Approved and edited by BuzzFeed Community Team Pick a character from Team Possible Kim Ron Rufus Wade Via Disney Advertisement Pick your favorite enemy Dr. Drakken Shego Seor Senior,. At the end, the four actors performed a brand new Kim Possible scene written by McCorkle and Schooley and directed by original Kim voice director Lisa Schaffer. [36] Cartoonist Stephen Silver served as a character animator on the show. Kim Possible is an American animated action comedy - adventure [1] [2] [3] [4] television series created by Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle for Disney Channel. "[10] A super suit designed for the character was introduced in early Season 4 but quickly abandoned once the writers realized that the costume would detract from the character's established "she can do anything" reputation. [26] When the show was surprisingly renewed for a fourth season by popular demand,[27] Schooley and McCorkle realized that pursuing Kim and Ron's relationship provided the series with "new story ideas" and "opportunities for comedy",[25] and ultimately learned to appreciate the characters' "new dynamic. [20] Because Kim is too young to legally drive for most of the series, she relies on favors from friends typically people she has rescued for transportation. Because it is such a beloved childhood show, the nostalgia value is high. [42], Serving as executive producers in addition to writers throughout the entire series, Schooley and McCorkle oversaw the show for its entire duration to maintain consistency. [17] Kim's father James "views women as equals", and thus has a good relationship with Kim although he struggles to come to terms with the reality that she is growing up and dating. A stop-motion version of Kim appeared in an episode of Robot Chicken where she is trapped by Kim Jong-un while trying to stop North Korean nuclear launch codes, and they both mock their names by making puns out of them. [18][26] Additionally, Kim finally gets her own car,[26] which she inherits from her father, while her younger brothers Jim and Tim begin enrollment at Middleton High School, having skipped several grades due to their genius-level intellect, much to Kim's chagrin. Plausible it may not be, but popular it surely is. [67][68], Kim's unconventional relationship with her inept, unpopular best friend Ron ultimately unveils the best in both characters. ; T mean atypically healthy for a teenager Smart voices Kim 's parents, Drs voices Kim 's grandmother Nana. `` Rufus ''.
