(More customer reviews)At the time of this writing, the Kim Possible special, "So The Drama" has just been telecast. Intended to be the series finale, the plot involves the show's villainous Dr. Drakken finally figuring out a rather comprehensive scheme to take out his arch-nemesis Kim Possible.
The story is "angsted" up from the usual goings-on in the series, with the music just a bit edgier, the action just a tad more violent (Shego, Drakken's evil hench-woman actually draws blood on Kim, at one point), and even through there's a realization that this is set in the cartoon world, there's a serious tone to this film.
This made-for-tv special does something that few Disney Animated TV series have actually done, and that's resolve a loose end that haa been materializing throughout the program, and in particular the last five episodes. Here, Kim, the heroine, and her comic assistant, Ron Stoppable, are growing up. Ron has little to offer the beautiful high-schooler save his loyalty, and being the underdog ---well, after this film, things will never be same between them.
While the animation is sub-par compared to Disney's theatrical releases, the fact that the budget has been cranked up shows. And certain choreographed action scenes show the work the writers and producers put into this climax. The fight scenes between Kim and Shego are certainly more intense than anything we've ever seen on a regular episode. Still, certain moments feel rushed, and a slight dramatic pause or two would have helped the emotional intensity of what's going on.
The DVD release is supposed to include the never-before episode "Gorilla Fist" which also slightly hints at the events in "So the Drama," and there are also some extended or deleted scenes that had to be cut from the film due to time.
Have to confess, I wish the DVD had commentary from series director, Mr. Loter, and other producers.
"So the Drama" deserves credit for taking a few chances for a Disney series, when it could have been safer for the writers and producers not to. Hopefully some of the other Disney continuing series might learn something from this.
Even though this may be the last Kim Possible adventure, I hope this DVD will encourage a return from KP and Ron Stoppable in the future. Sincerely,

Kim Possible is ready to save the world (again) in this action-packed, seriously exciting adventure. Here's the sitch: Dr. Drakken has an evil new plot for world domination, but his ultimate success depends upon finding out KP's weakness. Could it have anything to do with a certain new hottie named Eric? Kim is definitely distracted by the prom date drama. Meanwhile, Ron is up to his eyeballs in strange little Diablo Devil toys when his favorite food joint, Buenos Nachos, crosses over to the dark side. Now he's acting like such a dweeb -- just when Kim needs him most! If Dr. D can keep up the pressure, KP will SO have to surrender! But it's not over till it's SO over! Don't miss all the undercover adventure, explosive action, and never-before-seen DCOM-Extra bonus features in Disney’s KIM POSSIBLE MOVIE: SO THE DRAMA.
