Kim Possible "Crush" Review

 


Disney have alot of really good TV shows on their however what alot of you might nit realise is back in the early 2000's Disney had sixty five episode limit rule on all shows. Well there was a few shows that broke that rule because of how popular they were and i'm going to talk about one of them today and o then join me as I review an episode of the show that has such a good theme song and intro sequence to it with the show it self being Kim Possible and the episode in question being called simply just "Crush" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when the evil Dr. Drakken launches his latest evil scheme to take over the world using giant robot it's up to Kim Possible to stop[ him before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being rather enjoyable and was also just as fun as you'd expect from a Kim Possible episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Christy Carlson Romano as Kim Possible , Will Friedle as Ron Stoppable and Nancy Cartwright as Rufus. Also starring in this episode is Tahj Mowry as Wade , Dan Castellaneta as Drakken's Henchmen , Gary Cole as Dr. James Possible , John DiMaggio as Dr. Drakken and Henrich , Shaun Fleming as Jim & Tim Possible , Breckin Meyer as Josh Mankey , Roz Ryan as Wade's Mom , Jean Smart as Dr. Ann Possible , Kirsten Storms as Bonnie Rockwaller , Tara Strong as Britina , Kyoko Yoshiko and A Robot and Nicole Sullivan as Shego and The Computer Voice.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which really isn't all that surprising given just how good that this voice cast is and what really does help is that all of these characters are so well cast so much so that it's hard to picture anybody voicing these characters.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rough Draft Korea. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty alot better then what I remember it being with this episodes animation also being alot better then what it really had any right to be as the episode that got in this episode was well and truly that good.


I have to admit that I really hated the romance angle in this episode and while yes I do that Kim Possible did deal with real life teen issues. The issue I had with the romance is that the Josh character has no personality to speak of and so he just comes across as being rather bland and wooden and that's not to mention the fact that he and Kim not only don't spend alot of time together in this episode but they also have no chemistry together which makes me wonder why the makers of this show chose to give with this episode for there series premier or even both including this episode at all as the romance subplot does bring the episode down by really quite a lot.

Speaking of Kim she really is a good example of a strong female character as she's not only a very relatable character that alot of teens can relate to. She also has a personality and flaws that she frequently has to over come in order to beat the bad guy of the week and while this episode isn't perhaps the strongest example of giving Kim flaws it does lay down the ground work for whats to come like showing how she can be pretty vain and to contrast that we also see how strong her friendship is Ron all of which of along way to making her a really strong female character.


While this is an action show it's also a comedy and I have to admit that I really liked the comedy that we got in this episode As alot of this episodes comedy was really funny with alot of the recurring jokes that you remember from this show starting in this episode with perhaps the best joke with the benefit of hindsight being the fact that Kim can just get people tom give her lifts to her missions for no reason which is just so funny because it makes you wonder what it was she actually did to make them feel like the owe her one and it's just a pretty funny recurring joke in general.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and forty seven seconds. Which if memory serves me correctly is pretty much the bog standard running time for alot of Disney Channels shows and to this episodes credit it does make the most that it possibly can do with that running time but I would have liked it if this episode was a tad bit longer just so they could fully flesh out all of the episodes characters and I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it as well.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episodes action being really good and really impressive given that this is a TV show and heck i'd recommend this episode and this show just for the action alone just because the action in this episode is well and truly that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall romance subplot aside this was a really good episode to start this truly iconic show off of with as it gives you everything that you expect from an episode of this show and this episode still holds up all these later in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boy and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Kim Possible fandom wiki page and the official Disney fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Disney fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Disney fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
