premier in February 2017.

So I caught this one, finally.  Very odd show. Sort of a Fairly Odd Parents meets My Pet Monster kind of thing.   I don't know if I like it yet.

@NostradamusTheSeer No need to.  Don't get attached.  It's already cancelled.

Nickelodeon President, Cyma Zarghami, is stepping down after over 30 years.

Link.

As Part Of Major Strategic Shift At Viacom, Nickelodeon's ‘Pinky Malinky’ Will Debut On Netflix (This also means they have low confidence in this show.  It was produced three years ago and never aired.  Means the show stunk so bad, they didn't want it on their network.  So they are making Netflix pay for it.)

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movies Are Getting Another Reboot.

[Anyponedrawn]

Still looks like Nickelodeon has no future at this point. No good new cartoons.

[Smiles2us]

So still no new shows from this network.  Sad.  It used to be all cartoons mainly, and now it's mostly a Disney Channel clone.
