About

Kim Possible is an American animated Disney series created by Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley about the adventures of Kim Possible, a teenage crime fighter who faces worldwide and personal issues each day.

Premise

The show follows Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible (Christy Carlson Romano), a fiery and demanding teenager who saves the world on a regular basis while dealing with the normal challenges of a teenager. Her sidekick, Ron Stoppable (Will Friedle), is a clumsy, goofball teenager who owns a naked mole-rat named Rufus (Nancy Cartwright). The pair receive help from Wade (Tahj Mowry), who often supplies her with gadgets and information. Together, the team fight against villains, mainly Doctor Drakken (John DiMaggio) and his sidekick Shego (Nicole Sullivan), who often try to dominate the world.

History
