Synopsis [ ]

Part 1: "present" [ ].

The film begins at the start of a new school year, when Ron and his family move to Norway , and the villains 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 her friend Monique , Kim follows the villains to Australia as they steal the body and head of the Tempus Simia , or "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. Kim and Ron both realized they lost this mission.

Part 2: "Past" [ ]

Shortly afterward, Kim is visited by a large talking mole rat from the future, a descendent of Rufus named Rufus 3000 , who gives Kim a wristwatch time-travel device, called the Chronal-Manipulator and explains that "The Supreme One" is preparing to take over the world. Meanwhile, Drakken uses a Juvinator on himself, 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 crimefighter. 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 preteens. 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 baby-sitting 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. As police officers arrest Drakken, Killigan, and Monkey Fist, Shego escapes with the Time Monkey into the future, where she will take over the world and become The Supreme One. Teenage Kim and Ron follow her, along with Rufus and Rufus 3000.

Part 3: "Future" [ ]

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

After capturing Kim and her friends, Shego explains that she separated Kim and Ron by making money in the 1990s stock-market boom, buying the company that Ron's mother worked for, and having her transferred to Norway. Keeping Kim and Ron apart enabled her to take over the world. In his anger at having to live in Norway and the destruction of his favorite nacho restaurant , Ron throws Drakken across the room. The twins break out of their chains, the pillars that hold up the palace ceiling collapse, and the Time Monkey falls to the floor and breaks, undoing all the effects of Shego's time travel. This causes Kim, Ron, and Rufus to float through a 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 have lost all memories of the film's events, except that Ron knows he hates meat cakes, which he was forced to eat in Norway.

Gallery [ ]

• This is the first Disney film to have Harrison Fahn voice an animated character, which is the preschooler form of Ron Stoppable.

General [ ]

• This marked the first multi-part episode of a Disney Television Animation series to premiere as a made-for-TV movie/special since the Mighty Ducks series premiere, " The First Face-Off ".
• In the serialized version, the scene where Ron asked Wade if he had a matter transporter is cut out.
• A known censorship was applied in this movie. The sequence where preschool Kim taking down the bad guys is cut to young adult Kim fighting Shego, as the only defeat of the bad guys is them running away scared thinking that she’s gone mad. The reason for this is the film makers thought that it was inappropriate to show a preschooler fighting in a family cartoon and would be too heavy for Dakota Fanning , who was only 9 at the time, to react her voice in a violent sequence.
• On the DVD, the credits feature the song " This Year ". The original television version instead used the series' regular credits background.
• On Disney+ and other on demand services, this film is only available as three separate episodes.
• The events of the fim are erased due to the destruction of the Tempus Simia, but Ron still hate Meat Cakes.

Running Gags [ ]

• A running gag throughout this portion of the movie is Ron mistaking any non-English language for another.
• Every instance of Kim and Ron time traveling was accomplished by the scientific wrist device. Why would they be sucked into the magical portal at the end? It did not move then 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. In the next shot, 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. Duff isn't seen walking through, however he is later shown with all the villains as if he did so.
• 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 wasn't shown to have left behind a child.
• Tempus Simia is said to be the Latin for "Time Monkey," but Latin cannot form descriptive terms merely by adding nouns in the same way English or German do, and "Tempus Simia" would mean something more like "Time is a monkey." Latin would require an adjective Temporalis Simia or a possessive Temporis Simia ("time-related monkey" or "monkey of time").

Continuity [ ]

• 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 .
• 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.

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.

Tempus Simia

The Tempus Simia , or Time Monkey , is a mystical monkey artifact that could potentially be used to transport a person or object to virtually any point in time.

Abilities [ ]

• Time Travel: The Tempus Simia was capable of opening portals/warps in the fabric of time and space, thereby allowing the user to enter and alter the time stream. However, other than the obvious danger of having a negative impact on future events, shattering the Tempus Simia posed an even greater risk. It could either mean the time stream might return relatively to normal, or the unraveling of the fabric of time space, which would bring about the end of the universe.

Owners/Users [ ]

• Monkey Fist
• Dr. Drakken

Monkey Fist devised a plan to unite the two halves of the Tempus Simia . Knowing Team Possible would interfere, he joined forces with Dr. Drakken, Shego, and Duff Killigan . With the idol completed, they traveled back in time in an attempt to first break Kim Possible 's spirit in the past, and then to simply destroy her younger self entirely, so that she would never grow up to hand them all humiliating defeats. Thanks to a wristwatch-like device called the Chronal-Manipulator given to her by a future descendant of Rufus , Kim and Ron pursued them through the time stream and were able to stop their attempts. Shego was approached by a future version of herself that had successfully taken over the world with the Tempus Simia , and so betrayed the group and stole the idol. Kim and Ron followed Shego to the distant future she had conquered. Assisted by future versions of their friends and family, Team Possible was able to destroy the Tempus Simia , which fortunately restored the time stream to normal, and therefore the entire adventure technically never happened.

Gallery [ ]

• Upon the destruction of the Tempus Simia , and despite having physically traveled to the future via chronal-manipulator technology, Kim, Ron, and Rufus were physically  sucked into a temporal vortex. Versions of themselves were already at the destination, and they never arrived physically .

Animation Sunday 2015 #36- Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time

The Kim Possible show came out at the right time in my childhood. A cartoon about a teenaged girl secret agent originally airing in a time where I thought that men were the dominant species made me realize that... hey, these chicks can kick butt. I guess you can say that Kim Possible was my first female crush. And yes, I still love the show to this day. It's an exciting dose of energetic Saturday morning action that's engaging and often times hilarious thanks to its comic villains and the brilliantly developed nerdy and klutzy sidekick character Ron with his cute little naked mole rat Rufus. Though surprisingly, I never…

Recap / Kim Possible A Sitch in Time S 2 E 13

Edit locked.

Ron learns that his family is moving to Norway, separating him from Kim and breaking up Team Possible. They try to carry on by getting separate rides to the mission site, but it doesn't really work out — Ron arrives late the first couple times they try, and without him Kim is far less effective (even with Monique recruited as a substitute partner).

Meanwhile, Drakken, Killigan, and Monkey Fist team up to retrieve the parts of the "Tempus Simia", a monkey idol that, when assembled at the right time and place, is capable of generating time-travel portals.

This episode provides examples of:

• Breaking the Fellowship : Team Possible is split up.
• Call-Back : Ron again shows signs of attraction towards Shego . Ron: You know, in this light, you’re kinda cute!
• The Cavalry Arrives Late : In Team Possible's first mission post-split up, Ron arrives at the museum long after the baddies have made their escape. However, this actually allows him to rescue Kim who was trapped in a sarcophagus.
• Clueless Chick-Magnet : Ron again. A cute blonde Norwegian girl shows interest in him, but he rudely asks her to leave him alone. This time though, he explains he is over blondes.
• Creator's Culture Carryover : While we don't really see much of Ron's life in Norway, we do get to see the very American style cafeteria at his school, complete with grouchy lunch ladies who serve lamb and cabbage stew. Except in Norway, hot lunch isn't really a thing — it's not even a given that a high school cafeteria will have hot food. For lunch, you generally eat sandwiches, and it's far more common for students to bring their lunches from home. And while lamb and cabbage stew is a genuine Norwegian dish, it's strictly a dinner-type meal and nobody would eat it for lunch.
• Dismantled MacGuffin : The Tempus Simia
• Everyone Loves Blondes : Inverted. While he's in Norway, Ron says that he's really tired of the blonde girls.
• Foreign Queasine : While in Norway, Ron is made to eat lamb and cabbage stew, and meatcakes. He is disgusted by the Norwegian meals.
• Gratuitous Latin : Kim's Latin vocabulary lessons reveal the meaning of "Tempus Simia" — "Time Monkey".
• Sand In My Eyes : Towards the end of the episode, Ron tells Kim (via Kimmunicator) that separation has put them too far "out of sync" to work as a team, and that she should go it alone. She reluctantly agrees, and he cries that he's got something in his eyes before signing off.
• Sdrawkcab Name : Team Possible is split up when Mrs. Stoppable is reassigned to Norway by " Ms. Ogehs ".
• Stealth Insult : Ron’s brief “flirting” with Shego is a very backhanded compliment when one thinks about it. He says she looks “kinda cute”, in a dimly lit location, meaning she usually doesn’t. Ron: You know, in this light, you’re kinda cute!
• Surrounded by Idiots : Shego's reaction to a triple dose of supervillain stupidity. “I am stuck with the freak stooges,” she mutters. When she suggests that Drakken, Fist, and Killigan work as a team to put the head on together, they decide not to share.
• Team Rocket Wins : Despite Kim's attempts, the villains succeed in retrieving the Tempus Simia.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork : The three villains squabble incessantly, even (or perhaps especially) when they should be focusing on their objective. Shego is the only one who stays focused: Monkey Fist: Patience. When the idol is near its head, the Tempus Simia will clap. Drakken: There's no such thing as mystical monkey power. Monkey Fist: You wouldn't know mystical monkey power if you held it in your tiny little hands. Killigan: Aye, they are wee small digits. (Tempus Simia starts clapping its cymbals together) Shego: Uh, guys.... Drakken: I'll let my wee fingers do the talking, Mr. Skirty Pants! Shego: Guys.... Monkey Fist: Can you two buffoons take this outside? Killigan: At 30,000 feet? Monkey Fist: Precisely. Shego: Guys! All Three : What? Shego: The monkey clapped.
• Temporary Substitute : Monique acts as a substitute for Ron while he is in Norway.
• Title Theme Drop : When saying goodbye to Ron, Kim says that "You can call me and beep me, if you want to reach me".
• Villain Team-Up : Drakken, Killigan, and Monkey Fist join forces to retrieve the "Tempus Simia". Shego comes along with Drakken, but is treated as hired muscle rather than a full member of the team (not that she really cares what they think — if anything, she is even more contemptuous of the other two than she is of Drakken).
• Welcome to My World : Kim says this to Monique during a battle after Monique is shocked when one of Duff Killigan's golfballs explodes.
• Wham Shot : When Kim sees that "Tempus Simia" in her Latin textbook translates to "Time Monkey".

It comes as no surprise that she's not like any other children, as she tries to escape her classroom to meet Ron Stoppable or Pre-K Ron. He is her best friend and a helpful sidekick but is also her next door neighbor. However, Kim can't do it all by herself. She needs your help to find her way out!

How to play the game

Is Time Travel Possible?

We all travel in time! We travel one year in time between birthdays, for example. And we are all traveling in time at approximately the same speed: 1 second per second.

We typically experience time at one second per second. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

NASA's space telescopes also give us a way to look back in time. Telescopes help us see stars and galaxies that are very far away . It takes a long time for the light from faraway galaxies to reach us. So, when we look into the sky with a telescope, we are seeing what those stars and galaxies looked like a very long time ago.

However, when we think of the phrase "time travel," we are usually thinking of traveling faster than 1 second per second. That kind of time travel sounds like something you'd only see in movies or science fiction books. Could it be real? Science says yes!

This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows galaxies that are very far away as they existed a very long time ago. Credit: NASA, ESA and R. Thompson (Univ. Arizona)

How do we know that time travel is possible?

More than 100 years ago, a famous scientist named Albert Einstein came up with an idea about how time works. He called it relativity. This theory says that time and space are linked together. Einstein also said our universe has a speed limit: nothing can travel faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second).

Einstein's theory of relativity says that space and time are linked together. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

What does this mean for time travel? Well, according to this theory, the faster you travel, the slower you experience time. Scientists have done some experiments to show that this is true.

For example, there was an experiment that used two clocks set to the exact same time. One clock stayed on Earth, while the other flew in an airplane (going in the same direction Earth rotates).

After the airplane flew around the world, scientists compared the two clocks. The clock on the fast-moving airplane was slightly behind the clock on the ground. So, the clock on the airplane was traveling slightly slower in time than 1 second per second.

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Can we use time travel in everyday life?

We can't use a time machine to travel hundreds of years into the past or future. That kind of time travel only happens in books and movies. But the math of time travel does affect the things we use every day.

For example, we use GPS satellites to help us figure out how to get to new places. (Check out our video about how GPS satellites work .) NASA scientists also use a high-accuracy version of GPS to keep track of where satellites are in space. But did you know that GPS relies on time-travel calculations to help you get around town?

GPS satellites orbit around Earth very quickly at about 8,700 miles (14,000 kilometers) per hour. This slows down GPS satellite clocks by a small fraction of a second (similar to the airplane example above).

However, the satellites are also orbiting Earth about 12,550 miles (20,200 km) above the surface. This actually speeds up GPS satellite clocks by a slighter larger fraction of a second.

Here's how: Einstein's theory also says that gravity curves space and time, causing the passage of time to slow down. High up where the satellites orbit, Earth's gravity is much weaker. This causes the clocks on GPS satellites to run faster than clocks on the ground.

The combined result is that the clocks on GPS satellites experience time at a rate slightly faster than 1 second per second. Luckily, scientists can use math to correct these differences in time.

If scientists didn't correct the GPS clocks, there would be big problems. GPS satellites wouldn't be able to correctly calculate their position or yours. The errors would add up to a few miles each day, which is a big deal. GPS maps might think your home is nowhere near where it actually is!

In Summary:

Yes, time travel is indeed a real thing. But it's not quite what you've probably seen in the movies. Under certain conditions, it is possible to experience time passing at a different rate than 1 second per second. And there are important reasons why we need to understand this real-world form of time travel.
