Dr. Drakken has an evil new plot for world domination, but his ultimate success depends upon finding out KP's weakness which may involve a new hottie at Middleton High School named Eric, who suddenly sparks feelings in Ron about Kim that resemble much more than friendship. To make matters worse, Bueno Nacho, Ron's favorite fast food chain has turned sour on him by bombarding him with little Devil diablo toys. Does this mean KP may finally have to surrender to Drakken once and for all? Kim's heart is quickly captured by the new boy, Eric, who soon becomes her boyfriend. Unknown to Kim, her best friend and sidekick, Ron has developed stronger feelings toward her. I admit that probably the only reason I'm giving this such a high rating is because Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable are one of my favorite cartoon couples of all time! A pity they've been surpassed by Star and Marco and I'll certainly be glad when those two hook up as well. The funniest part is probably when it shows a sticker that says, "No on 65". This is a reference to Disney's rule about their animated shows having no more than 65 episodes. Turns out they defied this and "Kim Possible" did in fact have another season. It's great to watch a movie based on a show that I'm a fan of.<br/><br/>Ron loses his pants three times in his movie! Well, he seemed to bring it on himself the first time around. The action scenes are great and it's great to see these characters work off of each other. The best are of course Dr. Drakken and Shego. I admit that the romance was rushed at the end, but because I love this couple (and romance in general) so much, I had to say it was great. I have high hopes for Star and Marco! ***1/2 After three great and funny seasons on Disney Channel, Kim Possible was one of the best shows on television. This movie, intended to be the series finale, is a fantastic entry and great way to close the arc on Kim Possible, well before season 4 came along. This has some of the best writing, because the humor, drama, and action are very well scripted.<br/><br/>The broad "take over the world" plot is actually very clever. Drakken doesn't gloat or even tell Shego (who is more bad-ass and violent in this film) about it, so "if you can't figure it out, she can't figure it out." It turns out being happy meal-esque toys turning into giant robots with stolen tech from Kim's father. Believe me, it's very smart and clever. However, the strongest writing involves a look into Kim and Ron's feelings for one another. Kim is afraid because she'll have to go to Junior Prom with Ron. She's fine with it but she feels she has to go with a perfect boy, something Ron has always not been. Then a guy named Eric comes to school and she thinks he's the perfect one to go with, sort of leaving Ron in the dust, until the final 20 minutes of the film.<br/><br/>Ron struggles whether or not to tell Kim that he's always had feelings for her, fearing it would ruin their friendship. As i mentioned before, Kim isn't against the idea of going with Ron, she just wants to fit in with the other girls and take a hot guy to the prom. When Ron does admit his feelings and Kim realizes it, it's very touching and sweet. And when they finally kiss at the end of the film, it is the defining moment of the series, and a great way to show that what a person (girls and boys) is looking for can be where they least expect it.<br/><br/>The action never takes a back seat, and this film has some of the best action of the whole series. The battle scenes between Kim and Shego, as well as Ron and Eric can actually get pretty violent, and very tense, which rarely happened during the regular series.<br/><br/>The animation is top notch as usual. I love the fact that the opening credits are very much like Maurice Binder's Bond openings, it's pretty cool. The designs look a bit more refined, and a little different from the show. In fact, everything looks great, even the angles, and the backgrounds. Stephen Silver and the animators deliver the final great look of the series. Adam Berry's score is perfect, and the song "Could it Be" is a very good song for the final scene of the film.<br/><br/>Show creators Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley's script is absolutely perfect for this film, and the writing would not match this ever again during season 4. There are some things that could have been better like Eric's reveal as a villain, yeah the twist is not very effective when it happens, but it's passable and gets an emotional response. Some jokes don't work, but most of them do and they are very funny.<br/><br/>Like I mentioned in my review for the whole series (you can find it in my profile) this is great fun and one of the best Disney has ever put out. Was it the series finale, no because of season 4. but If there was no season 4, it would be a great way to end it all.
