Kim Possible

Kim Possible has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 279 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Sadie Stanley sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Kim Possible is worth clearing space for. Kim Possible gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Everyday teen hero Kim Possible and her best friend Ron Stoppable embark on their freshman year of high school, all while saving the world from evil villains. While Kim and Ron have always been one step ahead of their opponents, navigating the social hierarchy of high school is more challenging than the action-hero ever imagined. With Drakken and Shego lurking in the wings, Kim must rely on her family and Team Possible—Ron, tech-genius Wade, new friend Athena, and Rufus, a Naked mole-rat. Sadie Stanley and Sean Giambrone lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2019. What keeps Kim Possible from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Kim Possible respects your intelligence. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Sadie Stanley sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
