After noticing that [[GIR]] is a failure of a henchman, Zim designs Minimoose to be the ultimate henchman. This episode was originally supposed to air before "[[The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever]]". However, the series was abruptly cancelled, and the producers would only let the animation team finish one episode, so they chose the Christmas special. Minimoose is most like GIR in that he's a failed sidekick of Zim's, and small and cute in appearance, but otherwise the similarities are limited. Minimoose's only form of communication is to squeak or "Meep!", much like Beaker of the Muppets.
