Kim Possible is an American animated action comedy television series created for Disney Channel. It centers around Kim Possible, a confident and talented high school girl who regularly saves the world from various villains while managing typical teenage challenges like school, friends, and family. Kim works with her clumsy best friend Ron Stoppable, his pet naked mole rat Rufus, and a young computer genius Wade. The show creatively blends action, adventure, comedy, and drama, and parodies spy and superhero genres. It originally aired from 2002 to 2007, comprising four seasons and 87 episodes. Kim is unique in that she has no superpowers or secret identity but is widely famous for her heroics. The catchphrase "Kim Possible" is a play on the phrase "impossible," highlighting her can-do attitude.
The series features Kim balancing her life as a crime-fighter and a high school student, dealing with issues like dating, schoolwork, and social pressures. She receives help remotely from Wade, while on missions she often confronts Dr. Drakken, a mad scientist, and his powerful sidekick Shego. The show was praised for its strong female lead character, appealing to both boys and girls, and for its fast-paced humor.
There was also a live-action TV movie adaptation released in 2019, portraying Kim and Ron as high school freshmen. The animated series remains popular and available for streaming on platforms like Disney+.
