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.
Call me, beep me if you wanna get SPOILERS!
I know, I know. I kinda let the Nostalgia Nooks die.
Mostly because I didn’t really have the time to write them and I ran out of
interest, honestly. But I wanted to stick to posting about the Halloweentown
franchise to celebrate Halloween, so here I am!
Hop on your broomstick and avoid the SPOILERS!
Marnie Cromwell (Kimberly J. Brown) has a plan to bridge
Halloweentown and the mortal world: an exchange program! She talks to the
Halloweentown council about letting some students from Halloweentown come learn
at her high school in the mortal realm. The council, though, is a bit
apprehensive due to legends of the Knights of the Iron Dagger—a group dedicated
to destroying everything magical. Marnie assures them that the plan will work
and in the process, bets all the Cromwell magic. So if it fails, her entire
family loses their magic.
Uh oh.
Marnie starts to have doubts but her grandmother, Aggie
(Debbie Reynolds), assures her that everything will be okay.
It’s October! You know what that means—time for ghosts, goblins, witches and other spooky things. It means it’s time to discuss a Halloween movie!
Hop on your broomstick and avoid the SPOILERS!
Time for a Disney Channel Original Movie or DCOM! I should probably do more of these. But in honor of St. Patrick’s Day (which is why this is delayed to then), I present this original movie!
A pot of gold and SPOILERS!
