Kim Possible Promo Post

Kim Possible

TV cartoon show

87 episodes + one movie

Where to find it: Disney+ is a legit source. A less legit source is, surprisingly, YouTube. Last I checked nearly all the episodes (not the movie) were on YouTube

Kim Possible is a combination action/adventure, comedy, and high school drama about a teenage heroine defeating villains while trying to maintain her social life. She succeeds for the most part! Most episodes are a balance of regular life drama and actiony villain fighting. Sometimes there’s an Aesop, a couple of times there’s a spoof Aesop. Very much a comedy, too, with lots of running gags and a few callbacks. But! There is no real overarching plot. You can pick out a few episodes (like those with your favorite villain) and still know what’s going on. So the Drama is the movie capping the third season that doubles as a mystery.

What do I love about it? What DON’T I love about it? Great protagonists and antagonists! Each character is unique and memorable. There’s practically a villain for everyone to like. Mad science! Ninja monkeys! Killer golfers! Life lessons that make sense (for the most part...I’m looking at you, Halloween episode). Subtext! Obvious text! Relationship advice! (Though I really don’t like Kim/Ron)

What sort of things am I likely to request for it? Drakken. Dr. Drakken is, hands down, my favorite character. Good things happening to him make me happy and I LOVE Drakken/Kim (mid-season 3 onwards only due to ages). I’m not going to specifically request it, but I would love exploring the deaths of the synthodrones with personalities in So the Drama as a debate point on the measure of non-human lives in the Kim Possible universe.

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfill your requests? As I said earlier, each episode (save for A Sitch in Time which I hate with a burning passion) is standalone. You could just pick out the Drakken episodes. Or, if you’re daring and short on time, you could just watch So the Drama and get a good idea on the main characters.

Content warnings: The worst I can think of is violence due to the action scenes. Death is more of a dropped a bridge on them in season 4. There is a genuine ‘what measure is a non-human?’ death in So the Drama that I would LOVE to be explored a bit.
