Preamble: Wow, I've gone four days in a row without writing about a movie based on a book! I'm so proud of myself. But, I cheated today, this is actually a TV movie but I LOVED Kim Possible growing up. I'm sorry but my generation was the last generation to truly experience Disney at their peak brilliance both in film and TV and Kim Possible was a show that was great and I still occasionally break out the DVDs all by my lonesome and laugh my butt off. The two movies this show produced were great and gave it's audience everything that they could want. If you have kids, let them watch this show, it's great, funny, action packed and actually has a good message that is cleverly hidden in each episode without it coming off preachy.

The Review
This isn't just a film for kids. Motz, Roth and Loter have filled A Sitch in Time with countless jokes, jibes and references that you'd have to be not only an adult to catch, but a quick-witted adult. A Sitch in Time is full of social satire, refreshing irreverence, wonderful surrealism and mind-bending time travel paradoxes.

When I was a kid this movie had an epic feel to it and even now it still seems broad in scope, deep in content, and clever. I love how highly stylized this movie is though I noticed it was farmed out to be drawn and inked by Disney's Asian television animation division but most probably wouldn't notice or even care.

Now it's a little hard to say whether this movie had a budget bigger than its series but the backgrounds are good looking and the animation is well done. The action scenes were sequenced great and the music by TV composer Adam Berry made an energetic score as well. But like most TV movies, the score is never released which is rather disappointing. The only quarrel people might have with this movie is again that it deals with time travel and how messing with the past can alter the future. But all around it's still a lot of fun.

The action is great, the music is energetic and comedy is non-stop. Even if you don't have kids or never watched Kim Possible, maybe give a look.
