Kim Possible: She Can Do Anything!

Yes, I was a fan of the Disney cartoon Kim Possible. After all, I was a big fan of Christy Carlson Romano as a teenager—especially as my entire class identified with her overachieving, Type A character Ren Stevens on Even Stevens. Kim Possible had some great plots, interesting villains and well-rounded main characters. It was great to see a teen girl who was allowed to be interested in fashion, cheerleading, and other things girls are often interested in and not shamed for it. That they could help her kickass daily. And that it wasn’t some secret identity situation either—everyone knew who she was and what she did, including her parents. It was just a lot of fun and it’s not surprise that when Disney tried to end the show, fans petitioned and got one more season.

When it was announced that Disney was going to revive Kim Possible as a live-action Disney Channel movie, the reaction was mixed. Some people were all for it, some people were totally against it and some people thought it was a good idea but weren’t sure how it would translate from cartoon to live action. (I was in that camp). There was also an uproar from some fans when the first pictures were released and they realized Kim’s suit didn’t feature a bare midriff. Most other fans clapped back at them, calling out the fact they were upset that they were being denied a chance to look at a teenage girl’s stomach was downright creepy. Otherwise, buzz seemed good and people seemed eager for the movie.

The movie debuted on the Disney Channel on Friday, February 15th, and yes, I watched it.
