She can do anything     Supervillains Dr. Drakken (a big blue guy), Shego (sexy green-jumpsuited sidekick), Monkey Fist (and his army with monkey ninjas) and Duff Killigan (the world's most dangerous golfer) use time manipulation to break up the team of teen superspy Kim Possible and her goofy best friend Ron Stoppable.  It might be best if you caught a few episodes of the Disney Channel's fast and funny Kim Possible series before tackling A SITCH IN TIME, since the time-traveling plot is used to satirize the whole series, its characters and the world in general.

     That being said, there is something rotten in Hollywood when a direct to video Disney movie adapted from a kid's cartoon series is funnier and more imaginative than many of the mainstream comedies I have seen in the past five years. As in the show, Christy Carlson Romano and Will Friedle are perfect voicing the film's heroes Kim and Ron, while Futurama's John Di Maggio and King of Queen's Nicole Sullivan help make the foolish Dr. Drakken and his sidekick Shego the greatest animated villain team since Boris and Natasha. The animation is simple yet stylish, the voice work of the guest stars excellent, and the dialogue often offbeat and hilarious. Pure fun for kids as well as for adults who appreciate smart humor and animated films that don't moralize or take themselves too seriously. 4 - JB
