Summary: I'm so Happy! All the time! It's GREAT!
Review: Oh My gosh, these last few days since I bought the invader zim vol 3 dvd have been so great. the humour has to be taken in a lighthearted, silly context, but you'll enjoy it if you can manage that. Be sure to watch for the turkey in backseat drivers from beyond the stars. you'll...laugh...for...hours....

Summary: I love this show!!!
Review: i have never seen a funnier show since the simpsons! i love the style of drawing, the cute angry little voices of the characters and there is so much colour in the animation! you should get this because it is something different from most shows. i have all the dvds and am waiting for the box with the extra disc. the characters are all unique, from zim's zealous behaviour to gir's outrageously funny and cute sayings. this show ROCKS!

Summary: Malfunction overload! Ho ho ho!
Review: More weird than funny, but it's a good kind of weird. I like it. Especially the "Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars" episode.

5 stars for this DVD.

Summary: In response to Jorge Barboza Retana:
Review: Nickelodeon was never going to let Zim go. Why? Because when Nick let go of Doug, guess who got it? That's right--Disney. And do you know how rich Disney is now? They're not gonna make the same mistake twice, so rather than drop IZ completely, they just hung onto it so no one could buy it. Plus they show reruns on the Nicktoons channel, but you need digital cable for it (which I don't have). MTV or Comedy Central? Yeah right. That is all.

Summary: I GOT MONKEYS IN ME!
Review: This is the third and final volume in the long-awaited Zim DVD set. It contains all 6 of the unaired season 2 episodes, which, aside from some grainy encodes sent to fan site servers from fans in Brazil, (as well as occasional screenings at conventions and the like) have never been seen by residents of the U.S. or Canada.
This final installment in the series finishes of the first season with the fan favorite "Tak, the Hideous New Girl" which started a whole new continuity which carried into the second season and, had the series continued, would have brought the series into more space-themed stories, where Dib and the Resisty would join forces to oppose the Irken Empire. Unfortunately, such a turn of events never took place, but we did at least get to see a few great continuital episodes such as "Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars" and the highly sought after "Frycook What Came From All That Space", which was predecessor to a major but unfinished episode, "The Trial."
We also get a lot of irrelevant but funny episodes, features of which include Dib and his guidance counselor, a little girl who gets stranded in Zim's gnome field, and a curse that makes everything Gaz eats taste like pork.
The only major problem with this volume is the accidental inclusion of the edited-for-TV version of "The Most Horrible Xmas Ever." While Media Blasters is working to correct the problem, it's still disapointing that we don't yet get to see staff member Ian Graham crushed to death by an immense piece of machinery.
This is a must-buy for any Zim fan, of course, but fans of animation in general will enjoy the well orchestrated chase scenes and fancy CG effects used in a few of the major episodes. There's also some particularly great scores here from composer Kevin Manthei, whose interview is not included on this or any other volume, so we'll have to assume that it will be included on the "extra disc" packaged with the box set.
Flaws aside, this is the perfect way to wrap up a great and obscure animated series. Get it.

Summary: Zim & Gir at more of their best, but a problem.
Review: Yes, yet another fabulous DVD in the 3 volumes of the Invader Zim series, the series which was killed long before it should of by inept Nickelodeon corporate nitwits. Yet more insane crazy Monkey Fun from such a cult hit. Before you go ahead a buy this particular volume right now, WAIT AND READ ON! The advertised "UNCUT XMAS EPISODE" is not currently on this volume. The Media Blasters people reported a "BOO BOO" on their part, and accidently put on the edited episode. They intend to replace the mistake on future printings of this volume. It was last reported that they HOPE to have this problem fixed by Late November of 2004 OR possibly sometime in December 2004. So it might be best for those of you who do not have any of the volumes yet to wait until the ULTIMATE set is released (Hopefully) sometime in January 2005. There are two things listed to be released in January 2005 for Invader Zim Box sets. One is "JUST THE BOX" along with ONE extra DVD and a few other nicknacks (it does not include the 6 DVD's of the episodes, so don't be lured in by it's price). The second is the actual FULL and complete box set of EVERYTHING, including all 6 DVD's of the 3 volume set, along with the extra DVD, along with the BOX and other goodies. So sit back and wait a little while, it won't be much longer till we can have our ultimate fun. Gir - "I'M NAKED!!"
