17 years ago, Kim Possible premiered on Disney Channel as a cartoon. Now, however, we live in a world where all of our favorite OG cartoons get turned into live-action movies, and that’s exactly what’s happening with your favorite high schooler-turned-crime fighter Kim.

That’s right, you guys! Disney Channel is giving us a live-action Kim Possible TV movie and we couldn’t be more ready. After nearly two decades without some of our fave characters, such as Ron Stoppable, Rufus and Wayne, the gang is finally back together to defeat Drakken and Shego for good. But first, J-14 is here to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the set. From Bueno Nacho to Kim’s bedroom, you get to see it all.

You can find this story and more in the March 2019 issue of J-14, on stands now!

Kim Possible Is Back in Action

Seventeen years after Kim Possible premiered as a cartoon, Kim (Sadie Stanley) is back! This time, she’s ready to defeat Drakken and Shego with Dr. Ann Possible (Alyson Hannigan), Nana Possible (Connie Ray), Ron (Sean Giambrone) and new friend, Athena (Ciara Wilson). “Alyson and Connie were so fun to work with!” Sadie tells us. “I really look up to them as actors and women in the industry.”

High School Switch-Up

Believe it or not, all of the high school scenes were filmed in two locations. “The interior and exterior were shot at different schools,” Sean explains. “So we shot one conversation at two different schools on two different days. Talk about a conversation that went somewhere!”

Soccer Star

“This was such a fun day!” Erika Tham (Bonnie) tells J-14. “The girls who made up the soccer team in the movie were all so kind and fun — it felt like we were a real team. Also, you can’t tell in the movie, but it was freezing cold that day! I had about four heat packs hidden under my uniform!” Yikes!

Hair Tricks

Ever wonder how actors look perfectly put-together in action-packed scenes? Sadie has the 411! “In a lot of the behind- the-scenes pictures, you’ll see my hair pinned back like this,” she dishes. “It was to help keep some wave/curl in my hair since I was always running or flipping!”
