Originally the lone female member of a team of superheroes known as alongside her four brothers, Shego eventually makes a full conversion to villainy after ultimately growing attracted to the evil she once fought against (in addition to finding her brothers annoying). Smart, athletic, and attractive, Shego is essentially a 'dark reflection' of Kim, as well as the only character the heroine truly has reason to fear, although the two archrivals share a mutal respect for each other at the same time. Some episodes revolve around characters other than Kim and Ron, particularly villains, who have been provided with nearly as much as the heroes. Other significant include Kim's parents, and ( and, respectively), and her younger brothers, twin geniuses (, seasons 1–3;, season 4), to whom she refers as 'Tweebs' (a of 'twin' and 'dweebs'); the twins speak their own known as 'Twinnish'.

Production Conception and main characters Long-time collaborators and veteran Disney writers, and had already been writing for for several years, contributing to the network's male-led animated series, and, each one spin-offs of their respective feature-length animated films. Although they had enjoyed working on those projects, Schooley and McCorkle were becoming interested in contributing to 'something original'.
At the same time, the writers learned that Disney Channel had become interested in developing a show featuring ordinary children in extraordinary circumstances. Thus, the network commissioned Schooley and McCorkle to create an animated series geared towards the nine to 14 year-old that was also capable of entertaining older audiences at the same time. While traveling in an elevator on their way back to their office from their lunch break, McCorkle said to Schooley, 'Kim Possible. She can do anything', to which Schooley responded, 'Ron Stoppable, he can’t', and nearly the entire premise of Kim Possible naturally unfolded thereafter. According to Schooley and McCorkle, both lead characters' names indicate that Kim Possible 'is going to be an arched show that is a little bit over the top, but also that the girl is going to be the action lead and the guy is going to be funny.' Conceiving all main characters themselves, Rufus and Wade were eventually created and added to the roster, but the series essentially remains about Kim 'who is incredibly competent in the action world but challenged in the real world' while 'Ron would be challenged everywhere.'
With its main duo finally established, Kim Possible became the easiest show Schooley and McCorkle had ever developed. One of Disney Channel's earliest forays into developing an entirely original animated series 'from scratch', Kim Possible was born out of the creators' realization that there were few animated series starring at the time and created Kim as 'a character that.
Girls can look up to', inspired by their own young daughters. The creators were also influenced by their own childhood heroes and from, and wanted Kim to resemble a character their daughters could idolise similarly. Despite being a 'strong female role model', Schooley maintained that heroism 'doesn't help Kim a bit when she comes face-to-face with her latest school crush.' Unlike traditional superheroes, Kim is entirely devoid of both superpowers and a secret identity; the creators avoided making the character 'impervious' like most comic book superheroes tend to be because they wanted both her and Ron to remain relatable to younger viewers. Working completely independently from government spy organizations, Kim's crime-fighting abilities are drawn from real-life activities such as cheerleading and gymnastics, 'something that any kidin the world could do', according to the creators.
Voice of Kim Possible. Much of Kim Possible 's cast consists of Disney Channel and alumnae, as well as actors known for their roles on other popular animated and comedy series. The lead role of Kim was originally offered to, who declined in favor of appearing as on the Disney Channel teen sitcom. After auditioning several actresses to voice the title character, then-16 year-old was finally cast as Kim after first being introduced to Schooley and McCorkle by Disney Channel executives. Romano had already been well known to Disney Channel audiences for her portrayal of on the series, and began voicing Kim while completing her stint on the show. Her first voice acting role, Romano immediately identified with her character because both were 'dealing with teenage issues' at the same time, comparing Kim's challenge of battling both her personal life and villains to herself balancing schoolwork with her budding acting career; the actress was forced to forfeit her own senior prom due to Kim Possible commitments. Describing her character as 'very ambitious, very skilled, very smart,' Romano told 'I've tried to make her a good role model.
Her confidence and her sincerity really shine through.' One episode in particular, ', was inspired by Romano's modesty and tendency to at the slightest compliment. Romano's performance as Kim was nominated for an.
Recognized for his ability to play 'over-the-top characters', best remembered for his performance as on the sitcom, was cast as Ron. Actor had auditioned for the role, as did actor before he decided to pursue a professional wrestling career.
Schooley attributes much of the show's success to Romano and Friedle's chemistry, explaining, 'they add something to this that makes it more than a typical gag-oriented cartoon.' The role of Shego was created for, with whom Schooley and McCorkle had previously worked. To prepare herself for the role of Rufus, best known for her long-running voice work as on, researched naked mole rats extensively to the point of which she became 'a font of useless trivia' and knowledge.
Cartwright cites Rufus among her two most difficult characters to voice due to the constant use of her diaphragm required to produce 18 mole rat sound effects. Her performance earned her a nomination for. Was cast as Drakken based on his vocal performance as on the animated sitcom. The creators mused, 'Drakken is as funny as he is because of how funny John is. Like any of the great voiceover guys, he can do multiple voices. He also just has a terrific ', while director and animator described both Friedle and DiMaggio as 'experts in.' Schooley and McCorkle had previously worked with on Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and thus created the role of Shego with her in mind.

Sullivan's first recording session opposite DiMaggio established a chemistry between the two voice actors and their respective characters, out of which Shego's signature sarcasm was introduced and eventually expanded upon. During the show's inaugural season, the actors generally recorded separate from each other, but Friedle, DiMaggio and Sullivan experienced opportunities to record together during the second season. Having been attending high school in New York at the time, Romano would mostly work remotely and usually be 'phone patched in' whenever necessary; there is only one occasion during which the entire main cast recorded together. R&B singer recorded the show's theme song 'Call Me, Beep Me', which she also credits with benefiting her own career as a recording artist.
Written by musicians and, the show's theme song 'Call Me, Beep Me' (also known as 'Call Me, Beep Me! (The Kim Possible Song)' or simply 'The Kim Possible Song') is performed by American recording artist. Having already been working for Disney Channel at the time, appearing as a correspondent on the network's miniseries after declining an offer to appear on their variety show, Milian learned about Kim Possible from Disney when the studio called her in recruitment of an artist to record the new show's theme song. After meeting with the songwriters, who then proceeded to write the song, for the first time, Milian returned to the studio to record 'Call Me, Beep Me' one week later.
Romano also contributed vocals to the song. Described as a -influenced and track, 'Call Me, Beep Me' is heard during the show's opening, encouraging viewers and listeners to contact Kim for assistance should they ever find themselves in difficult situations, featuring the lyrics 'Danger or trouble, I'm there on the double.' The sounds of mobile devices and modern-day technology are incorporated throughout the song.
Although 'Call Me, Beep Me' begins 'I'm your basic, average girl' in reference to Kim, these lyrics are because there is little basic or average about its protagonist. A music video was released for 'Call Me, Beep Me', which features Milian and Romano recording the song in the recording studio interspersed with short scenes from the series. Theme song 'Call Me, Beep Me', written by and, and performed by recording artist. The song is a and number about Kim Possible's devotion to helping those in need. Problems playing this file? 'Call Me, Beep Me' became a hit, remaining at number one for 12 weeks.
The song's success ultimately benefited Milian's career as a performer; she explained, 'I never realized that show would give me so much exposure. It's great because people have grown with me, even with that damn song. Didn’t know so many people were watching Kim Possible like that. Because of that song, it actually inspired me to do my own musical animated artist because a lot of people thought I was Kim Possible.'
Milian has yet to perform the song live in concert but has expressed interest in recording a remix for fans. 'Call Me, Beep Me' was the first song Lerios and Gabriel wrote together, and the songwriting duo has since gone on to collaborate on both scoring and writing songs for several other major television networks and programs. Composer was responsible for scoring the entire series. While the music in Kim Possible is mostly guitar-driven, Berry's scoring experience prior to the show had been exclusively orchestral, composing scores using only a keyboard.
A guitarist since the age of six, Berry himself provided all the guitar and bass musical cues in Kim Possible. Although discussing whether or not featured in the series should be stylistically similar to the score, Disney decided to avoid limiting the show to then-current musical trends because, according to Berry, 'trying to be current is one of the best ways to sound dated.' While themes of are heard during the scene's fight sequences, guitar riffs of 'Call Me, Beep Me' are reprised throughout episodes. Lead singer made a guest appearance in the Season 2 episode ' in December 2003. The third season introduced several character-specific songs.
The title sequence was almost entirely updated with the premiere of the fourth season, though 'Call Me, Beep Me' remained unchanged.

Romano also recorded a new song entitled 'Say the Word' for the album. A combination of teen pop, and music, the soundtrack also features appearances by musical groups, (performing a cover of 's '), and, and Will Friedle and Nancy Cartwright's 'Naked Mole Rap', a rapped tribute to Ron's pet Rufus, ultimately concluding with a 'work-you-up remix' of the theme song by Tony Phillip. Aimed primarily at the show's young fan base, writer Heather Phares reviewed the album as 'a better than average.'
Style and themes Episodes typically adhere to a simple, similar format, featuring a power-hungry villain who Kim and Ron must somehow prevent from. Although primarily an series, Music in Television: Channels of Listening author James Deaville observed that Kim Possible adheres to the long-standing tradition of combining adventure with comedy in animated television.
According to, 'The show is fairly action-oriented, but also has a strong, light-hearted comedic atmosphere'. In addition to action, comedy and adventure, Kim Possible 's storylines also explore elements of and. According to The Artifice, the show's unique brand of humor distinguishes itself from the style associated with most of Disney Channel's sitcoms, namely and That's so Raven, although Ron can be considered a slapstick character. With a tendency to not take itself seriously, Kim Possible both parodies and pays homage to the, action hero, and genres, its comedy benefiting from the show's emphasis on 'over-the-top plots' and circumstances; Shego's own family of superheroes, Team Go, is a deliberate parody of the superhero team the.
In its humor that avoids talking down to its viewers, the series also parodies the genre, teenage fads and trends in general, and sometimes even makes fun of its own and oversights, while occasionally adopting common cartoon and sitcom. In addition to other 'mainstays' of modern-day, technology serves an important role in the series, specifically the and Kim's gadgets, the most significant of which is a cell phone-like device known as a Kimmunicator, designed to help Kim communicate with Wade and allow her access to virtually any information she desires. McCorkle elaborated on the show's emphasis on technology: 'Using the Internet theme in the series became an easy launching pad partially because it is such a major part of the fabric of teen life and the interactive possibilities are endless. It's as though we get to play James Bond's ' for each episode - the more imaginative the toy, the better.' Particularly desirable to younger viewers, technology allows Kim to travel around the world effortlessly and to some extent mirrors children's ability to speak to anyone anywhere in the world via the Internet. Kim's ability to travel virtually anywhere around the world within a short period of time is left largely unexplained; referred to Wade as an 'example that sitting in front of your computer all day is actually the most powerful position to be in.'
The fact that Wade never leaves his bedroom could potentially indicate that he suffers from. Kim is raised in a.

Unlike popular animated sitcoms such as The Simpsons and, both of Kim's parents are intelligent, accomplished and attractive; Kim's own intelligence is often attributed to the fact that she is born to a rocket scientist father and neurosurgeon mother. Kim's inherent confidence is a Possible; her father James, who views women as equals, proudly reiterates the phrase 'Nothing is impossible for a Possible' on numerous occasions. In her younger years, Kim's grandmother fought crime much like Kim herself. Kim Possible approaches the subject of the via Kim and Ron's relationship, discussing male-female friendship in a manner reminiscent to that of the romantic comedy (1989). According to Sarah Freymiller of Bustle, the protagonists friendship evokes that of and the, 'Kim holds the functional and social power, while Ron exerts more of a calming, occasionally slapstick influence on the show. He is the intelligent, kind chaos in her highly-organized life.'
Kim and Ron are solely for the show's first three seasons and remain best friends even after they start dating in Season 4, defying the popular belief that 'being romantically involved is worth more than being in a friendship.' The series avoids the popular ' trope often used in television shows, keeping them as a couple for the remainder of the series. Having grown up together and learned from each other's mistakes, Kim and Ron ultimately make up for each other's shortcomings.
According to Feminist Fairytales, 'Ron has a very relaxed attitude towards life which often provides a balance to Kim's assertive nature and perfectionism, while Kim helps Ron become much more independent and self-reliant.' Freymiller also believes Ron might have been conceived because 'the creators sensed that television would only be able to accept a strong female character if she had a male counterpart,' eliminating fears Kim might be perceived as too bitchy, complementing her actions as opposed to dominating. Hosting a diverse cast of while confronting and, Kim Possible explores themes, specifically. Alongside several other animated series that premiered throughout the decade, which had been experiencing a steady influx in media starring 'Teenage Action Chicks with special powers', Kim Possible is considered to be an example of both and. Similar to the animated shows, and, Kim Possible revolves around an attractive, intelligent, and strong female character whose public identity is meant to indicate that she should be received as a positive role models for young girls.
According to Betsy Wallace of Common Sense Media, Kim Possible 'capitalizes on the female villain-fighting craze that sparked with and ', albeit simplifying the genre for a younger generation. Agreeing that the series adopted the then-new 'crime-fighting female' formula, Tracey McLoone of admitted that Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alias and The Powerpuff Girls comparisons are inevitable, but at the same time observed that Kim is more confident than her predecessors, incorporating cheerleading and acrobatics into her fights against enemies, while using traditionally 'girly' accessories such as lip gloss and makeup to her advantage in battle. In comparison to Buffy, Kim also approaches her complicated lifestyle more joyfully. Meanwhile, Nicole Rogers of the believes that Kim resembles what of Alias would be like had she been depicted as an animated high school student. According to 's Monique Steele, Kim Possible is 'all about how girls kick butt'; Kim constantly rescues Ron, saving him from peril on numerous occasions throughout the series. Writing for Wewomen.com, Carla Cain Walther observed that the series 'scoffed at the ' used in action films' by having Kim save Ron 'using her ingenuity and strength', reinforcing the idea that girls are capable of helping themselves. Identifying Kim as a heroine because she is intelligent in addition to being 'shaped like ' and having a male assistant similar to female executives, ' Julie Salamon joked that 'Kim's job seems to be making the world safe for cheerleaders again, following the path forged by in on behalf of.'
Tor.com's Sarah Gailey observed that while Shego proudly spends much of her time lounging poolside and deciding what she does and does not want to do, Kim is forced 'to leap into action regardless of whether she's tired or sad or sick or, heaven forbid, too busy'. 's Sarah Freymiller wrote that 'Kim offers a model for femininity that both bolsters and works against the typical 'high school cheerleader' stereotype', citing cheerleading as an outlet the character chooses willingly.
Kim is not a; Julia Pugachevsky of credits the series with 'showing that you could be traditionally feminine and strong at the same time.' Conversely, Geek Chic: Smart Women in Popular Culture author S. Inness argued that Kim Possible reinforces that 'girls can do anything they choose' but must look a certain way in order to do so since its female character participate in and normative femininity that its male characters do not, such as shopping and spending much time on their appearance. Inness also felt that show's feminist potential is compromised by the fact that Kim mostly surrounds herself with male companions as opposed to female, 'contradicting the messages of female '.

Writing for, Julie Salamon also enjoyed Rufus' role, penning, 'I probably would have liked Kim Impossible even if one of its lead characters hadn't been a naked mole rat.

In his book, television historian appreciated the series for having 'a marvelous.'
