Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time

Time travel is a great gimmick for a feature length version of a tv show and it works here.

This is much like a typical good episode only longer and a few other treats:

Firstly you get to see the main characters as (younger) kids and it's adorable and also good fun to see how it all began (concisely I might add). But it's not mainly about that.

It's a poignant story about enduring friendship that makes for an epic, visually stunning adventure with some swell developments, various bad guys teaming up and a muscular mole rat army.

There's really nothing to dislike.

"Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time" works as a feature-length episode of this cracking Emmy-nominated series and as a good movie in its own right, if not the most original one of its type - but in any case, time travel's always a good source of stories and so are villains teaming up. In this case, writers/story editors Bill Motz and Bob Roth have most of Kim's recurring enemies joining forces to sort out our heroine once and for all, with Kim getting some help from the future's Rufus 3000 - a muscle-bound molerat who talks with the voice of Michael Dorn. Okay, so it does have some originality...

Most of the show's regular (Kim, her parents, Ron, the tweebs Jim and Tim, Wade, Rufus) and semi-regular characters (Drakken, Shego, Monkey Fist, Duff Killagin, Bonnie, Monique) make appearances here - though Senor Senior Senior and Senor Senior Junior are missing - and a lot of the fun comes from seeing their future selves, especially Wade and the tweebs; unlike some extended episodes there's no padding at all, and plenty of what makes "Kim Possible" such a great show, from sharp writing to good vocal acting (give Christy Carlson Romano credit for differentiating between Kim as herself and as a slightly younger version of herself - and Walt Disney Television credit for leaving the guest cast uncredited until the end).

The identity of the Supreme One is a bit too easy to guess - though in fairness Rufus 3000 does say it's obvious - and the insistence on draping a couple of the fight scenes with distracting songs is unfortunate (Adam Berry's score intentionally references John Williams's "Minority Report" music at one point, which is much more interesting), but these are the sole real flaws in an otherwise good production. Fun both for fans and for newcomers, "Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time" is SO not the waste of time, and arguably the best thing Freddie Prinze Jr's done to date.

"Why is everyone in the future so ripped?"

I liked this movie very much. I sat down and watched it with my kids who are into the Kim Possible show. I liked the fact that were so many "big-name" voices in this one. This movie was pretty much like the show except the obvious being longer in length. You had Kim fighting villains that were in her show and actually losing a battle or two to the "bad guys." I liked the fact that they made the relationship between her and her friend/sidekick, Ron Stoppable, that of a "friends only" type of thing when they showed it. There were her brothers who I don't really recall in her shows in this movie. In fact, they helped out quite a bit! Good one to add to your collection!

Featuring the characters of the original Kim Possible series, this film proves to a be gripping, exciting and quite hilarious along the way. The flaws are mediocre animation and fighting that, though it may be cool, it becomes tedious. Better things about the film are the songs (though they may not be to everyone's standards as they are quite modern), the gags and the plot. This film will be enjoyable for most teenagers and children!

Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable have a rather tough adventure on their hands. Ron has just moved to Norway and without him, Kim is finding beating the boisterous baddies particularly difficult. With a stone idol called "Tempus Simmea", which is a small monkey statue, the villains are trying to activate some sort of evil...

Enjoy "Kim Possible: A Stitch In Time"! :-)

As a parent, I love this show. It's hip (far as I can tell, anyway), funny, exciting, teaches gentle moral lessons without an unduly heavy hand, and manages to hint at being sexy without remotely getting close to any boundaries. At its best, KP is better than lots of "Buffy" was.

Alas, this film isn't up to KP's own standard. Like many feature-length excursions from a TV series, it goes off in directions that are not really part of the canon, including some time-travel into the near future that lets us see some things about the characters' destinies that are just not all that interesting.

Regardless, the devotion Kim and her sidekick Ron have for each other, which is--to my mind--the greatest strength of this show, comes through clearly, and that's a good enough reason for KP's fans to see this one. If, however, "Sitch" is your first meeting with the high-school superspy who "can do anything," give the series a try too; it's better than this not-bad film.
