Zina and the Vivid Crew

Zina and the Vivid Crew (also known as Zina Supermoon and the Vivid Crew: The Movie and released in the United Kingdom as such) is a 2004 American animated comic science fiction film based on the Nickelodeon animated series Zina Supermoon, produced by Bear Bones Productions, O Entertainment and Nickelodeon Movies and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It was written and directed by series creator Jake Sharratt and co-written by Steve Oedekerk, Sarah Silverman, Erica Rivinoja, Tab Murphy, and Noni White, and stars the voices of Silverman, Hank Azaria, Richard Kind, Drew Barrymore, Christopher Lloyd, Molly Shannon, and Patrick Warburton.

The events of the film take place during the fifth season of Zina Supermoon. In the film, the title character forms teamwork with Tab and Zipper from the Vivid Crew to stop the mysterious Rebel from stealing the Vooruian city's power energy and using it to wipe out the population. Originally, the film was intended to serve as the series finale, but Paramount, Nickelodeon, and Bear Bones ordered more episodes of the series up until 2009 as it had become profitable akin to Malachi and Friends, so Mala resigned as showrunner, with series storyboard artist Chris Savino taking his place.

Zina and the Vivid Crew was released on December 17, 2004, by Paramount Pictures. It received generally positive reviews and was a box office success, grossing $293 million worldwide against a $70 million budget and later gaining a cult following through television syndication and its home video release. The film was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2005, ultimately losing to The Incredibles.
