Opening with a Bond-style action sequence, the 2005 Disney Channel Original Movie Kim Possible: So the Drama finds our heroine attempting to foil Drakken's most insidious plot yet. What can he possibly want with robots from Nakasumi Toys (the company from the series' first episode, "Crush"), Dr. Possible's cybertronic technology, creepy syntho-drones, and the latest teen fads? Kim's used to fighting Drakken; the bigger problem is finding a date to the prom, or--worse--going with Ron, who's so not that kind of friend. Enter the new guy in school, Eric, who's cute enough to inspire cootie alerts. But that means no more hanging out with Ron, who's also having major issues with Bueno Nacho's new management. Hang-ups aside, the two friends will have to figure out a way to save the world one more time, leading to the debut of a spankin'-new outfit and a surprise ending. So the Drama marks the end of Disney's Kim Possible series. For its cool adventures, its nifty gadgets, its hip wit, and a teen heroine that appeals to both youngsters and oldsters, it will be missed. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Early Review, April 9, 2005

By

This review is from: Kim Possible - The Movie - So the Drama (Extended Edition) (DVD)

At the time of this writing, the Kim Possible special, "So The Drama" has just been telecast. Intended to be the series finale, the plot involves the show's villainous Dr. Drakken finally figuring out a rather comprehensive scheme to take out his arch-nemesis Kim Possible.

The story is "angsted" up from the usual goings-on in the series, with the music just a bit edgier, the action just a tad more violent (Shego, Drakken's evil hench-woman actually draws blood on Kim, at one point), and even through there's a realization that this is set in the cartoon world, there's a serious tone to this film.

This made-for-tv special does something that few Disney Animated TV series have actually done, and that's resolve a loose end that haa been materializing throughout the program, and in particular the last five episodes. Here, Kim, the heroine, and her comic assistant, Ron Stoppable, are growing up. Ron has little to offer the beautiful high-schooler save his loyalty, and being the underdog ---well, after this film, things will never be same between them.

While the animation is sub-par compared to Disney's theatrical releases, the fact that the budget has been cranked up shows. And certain choreographed action scenes show the work the writers and producers put into this climax. The fight scenes between Kim and Shego are certainly more intense than anything we've ever seen on a regular episode. Still, certain moments feel rushed, and a slight dramatic pause or two would have helped the emotional intensity of what's going on.

The DVD release is supposed to include the never-before episode "Gorilla Fist" which also slightly hints at the events in "So the Drama," and there are also some extended or deleted scenes that had to be cut from the film due to time.

Have to confess, I wish the DVD had commentary from series director, Mr. Loter, and other producers.

"So the Drama" deserves credit for taking a few chances for a Disney series, when it could have been safer for the writers and producers not to. Hopefully some of the other Disney continuing series might learn something from this.

Even though this may be the last Kim Possible adventure, I hope this DVD will encourage a return from KP and Ron Stoppable in the future.


Sincerely,

JThree

5.0 out of 5 stars An adult & parent who still has lots of kid in him, April 10, 2005

This review is from: Kim Possible - The Movie - So the Drama (Extended Edition) (DVD)

As anyone somewhat familiar with the series knows, the popularity of this supposed finale combined with a German syndication deal led to Disney deciding to do a fourth season, which concluded with the two-part "Graduation" episode aired in September of 2007.

Here is my original review:

The "Kim Possible" series came out about ten years too late for me to enjoy watching it with my daughter. Thankfully, I still have a lot of kid in me and, having discovered the series midway through its second season, have thoroughly enjoyed it as a welcome and much-needed alternative to the cesspool that is most of today's television. I must confess I even got a little attached to the characters as the series progressed, especially leading up to the movie, whose "mission" as a finale to the series was a poorly kept secret.

The movie is fantastic. Bob Schooley, Mark McCorkle and Steve Loter all deserve Emmys and loads of praise for exploiting the longer movie format, taking advantage of the latest CGI technology and seemlessly combining it with "traditional" animation, and fleshing out the characters, bringing us a fitting conclusion to the current series. As usual, the cast of voice character actors, led by Christy Carlson Romano and Will Friedle doing the voices of Kim and Ron, are terrific.

This is unquestionably one DVD worth buying and watching. I'm even thinking of getting a copy or two to sock away and give to my future granddaughter(s) and grandson(s). Yes, it's *that* good.
