Kim Possible: So The Drama Movie

Reviewed: 12/01/2012

Note Serious Movie Face!

Welcome kiddies to the final part of our Fall Assortment as this is the "series" finale of Kim Possible released on DVD and in 2005 on the Disney Channel. Or so it should have been; until the fans got all snippy about it and demanded more episodes. Now I'm not going to talk about that little saga until the Review Line because that deserves a fisking in itself; and it would take away from this television movie. If Plunder and Lightning is the best pilot television movie ever made in cartoon history; then So The Drama should be the greatest series finale television movie in cartoon history. This features it all: Satan like robots! Kim Possible finally having a major weakness! Drakken and Shego actually succeeding! Ron getting his revenge on Drakken! The most awesome and scary end to a female character in history! And Kim finding out that drama is a good thing. I have seen most of this and I loved it back in the day. I should point out that this rant will cover the DVD version of the episode so it's considered the "Top Secret Extended Edition" which contains two deleted scenes and Gorilla Fist. Does it live up to what I saw back then? Let's rant on shall we?!

So The Drama is written and story edited by Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley. The animation is done by Rough Draft Studios with CGI done by Walt Disney Television Animation Digital Productions. Well; that was easy.

Opening Moment #1: CGI Disney Logo is used here; but no official opening since this is considered a movie. Made for television. If only Plunder and Lightning had such an epic opening. Suggestion: Setup the preparations for the raid and have Kit Cloudkicker in shadow going through the various pipes. I know; 22 years too late and all.

We begin this one with a shot of a ninja beating a big ass drum on a float as we are in Tokyo, Japan and having a Nakasumi toy parade with lots of rainbow confetti. Yoshiko and old man Nakasumi are on the main float which contains the weird smiling face mascot balloons. Basically; this is Macey's Thanksgiving Parade in Japanese. So we pan up to the skies AFTER HAPPY HOUR (after dark) as we see a green/black fighter jet flying in and being piloted by Shego of course. As if the color scheme didn't already give this away. That is not up to USA air force regulations! So we dive bomb down as Shego flips some switches which are helpfully labeled smoke bomb missiles and we smoke the ground with green/brown smoke. Nakasumi grunts which is actually the first time Nakasumi has spoke. More on him in a moment as we see various ninjas (I'm suspecting that they are Drakken's embarrassment ninjas from Blush) on the edges of the buildings as Shego in the plane is on the transmitter stating that the target is Nakasumi-san. Memo to critics who hate American speakers trying to be Japanese: It is not racist to merely say Japanese words; it's only racist when you show complete disdain for them. So the not so embarrassment ninjas (because they aren't pulling pranks anymore) jump down in front of Nakasumi and Yoshiko; and naturally Kim Possible bust out of the conveniently placed air balloon which was behind them. She kicks the ninjas in the face and chest; which both shots actually make CONTACT. Nice one guys. Somehow she managed to kick all three ninjas down despite only seeing two getting kicked. Logic break #1 for the movie less than a minute in. One of the ninjas proclaims that this is impossible; and Kim claims that it is close to impossible as she combs her hair with her hand and jumps down. The ninjas bring out the flame ninja katanas of burning doom as Kim does some fighting and it seems that her shots are getting looser with every second elapsed. She is surrounded by three ninjas with flaming swords (Theodore Beals wet dream coming true!) as she calls for Ron as he is in one of the balloons and he cannot punch his way out of a paper bag; literally.

Ron finally gets through after about a half a dozen punches and thanks Nakasumi for no real reason that I can think of; other than for giving him awesome toys. Oh; and then we see the SUMO NINJA OF DEATH~! Jesus; Professor Villanova must have gained 150 pounds and Kevin Michael Richardson's voice since being arrested in Transmission Impossible. Man; prison really caused untold amounts of pain and suffering on him. This only serves to make me hate the Quack Pack nephews even more now. Villinova proclaims himself strong as mountain as Ron goes in between the legs and blows it off for being sick and wrong. The sumo ninja; or you going through sumo ninja's legs Ron? Because the former is downright laughable and the second one is even MORE so. So Ron gets the BEAR HUG OF DEATH as I see Villanova is still not doing any ninja moves while being a ninja. Ron yells for Rufus and Rufus yawns and comes out of his pocket. He steps on Ron's head and does some ninja motion before biting sumo in the nose. Yeah. Sumo sells it and Ron is released as the rat and the monkey have a bonding moment. Awww. Sumo however; is pissed now. Ron bails off the float calling for Kim as Kim whacks the ninjas away and then collides with Ron and they flop to the ground. Kim is about to blow Ron off as Sumo Ninja jumps off and does the only wrestling finisher known to fatasses: the big splash of death. However; Kim backflips out and Sumo splats on what I thought was concrete; but appears to be the front of the float; thus it's particle board. Kim and Ron land on top of his back as Kim points out her cheer leading skills and Ron gives the sumo ninja a wedgie. Yes; you are reading that right folks. And Villanova's voice is about three steps higher than most wrestler taking a kick in the groin. Ron tells him to put some ice on that one as Shego Force 1 flies back and Shego pushes a red button to reveal a grappling hook gun underneath. She shoots it and it grabs Nakasumi and hoists him into the sky. So Kim brings out the rocket pack skates and rockets off sumo ninja and almost catching him on fire in the process.

So Kim struggles and manages to grab a hold on Nakasumi's pant leg as Ron states that he'll back her up. He pushes the button on his wrist watch and there is nothing...AND THE ROCK SEZS NOTHING! Ron proclaims that he forget to put on the rocket skates and then he smokes and rumbles around as he realized that he put on his rocket underwear. He pops out of his pants and fires upward; spiraling out of control as usual. HAHA! So we continue with Kim holding onto Nakasumi with Shego noticing Kim and tries to spiral Kim off; but no go. Kim hangs on as the FOUR BEEPS OF DOOM beckon nearly three minutes in. Wade is calling her as Kim states that Nakasumi knew he was in danger and he was right. So Wade locks on the GPS and we play "Try To Splat Kim Possible" including the dreaded U-TURN OF DEATH. So we dodge denizens and slide on the ground as Wade informs Kim that Monique was on the transmitter and it wasn't important (and certainly not when Kim bounced into a Japanese person during the conversation) since it was only Bonnie and Brick Flagg. Kim is shocked and appalled as Wade patches into Monique's bedroom and Monique doesn't seem to mind. Kim asks if it's off or on and Monique claims that it's on. I'm guessing that teenage talk for "Brick and Bonnie are dating again". And why should Kim care since she was supposed to be in love with Josh Mankey? Then again; I'm basically into the third season of this show and barely scratched the surface, so I'm going to give the writers the benefit of the doubt here. Monique proclaims that Bonnie loves drama and Kim claims that it's only an excuse to get a date for the prom. Kim then notices that this is bad and Monique knows. Problem is; Kim points the communicator right at the building where Nakasumi head office is located (the logo gives it away) and she has to cut this conversation short as she skids onto the neon sign.

Okay; here's a logic break: Just before we see the side shots of Kim skating off the sign; she appears to be heading for the yellow portion of the sign which contains the logo. So logically; she should be skating on the yellow portion and the logo. But when we go to the actual scene; she's skating on the purple/blue outline of the sign which is 10 feet BELOW the actual sign. Logic break #2 for the movie over four minutes in. And yes; the sign explodes although with some float balloons. What moron fills their balloons with hydrogen on a parade? So we have the ninjas with flaming sword just up to slay Kim; but Ron conveniently rockets in and collides with the ninjas. Ron spirals out of control (Welcome to HIS life! As Shego would say..) and the ninjas fall and squash sumo ninja on the float. Kim thanks Ron; but Ron is still screaming with green boxers with yellow spots. And white socks as the rocket pack is dying on him and he spirals right onto Shego and splats like a freakin bug on my windshield (God bless Kenny Blankenship! The one from MXC; not the mock name I gave for the former president of Sony.) . Shego mocks Ron as she flies upside down and Ron loses his grip and does rolls towards Nakasumi; which Ron somehow misses and grabs onto Kim's legs. Then the grappling hook manages to lose it's grip and everyone free falls. Nice touch from Ron to apologize just before the grip dies on them too. So we get Ron grabbing onto Kim as Nakasumi free falls. We are into Kit Cloudkicker/TaleSpin territory here in terms of peril and danger. Kim using the grappling hook gun and nails a blue light which sparks. Kim swings into town level as Shego flies in and invokes the PINCHER OF DOOM and pinches Nakasumi and rips off his coat. I'm guessing BS&P found ripping off his pants was too gross even for them. Sad; that would have been a nice ironic echo moment for Ron. Kim pushes up as Shego rams into some air balloon floats including a dog. HAHA! I just knew the writers were secretly booking Nakasumi Toys as a parody/homage to Nintendo. Shego manages to go through and then fly into the sky out of sight.

So finally; Kim swings down and all three babyfaces land on the float where Yoshiko was which she did absolutely nothing. Kim puts the grappling hook away and everyone pops as I just realized that both crowd shots are the exact same animation and design; only the second shot is reversed. Ron yells his boo yah catchphrase as we head into the skies with Shego Force Zero as Shego's plan is sputtering now and Shego proclaims that they need to really take that hairdryer from her. So we get another sky shot of the Nakasumi float as everyone is cheering on Kim Possible and we hit the remixed musical opening of "Call Me, Beep Me" almost six minutes in. Think 007 style music and stylish 007 shots and you'll get the picture. A few notes; the shots are from various spots in certain episodes (which I probably never ranted on yet.) and Monique's voice actress is listed as just Raven. It ends with a purple Ron and cheese Kim Possible posing against a black background with Steve Loter as the director. DTVA credits: The Legend of Tarzan, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (his DTVA debut), Clerks: The Animated Series, American Dragon Jake Long and Brandy & Mr. Whiskers. Non Disney credits: Penguins of Madagascar as his most recent credit, The Baby Huey Show (his career debut), Ren & Stimpy 1995 edition, Duckman, The Wild Thornberrys, Rocket Power, The Rugrats Movie, Dance-A-Lot-Robot, Stressed Eric and Happy Monster Band. That's about it actually. So we head to a closeup shot of a cloud obscuring the Nakasumi logo and then zoom out to see Nakasumi's jet flying above the clouds as the FOUR BEEPS OF DOOM ensue after three minutes of beep free action. So we head inside the plane as Kim is at a seat with the table full of boxes and Wade Load on the communicator. So Wade is still baffled by this entire plan to kidnap Nakasumi; but Kim is more baffled by the Geometry homework. Wade asks if he can help and Kim decides to refuse because that would be cheating; so she'll ask Ron instead.

Who is not in the backseat as there are two Japanese guys doing calculations on their computers. Yeah; it's the old "Japanese are smart" stereotype that we got tired of years ago and we discover that they are doing Ron's homework. I always wondered how Ron keeps up with work nowadays. Kim asks where Ron is and they tell her that he's in the back of the plane. So Kim opens the door and notices Nakasumi and Yoshiko looking sharp at Kim as this is his office on the plane. HA! Kim smiles like an idiot; but Nakasumi whispers into Yoshiko's ear and this time; you can clearly hear his words. I did say that he speaks at one point so... Nakasumi is voiced by Clyde Kusatsu and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Kusatsu was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he attended ʻIolani School. Kusatsu began acting in Honolulu summer stock, and after studying theatre at Northwestern University, started to make his mark on the small screen in the mid-1970s. Usually mustachioed, with a dapper, professional air, he has most often played doctors, but his repertoire has included a generous sampling of teachers (usually college professors), businessmen, detectives, church ministers and other intelligent, middle-class types. With his quiet, wry line delivery, Kusatsu made a memorably clever and hilarious sparring partner for Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) on several episodes of All in the Family as the Reverend Chong, refusing to baptize Archie's grandson without the permission of the boy's parents. During this period Kusatsu also worked with the Asian American theatre group East West Players in Los Angeles. Kusatsu was subsequently a regular on several series, but neither the adventure Bring 'Em Back Alive (1982–83) nor the Hawaiian-set medical drama Island Son (1989–90) (in which he played one of Richard Chamberlain's colleagues) lasted very long.

His many television movies have included the film adaptation of Farewell to Manzanar (1976), about Japanese American internment during World War II. (Kusatsu also guest-starred on an episode of Lou Grant on Japanese internment in the U.S.); Other M.O.W.s and mini-series have been "And The Sea Will Tell", and "American Tragedy" playing Judge Lance Ito. He had a memorable role in the "Baa Baa Black Sheep" episode "Prisoners of War" as a downed Japanese fighter pilot in the Pacific (1976); Golden Land (1988), a Hollywood-set drama based on a William Faulkner story; and the AIDS drama And the Band Played On (1993). Kustatsu also made several guest appearances on Star Trek: The Next Generation as Starfleet Vice Admiral Nakamura, appeared in four M*A*S*H episodes and later starred in the short-lived A.B.C. series All American Girl (1994–1995), the first Asian American family sitcom in the U.S. Feature roles, beginning with Midway (1976), have generally been small, but in the 1990s Kusatsu had roles in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993, as a history teacher) and In the Line of Fire (1993, as a Secret Service agent). He appeared as a high school English teacher in American Pie (1999). Other recent films have been "ShopGirl" as Mr. Agasa, and in Sydney Pollack's The Interpreter (2005) as Lee Wu, head of security for the United Nations Headquarters. He currently plays the recurring role of Dr. Dennis Okamura on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. Kusatsu starred in Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) as Mr. Lee. He started as a cameo in Ironside, Airport 1975, Mannix and Ying's Son in Kung Fu in 1973/1974. Gargoyles is his DTVA debut as Kai and Dr. Arnada, and he was on Mickey's Mouseworks, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command as Warden Yung, Recess as Mr. Yamashiro, House of Mouse and Lilo & Stitch The Series. Any Day New, The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra, New Girl, The Young & The Restless, and Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc. are his most recent credits. He has 243 acting credits, and one self credit (Why Am I Doing This? I don't know.) to his resume.

They both thank Kim and bow to her as Kim calls it no big (deal). She asks about Ron and we zoom out to see Ron yelling at Rufus while holding a remote control. Ron is complaining about Rufus cheating him on his right to steer an aqua blue car as Rufus is driving it wearing a brown cap and a white scarf with black glasses. HAHA! So Rufus drives around the legs of everyone as he nearly makes Nakasumi lose his balance; forcing Kim and Yoshiko to prop him up. Kim yells at Ron to stop this nonsense; so Ron (after making a perverse comment about a "naked driver") pushes a red button on the remote device and Rufus is REJECTED! Rufus flops onto a shelf knocking into various object which somehow; don't fall off the shelf, let alone break. Nakasumi whispers into Yoshiko's ear and Yoshiko calls Ron childish and filled with joy as Ron plays with the toy car some more circling it around him over and over again. Ron notices the pictures of various drawings on the wall and asks if Nakasumi drew these and Yoshiko sezs yes. Ron then states that all he has to do is put a face on it and the kids go ga-ga over it. That's basically how it works Ron. And then Nakasumi speaks for real as he doesn't want shareholders to notice because they will take away his jet. Ron stammers like a goofball as he realizes that Nakasumi just has a fetish for whispering into Yoshiko's ear like Gibber from TaleSpin. I just don't find it all that whacky; and it's not nearly as funny when Gibber does it because Don Karnage is much funnier than Nakasumi-san. So the two Japanese guys working on Ron's homework come in and thank Ron for saving Nakasumi and Ron gets all cute that even Kim is flustered. They talk about getting clearance to Middleton airport; but Kim wants to be dropped off right here, right now before Ron gets into "racist" levels of stereotyping.

So we head outside as Ron and Kim free fall with helmets and parachutes. And so does Rufus to a lesser extent. I'll accept the BS&P helmets here because they do have parachutes and thus makes sense at least. At least it's not like American Dragon Jake Long and his magical BS&P helmet. So Rufus pulls the cord and Ron's parachute opens causing all his homework to fly away. HAHA! Ron panics as Kim mocks him for trying to use stereotypical Japanese guys to do his homework and that is that as we head to Kim's house and to the kitchen as James is using a Blackberry device (Remember those puppies?) as he dips the pen into his coffee; licks the stick and then starts touching the screen. Oooookkkkaaayyyy. Ann (looking more and more like Daffney from Scooby Doo every time I see her now) walks in putting on her white doctor coat. Ann pours coffee from the coffee pot as she has three brain operations to do before noon and James is on the heptosis (?sp) project and he of course almost deletes the file in the process. He manages to undo it in time though. The Tweebs are in their room doing a top secret project as we have James wondering where Kim is as the shot shows a window and Kim lands in the lawn in the background. Kim takes off her parachute and helmet off screen and opens the door and walks in. James and Ann want answers to her disappearance as Kim goes to the kitchen cabinet and turns on the portable gray television set which is conveniently placed. We see a blond haired female reporter (April Winchell) reporting on the Nakasumi incident in Tokyo and James instantly praises her. Kim is having milk in a bowl because I don't see any cereal being poured as she call it no big (deal); except for the sumo ninja. He was pretty big as James is relieved that he didn't have to deal with them. So then we hear rumbling and here comes a gray rocket as it zooms around; Kim dodges it easily and then MURDERS it with the frying pan. Then a second rocket comes in and Kim MURDERS that one too. Kim yells at the Tweebs and sure enough; in they come all smug and stuff; but no one else is amused. HA!

Jim and Tim notice their rockets destroyed and they groan right on cue. Kim asks them why they don't play video games like normal kids. The Tweebs claim that they do play games and use them for spare parts. Ann orders no more missiles in the house as the Tweebs groan on cue; pick up their toys and walk out. Kim then gets one of the funniest cases of psychological projection I have ever heard in DTVA: This is what happens when a brain surgeon and a rocket scientist reproduce. Kim should get the Bryan Fischer award for THAT one; only this show is a work of fiction that the creator don't pretend otherwise; so she's out of the running. So we head to the snowy forest of doom and a sign with the top of it partially covered with snow and it reads Secret Lair. So we see Shego Force Zero fly into a icy mountain which has a circular steel door opening and she goes inside and lands on the launchpad which takes her down to ground level as we see the Crimson Chin rejects walking on the catwalk. We also see giant ass computers in the background worked on by green suit, green pants guys. Shego hops out as a bald man with a black goatee and purple shaded glasses greets Shego and asks for the prisoner. Shego throws the black cape over him and tells him to go tap himself. HAHA! Good crap there madam as she falls through a circular steel trap door and falls into a dark room filled with Crimson Chin rejects wearing yellow shaded glasses. Then a sinister voice which is clearly Drakken who hasn't figured out how to use the voice distortion device properly proclaims that Shego has failed for the last time; which is funny considering that this is the only time I have seen her actually fail a mission by herself. Shego basically squashes the Syntho Drones (as she calls them by number) as she proclaims that she doesn't fight fair. She uses the neon punch of doom and that punctures a hole and spills out lime green blood like plasma. Only one of them manages to grab Shego in the entire fight and then the drones stop on a dime...

...and out pops Drakken from the floor through another circular steel trap door blowing off Shego for killing #842 as he treats it like a human being. HAHA! Shego blows off his "You have failed me for the last time" bullcrap as Drakken states that he's SERIOUS and it's time to go to the next level. I guess we have moved past "death by belly button" now haven't we? So Shego calls for a mop and there is a worker who magically come out and wipes the blood off the floor. A little too late to be pleasing BS&P there Shego. Drakken and Shego walk down a hallway with lime green glass windows as we see various project going on. Mr. Henderson gets murdered by an octopus (Drakken addresses him as such); an green laser beam gun goes haywire and blasts through the glass; a drone getting tortured with Mexican puppets (ah; the old "racist torture device", how heelish of Drakken) and all this time Drakken is asking Shego if he's evil and Shego claims that he is evil, builds machines like no one else and is out of his mind as we see two of his servants (the ones who wear the green outfits) in a teenage girl's bedroom acting like stereotypical teenage girls. You know the world is so screwed up when it's DRAKKEN who has no problem with reinforcing rigid gender roles by having his men break their rigid gender roles. It's known as Teenage Wasteland and he is trying to get to Kim's fatal flaw. In other words; try to murder the Mary Sue out of her. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Drakken pushes a button and addresses on the intercom Stevens and he sounds like Professor Uptoium from Power Puff Girls as he's the one who is on the bed all giddy and he also sezs the catchphrases that Milo would later steal in Fish Hooks; only Corey Baxter is much more better than he is. Then the doctor whom I discovered that the thing Shego threw over his head is Nakasumi's black suit; walks in and talks about the brain tap not being used enough as Drakken rips Nakasumi's suit and there is a picture of a robot drawing that looks a lot like a mini version of Satan. (Cue ominous music!)

Shego wants to know what it is and Drakken puts it in his coat and sezs that it's nothing of note. So Shego steps on him and grabs the paper as Drakken whines on cue and then Shego mocks this first step to world conquest because it's a satanic looking doodle. I know this because she calls Drakken whacked out. Drakken gets all hip and edgy on us and Shego blows it off as Drakken sezs word to your mother which is probably the first time Drakken has annoyed me. You are not Kim Possible Drakken; get over yourself. So we head to the gym as Kim is in cheer leading gear leading the Mad Dog's mascot in the triangle ladder spot; which a cellphone rings. Bonnie runs over and answers it causing the girls to tumble to the ground in a heap. Kim goes over and blows off Bonnie for doing that on purpose. Bonnie tells Kim to zero her ego and we discover that it's Brick Flagg on the phone. So we get some thrilling conversation as she tells Brick to not shower because he gleans that way. Kim blows her off for being sick; so Bonnie blows her off for not having a boyfriend because she's "saving the world". Yes; she put it in scare quotes and even Kim calls her out on it. So Bonnie goes on about various cheer leading girls all taking boys out which are from sports which shows how rigid this show can be. Kim asks about some deadline and Bonnie states that it's the prom which Kim calls just another dance. I agree with her; I never went to the prom at any point in his school life. Didn't care about it; graduation is more important and it kept me out of trouble. Bonnie mocks Kim because the prom is so super important. Anytime Bonnie is involved; disregard about 65% of her "facts". See; I can use scare quotes too Bonnie. And in comes Ron just in time for Bonnie to mock Kim once again. Kim is shocked and appalled in that order as Ron wants to go to Bueno Nacho; which believe it or not, does actually serve a huge purpose in this movie instead of being just another hangout. More on that later.

So we head to Bueno Nacho as we see Kim dressed in a green shirt with red neck trim and Monique is dressed all in green; even down to her green earrings. They exchange notes on boyfriends and Bonnie in general. Kim is worried that her roughhousing villains and saving the world is weirding boys out to her. So; I'm guessing Josh Mankey has rejected her finally; which is weird since he was the only one who wasn't so...rigid. Monique calls Kim a strong, independent woman. You're speaking from experience I see, Raven. Kim isn't so sure about dating "just a friend" and Monique adds naked mole rat to that. We see Ron at the counter as he has his order of Nacos (anyone who has seen the episodes in order knows that Ron created Nacos which is a combo of Nachos and Tacos. My kind of Mexican revolution!) with extra cheese. He pretty much eats like Ash Ketchum in the Pokemon dubs by the way. A brown haired goof with glasses, green tie and orange shirt tells him that it comes to $7.52 which is really reasonable these days for that kind of order methinks. And if you didn't seen Bueno Nacho; which is the episode which debut the eatery; the clerk is addressed as Ned. Ned is voiced by Eddie Deezen ( I realize that he voiced Mouth in Darkwing Duck and I ranted on that one; but I didn't do tributes until the TaleSpin re-rants actually) and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Deezen landed his first and perhaps best known role in the film Grease, playing nerdy student Eugene Felsnic, a part he won through a standard audition process.[5] During Grease's post-production period, Deezen won another small role playing a bully in the low-budget independent science fiction movie Laserblast. Despite being his second film, Laserblast marked Deezen's screen debut when it was released in March 1978, three months before the theatrical release of Grease. Following the massive success of Grease, Deezen found himself being cast in a string of high-profile comedy films playing similarly nerdy characters, including Robert Zemeckis' directorial debut I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Steven Spielberg's 1979 epic comedy 1941.

Deezen was in such demand by 1979 that he was constantly having to turn down roles. At least two such notable instances were the characters of Eaglebauer in Rock 'n' Roll High School (which was then given to Clint Howard)[6] and Spaz in Meatballs, both of which Deezen turned down in order to film 1941.[5] Throughout the early 1980s, Deezen perpetuated his trademark nerd persona in several major films, including WarGames, Zapped! and Disney's Midnight Madness, as well as returning to the role of Eugene Felsnic in Grease 2, one of only seven actors from the original Grease to return for the sequel. In 1984, Deezen was cast in a recurring role on television, playing a goofy superintendent on the first season of Punky Brewster. After filming only eight episodes, however, Deezen voluntarily left the series due to his reluctance to perform before a live audience and a continuing difficulty in remembering his lines.[5] 1983's WarGames proved to be the last mainstream film of Deezen's live-action career as he began working exclusively in independent film for the remainder of the 1980s, starting with his first starring role in the 1984 cult film Surf II: The End of the Trilogy, where he played mad scientist Menlo Schwartzer, the movie's antagonist. 1984 also saw the release of Revenge of the Nerds, the film that is generally credited with making the stock character of the stereotypical "nerd" a mainstay of teen films. Despite having arguably created the nerd archetype in such movies before, Deezen was not cast in the film. He remarked in an interview that he later asked the producers of Revenge of the Nerds why he hadn't been offered a role, and was given the response that he was deemed "too geeky", whereas casting was instead just looking to dress "normal people" up as nerds.[3][4] Despite this, Deezen says he is frequently "recognized" by strangers for being in the film.[7]

Deezen worked steadily throughout the remainder of the 1980s and early 1990s, continuing to play nerds in both bit parts and major roles, including the ensemble comedy Million Dollar Mystery, Critters 2: The Main Course, The Whoopee Boys and The Silence of the Hams. He worked several times alongside comedian Tim Conway, most notably appearing in two of his Dorf videos, and struck up a partnership with prolific low-budget filmmaker and producer Fred Olen Ray, who gave Deezen leading roles with the films Beverly Hills Vamp, Mob Boss and Teenage Exorcist. To date, Deezen's last live-action appearance was a cameo as a security guard in the 1998 Leslie Nielsen spoof Spy Hard. In a July 2009 interview, Deezen revealed that he would return to acting in front of the camera, stating "The truth is, it is extremely tough to sustain a career in Hollywood. It is tough enough ever getting work, just the sheer odds. I loved John (Travolta) and Matthew (Broderick) and it would definitely be my pleasure to work with them again. Believe me, if the right role was there and available, I'd be there in a second".[8] In 2012, Deezen will star in a live-action comedic short film entitled I Love You, Eddie Deezen. The plot revolves around a nerdy woman's cross-country journey to find the man of her dreams: Eddie Deezen. The short is currently in the stages of post-production, with a projected release date of late summer 2012.[9] In the mid-1980s, Deezen transitioned into voice acting, a change of pace he favored due to better pay and not needing to memorize dialogue.[4] He started out lending his voice to animated feature films, including Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird and Don Bluth's 1991 Rock-A-Doodle. According to a 2011 interview, Deezen unsuccessfully auditioned for the role of the title character in 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit, losing out to comedian Charles Fleischer.[10]

Deezen eventually found full-time voice work on television in the mid-1990s, playing recurring characters on the animated series Grimmy, Duckman, Kim Possible and What's New, Scooby-Doo?, as well as guest spots on many others, including Johnny Bravo, Recess and Darkwing Duck. His best-known voice-over character, however, is that of Mandark, the arch-nemesis of the eponymous Dexter on Cartoon Network's Dexter's Laboratory, a role he played for the series' entire run from 1996–2003. Deezen also voiced the character on the TV special Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip and the video games Cartoon Network Racing and FusionFall. In 2004, Deezen returned to the big screen once again under the direction of Robert Zemeckis to supply voice and motion capture performance for the blockbuster holiday film The Polar Express, playing the role of the nerdy "Know-It-All". He reprised this role for the subsequent video game. Deezen regularly lends his voice to radio and television commercials. In the late 1990s, he provided the voice of Pop (of Snap, Crackle and Pop) in commercials for Rice Krispies cereal,[5] and Nacho, the mascot for Taco Bell's kid's meals commercials, alongside Rob Paulsen as Dog. In 2011, Deezen was under consideration for succeeding Gilbert Gottfried as the voice of The Aflac Duck, but did not win the role.[11] Darkwing Duck as Mouth is his DTVA debut and he was in a cameo in Goof Troop, Timon & Pumbaa as Bahuka, Mighty Ducks as Alvin Yasbek, Recess as Frank "Tiny" Sedgewick, and his most recent credit, Handy Manny as Zip. He has 75 acting credits and three self credits to his resume. So yeah; three paragraphs on him alone. OUCH!

Ron points out to Ned that this is the usual Nacho Night Promotion and it should be $4.98; so Ted tells him that the promotion is canceled and we do the closeup zoom in's on Ron and Rufus' face. Ned informs us that it wasn't his idea but someone bought out Bueno Nacho and offers Ron a 1-800 number to file a complaint. Ron is not happy with this and he has some concerns as Kim was watching him the whole time. Kim gets snippy about boyfriends and having a date date as Monique calls Kim for being played by Bonnie. Kim isn't buying it; so Monqiue quotes Bonnie in a sarcastic manner. Kim admits that she's being played a little; but she wants to make Bonnie eat her world. So Ron comes over and tells her that life has changed forever because Naco Night is no more as Rufus' sheds a tear in sorrow complete with sad music. HEE HEE! He asks Kim for three dollars as we get the FOUR BEEPS OF DOOM 15 and a half minutes in after nine plus minutes of beep free action. Wade tells us that Drakken is spotted at the Bermuda Triangle..and we get ominous music, thunderclaps and it's an island hotel with a neon sign showing a ship sinking. So we head inside to some double doors as a bouncer in a white coat and pants is guarding the door. Shego is wearing a green dress and if there is anyone who hates dresses more than Gosalyn; it's Shego. Drakken tells the bouncer that he's here on official business and tries to walk in; but the bouncer stops him. Drakken tells Shego to tip/bribe the guy; but the bouncer snaps a pink bow tie on Drakken. HAHA! So we head outside as a fishing boat docks at the pier as we have an old man with a orange with green spot doo rag and a purple shirt with green flowers on it. Apparently; he watched Merit Time Adventures for fashion tips. Kim thanks him and we discover that his name is Bailey. Bailey thanks her for saving him from a hurricane. I have zero clue who voices him; but just to get it out of the way...

McC. Khumba as Seko is his most recent credit. He has 275 acting credits, three writing credits (Inside The Legend, Evil Con Carne and 66 episodes of MADtv.), one ADR (Mallrats) and 20 self credits to his resume. Yeap; another three paragraphs just for him. I have no clue if he did any of the cameo voices that I'm aware of. I'm guessing the doctor in question with Drakken is Doctor Gooberman which is done by Kevin Michael Richardson as well.

Kim proclaims that it was just okay since it wasn't the perfect storm as the babyfaces all don scuba gear. Ron lectures Rufus that this is a "move in, do the damage, get out" scheme which is my favorite scheme. I like my violence that way. No over the top killing; no killing until you see the insides. Just kill him and get the hell out. So we get a pretty neat setup of a black lady in a really neat looking purple dress on the microphone on top of a piano singing a song about searching for someone. I have zero clue who is singing here as we get the back shot of her on the piano and yes; this is a legit piano the guy in the red shirt is playing. So in comes Drakken and Shego as Shego's dress looks like she had some of it cut as a form of rebellion against Drakken. Or something. And they are looking for Big Daddy Botherson as they go down the stairs as Drakken calls himself a super genius and can handle Big Daddy. Somehow; that was more disturbing than Drakken had intended. No wonder Shego was trying to warn him about something. So we head underwear with the babyfaces swimming down to the ocean floor level as Rufus is manning the light. Ron hits the electrical fence and no DALEK X-RAY OF DOOM? I club BS&P! This is not 4Kids guys. Kim uses the laser pen to cut a circle through the fence and then shoves Ron through it and we swim on as Ron gets caught in the green eye spheres (about a dozen of them) and gets tied up by their steel ropes. Kim grabs the spheres and Ron is now her marionette. HAHA! Ron slaps himself in the ears for my amusement as Kim struggle to break the chains that bind Ron; but is only managing to make me laugh at Ron. Kim breaks the binds and we swim some more into the hundreds of clam shells which Rufus gets too close and all of them open to reveal red arrow laser guns.

So Kim brings out a vacuum cleaner bag and opens it and swings it around which causes the thing to destroy all the lasers in the area. Kim and Ron escape through the hole above them and they allow the rock to crumble. So they swim up and head to the beach as Ron is relived. Kim tells Ron to close his eyes because we are going under cover as she strips off-screen and then puts on a blue dress and a black wig. Okay; this is the second time a pre-adult has stripped naked, but we only see Kim's legs and feet; so no big deal. And it's understandable since she is considered a human and not an anthro. So this is not at Cubbi levels guys. Rufus is wearing a black tuxedo and Ron is wearing a aqua marine blue tuxedo with oversized shoes. Kim isn't thrilled of this as Ron states that it's for the prom and has never been worn outside of his father wearing it. So we head to a dark room with a fish tank containing a squid and various other glass encased stuff. We see Big Daddy Robertson sitting cross legged and wearing almond colors this time. His bouncer is wearing a black tuxedo, red tie and no legion hat. Drakken walks in to talk to Big Daddy; but Big Daddy wants the password. Drakken is confused and Big Daddy's bouncer grabs him off-screen and Drakken gets punched away and lands on a conveniently placed table which has glass which shatters. Shego is sitting at said table drinking some iced tea and mocking Drakken for not knowing the password and thinking that a genius like him could figure it out on his own. HAHA! Drakken blows her off because he is not a patient man. Drakken demands the password and Shego whispers it in his ear...and we return back to Big Daddy's office with a closeup of Drakken finally saying the password which is neener (Disney Captions has it as neenenner by the way). HAHA! Drakken is let past this time as Big Daddy offers Drakken a seat on the purple cushion. Drakken tries to sit down and he flops backwards. HAHA!

So we head to a shot of the top of the building where there is a hole into some device that I'm not sure of. This device apparently leads into the vents as Kim and Ron crawl towards a grate which happens to be above the ladies room. So Kim brings out the red lipstick laser and cuts a hole through the grate. Ron calls it cool and asks why Wade never makes cool toys for him. Kim claims that Ron once completely melted his fingers which cannot be true unless it was his pinkies that got melted; which would be a cute joke on the four fingers trope. Kim uses the mini grappling hook to slide down the grate and Ron tries to come with her; but Kim stops him because it's the ladies room. After all the Kevin Sullivan booked street fights; you would think BS&P would realize that the damage has been done a long time ago and it's time to let go and tell the 700 Club to go back to PAX forevermore. Ron is forced to go further and Rufus's light goes out. So Ron somehow has the lipstick laser and turns it on and it goes out of control. I'm guessing Wade didn't put a safety lock on it. Figures; knowing him. So Ron cuts though the vent and he plops down into a hallway of some kind which looks generic. Ron then sneaks over and sees a bunch of adults gambling and playing cards at the table. Nice to see that gambling is still allowed in DTVA at this point. The cowboy gambler with blond hair, blond mustache and brown vest with green Spider Man type shirt calls out Ron (voiced by Stephen Root by the way) and Ron is stammering while the four guys look at him for no reason and Ron states that he is. What an idiot?! One of them looks like Oscar Proud in green, one wears a purple suit with a patch over his left eye and the other one wears a black tank top. So we see Drakken with the MONEY, MONEY, YEAH, YEAH and he claims to have it and wants the information. Big Daddy has the information on a piece of paper and demands the money on the table.

Drakken demands that he put the information on the desk; and Big Daddy wants him to go first. Drakken has no time for silly games. I don't think BD is playing around Drakken. And I'm right as Big D snaps him fingers and his bouncer throws Drakken back on the Japanese table. HAHA! Shego basically sums it all up as Drakken grumbles like a Nintendo fanboy after spending an hour installing the Wii U update. So we head to the door leading to the ladies room as Kim comes out using her purple earring as a transmitter to call Wade. Kim asks for Drakken and Wade claims that he doesn't see him. So Kim asks about Shego and we see her as she lunges at Kim and starts neon aura punching her and still misses. Oh goody; Kim Vs. Shego round....I lost count at this point so Kim backflips on the stairs and uses the tray on a table to block a punch from Shego. We dodge some more as both combatants jumps up onto the big ass chandelier which leads to a sequence while Shego punches the glass of the chandelier while Kim is hanging onto the edge; Kim backflips and flips Shego into the pole of the chandelier which Shego aura punches and Kim is forced to jump in front of a foreground table as the chandelier crashes into the background table and it breaks. I AM NOT THE TABLE~! Don't ask; I cannot explain the logic of that scene. Kim hides under the foreground table as Shego punches through it; and calls for Wade asking where Ron is. Wade has no idea as we head back to the gambling table as cowboy gambler gives a huge ass stack of cow chips; 5 million dollars worth to Ron. Ron stammers like an idiot as usual as Soviet Union black tank top gambler deals the cards. The gamblers put in some chips as the tension is so comical that a knife is useless in this. Ron is absolutely clueless as he throws all his chips down into the pile and purple suit eye patch gambler folds instantly. Wow; just wow.

Cowboy gambler is impressed as we go through a serious of promos of cowboy gambler seeing through a bluffer as we are in Texas Hold'em Poker levels now. No surprise since the cowboy is probably from Texas. And Ron is so much of an idiot that he does everything a bluffer is claiming to do according to the cowboy gambler. I'm amazed that Disney is allowing this to go on; let alone at all. So cowboy gambler has three kings down and Ron only has the Joker so he goes fish. HAHA! Cowboy gambler wins the entire pot as Ron stammers and tries to leave; but CBG stops him. Why? Because he wants real money payment from the chips see. Ron stammers some more and then the doors fling open and here comes Kim Possible and Shego fighting on top of the table. Shego tries to punch Kim; and hits wood even if Kim wouldn't have moved. Shego pushes up and backs off as Kim comes at her with the teased flying kick; but she lands on her feet and Shego and Kim run off. CBG stalks Ron; but then a greasy white suit midget man comes in addressing himself as the Kid and is ready to play. Ron realizes that he is screwed; so he runs off and collides into Kid allowing Rufus to land on Kid. Ron panics; grabs Rufus and runs off. So we head to a sky shot of the table as Drakken and Big Daddy slowly put the money and information on the table and then slowly try to grab the opposite thing they put on the table. I love these chess games because they waste some time and it isn't an attempt to "see if the kids laugh at it" and thus it means something and it builds dramatic tension. So Drakken grabs the information and gets all giddy...until he opens it and it's his grocery list. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Big Daddy sums up Drakken's trading skills up in a neat little package and Drakken yells for Shego from the top of his lungs. HAHA!

So Drakken wants to know about cybernetic technology and Big Daddy goes into a speech about the complexity of cybernetic stuff that even the most brilliant of minds struggle with everyday. Drakken whines as Big Daddy claims only one person has cracked the code and his name is...wait for it...wait for it some more...Doctor James Timothy Possible. Drakken calls this irony in his favor. I love real comments that aren't supposed to be real comments. So we cut to Ron going down a hallway and then we head back to the dining area as Kim is dodging and backflipping towards the doors leading to the kitchen as a waiter comes out with three plates of food and Kim throws them at Shego; two of them break on impact; third one nails Shego into the serving tray on wheels. Oh TAG! On the other hand; it's slightly more believable than Throw Mummy On A Train as we get more food fighting with and without food. Ron runs in with a serving tray on wheels containing turkey, mash potatoes and rolls. He wheels it down and Kim dodges; but Shego bumps into it (no male on female contact? What no male on female contact?) and then bumps over the piano and knocks down the microphone stand. Kim grabs Shego by the threads and demands to know Drakken's plans; but Shego no sells because she cannot get Drakken's Krackpotkin plans either. Drakken runs in as he tells Shego it's time to go. Shego does a vicious backflip kick in Kim's face which not only makes contact; but on-screen without a flash to boot. No shots to the face? What no shots to the face? Shego climbs the rope with Drakken as it lifts up to reveal a helicopter outside as Drakken proclaims on the way out that she thinks she's all that; but she isn't even close. Kim is pissed off because this is annoying her. So we head to the hallway inside Middleton high school as Kim goes to her locker and opens it. She places her book inside as we see Bonnie talking to the big blond haired weasel with the Middleton colors coat and brown pants. That is Brick Flagg by the way; but he doesn't speak here. Bonnie seems to be unintentionally driving the knife into Kim's back as we see Jessica with a brown haired dude and then goes to her locker and Ron shows up out of nowhere.

So Ron proclaims that Naco Night is coming back as he shows a signed petition with only his name on. He is probably going to need more signatures. He is going to need a miracle because this is not going to work at all. So he'll drum up support; but Kim stammers and then states that she is heading home. Ron sezs it's fine; but as Kim is about to leave, Ron tells her that he has a good idea what this is about. Kim turns around surprised as Ron apologizes for messing up the sting operation earlier which is dumb because he was the one who beat Shego. It was Shego who didn't know; and even Kim notices it because she shrugs it off as no big (deal). Then she grabs the petition and a blue pen and signs the petition. Ron thanks her and Kim calls it no big...you know. Ron calls this very big and he can count on her. Kim walks off not looking too thrilled about this as this came off rather awkwardly. So we head back to Kim's house inside between the room leading to the living room as James is watching baseball on his big screen television. Kim comes in and asks for some time with James. James turns off his television and turns around asking what Kim wants to talk about. Kim wants to talk about....BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Yes; this has meaning later on as James stammers like an idiot. He goes to his cellphone and calls Ann because when it comes to boys and dating; James is a loser. So James gives Kim the phone as Kim walks to her room which somehow is either Ann's room or Kim's room just moved for some strange reason. So Kim and Ann exchange notes about the situation as we talk about food chains, social ladders and Bonnie being an ass as Ann states that Ron could be a good choice. Kim claims that he's not boyfriend material; albeit best friend material. Kim lies on the bed proclaiming that the person you go out with makes a statment. Then we hear other surgeons in the background as they recommend Kevin from the chess club as we discover that she's on speaker and in the middle of an operation with a black man on table. Ummm; yeah. I also discover that one of the surgeons with white skin and a big head is Doctor Gooberman. Sorry about that folks.

Kim is embarrassed; not because they recommend Kevin, but because Ann breached their private conversation with her hands free approach. And the patient flat lines completely as Ann hangs up on Kim for obvious reasons. Kim hangs up as well and we head outside with Kim and Monique on the street corner as Kim is walking in the street. IN YOUR FACE KICK BUTTOWSKI! Monique is wearing all red today as Kim calls this whole thing a non issue now and doesn't care about the food chain; as he picks Ron. Monique tells her to stay by her Ron and Ron slowly comes in with his "Ten Times Faster Than My Old Scooter, Yep! Yep!" scooter. HAHA! Shame on Disney to delete that scene for the Disney Channel because it showed the setup for the payoff to this joke. It's on the Gorilla Fist rant in case you want to know. Kim proclaims that he is a childlike wonder. HAHA! I love real comments that aren't supposed to be real comments. Kim and Monique walk away as Ron wants them to keep it real as their walking is faster than Ron's scooter. Yep! Yep! So we pan up to Middleton high school on the far shot as various students are walking into Middleton. Sign of the day: R U Ready 4 the BIG Dance? I see someone has an internet sense of humor. Unrelated but I need to get this off my chest before I continue: The Wara Wara Plaza of Miiverse has some of the most fantastic calming music I have ever heard. If it's not on Super Smash Brothers Wiiu; I'm going to hate that series for the rest of my life. Anyhow; we see Ron tries to get in between two cars with his scooter (which has to be the dumbest place to park a two wheeled vehicle in history) as Rufus motions him to take it slow. However; a red motorcycle cuts Ron off and parks in his place. Ron is PISSED off and talks like a caveman to force the point as the guy opens the face mask of the helmet and we discover that Ron isn't so angry anymore for no real reason. The big brown haired guy has a green/light green shirt with brown eyes and a smile that spells fake robot. So they shake hands and we discover that this is Eric (Disney Captions has it as Erik, which is fine.)

Eric is voiced by Ricky (Raviv) Ullman and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! You get the picture here..): Ullman's first professional role was as Louis in the national touring company of The King and I along with Jesse McCartney. Other productions he worked on include Peter Pan at the Polka Dot Playhouse, The Music Man with the New England Repertory Company, and Just People at the Long Wharf Theatre. He received a 1998–1999 Best Actor nomination from the Connecticut Critics' Awards for his character Stanley in Stamford Theater Work's A Rosen by Any Other Name. Ullman is best known for his starring role as Phil Diffy, a teen from the year 2121 on Disney Channel's Phil of the Future, a series that debuted June 2004. He also starred as Roscoe in Disney's made-for-television film Pixel Perfect and as Sam in ABC Family's television film Searching for David's Heart (2005). Ullman was an identified member of the Disney Channel Circle of Stars, and appeared with other members of the Circle in the music video for "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes," where he sang as well as played the drums. Ullman also appeared in the Law & Order: SVU episode "Obscene," in which his character rapes a teen star (Maggie Grace). While Ullman previously went by the stage name Ricky, he started using his real name in 2006 when he guest-starred on an episode of House[6] and continued to use Raviv on all projects since.[7] In 2008, he appeared in an episode of the television series The Middleman. He played the character named Kip in the sitcom Rita Rocks on Lifetime. He is Rita's daughter's boyfriend, who also plays the drums in Rita's band. The show has since been canceled after two seasons. He was most recently featured in a commercial for State Farm Insurance alongside John C. McGinley. Also, shown in a commercial for Cox Cable.

From January 2012 to March 24, 2012, Ullman starred as the character Alex in the New Group's production of "Russian Transport" Off-Broadway in New York. On April 30, 2012, it was announced that Ullman joined the cast of Alena Smith's new Off Broadway play The Bad Guys. It began performances on May 22 at the McGinn/Cazale Theater on the Upper West Side in New York City. In June 2006, Ullman and a few of his friends created a parody hip-hop music video, "Pointy Hat (The Boat Song)," under the name the Webee Boys.[8] The video was viewed over 300,000 times since it was posted to YouTube on June 26, 2006.[9] Two other music videos were released, "Refrigerator (Gangsta' Way)" in August 2006, which was viewed over 90,000 times[10] and "Bop It (Webee Anthem)" in March 2007. The Webee Boys have performed live exclusively at the Gig in Hollywood, California.[11] In December 2006, Ullman met actor Douglas Smith of Big Love fame and together they formed a band called Goodbye Ian. The group expanded to as many as seven people and later changed its name to His Orchestra. Ullman plays drums and glockenspiel in the band, which released its debut album, Field Guide to the Wilds, on February 24, 2009.[12] Both groups communicate online through the social networking Web sites MySpace[8][12] and Twitter.[13][14] He started in Crossfire as Aziz. Kim Possible is his only DTVA appearance. Contest is his most recent credit. He has 32 acting credits and three self credits to his resume.

Rufus is clearly not buying this as he tries to chew Erik's shoe as Erik is pretty friendly with Rufus as we exchange notes on Rufus as we head inside as Ron asks for the name again. Ron sits on the rail and proclaims that Erik is lucky to have run into Ron Stoppable because he knows all and lies a lot. Evidence #1: Erik asks for where assignments papers are given and Ron slides down the rail and lands on his ass. HAHA! Ron claims that he's not a nuts and bolts guy; he's big picture. Yeap; Baloo. With a dose of Kit Cloudkicker's nutty side. POW! OUCH! Hey....So we head into the lunchroom as Erik and Ron grab trays as Ron goes on about getting a good hot meal which his mileage may vary. Then Erik's eyes open wide as he sees Kim Possible getting her lunch from the lunch lady (wearing a fishnet on her head and purple dress with glasses). Ron mistakes this as having eyes with the lunch lady and he can never get her fired. Probably because she's a lot better than Miss Finster and Doctor Slicer combined. Erik is looking at Kim which Ron points out as Kim Possible. Erik calls this a weird name as Ron is shocked that he doesn't know who Kim Possible. Telltale sign that he's a robot right there in my view; but for most, the writers and animators have not blown his cover in anyway (well; I have seen the movie before and have a good idea on the plot so it's to be expected); so it's fine. Kim walks with her tray as Ron tells Erik about his misadventures with Kim and that he's tight with KP. Erik asks if they are close; and Ron stammers claiming that he's best friends with her and not sexual partners in roundabout terms; and he doesn't want to discuss that anymore. Erik shrugs his shoulders as Ron goes over to the lunch lady and wants the wild mushroom risotto with black pepper and Parmesan. Sadly; Open Office only sees it as a word if it's capitalized. Don't ask me why as Ron's complex speaking gives him...gray slop as usual. HAHA! Erik doesn't know what to think and neither does Ron.

So Kim is with Monique who are eating wraps and meatloaf with green stuff and tomatoes as Kim motions Ron to come over and he and Erik does. In one fell swoop; Erik shows up and Kim is entranced right away. Ron tries to sit down; but Erik butts in and sits right beside her. Kim just doesn't know what to make of this as Monique proclaims that she went from oh to whoa. Erik is confused of this as Kim talks about Monique speak; while Ron complains about Erik stealing a chair that doesn't have his name on it. So Ron steals a chair from a blond haired kid with a red shirt who may or may not be Josh Mankey. Ron gets inbetween the two love birds with his tray and chairs as Ron talks about meeting KP since Pre-K while bringing his knife and fork out to boot. He also spills his drink which means that he won't be able to ride Kim's love mobile for the next 72 hours. AHHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow; that is the first time I used that rejected Rhinokey since Piratesy Under The Sea. Only this movie is a lot better than that episode by about three universes give or take Saturn. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ron smiles and then realizes that he sees a loop and he's out of it. So we sing the song "We're the best of friends" as we get various scenes of Kim and Erik playing together and being together while Ron is in the background looking shameful. Kim standing on the swing is a thing of beauty as she is wearing a blue full shirt. Ron is wearing a pink shirt while riding on the see-saw. I'm happy that at least one animator has no issues with men wearing pink. This is a really sweet song as Kim and Erik enjoy nachos while Ron sulks with his white shirt. Is it the relationship; or that his petition drive failed so badly? Probably both and then we get Ron on the scooter as Kim and Erik literally pass him by on the red motorcycle which is a fitting payoff to the slow scooter gag. It is a lovely song; no Home Is Where The Heart is; but it does work as a character song as Kim wants a boyfriend and Ron just wants to be loved and not merely liked...

...and then THEY SHOW UP~! Who? We head to Kim's house AFTER HAPPY HOUR and inside the living room as the Tweebs are on the megaphone warning us that cooties are abound. If only cooties did in fact kill you; so then then Kim can spread it to the Tweebs and we never have to hear about them ever again. Sexist pigs! Kim and Erik completely ignore them as they look at Kim's baby pictures on the wall and Kim nudges Erik and playfully tells him to shut up; which is probably one of the only times that has happened in DTVA. Ron is sitting in a green chair with Rufus as Rufus is threatening to vomit and Ron agrees with him. Ann comes in asking what toppings for the pizza and Kim picks pepperoni; while Erik calls a jinx and she owes him a soda; which sadly might be a lot more than just that. Ron does the Gruffi pose and acts all jealous and Soup Nazi all at the same time. Leave it to Ron to Godwin the episode. So we head to the rocket scientist center in Middleton and to a dark room as James is using his blackberry mobile device as he is calculating something and the phone rings. I like the special effects here as the phone rings and James answers it as it's Ann talking about pizza night while getting plates from the cupboard. James switches between the microscope and the phone as he proclaims that he loves bacon and he'll be not too late. He hangs up the phone and goes back to the microscope as he looks into it wanting some cybernetic replication and the mass of electricity and chips expands and James proclaims victory and the Hephaestus Project is a go. Hephaestus is the god of fire which makes no sense at first glance; until you factor in that he is the god of metal working so it works much better anyway. James swings back and asks who is the man. So his chair gets turned around and it's sumo ninja returning. He doesn't speak anyway as Drakken comes in proclaiming that he's the man who wants the Hephaestus project. Yeah; Drakken still doesn't like James one bit as usual.

So we scene change to boxes of pizza on the floor (I think) as Rufus comes out of a closed back and is fat and laying down looking smug. Ron is at the table sitting down picking pepperoni from his pizza and generally feeling miserable. Because he is watching KP and Erik eating pizza together; as the Tweebs eat pizza together as well. Ann notices Ron is down and Ron gets up and stammers claiming that he has belly flips. So Ann claims that she has her endoscope (I think that's the name of the device which looks into the hallow organs of a body. Example: The lungs, stomach). Ron is about to leave and just to stick the knife further into the back; Kim and Erik wave later to him. That completely pisses off Ron as he steals Jim's (or Tim's, it doesn't matter, I can barely tell them apart anyway) and screams out "COOTIE ALERT" and storms off. This isn't jealous; this is heartbreaking for me. Ann wonder what got into him as the Tweebs open the pizza for dad and wants to heat it; but Ann shuts down the cover on the pizza. Not because they are stealing James' pizza; but because she doesn't want anymore fusion experiments. Ummm; Ann, have you ever heard of a microwave? They want to eat Dad's pizza; not do experiments with it. That's a brain fart if I ever heard one; and then Ann wonders where James is as we see the empty seat and then cut back to James blowing off Drakken because Kim is not afraid of him and calls him Drew. Drakken is pissed off of this because that was college and not now. James then mocks Drakken's crappy dating skills as Drakken goes into a promo about the Possibles giving him lip and not respecting, captor-captive relationships. It's absolutely hilarious when the heel project himself as the moral guardian in this situation and Drakken's got it down to a T. James proclaims that he won't tell him anything. So Drakken proclaims that in order to make an omelette; you have to crack a few eggheads as sumo ninja cracks his fingers together. James sees this and decides to go to his blackberry device and orders his device to....delete the Hephaestus Project. HAHA!

Drakken is pissed off as James proclaims that it's right in his head now. Drakken counters that he has a brain tap machine and he's dying to use it on James. HA! Not to smart eh; rocket scientist who launches rockets by accident? James is not liking this at all as we return to inside Bueno Nacho as Ron is invoking the Gruffi pose not wanting to eat his nachos. Rufus gets up with the purple pager as it is beeping. Ron no sells it and doesn't eat his night snack as Ned comes in and sits down opposite Ron as Ron notices the clip on tie is not clipped anymore. Ned is no longer the assistant manager and the new one is Lars who is a bald guy wearing a red prison jumpsuit. Wait; something is seriously wrong with this picture here? Ned claims that big changes are in the air which includes kiddy meals with toys in them. Ron doesn't see it as bad as Ned claims that it means the brat factor which is a playground and Ned then smears burritos and nachos and cheese on his face claiming it means being a clown now. Ron wants to know if the pay is good for that gig. Answer: It isn't Ron. Trust me on that one. So the pager continues to beep and Ron grabs it and notices in blue digital letters that it's Kim Possible 911. So we scene change to the front door of Kim's house as Kim opens the door and proclaims that Drakken has her dad. So we head to a far shot of THE SECRET LAIR OF DOOM. I should have put scare quotes in "The Secret" and see if anyone gets the joke. So we go into the hallways as Kim and Ron practice the fine art of not being seen as the animators even remembered to have one of the glass windows still have a hole in it. Good foreshadowing there too as you will see. So Ron thinks this place is trapish and Kim agrees with him and the circular steel trapdoor snags them and we slide underground and defy gravity on the way. Kim and Ron free fall to the basement level as Kim uses the grappling hook and fires onto the rock ceiling. They swing to safety and land onto the ground as Drakken suddenly appears. Kim tries to blitz Drakken; but it's only a reuse hologram. HA! Drakken tells Kim to save her energy since her father is in a pickle.

We then zoom out to see James hanging from a rope over a tank with a giant ass octopus. What a shock this is? So Kim runs in; but is forced to back flip because the GEDO KILLER RAY OF DEATH beckons. Now THERE'S a good use of banana yellow right there. Death reference #1 and #2 ensue from Drakken as Ron calls that redundant. Ron backs away as a Synthro Drones rises up from the floor with neon green spotlights. Yeah; Kim kicks one down; so that just brings in more Synthro Drones rising from the floor. So Drakken laughs and proclaims that he'll be settling in his new lair and plans to take over the world. He wishes Kim Possible farewell; and of course he intentionally forgets Ron Stoppable's name, twice in the same scene. A new record for Drakken. Ron is pissed off; but Kim wants Ron to focus, so Ron thanks Kim for at least remembering his name. So James get lowered and the octopus uses the tentacles to grab Jame's shoe and throw it away. James is not amused; and Drakken even less so as Kim manages to find an easy way to kill the Synthro Drones: Let the death ray shoot each other in the chest with their green laser beams while dodging their laser fire. They all turn into goo as Kim is grossed out. Drakken's overkill is killing this plan. So Ron runs in and climbs the tank and the octopus grabs him from behind as James is telling him to look out. The octopus then whacks Ron face first; side first into the ground with MAN-SIZED bump about a dozen times. Seriously! On-screen; no impact stars. Even Rufus goes flying and takes a bump himself. That is Kit Cloudkicker level bumping from Ron as Kim's shirt arm gets torn and she tells Ron to stop fooling around as we get more shots from the laser to the chest. Rufus wakes up and runs over and bites the octopus' tentacles and Ron is free.

Sadly; James is underwater now as Ron needs help here while Kim dodges lasers and drones who get shot by said laser beam. I can just hear Shego mocking Drakken right now: You seriously thought over killing the place would work out; sure Drakken. Kim rolls to her right and brings out the W-POCKET MIRROR OF VANITY which deflects the death ray and it shoots right into the death ray and destroys it causing blazing metal to almost burn Kim in the process. Kim then jumps into the tank and we get the FCC FRIENDLY TANK FIGHT OF DEATH which the octopus completely blocks us from seeing. All we know is the octopus goes limp and Kim jumps out of the tank with James and his clothes are torn apart. Kim asks what Drakken did to him and James doesn't remember and only remembers bacon pizza. So the brain tap machine is basically a non-magical version of the black box. Kim and James walk out as James has no clue about his house either. So we head to the dressing rooms of a clothing store as Monique and Kim are trying out new clothes for the prom and talking about Kim saving her Dad natch. So Monique claims that she'll never be grounded which is dumb because this isn't the first time she has saved her dad (Attack of The Killer Babes, HELLO~!) as Kim comes out in the tackiest dress ever and even Monique blows it off. So Kim goes back into the dressing room and puts on a aqua blue dress; but not a real aqua blue dress, that's cruel. Monique calls Kim, Kimderella (She called the last dress wretched? FACKING BULLSHEET~!) and I gag as Erik shows up to stop this nonsense. Erik likes the dress and has only been to Middleton for five minutes (which sounds totally as random as Drakken's plan which is evidence #2 he's a robot) and Bonnie comes in and mocks Kim and Ron because they are together forever. So Monique lies about Brick Flagg hitting on a girl in Earring World and Bonnie thinks that he's brainwashed by the hoops and runs off; setting off the alarm. At first; I thought this made no sense; but she's wearing a dress she is trying out and not paid for. Ron comes out and everyone gags as Ron goes XYZ and we pan down to see that he lost his pants again which Rufus pulls out from the dressing room.

Ron bails into the dressing room with the pants as he looks on watching Erik asking Kim if she wants something to eat and Erik calls this weird as we head to a room where Shego is looking at a big ass computer screen looking at the pictures of various pieces of a puzzle which includes James's brain, teen-zine junk, Synthro Drone upgrades and personalities and Nakasumi's Satan robot dolls. Shego is sitting in the chair asking if Drakken is throwing the worlds most random PJ party. If only Shego, if only. Drakken arrives and mocks her for being unable to figure this out. Shego is pissed off and grabs Drakken by the threads and wants him to spill it all. Drakken no sells as Shego is setting up her green aura fists and asks why not. Drakken's answer is that Kim Possible is not smarter than her. Shego claims that this is true as Drakken points out that if Shego cannot figure it out; Kim cannot either. Drakken is like Don Karnage from Plunder and Lightning: competent and actually thinking his plans through. Drakken then leaves because he has a board of directors meeting and Shego asks what company. Drakken proclaims that it's the one he hostilely took over as we head to Tokyo at dawn as Nakasumi walks on the sidewalk which is weird for a president to be doing and then notices a flashing billboard showing an ad for Bueno Nacho which shows the character that he created and then Nakasumi makes it to the door of a Buneo Nacho eatery as the little kids run out with the Satan Robots and he protests this outrage because Bueno Nacho stole his character and I smell lawsuit. By the way; Disney isn't even trying to hide the fact that it's the devil robot here because they are calling it a diablo which is Spanish for devil. So we REPEAT THE SCENE in Paris, Sydney (and I am deeply saddened that the Aussie kids are stereotyped to the point where they are even taking their shoes off just as they exit the eatery), and even in the Yukon as the kids go out and then come back despite wearing about three dozen layers of clothes. Yeah.

So we head back to Middleton's Bueno Nacho as Ron is surrounded by little kids whining and complaining as we pan over to the door as the blond announcer from earlier is on camera talking about the new toy hit called the diablo as moral guardians are shuddering in fear. Sorry; but Kit being an air pirate is a thousand fold more problematic than this guys. Anyhow; Ron grabs the microphone and freaks out as he just wants to order his food and screams about losing everything he ever cared about as it makes headline news in Middleton as we see the announcer wrapping it up while Lars grabs Ron's threads and I assume Lars threw Ron out. I'm going to get Lars' voice out of the way even though he hasn't spoke yet; because I'm serious into getting this rant done soon. So Lars is voiced by Diedrich Bader and according to the USIMDB: Diedrich Bader was born in Alexandria, Virginia, but moved to Paris, France, with his family at age two. While in the "City of Light" he developed an appreciation for movie legends like Fred Astaire and Charles Chaplin. So, when a fragile "Chaplin" movie reel burned in the theater's projector, four-year-old Bader hopped on stage and entertained the crowd with an imitation of the "Little Tramp." The standing ovation he received set the course for the rest of his life--he knew he wanted to perform. He returned to the United States for high school and attended North Carolina School of the Arts. During spring break he was discovered by a casting director in Santa Fe, New Mexico. That meeting led to an audition for a small role in a TV pilot. Bader landed a starring role instead. Although the pilot wasn't picked up, Bader moved to Los Angeles and began auditioning for other roles. He landed guest spots on several series, including "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987), "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (1990), "Cheers" (1982) and "Quantum Leap" (1989). Filmmaker Penelope Spheeris liked his tongue-in-cheek delivery when he read for her action-adventure spoof series, "Danger Theatre" (1993).

She hired him in that role and for the feature film The Beverly Hillbillies (1993), which she directed. Bader played the dual roles of twins Jethro and Jethrine Beaudine. He also filmed the political thriller The Assassination File (1996) (TV) for the Encore Entertainment Group. Bader was excited to work on the project, as it allowed him to be shot in the head -- a first for the actor. Bader's father, William, was Chief of Staff for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and is president of the Eurasia Foundation on Capitol Hill. His mother, Gretta, is a sculptor whose portrait of the late Sen. J. William Fulbright sits in the National Gallery in Washington, DC. Bader's wife is actress Dulcy Rogers; they reside in Los Angeles, CA. He started in two television movies in 1988: Longram and Desert Rats as Mort. Gargoyles as Jason and Charles Canmore is his DTVA debut; and it's Hercules The Animated Series as Adonis, Pepper Ann, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command as Warp Darkmatter, Lloyd In Space as Harvulian 'Boomer' Standervault, Recess as Guard #2 (movie only), The Legend of Tarzan as Stanley Obrowski, The Replacements as RoboFleem S-G-X (!!!), Phineas & Ferb as Albert and even Gravity Falls. Chosen and Playdate are his most recent credits. He has 130 acting credits, 21 self credits and one production credit (Independent Lens as an exec producer) to his resume. So we head to Kim's living room as the Tweebs love Ron freaking out and even Ann has to admit that Ron is freaking out. Jim and Tim plead for their parents to get them a Diablo Robot from Bueno Nacho and I assume they both said yes; but we cut to Kim in her room watching Ron freak out on Middleton television on her communicator. Kim proclaims that it's time to have a talk with him and Wade informs her that he's in the old treehouse. Yeah; it's time for the Bad Reflection On You Part One talk Baloo and Kit had; only it's a little harder to take Ron seriously as a drama queen because he sounds so comical trying to do melodrama that it renders the pathos pointless.

So we head to the old tree house AFTER HAPPY HOUR which has a white sign with red letters reading "No Girls Allowed". Wow; Ron is symbolically killing the relationship now. We head inside as Ron is sulking on the green sofa as we see pictures of Nakasumi's logo and a wrestler who wrestles half barefoot and half iron foot. He is Steel Toe (voiced by the late Andrew Martin who was Test in the WWE.) as Ron readys the slingshot because someone is coming and Kim calls Ron Huck Finn and tells him to stand down. Ron fires anyway and nails Rufus with a stray pebble. Ummm; yeah. Apparently he used it once at six years old on Annie Cluster. Kim notices the No Girls Allowed sign and Ron claims that it's been there forever; but the paint can near Rufus sezs otherwise as Rufus hides the evidence. It doesn't matter since Kim checks the sign and the paint is still dried. So Kim looks at the picture of Kim and Ron together as kids and takes out the raccoon hat talking about camping which Ron blows off because Camp Wannaweep was the worst summer of his life. And that angle will go somewhere in another episode too. Kim admits that the thing was a disaster and even Ron's mother stop taking phone calls from him. That is just cold. So Ron thinks that the worst part was spending summer without Kim. Kim thinks that there is more to this then the freakout of Bueno Nacho (which started from Ron offering her take out nachos since the diablo toys ruined his relationship quite a bit) Kim then brings up Erik and Ron stammers like an idiot claiming that he's fine with him; even though the tone of voice and body language is clear that he's not down with that. Kim proclaims that it's time to grow up and realize that Erik is not going to change anything between them as friends. Ron blows it off and then just to make things even worse for Ron; Erik called from the ground level of the tree house.

Ron tells him not to come up and Kim gets on his case about it. So Ron claims that there is a weight limit to the treehouse; but ruins the effect by bringing the slingshot into the thing as pushing it. Rufus dines on nachos for fun as Kim climbs down and wants to talk tomorrow. Ron sits down on the sofa and invokes the Gruffi pose and proclaims that he's not jealous. Riiiiggggghhhhtttttt Ron. That sounds like every anti-Disney movement meme I have ever heard from them. So we head to the street as Kim and Erik exchange notes on their relationship and Ron and Erik talks about Kim's mission and Kim thinks Erik thinks that they are weird; but Erik seems cool with it. Erik proclaims that his mission is to take her to the prom and Kim gives the okay. So we head to Ron Stoppable's house BEFORE HAPPY HOUR (Sunset) as we are in Ron's room as Ron is putting on his bow tie and is in his goofy looking suit. So Rufus assists and makes the bow tie look funny as Ron looks in the mirror and goes on and on about Kim and Erik that he wants to talk about his feelings; but then flops on the bed because it could be awful for him since Kim could choose Erik and he flames out again. Rufus gets squashed in the process and cannot pop out from the Ron melodrama. So we head to Kim's house as Erik walks into the house with his white tuxedo and black pants on; as James is giving him the third degree and Erik points out that he knows Kim has a ten pm curfew and on missions it's 11 pm; but he'll stick with ten if all possible. James is shocked and loving it as Ann bails to get the camera and we get a really awesome scene of Kim looking like Cinderella at the ball walking down the steps as the diamond chandelier gleans in the foreground for an added nice touch. It is so beautiful as James has the camera and then....

...the TWEEBS RUIN EVERYTHING AGAIN~! UGH! Yes; they rocket in on their rocket packs again. Can't we go through one pathos scene without these stupid kids?! Now; normally I have no beef with child characters; but these two are an allegory of why child characters are often hated by adults. These two ruin a perfectly good scene just to give comedy relief that is not needed nor wanted. And they are pushing my buttons to the point where I might have to deny this episode the full monty which I felt they deserved when I first saw this movie back when it was at the height of the shows popularity. Erik does at least shorten the Tweebs appearance by opening the red door and dodging the Tweebs as they rocket outside. James praises Erik's reflexes as Kim thinks that Erik is perfect as I discover that she has a icy cyan purse around her neck as she walks forward and James wants to get the two together with his parents. Erik proclaims that he only has a father and he works a lot; as he has a huge ass project in the works. James knows that feeling and cue ominous music here. So James wants double prints as we flash the two in a classy way. We then head to Middleton High School's theater (complete with green balloons and lots of purple circles in the windows) as there is a canopy and cars are parking; including a black one. We hear music in the background as Jesse McCartney singing Get Your Shine On (According to Disney Captions.) as we head inside as the theme for the prom is Disco Goldfish On The Seashore. Which is probably the funniest and silliest choice for a prom ever. The play on DJ playing the turntables and headset looks similar to one of the gamblers earlier on; only with dark sunglasses on and a white shirt with a black vest. Everyone is dancing to the beat as I realize that this is the assembly hall/basketball court (check the lines on the floor) as Erik and Kim are dancing in center court with the rest dancing on in the background; including Monique.

So we head to the tables as Brick Flagg is sitting backwards on the chair (wearing an all black suit) with Bonnie (in a green dress; but not a real green dress since that's cruel) drinking. Brick likes Kim's new boyfriend as he has got the funk. And really; who can argue. Since Brick has finally spoke...Brick Flagg is voiced by Rider Strong and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Strong began his acting career at the young age of nine, when he starred as Gavroche in the San Francisco production of Les Misérables. After the stage production, he appeared in small screen roles on television. In 1992, he received his first regular television series role as Julie Andrews's son on Julie. When the series was canceled, Strong made his debut on film as Amy Irving's son in Benefit of the Doubt. It was not until he was chosen for the role of Shawn Hunter in the ABC series Boy Meets World that he received widespread recognition. During the seven year run he was nominated twice for the Young Artist Award and nominated for a Hollywood Reporter YoungStar Award. When the series ended, Strong returned to the big screen to star as Paul in the indie horror film Cabin Fever, directed by Eli Roth. In 2006, he returned to television for a regular series role in Pepper Dennis on the WB. The show was short-lived and was not chosen as one of the transferring shows to The CW Television Network. He has a brief cameo appearance in Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, the sequel to Cabin Fever. It was released in 2009. Along with his brother, Shiloh Strong, he wrote and directed the short film, Irish Twins, which premiered at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. It went on to win both the Jury Award and Audience Award at the Woods Hole Film Festival, a Special Jury Prize in the Action/Cut Short Film Competition and Best First-Time Director at DC Shorts.

Speaking to Pure Movies in 2010 he expressed that he wanted to expand his writing and directing career: 'Acting is always there and I enjoy it but it’s kind of got a little unfulfilling lately. You know, I’m in the low budget horror world… I have a whole lot of other stuff I want to do.'[2] In April 2008, Strong co-created (with his brother and his girlfriend, actress Alexandra Barreto) a 30-second television ad in support of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, titled "It Could Happen to You." The ad, submitted to MoveOn.org, became one of 15 finalists from a pool of over 1,100 submitted ads, and was chosen as the funniest ad in May 2008. In August, MoveOn raised $200,000 to air the ad on MTV and Comedy Central; it was the first political commercial to ever appear on Comedy Central. In early 2009, Strong narrated the audiobook of The Obama Revolution by Alan Kennedy-Shaffer. In 2010, Strong starred in the science fiction-thriller film The Darkening Sky alongside Ezra Buzzington, Charley Rossman, Sally Berman, Daniel Kirschner and LaShan Anderson under the direction of Victor Bornia.[3] He started on ABC's TGIF as Shawn in 1990. Hercules The Series as Pollux is his DTVA debut. Too Late is his most recent credit. He has 52 acting credits, 13 self credits, three writing credits (Blood Merchant, The Dungeon Master, Irish Twins), three directing credits (Method), and three production credits (Buck Naked Arson, Darkening Sky and The Penthouse) to his resume. Only one more voice actor to go in this; and then we can move onto the best stuff in the rant. Bonnie tells Brick to shut up and he sezs okay as he funks to the beat on the chair. We cut to the disco ball on the ceiling and then segue to a shot outside of the full moon.

We then zoom out to Bueno Nacho as Ron's scooter is in the parking lot and he's the only customer. We then get a neat visual of Ron slowly walking looking defeated as hell. Ned asks about the order and then whisper yells to Ron that something is not right here. Ron ignores him as he orders his usual order and wants a grande size soda for Rufus because he cannot wait. Lars gets on Ned's case every time Ned is trying to tell Ron something that is not right. Lars then ribs Ned on not giving him some Diablo Sauce as Ned takes the sauce and writes something with it on the tray when Lars isn't looking and then puts the entire order on the tray over the message. Ron takes the tray and goes to his table as Rufus fishes through the nachos; then notices the red stuff oozing from the tray; so he pushes the order aside and the tray has a message in red diablo sauce (which is a great BS&P way of allowing blood on the show; without actual blood) that reads evil. Add a "d" to the front and it reads devil. Ron takes out a straw and then suddenly it appears Ron sees the sign of evil and he is parently pissed off now as he storms to the counter and shows more anger than any other time in this show as he proclaims that the eatery has taken away his bendy straws. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Rufus and Ned are flustered after that one. Lars blows him off claiming that he has lost it. Since when did he ever have it Lars? Ron claims that he cares and Lars mocks him for caring about bendy straws. So Ron proclaims that he is going to tell..on his boss and then just storms off. So we head to a payphone as he is calling Wade to file a complaint. Wade asks if he wants to patch to his 800 number; but Ron wants to go to the top on this one. Wade isn't so sure since hacking into a CEO's phone number isn't easy. Ron doesn't care as Wade has found the CEO's phone number as we head to the headquarters of Bueno Nacho which is a big Mexican stereotype building as we head to the CEO's office which looks awfully cool and to the desk. Now if you cannot tell who the CEO is; you have no business reading this rant. Yeap; it's Drakken wearing an awesome cyan blue sweater answering the phone as he makes no effort to mask his voice while speaking.

Even Ron picks it up right away and is shocked; then he turns to the window and sees Rufus and Ned with the tray with the "Evil" writing on it as Drakken is speaking and the phone is hung up by Lars who calls Drakken a very busy man. So Ned and Rufus are fumbling, bumbling and stumbling out of the joint which seems for no reason other than for a laugh; but it does lead to the Diablo Robots marching out of the store giving chase. There are at least 100 of so of them all animated perfectly. So anyone who complains about Toon Boom and CGI being bad should apologize and kiss Silverstar's ass right now. Because there is no way hand drawn animation could pull this off and get dozens of robots to do this; even with the best talent around. So Lars finally kills the facade of being a reformed criminal doing small time work and orders the robots to attack as the robots crawl on Ron and Rufus. Rufus slaps the robots away and Ron flings more robot and rolls to get away. He get back on the "Ten Times Faster Than His Old Scooter, Yep! Yep!" scooter and tries to start it up; but it takes forever and even when it starts; it's still slower than molasses as Ron finally blows it off and projects himself just to make the joke complete. Thank goodness the scooter setup is on the extras because this was one entertaining piece of comedy right there. He does manage to speed up a bit as Lars tries to run and catch him; but somehow manages to break through the Buneo Nacho sign which is conveniently placed in the front and Ron speeds off stage south. Nice visual there guys. So we head back to the basketball court as the prom continue and the color scheme are making me dizzy. More dancing as we get the FOUR BEEPS OF DOOM twice within 15 seconds 48 minutes in after 33 minutes of beep free action. So Kim backs up to the table with Monique as Kim is about to go to the communicator but Monique insists to let it go to voice mail. Kim isn't sure about this as Erik comes in and waves hi to Monique; so Kim decides that Wade would understand and it goes to voice mail. Yeah; it probably isn't important since it might be another love letter from Senor Junior.

Anyhow; we continue on with Ron on the scooter (yes; the joke is officially dead now. Live with it.) as we have the SCOOBY DOO CHASE SEQUENCE THE SATAN ROBOTS EDITION to waste more time. We head back to the dance floor as Ron comes in and gets caught in the balloon arches in the front door declaring the Diablo toys as evil and everyone stops right on cue and the lights light up. Okay; here's a big logic break for ya: So we get a shot of Ron trying to explain the toys acting all evil as the Diablo Toys are marching towards the door. Everyone is looking at Ron so they should have at least seen the red things marching behind him. When they go a couple of feet towards Ron; the Diablo toys suddenly disappear for no reason whatsoever and hide behind the supports perfectly which is pretty neat. And of course; no one in the room buys what Ron is selling despite looking at him when he showed up. Ron looks back and nothing is there as Ron walks inside and the dancing continues. Erik asks Ron if he's all right and Ron blows it off because the tone indicates that he made it up and he doesn't care because Kim believes in him. Kim stammers like crazy trying to say yes; but Ron just keeps going and going and going about the robot and Drakken being behind this. Kim teases blowing off Ron for good; but goes to the communicator and calls Wade because Ron's story is so absurd that it might be true since DRAKKEN is involved. Ron tells Erik to back off and let Kim do her stuff. Erik is not amused for the first time in this movie. Kim asks Wade and Wade pretty much confirms every single thing Ron has said as Wade scanned the toy from his Nino Meal and it is a real robot with advanced technology far beyond anything he has ever seen. The CGI in this is great and it's used in a way that isn't glorified; but used to get the job done (like the skeleton structure of the robots for instance). Wade wonders how this happened and Kim decides to return to see James about it.

Okay; here's a logic break: James originally didn't remember what happened after Drakken used the Brain Trap machine on him off-screen (we know he used it since Shego saw James' brain in a picture on the super computer earlier in the movie) as the Hephaestus project is a complete blank to him; but otherwise, remembered most other things. Well; we head back home and James is outraged because it's the cybernetic technology he used and he even remembers the Hephaestus Project which he doesn't remember after being saved from the octopus by Kim Possible. I'm this close to denying the full monty right there. Ron does make up for it by blowing off Drakken's bad business practices because he stole the technology from James; but give it away for a burrito and took away the bendy straws. HAHA! So we head to Drakken's office as Drakken clears out his ears with his fingers and wait for a bit. HEE HEE! Okay; I laughed at it, mostly for Drakken's facial expressions, so sue me. So he goes to the intercom and calls for Shego as she is in the central computer room with the Crimson Chin Rejects as Shego proclaims that it's a mixed bag. See; the international selling of the toys has reached the optimal level; but there is a snag. Drakken names Kim Possible right away and Shego admits that this is the case. Drakken proclaims that this is not going to happen anymore and tells Shego to stay the course with everyone outside Middleton; but start the invasion in Middleton right now. Drakken also tells Shego to pick someone up as Drakken holds a photo of Kim with Erik. Wait; how did Drakken get the photo in the first place. The only way that could happen is if James used a digital camera and Drakken was able to hack into it somehow. Never mind...

...So we head into the living room as the babyfaces com in as Ann asks what was going on and we exchange notes on the situation. And yes; the Tweebs are in the scene and they have their own Diablo toys which they love stolen technology. We also find out that the cybernetic technology is like a living metal which was sold as that to the board of directors. In reality; it meant that the robots could heal themselves, modify themselves and almost become sentient. But they require a command signal to pull it off. So we head back to Bueno Nacho as the Taco sign opens it's tomato and it's a satellite device which beams white sounds wave all over Middleton. We get various shots of the babyfaces in the house hearing the sound which ends with the Tweebs holding the robot as James grabs the Tweebs and they drop the robots and the robots grow to about seven feet tall and transform slightly (D symbol is U like a devil's horn; claws grow sharper, etc.) as they break the table. Then they grow to house level and destroy the ceiling with the U horns. Kim tells everyone except Ron to get everyone out of the house which she and Ron run interference. The babyface all run out to the garage as Rufus hides in Ron's pocket scared. So the robot bring out the buzz saw which Kim nearly gets killed and the yellow beam of doom scorches the bottom of Kim's dress which makes her angry since it took a lot of babysitting money to get that dress in the first place. And 50% of that was the babysitting the Tweebs. Ron gets off the line of the movie and I'm paraphrasing her: This would be so cool; if it wasn't the last thing we were going to see. HA!

So Kim grabs Ron who almost gets fried with the laser beam and we roll out of the house as the two Diablo robots break through the wall and we see James in the garage with Ann and the Tweebs as James proclaims that Kim needs help. Ann points out that it's giant robots with state of the art weapons and they are cybernetic robots. The Tweebs think Kim is dead; but James blows it off because anything is possible with a Possible. Ann then notices the scooter sitting on the sidewalk and orders the Tweebs to grab their rockets which they do from the wall as James rolls under the open garage room and takes Ron's scooter and brings it back into the garage without incident. James has a lot more quickness than I do which is great to see. So the Possibles weld the rockets onto the scooter as they wear safety goggles and then James notices the J Rocket Fuel 200 that he developed in a gas can and he blames the Tweebs for stealing it. Normally; this accusation would be harsh; but the Tweeb's guilty smile sezs otherwise. So we continue dodging and hide behind the bushes as Ron pleads for help to come. Kim gets on the communicator to Wade; but the robot giant has grown and it's punching his table from above as Wade is hiding under his table. The audio signal is working; but he cannot pinpoint the location of the source of the sound waves. Ron has a very good idea where this is as it comes for the source of all this evil; which is on closeup: Bueno Nacho. I told you this eatery angle was going somewhere. So the robot shoots a flamethrower because bullet shooting guns are bad; but flamethrowers are perfectly okay despite doing more damage because fire lives to consume. And the bushes all burn up of course. James calls to Kim as he throws two helmets to them and the Tweebs yell blast off with the remote control device as the garage door open and out rockets the "10X Faster Than The Scooter Ron Was Using In This Movie, Yep! Yep!" rocket scooter and both Ron and Kim run and jump onto the scooter. The robots put on their rocket skates and the chase is on BABEE!

So we chase for a while as Ron screams that he wants the rocket to go faster; so Rufus climbs out of his pocket and head to the rockets and kicks one of them with his foot which causes the red flames to change into blue flames and we go sonic speed. Ron and Kim make faces to amuse me as we rocket past and snap a lamp pole off the sidewalk and drops it onto the street. So we get an FPS shot of the rocket scooter heading to Buneo Nacho as Ron complains that they even changed the Taco sign; which Kim gleefully corrects him for. Ron wonders how to kill the command signal and Kim claims that they may not have to as Lars comes out of Bueno Nacho and Ron and Kim pull up and ride right on top of the eatery as Kim taunts Lars. Lars turns around and sees the robot coming straight at him and he bails stage left and the robot bumps into the Taco sign and it comes down and smashes into the parking lot; destroying the command signal in the process. The Diablo lunges towards the babyface heroes; but then shrinks like an Inkara on speed and then plops on it's side. Kim calls Wade on the communicator and Wade gets all his room back in order as apparently; the robot didn't kill most of his computer stuff. Ron is relieved that this is over; but Wade is keyboarding because there is a hit on the site. And we finally see Drakken praising Kim for finding the way to foil his scheme and he's happy about it. Drakken demands that Kim surrender now and Kim no sells that deal. And then Drakken informs us that Shego went to the school prom and met the best boyfriend ever as we zoom out to see Shego hanging all over Erik. Erik asks Kim what is going on and Drakken proclaims that if she cares about Erik's safety; she'll surrender right now. UH OH! Kim has that pissed off look on her face and we head to her bedroom as she goes to her closet which has a hand print ID system control panel on the wall and she puts her right hand on the panel and the wall opens to reveal a bag which sezs experimental on it. She opens the bag up and puts on a white body suit which covers her entire body from the neck line to the toes. It has a holder on her right leg similar to Skyla's from Pokemon Black/White 2 and has blue fishes on the legs and blue trim on the arms.

You might have seen it before because it's the outfit Kim Possible wears on the front cover of the So The Drama DVD set and she is going to wear that for the rest of the fight with Drakken I should point out. Wade pleads for her to reconsider because the bugs haven't been worked out yet. Kim doesn't care as it's time to test the suit for real as she wants the coordinates for Bueno Nacho's headquarters. Wade proclaims that it's a hundred miles from Middleton as Kim drives the rocket scooter and Ron is a backseat driver complaining about not having a suit too. They are spotted on radar by Shego in Drakken's main office as Drakken is sitting down in a throne like chair near the wall loving this moment. So the rocket scooter makes it to Bueno Nacho Headquarters and we use the grappling hook gun to rise up to the top as they make it there easily. So Kim talks to Wade again and Wade tells her to check the backpack and we have knock out gas lip gloss which Ron foolishly opens up and acts like Papercut Peterson and does a better selling job of the neck snap and moronic face to boot. Ron closes it up as Ron notices some secret codes which is Kim's history homework and then a toy gun. Kim is surprised by this; until Wade explains that it's an electromagnetic scrambler which can shut down the operation. So we head into the dark hallways of Bueno Nacho headquarters (with glass windows on one side and a CACTUS JACK OF DOOM on the wall with a picture of the first Bueno Nacho as Kim tells him to keep his head in the game. Ron spins the flashlight and we get rumbling as sumo ninja is walking on wall spinning nunchunks and then is talking in the highest pitch voice ever. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! He is now Fat Kenshiro. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ron and Kim giggle at this; so sumo ninja grabs Ron by the neck and blows him off. Ron waves and claims that the mystique is gone with that voice. Kenshiro begs to differ Ron Stoppable-san. Ron gets smacked only once against the wall as sumo ninja wants heavenly revenge; but Kim throws the lip gloss at Ron; which Rufus grabs and open it. Ron and Rufus hold their breath as sumo ninja talks too much and he falls onto the floor cracking the floor somewhat. Heh.

Ron gets away and then the aura green laser shots shoot forcing Kim to dodge as it's Round #666 between Shego and Kim as Shego asks what really pisses her off. Kim answers that it's kidnapping boyfriends and Shego counter that Kim doesn't give up as the shots shatter the glass windows of Bueno Nacho headquarters. So we dodge some more as one of the shots is about to hit Kim; so Kim uses the Blue Sphere Shield to counter and then uses the right arm to change her hand into a field hockey stick which deflect a shot right back at Shego which whizzes two inches above her head and hits glass. Shego taunts Kim for getting an upgrade; because Shego can still beat her. So Shego backflips behind Kim which Kim foolishly stays in the exact same spot looking at Shego anyway and Shego scratches her on the arm which actually shows red marks indicating that her arm is bleeding and the suit is torn where the shot land. Kim manages to flip over to another beam and wait as her suit covers the wound up. Nice one there Kim. It's also nice to show blood even if it isn't flowing like in Gargoyles; or some of the Morgana scene changers in Darkwing Duck. So we fight on the beam (which contains a flight of stairs I should point out) as Shego and Kim miss every shot they deliver to the other (Kim uses a blue arm shield for some of the shots to block Shego's green aura shots) as we cut to Ron cheering Kim on despite Kim being force to dodge the attacks and Ron shadow punches not noticing sumo ninja coming up from behind as Ron unintentionally elbows him in the ribs and then elbows him in the face and that causes sumo ninja to fall on his back and is dead basically. You know you are a jobber for life when THAT happens. Ron turns around and apologizes; before recoiling and slapping skin with Rufus. And then at exactly one hour of this movie; Ron's pants fall down, because he's Ron. HAHA!

So we continue dodging and then we start going inside as Kim and Shego block their shots at close range. Shego starts taunting Kim with words about how cute Erik is and dating him after Kim is murdered; so Kim gets all nasty and does the dozen fist of the Middleton star which causes a flash and makes contact with Shego's face as she goes flying into the beam of a wall and drops down to the ground knocked out. Kim turns around and Erik comes down the elevator proclaiming that Kim really did care about him. Kim is so happy to see Erik and can you smell the heel turn coming; or do I have to spell it out for ya? They embrace as Erik proclaims that he's Synthro Drone #901 (I think originally he was supposed to be #911; but BS&P disallowed it for obvious reasons) and he fries Kim with the Wii U beams and Kim is out cold. Ron runs in ready to murder Erik with his monkey powers; so Shego absolutely MURDERS him with a lariat which Ron does a 450 sell only matched by Shawn Michaels in the late 1980's. We get a FPS shot of Ron's eyes closing as Shego goes over to Erik and laughs as this completes Erik's heel turn for good. So we fade to black and return with Ron's perspective as he wakes up and he sees Bueno Nacho stuff and thinks he's in heaven. We discover that he's tied up to a giant burrito model while Kim is tied up to a CACTUS JACK OF DOOM and she slowly wakes up. Ron is glad that she's alive as Kim is upset that she couldn't see through his fakeness as Ron claims that Synthro Drones are so fake and then he gets repulsed that she kissed a Synthro Drone and Kim claims that she never kissed him (which is true I guess); but she wanted to. Ron calls this too much information as Ron asks Kim for plans; and Kim is coming up blank. Ron blows it off as quitter talk as Kim goes on about Drakken winning this one for once and she should have stuck to babysitting. Ron blows her off because he played Kim; but that doesn't mean that he has won.

It's hard to take this BSOD seriously because Ron is the playing the pathos on this one; but there is no way in this era that they are going to top "Poppa Bear; I still think you are the best" moment from A Bad Reflection On You Part Two; but this is more than serviceable enough and it advances the plot because Ron does like Kim as a real friend, it still feels real enough to be taken seriously in spite of Ron's comical nature and Ron's speech on "there are real and better boyfriends out there" is really good; so I think it's probably in the top ten in terms of heartwarming moments. It's just that Kim Possible is competing against TaleSpin which has a much harder road to convince since that world doesn't have any humans in it (thus the "god hate furries" meme) and it ends with Rufus coming out of the pocket as he wasn't captured which shows that Shego is stupid. Kim is happy to see him as Rufus tries to chew through the ropes; but no go. Then we notice that the backpack is on the floor; for no reason. Rufus scampers to the backpack as Ron wants the lipstick laser as Rufus goes into the backpack and puts lipstick on himself which is real. HAHA! Kim tells him the other lipstick as Rufus goes through another pocket and he finds it and shoots it. He shoots the ropes off of Kim and Ron as they drop down to the ground without further incident and looks into the backpack. She grabs the electromagnetic scrambler and puts it into the scrambler and it's now time for one of the most epic finishes ever. The kind that I wish Disney had done in TaleSpin; if Michael Eisner didn't treat that series as filler for the Disney Afternoon block. Yeah; I'm still bitter as hell. What a shock?

So we head to Drakken's computer center as Drakken watches on as the Crimson Chin rejects turn some knobs and we have the big ass sound wave generator pole slowly coming out from the roof of the headquarters and launches high in the skies as storm clouds, rain and thunderbolts ensue. Wow; I really am watching TaleSpin now. I am so loving this setup as the Satan Robots of Death fly into the sky as they have grown full size and look nasty as they are shown on monitors showing the robots flying in the skies all over the world. Then we get a really epic panning west of the goons and then a epic pan with epic music playing right towards Drakken. Drakken smiles like an evil bastard as we see more footage of the robots flying over various cities and then cut back to Drakken (with Shego and Erik in the background; which Erik is wearing a red/black bodysuit now) crackles with glee recapping Nakasumi's robot design, James cybernetic breakthrough and one Synthro Drone hottie as Drakken comes over and slaps skin with Erik which Drakken gets the worst of. HAHA! Shego invokes the Gruffi pose asking that he didn't make it up as he went along. Drakken blows her off as Shego mocks him for having slumber parties which leads to Drakken pointing out Kim's fatal weakness which is; Drakken, you can say it now...

Drakken: BOYS! BOYS! BOYS!

Sadly; that line would become Bob Iger's excuse for launching Disney XD which even the reasonable critics out there do not like. And that's a bad thing for Disney since the reasonable people are often the ones who are more likely to convince the kids that Disney XD was a bad idea. Drakken's acting is just awesome here and it's the perfect setup of "Pride Before The Big Fall" angle to commence. Drakken dances around mocking Kim's dance partners and he gets on his knees right in the perfect position for Kim Possible to show up right in front of him. Remember Drakken: pride doth come before the big fall. Kim proclaims that dating and boys are hard; but MURDERING Drakken in the kisser with her fist is easy. HA! Drakken rolls into the control panel and does the Ron Tussien spot for fun. Now that was one wicked punch; would have been even better if they didn't do it like Baloo's punch on Martin Torque in From Here To Machinery; but this will do nicely. Drakken yells for Shego and here we go again. Kim backflips Shego into the wall and she goes splat; then Kim steps on Erik's face and jumps onto the stairs while Erik turns around. Okay; so BS&P has no problems with direct contact to the face as long as it's a robot. Sadly; this implies that kids are not dumber than dirt and thus won't do the same thing to a real person. So Ron runs in and taunts Erik (by not calling him Erik anymore) and it is ON BABEE! Erik punches and misses Ron so Ron backflip kicks and manages to spin Erik's head backwards. This...is...AWESOME! Erik screws his head on straight and both babyfaces are repulsed by it. Kim runs up to the roof to where the tower pole is (the thing which is causing the sound and making the robot go killer) in the thunder and rain. Shego steals the scrambler gun and it goes into the air somehow even though the smoke from Shego's hands implied that the gun was melted. Unless the rain is causing it so I'll give the writers the benefit of the doubt here.

Ron runs in and tries to grab the scrambler on the way down; but Erik busts through the roof and grabs the scrambler. He also blows off Rufus; and calls him gross which just pisses off both Ron and Rufus. YOU DON'T DISS THE NAKED MOLE RAT~! HE RULES OVER ALL OF YOU; INCLUDING KP~! So Ron trips up Erik and he falls and the scrambler gun slides down the floor. It nearly falls over the roof; but Rufus manages to slide in safe and grab the scrambler while using his toes to hand on to the edge of the roof and puts it into his mouth before panting and dropping the scrambler on the roof. Ron tries some more monkey kung fu; so Erik roundhouse kicks him in the face and Ron goes splat into the wall and that was one ultra sick bump there. Ron is back first on the roof as Erik tries to squash Ron's face; but Ron blocks it with his hand. Rufus slides the scrambler gun to Ron. Ron grabs it and throws it to Kim. Kim and Shego blow each other off and dodge their blows until Kim nails Shego and causes her to slide all the way to the edge of the roof as she hangs on for dear life. So Kim grabs the scrambler and shoots the RED ARROW MAGNET SPARK OF DOOM towards the tower as Drakken screams in pain that this plan is dead; but somehow Erik does the SPONGEBOB TRICK OF DEATH and catches it right on the top of the tower. Erik apologizes for that; so Kim taunts Erik for blowing off Rufus earlier in the fight because according to Ron; Rufus holds a Vinnie Mac style personal grunge as Rufus goes over and bites Erik on the ankle as green goo like blood pours out of the ankle and Erik screams no and flips backwards causing the arrow to land flush with the electrical sound tower and we get Wii sparks as the tower gets destroyed and the computers all explode in the computer central control and the robots in the general area all shrink and stop running. So we go through Japan as we see denizens running away from the giant killer robots firing lasers on the building and doing almost as much damage as Don Karnage in Plunder and Lightning. If these writers were inspired by that movie; GOOD...FOR...THEM! I wish this would happen to every new Disney show because it would certainly get the quality up for sure.

Anyhow; we see a mother and her child running away and really getting killed in the process by the laser and the debris ( Rebecca/Molly Plunder and Lightning IV; just saying...) dropping face first on the pavement. They both rise up as the robots stop in their tracks; shrink down and die as one of the robots drops near the girl in the blue shirt and she comes over and hugs the doll. HAHA! The mother is in shock after all this as we cut back to Drakken seeing all this robot toys falling from the heavens and his plans are dead and done. This leads to one of the biggest payoffs to an angle that started back with the very first episode of Kim Possible. Remember all those times (including this movie) where Drakken keeps forgetting Ron's name just to piss off Ron? Well; here is the moment I have been waiting for; the quotes if you please...

Drakken: {looking panicky} Okay; maybe she is all that. {Drakken tries to bail stage left; but Ron trips him and Drakken slams his face onto the roof.}
Ron: {looking pissed off} Taking over the world is one thing, but YOU RUINED BUENO NACHO! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY! {hands on the hips.}
Drakken: You cannot be serious.
Ron: NOTE SERIOUS FACE! {He points at his face.}
Drakken: {gets up and begs} Please...the name escape escapes me. Oh; I beg of you!
Ron: {hisses} Say...My...Name! SAY IT!
Drakken: {stammers} Uh...It's....oh...Ron...STOPPABLE! {Zoom out and thunderclap organ music plays.}
Ron: Boo-ya.

What a payoff? We all knew Drakken knew Ron's name and just was screwing with his mind because after dozens of episodes with him facing Ron and Kim; he couldn't have forgotten Ron's name all these many times; so it had to be mind games and when Ron finally got pissed off enough to make him pay for screwing with his favorite eatery; Drakken finally admitted in his own way that he was screwing with Ron's mind all along and now the feud is over. Or so we thought...Shego finally gets up and walks to the door; but Kim blocks it and asks Shego what she really hates; and Shego answers: her date melted. Kim blows her off because she hates Shego. And this leads to one of the scariest moments in DTVA history: scarier than Cubbi stripping naked on-screen, scarier than Baloo splatting on his head in Polly Wants A Treasure, scarier than Goliath bleeding from the hand, and much scarier than watching Quack Pack; while taking valium. Kim kicks Shego in the face which is not the scary part; the scary part is Shego goes flying into the electric tower and she slams into the tower; fries right on cue, drops and the entire tower collapses and she even teases being killed in storyline basically as the tower squashes her like a bug off-screen. If I remember correctly from the creators; the original plan was to kill off Shego right there; but the focus group who saw it watched at the time hated it so much and thought it was way too scary (which tells me the focus group was the "liberal adults" of the 700 Club.) that after the epic zoom in of Kim Possible looking on with a slight smile on her face and the thunderbolts clapping in the background: We zoom in to Drakken in the prison truck (which was fully expected) complaining about this not being over as we zoom out we see Shego is alive and her hair's busted; but otherwise is fine. And the Crimson Chin rejects are caught too as Ron shuts the back of the police truck and proclaims that it's over.

I would have compromised on the scene and have it pan over to Kim watching Shego being carried into a hospital truck on a stretcher and show Shego barely clinging onto life; even whispering revenge on Kim before going into a coma. But that is just me and it shouldn't matter since Kim, Ron and Rufus beat the crap out of Drakken and Shego decisively. The feud is over....at least in theory. More on that in the Review Line...The police truck rides away from Bueno Nacho's headquarters (I guess the exit is stage left since they are driving towards the headquarters. Kim goes to Ron and they hold hands and Kim wants to leave now because there is still one last thing to do. Ron is confused...One more thing: There was supposed to be a photographer in this movie and the photographer was voiced by Taylor Gerald Hart and he started off in 1980 as a child actor in School Boy Father. He then disappeared until 2001 as a model twin (uncredited) in Zoolander. Kim Possible is his only DTVA appearance. Famous and The Option ARM are his most recent credits. He has 23 acting credits, five producer credits (Apples & Oranges, If I Can't Have You, The Graveyard Shift, Nice Tie Italiano!), 3 other credits (Humboldt County, I Could Never Be Your Woman) and even did stunts for Chasing 3000. So we head back to Middleton Gym where the dance has come to a halt as one of the janitors (with glasses on) has an iPad like device showing television footage of the Diablos dying all over the world as the April Winchell announcer proclaims that Kim Possible has saved the day and even Brick Flagg loves it and slaps skin with Monique. HAHA! Bonnie blows him off; so Brick turns on Bonnie and decides to dance with Monique. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Bonnie is clearly not a people person as we see the door and in comes Kim and Ron in their dance gear holding hands together. So Bonnie mocks Kim and Ron as a bunch of losers and guess what? No one buys what Bonnie is selling as they no sell her and CHEER the lovely couple. BOO YA!

So we dim the lights and invoke the blue strobe light as the couple look at each other. We begin the music as they stand still. Rufus comes out of the pocket of Ron's pants and he pushes both Ron and Kim forward; as they even kept the continuity of Kim's dress which the bottom edges burned earlier. So they finally break the ice and dance as we have the final song of the movie which is "Could It Be?" and you couldn't ask for a better ending outside of TaleSpin nor Gargoyles as Ron is officially Kim's boyfriend for life now. We do a classy dance around for a while as the others join in. We also get the lights changing colors and a shot of the disco ball for good measure. Kim and Ron embrace each other as they dance while Rufus and Monique stand by the record player and records table while Bonnie continues to sulk (and invoke the Gruffi Pose) and wonders where it went all so wrong. I think we all know why..HEE HEE! Brick Flagg eats cheesies on a plate to annoy her as the happy couple dances some more. Kim and Ron tease the big kiss and they kiss each other on the lips and it's a whopper of a kiss as it lasts for about ten seconds before we cut to outside Middleton High School with the final sign saying "The End" as we pan up to a shot of the moon and that ends the television movie at 69:55. The Tweebs tried; the logic break squad tried; but the epic finish and ending denies both of them. This is the best "series finale" ever. If only it really was the series finale. ***** (100%) + a hearty F*** YOU to the clueless Kim Possible fans out there. Couple of notes: The Disney Channel version had a few lines changed; a slightly different remix of the ending song (with one line change) and the end credits used the original KP ending only it was extended. Also; because of BS&P; the underwater scene is cut from the DC version; but is on the DVD which is one minute and 12 seconds long. So in the DVD version; there was 2 and half minutes of footage added (although 1:15 is the extras which have no sounds effects and post production added; just the voices); a remix of the song; black background scrolling ending; and a few lines changed. It's nothing compared to the 127 cut hatchet job that Plunder and Lightning suffered.

THE REVIEW LINE

Well; the movie is over and I loved it still. Yeah; the Tweebs ruined some of the dramatic scenes of Kim and Erik with their stupidity and there were a few dumb logic breaks. However; everything else was as good as it was going to be. Is this better than Plunder and Lightning? No. Is it better than all the series finales in DTVA? Without question; yes. It was epic (although the normal scenes were slow to rant on); the action was awesome; more so in the end when they paid off all the angles from the show: Bueno Nacho being no longer just an eatery; Ron getting his revenge on Drakken, Rufus getting revenge on Erik for dissing him, Kim almost killing Shego, and Drakken went up to Don Karnage levels of nastiness and heeldom with his Satan Robots he stole from the loins of Nakasumi. The beginning was awesome and they did the little things from non verbal cues to verbal comedy in the sumo ninja after the atomic wedgie angle which was paid off with Ron killing sumo dead with the back elbow to the face. Erik was an awesome foil; you had to literally watch the clues carefully before you realized that Erik was a robot and he really did well to make Ron looked freaked out through out it while he looked smooth and cool to Kim. It's not hard to have sympathy for Kim after this because she was taken in by a professional robot and a mad scientist who wasn't nearly as stupid as before. The animation was great; including the animation of dozens of robots which now officially makes me a believer in Toon Boom and CGI now as it got over on free television. CGI isn't a surprise as fans of Mainframe Entertainment would tell you over and over again; but Toon Boom earned it's crew cut here and there is no way hand drawn animation with cells is going to make a comeback now. And after this; it shouldn't. I think the Disney style can come back with or without cell animation; it's just the old farts who don't like technology without noticing the irony of it all. And of course; I loved Kim and Ron together after this and could not wait for the fans to write fanfics about their post adventures on the Internet. And there were fans who did that sort of thing...

However; Kim Possible didn't end right here didn't it? Because many of the fans got extremely pissy. WARNING! ANGRY GREGORY WEAGLE RANT COMMENCING!

At the time of the release of Kim Possible; there was a slew of fans who got it inside their heads that Michael Eisner was a senile, evil guy who would crush the hopes and dreams of fans who enjoyed the show by stopping the show at 65 episodes and no more would be made regardless of the ratings or quality of said show. So they wrote on-line petitions, editorials and pretty much did everything I did to save TaleSpin because I believed that this could change the course of Disney. But after seeing on-line petitions in practices proving that none of them work unless it is government work (since governments are often elected and thus screwing the public over was not an option since they could be voted out of office); I gave up on them and decided to admit that TaleSpin was never coming back. The fact that we got DVD sets and such was more luck than petitions. If it wasn't; the rumored comic books with Marvel would have been announced a long time ago. Also; at around this time; Roy Disney was on the attack on Michael Eisner and SaveDisney.com was born in an effort to get Michael out of office so Disney could return to it's roots. Needless to say; that had limited success at best since Michael got fired and Iger did manage to try to bring the old Disney back; but the box office said it all that Disney could never get over on old. More on this later. Anyhow; the Kim Possible fans were not about to let Kim Possible die like TaleSpin and Rescue Rangers did in 1989-1991 (never mind that Fox screwed Disney out of a broadcast deal and TaleSpin had BS&P nightmare written all over it) and so they pressured Disney to make Kim Possible go beyond 65 episodes. Toonzone even had to ban all discussions on the 65 episode rule and Michael Eisner because users like Tucson Coyote were acting all irrational about animation dying and Michael Eisner hating shows that weren't over anymore without realizing that even the best shows cannot last forever. Even the Simpsons and Family Guy will die off; it's just that soap opera style cartoons last a lot longer than most cartoons out there. Because people relate to them completely compared to the rest; most so the adults.

Michael Eisner could have easily ignored them; but then something strange happened: He LISTENED to them and Kim Possible went on for another season. Now this is nothing against the creators who made Kim Possible great because I'm sure that they would have had no problem bringing the show back because it was Kim Possible and she was so over at this point; she was overshadowing feature even more than TaleSpin could ever do. And that is saying something. However; there was one big problem with this: Kim Possible had closure. Drakken and Shego were destroyed. We had BLUE FISH SUIT Kim and Ron physically and spiritually beat the crap out of the number 1 heel duo of the show. The feud is OVER! So what happens? Two episodes into Season four; they start by having Shego and Drakken put the heat back on Kim and Ron again. WHO CAN BLOODY CARE NOW?! Also the post dance stuff was a letdown. It wasn't as memorable as the first three seasons of the show which would have been if Kim and Ron had a new number one heel duo to play with instead of bringing back Shego and Drakken. Or they could have DNAmy and Monkeyfist teaming up for real. Or even some of the more minor villains becoming stars. This would have worked better and put it a step above TaleSpin; who was notorious for having dozens of heels and babyfaces who got monster over in their one episode appearance; but never came back. And this is no disrespect to Don Karnage, but he was overused. If it wasn't for his comical nature; he would have died like Duke Igthorn did in Gummi Bears. TaleSpin never got closure. Why? Because it was treated as filler. Rescue Rangers never got closure. Why? Because Disney was bashing Bugs Bunny with their stupid FUD. Darkwing Duck didn't get closure and neither did Goof Troop; for unknown reasons. Bonkers sort of got one; Ducktales got two, Gummi Bears got two. Gargoyles got one and then got it pissed away by Disney who made Chronicles without Greg Weissman's guidance and basically give it to Nelevana; who is a decent Canadian company; but was at their best making original content and not Disney content. Gargoyles fans deny that saga ever existed even though we know the show existed no matter how much the fans deny it.

Kim Possible fans were playing Russian Roulette with Michael Eisner and despite a valiant effort from the creators of Kim Possible because the last 22 episodes of the fourth season were far from terrible like Chronicles was; but it wasn't the same quality. They sort of blew it by bringing back Shego and Drakken three episodes into the fourth season and by doing that the show jumped the shark and basically limped all the way to Graduation which was no where near as good as So The Drama was; which also included the insult of having Shego and Drakken teaming together with Kim and Ron. It's basically a better version of Just A Tad Smarter in some ways. Finally; the show stopped right there and Michael Eisner got exactly what he wanted: He got the fans to turn on the show and gave him the excuse he needed to cancel the show and move on to other stuff. And who demanded this to happen? Answer: The very fans of this show. They should have let it stop at So The Drama. Yes; it got 65 episodes; but it got closure and it was the best series finale in history. TaleSpin never got that. Kim Possible could have gone down in history as the true TaleSpin killer and it blew it because their fans thought rebelling against Michael Eisner would be so cool. Well; it backfired and it hurt Kim's reputation because instead of going out with a bang in So The Drama; she ended in a whimper finale 22 episodes later. Besides; we saw Ducktales with 100 episodes and a movie; and after Super Ducktales; the nephews went to crap and the episode quality went down with the allegory being Bubba's Big Brainstorm (and let's not forget the Kaboom Ducktales Third Issue debacle that happened recently). Gummi Bears wasn't much better; Darkwing Duck did okay, and I'm not sure about Goof Troop and you already know my feelings on Gargoyles Chronicles. What the Kim Possible fans didn't realize is that the reason why Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network can run Spongebob Squarepants, Fanboy & Chum Chum, Fairly Oddparents and the like for ten bloody years or more with new episodes is because they are all kids comedy.

Comedy is EASY and requires little work for the audience to get it over. It is much easier to laugh at the characters than it is to CARE about them. That's why drama didn't last as long as comedy; because empathy requires a lot of hard work and most of the general public is just not going to invest time into caring about fake characters when real human beings in the real world will do. That's why a lot of shows are action/adventure/comedy; because they last longer than action/adventure/drama; unless it's soap opera drama; but again, live action does it better. It just pisses me off as a fan of Kim Possible; because Kim Possible the character finally broke the glass ceiling and got equal footing with the male leads. And then the fans ruined it by giving her middling stuff after a huge finale that should have ended right there. Worse off; thanks to this, Disney started to lapse back into making stereotypical rigid female gender roles and not making them the lead (sometimes they were a lead) in other shows. Disney went further and further into the demographic pool that boys were watching Disney XD and most boys wouldn't bother watching Disney in general because it went all live action female (which there is nothing wrong with it; but the way they were doing it was to please girls who liked being pandered as rigid females and not please any female who didn't want to be pandered in a rigid gender role.) and any cartoons would be for girls or for boys with no crossover appeal; like Kick Buttowski and Fish Hooks. Phineas & Ferb and Gravity Falls are the lone exceptions and GF is fine; and Phineas has been a miracle worker; but it also makes Disney's lineup quite thin in terms of shows which bring in viewers that aren't "rigid gender role females". If the fans would have just let this one go; I think DTVA would have been forced to take the hint and create shows that appealed to everyone; which was something the Disney Afternoon shows did. The difference would be: the female gets to play the lead instead of being A lead.

Sorry about the length of this rant and it's over now. I needed to get this off my chest because it was eating at my thoughts for a long time. And people wonder why PIXAR gets so much praise? Because it doesn't play demographic games. So there is one more episode left to do in 2012 which is A Very Possible Christmas and I look forward to it. I'm don't expect Jolly Molly Christmas; but I do expect a fun one. Then we head to 2013 with Quack Pack which should be a pain to review; yes sire. I should do this on December 22nd; after the reBOOT Christmas Party and get it out of the way quickly. Otherwise; I'm taking two weekends off to enjoy myself; maybe do some prep work for Gargoyles, but otherwise, I'm done. So....

Thumbs way up for this television movie and thumbs way down in hell for the fans and I'll see you all next time.
