Characters (in order of appearance)[]

Plot Summary[]

At the beginning of the school year Ron learns that his family will be moving to Norway. At the same time, Dr. Drakken, Shego, Duff Killigan, and Monkey Fist are working together to steal the Tempus Simia, a.k.a the Time Monkey, a Mystical Monkey idol capable of time-travel to defeat Kim Possible once and for all.

Mission[]

Villains[]

Evil plot[]

Steal the Time Monkey and destroy Kim Possible by attacking her at a point where she is most vulnerable in the past.

Personal Storyline[]

Part 1: "Present"[]

It is the beginning of a new school year for Kim and Ron, but the start of their fun year is ruined when Ron finds out he is moving to Norway. He, Rufus, and Kim say goodbye and agree to do whatever it takes for them to keep fighting crime together. Meanwhile, Dr. Drakken, Shego, Duff Killigan, and Monkey Fist team up to steal the Time Monkey, a small statuette used to travel through time. With help from her computer guru Wade and Monique, Kim follows the villains to Australia as they steal the head of the Time Monkey, but the villains connect the head to the body inside the Time Monkey's temple in Africa, and they escape through the resulting time portal.

Part 2: "Past"[]

Shortly afterward, Kim is visited by a large ripped talking mole rat from the future, a descendant of Rufus named Rufus 3000, who gives Kim a time-travel device called the Chronal-Manipulator, and explains that "The Supreme One" is preparing to take over the world. Meanwhile, Drakken, Killigan, and Monkey Fist turn themselves into little children and travel back in time to Kim's first day in preschool in order to discourage her from becoming a crime fighter. Posing as her schoolmates, the villains try to bully the four-year-old Kim, but she defeats them (not shown as cut to the teenage Kim fighting Shego) and makes friends with Ron, and the high-school-age Kim arrives to fight Shego, who has been observing her accomplices.

With their preschool plot foiled, the villains turn back into adults and escape forward in time, to a day when Kim and Ron are high-school freshmen. When a billionaire traps himself in the web of deadly laser beams that guard his vault, his security expert accidentally contacts Kim through her new babysitting website, so, after a neighbor drives Kim and Ron to the billionaire's mansion, Kim uses her cheerleading gymnastic skills to jump through the laser beams and save the billionaire. Monkey Fist goes into the past and retrieves a huge rock gorilla, which attacks Kim, but teenage Kim and Ron appear, and teenage Ron destroys the rock gorilla by accidentally activating the security lasers.

The police officers arrest Drakken, Killigan, and Monkey Fist, but Shego (after being visited by her future self while watching the fight) escapes with the Time Monkey into the future, where she will take over the world and become "The Supreme One." Rufus 3000 then arrives and reveals to Kim that "The Supreme One" is Shego, not Drakken, stating to her that he thought it was obvious that Shego is the only one smart enough to actually take over the world. Kim then activates the time portal, and she, Ron, Rufus, and Rufus 3000 go into the future to stop her.

Part 3: "Future"[]

In the future, Shego has become the dictator of the world and made everyone her slaves. Kim and Ron are captured and sent to their old high school to be brainwashed by obedience collars, but they are rescued by Kim's twin brothers, Jim and Tim, along with Rufus 3000 and an army of naked mole rats. After escaping, the twins reveal that their parents led the great Moon migration and are living on the moon along with Ron's parents. The twins take Kim and Ron to the secret headquarters of the political resistance movement, whose leader is Wade. Together, they and all of the Rufuses sneak into Shego's castle by the sewers, where they fight their way past the villains and an army of monkeys to the room where Shego keeps the Time Monkey.

At the castle, Kim battles a ripped and super-strong Drakken and is joined by her friend, Monique, who is now a fighter and also against Shego, but are easily defeated. At the same time, Ron got trapped on a statue of a broken pillar, but managed to free himself (by taking off his shirt) to get the Time Monkey, but only to be stopped and hurled away by Shego. After capturing Kim and her friends, Shego reveals that she broke up the team by separating Kim and Ron, by opening a bank, making money in the 1990s stock-market boom, and transferring Ron's mother to Norway by offering her a very well-paying job, in order to send Ron far away as possible to keep him and Kim apart, to enable her to take over the world. Her reason being that while together, Kim and Ron actually make a decent team, but if they were apart, they could not stop her. In his anger at having to live in Norway, eating Meat Cakes, and the destruction of his favorite restaurant, Ron hurls Drakken across the room with unexpected strength, surprising everyone, the twins, Wade, and Rufus 3000 knocked Monkey Fist and Duff Killigan down and break out of their chains, and Ron, while tapping into his mystical monkey power, unintentionally causes a series of pillars to topple like dominoes and collapse, causing the Time Monkey to fall to the floor and break, undoing all the effects of Shego's time travel, this causes Kim, Ron, and Rufus to float through a time portal, Shego attempts to attack them to prevent them from going back to their own time, but only to be defeated by Kim knocking her away by kicking her back to the ground. The trio float through the time portal and travel back to the first scene of the film: At the end of their first school day.

At the moment when the first time disturbance occurred, a wave of time distortion washes over Kim and Ron, and when the moment has passed, the world has been restored to its original state and the two teens and Rufus have lost all memories of the events of the adventure, giving the three headaches, except that Ron knows that he hates Meat Cakes, which he was forced to eat in Norway.

Memorable Quotes[]

Kim: Ron, I couldn't saved the world without you.

Shego: Allow me to make you history.

Baby Ron: Did that one kid have opposable toes?

Baby Kim: You're weird, but I like you.

Future Shego: Listen closely...

Shego: I can't believe it, I told Drakken a thousand times: No clones.

Future Shego: I am not a clone.

Shego: You're not?

Future Shego: I am you from the future.

Shego: Ugh, I hate time travel.

Rufus 3000: Wasn't it clear that Shego was the ONLY one smart enough to take over the world?

Ron: Um, excuse me, scary orb thing. Where are you taking us?

Robot: The Attitude Adjustment Center.

Kim: Isn't that the high school?

Robot: Prepare to be drained of all individuality and spirit.

Team Possible's Transportation[]

Various, but mostly a wrist-mounted chronal-manipulator device.

Allusions[]

In the future, Ron falling to his knees in front of the destroyed Bueno Nacho is an allusion to the ending of the original Planet of the Apes when Charlton Heston's character did the same by the half-buried Statue of Liberty.

Trivia[]

A running gag throughout the movie is Ron mistaking any non-English language for another.
Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time is the first Kim Possible movie, premiering on November 28, 2003. Originally broadcast as a movie, it is available on DVD as a single movie with slight differences in editing and music selection.
When this episode airs by itself instead of the movie, the scene where Ron asked Wade if he had a matter transporter is cut out.
For the iTunes, it is presented as three episodes: "Present", "Past", and "Future".
First aired as part of the Disney Channel TV movie A Sitch in Time (11/28/03).
Whenever Ron's parents have something big to tell him, they prefer to let actions speak for themselves. This is apparent throughout the series. In this episode, when asking about them moving, his father replied "The sign was our way of telling you". Another instance is when Ron is taken by surprise of his new baby sister in the episode Big Bother.

Ron's hatred towards Norway is mentioned again in the game Kim Possible 3: Team Possible in 2005.

It is possible Bonnie Rockwaller, Kim's arch rival, may have been on the cheer leading squad longer than Kim, since she was a judge at the tryouts for the squad. If this is true, this may be why Bonnie feels that she should be the squad captain instead of Kim. When Kim had braces, Bonnie used to call her "Tin Teeth".
- Contrary to popular opinion, the girls with preteen Bonnie were not Tara and Hope. The blonde's hair and eyes are all wrong, as is the shape of the noirette's face.

Errors[]

Every instance of Kim and Ron time traveling was accomplished by the chronal-manipulator wrist watch. Why would they be sucked into the magical portal at the end? It did not move them at any point.
At the end, Kim and Ron are physically scooped up by the portal, yet do not physically arrive in the past, where they already were physically.
When Kim is let out of the sarcophagus in the museum, her hair is messed up. When the camera comes back a moment later, her hair is perfect again.
When Kim is looking in the Latin dictionary, she is at "T" but she flips left and is at "S" when S is before T.
As Kim and Ron pull apart from each other post-hug, Kim's hand goes through Ron's neck and Ron's hand goes through Kim's side.
When preteen Kim finishes her try-out routine, Bonnie bites off part of her pencil. When you next see it, the pencil is whole.
When the four villains open the time portal for the first time, everyone walks through- in order- Monkey Fist, Shego, and then Drakken. We never see Duff walk through; however, he is later shown with all the villains as if he did so.
Kim, in the pilot episode "Crush", in season one, saw Ron hold out Rufus after he found him in his pocket and asked Ron, when she saw Rufus: "A Naked Mole Rat?" like she did not know all along that Ron had Rufus when Ron showed him to her, production wise, in their sophomore year, but in this episode Ron shows Rufus to Kim for the first time years before, while on a mission in the past.
- Though even before Kim said "A naked mole rat?" she showed that she knew about Rufus
It should be called into question how Rufus had descendants if he was lost in the time stream, as he was not shown to have left behind a child.
- Probably not directly blood related, but designed/produced in the same fashion, making Rufus the Prime Prototype.
