Kim Possible: A Sitch In Time Trailers

Kim and Ron start out a new school year, only to find out that Ron's family is moving to Norway. This puts a strain on their partnership, just as Dr. Drakken, Monkey Fist, and Duff Killigan team up to find and use an ancient time travel device to rule the world. Attacking Kim in the past, present, and future, can these villians succeed? Or will an unforeseen force be more destructive?

Wonderful character development!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

(*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*)For my first comment, I'm going to say something about the theme; For a Disney cartoon, it's surprisingly cool. In fact, I'd almost rank it near the same level as "Turn Down the Sun," from IS IT FALL YET? Unfortunately, like "Thank You for Being a Friend" by Andrew Gold, it wasn't originally written as a theme song. Some have compared it to the opening cheer from BRING IT ON(2000), although nobody's uniform falls off out of nowhere in this one. You can even hear the swishing of the pom-poms and bouncing around on the gymnasium floorboards through the music, which makes it obvious they used multiple soundtracks here. After the cheer-session, we find Ron has signed both himself and Kim up for Latin class, only to find the Latin he signed them up for was Latin the language, rather than Latin American culture. Which raises the question, Just how dead is Latin as a language if it's still being offered as a course in our schools? Anyway while making his speech about how great the new school season is going to be, he suddenly finds his family is moving out of town...WAY out of town! Specifically, NORWAY! Soon we find that Ron was NOT exaggerating when he said moving out would mean the end of life on earth as we know it, as Kim & Ron's efforts to stop freaky super-villains on three different continents don't work so well. We also find that the Latin class Ron got Kim into were useful after all. Since our little Kimmie-cub is the only thing standing in the way of world domination for Drakken, Shego, Monkey Fist, Duff Killigan or any villains not appearing in this movie, Drakken decides to take the three other mentioned villains and to travel through time to thwart Kim's evolution into the confident teen heroine we know her to be, using primate-obsessive Lord Monkey Fist's knowledge about an ancient time-traveling relic called the "Tempus Simia." Once she figures this out, a much more articulate and not-so-naked descendant of Rufus(voiced by Michael Dorn) visits her from the future and drafts her to help them with the fight against "the Supreme One," by going back in time to stop them. I like how he goes into a grandiose speech about the importance of a mission, and then says "I'm making cookies." Like the original series it's humor relies on slapping standard hero and villain clichés right in the face. Shego has a sarcastic streak rivaling Daria Morgendorffer, even if she's not as smart as or far more evil than Daria. As expected with any movie (or TV-Movie for that matter) based on an existing cartoon since the 1990's, this cartoon relies on something extra to distinguish itself from the regular series -- the use of CGI-Animation, however the use of these techniques is far more subtle than in THE FAIRLY ODD-PARENTS: ABRA-CATASTROPHE(2003)(TV), from earlier that year. Compare this to 1966's THE MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE, which only had musical interludes and unique camera angles to distinguish itself from that series. The statues of "The Supreme One" look like they were done with pencil, but my guess is that they were airbrushed. The fight at Shego's lair seems a lot like something out of STAR WARS, and others appear ripped-off of SAMURAI JACK, but that's not much of a reason to complain. I did notice that one of the people who gave Kim a ride was an Australian Bushman who drove a HUMVEE with left-hand drive(Another goof I tried and failed to submit to IMDb). Despite these anomalies, it's still great partially because it shows the origins of Kim's world-saving activities, and what would happen if she were to fail. Overall, it's not as good as the would-be series-ending "So the Drama," but still good.

(Note: IMDb's automatic spell-corrector will not let me spell the title of this film correctly. It's "A S-i-t-c-h in Time", not "S-T-i-t-c-h".)While Kim Possible (Christy Carlson Romano) sidekick Ron Stoppable (Will Friedle) learns that he must move with his family to Norway, villains Monkey Fist (Tom Kane), Dr. Drakken (John Di Maggio), Shego (Nicole Sullivan) and Duff Killagan (Brian George) join forces to acquire the famed Tempus Simius, which would enable them to time travel and finally rule the world. Can the Possible gang stop them? Unlike other Kim Possible releases, such as The Secret Files (2003), A Stitch in Time is laudable for being conceived and constructed as a single film, telling one longer story, rather than being a compilation of half-hour episodes. However, there may seem to be some negatives with this film, especially if you are considering buying it on DVD. It only clocks in at 66 minutes--on the short side, even for a direct-to-video animated Disney film. There isn't much on the disc in the way of extras--just a very brief but cute "Naked Mole Rap" video (it must be less than 2 minutes long), and a few drawings with brief descriptions of Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable and Rufus at various ages. In terms of quantity, the disc is slim pickins.Even when you first begin watching the film you might be hesitant. A Stitch in Time was drawn and inked largely by Disney's Asian television animation division, and is much simpler in some ways than even other Disney direct-to-video fare, or other Kim Possible DVD releases.But it soon becomes apparent that rather than being overly simplistic like a low budget Saturday morning cartoon, the animation in A Stitch in Time is smart and highly stylized. It's very attractive visually; it ended up appealing to me more then The Secret Files. Also, kids (I would guess maybe 6 or 7 to 14 or 15) are obviously the primary target audience, so the shorter running time can be more of an asset with them.Most significantly, however, the story and script are excellent. Writers Bill Motz and Bob Roth pack so much into the script, and Steve Loter directs the animators and voice actors to deliver such consistently high-energy, intelligent performances that the film doesn't feel short. Rather it has an epic feel, broad in scope, deep in content, and despite a plot line that could easily turn into a mess in the most capable hands (as has frequently been the case with similar subject matter in "adult" live action sci-fi/fantasy films), A Stitch in Time is always coherent and clever.This isn't just a film for kids, although they're sure to enjoy it. Motz, Roth and Loter have filled A Stitch in Time with countless jokes, jibes and references that you'd have to be not only an adult to catch, but a quick-witted adult. A Stitch in time is full of social satire, refreshing irreverence (including towards the Kim Possible characters themselves), wonderful surrealism and mind-bending time travel paradoxes. It is closer to The Simpsons or even Ren & Stimpy in its delightfully anarchic spirit (although with nothing inappropriate for young kids) than the much more standardly paced and plotted The Secret Files (which is still a good "film", but nowhere near the quality of this one).So leave any reservations in the dust and make sure you check out A Stitch in Time if you're a fan of animation, fantasy or sci-fi--even if, like me, you are older and have no children.

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.

The first Kim Possible movie, A Sitch in Time, is a fun movie for fans of the Disney series. The premise is that the partnership between Kim and Ron breaks up when Ron moves away. The villains featured in the movie are Dr Drakken, Shego, Monkeyfist, and Duff Killigan. They team up with the newly found ability of time travel to defeat Kim Possible during different periods of her life. In doing this they hope to take over the world. Kim is pulled in by a futuristic 'Rufus' who provides her with means of time traveling as well. All in all, the movie was entertaining and fun. There were a few annoying time fillers of pop songs that went on too long. It was entertaining, though, to see young versions of Kim, Ron, and the villians as well as older versions of most of the characters. The jokes were typical for the show and in that aspect they were appropriate. It keeps true to the series so it's great for any fans of Kim Possible.
