| The hive-minded Bebe-bots are back, bent on creating an army of their speedy species with Bonnie as their queen. An over-committed Kim copes by donning experimental shoes that prove she really does need to slow down once in a while. |

Villains: The Bebes
Animation Production by: Rough Draft Korea Co., LTD
This marks the first time someone (namely Smash Mouth's Steve Harwell) plays themselves in a "KP" ep.
Now we know why "Come On, Come On" is on the KP soundtrack.
This episode may remind you of the (theatrical) Nickelodeon movie, Clockstoppers {2002}. In which, Zak stumbles upon a wristwatch that can speed up his molocules, putting him in "Hypertime": a state where no one at regular speed can see/hear you.
There is a "Simpsons" episode similar to the film's synopsis.
There was also an episode of "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids the TV Show" similar to this. Wayne created a belt that sped up his molecules. He and his boss got trapped at that speed.
This episode is also very similar to an episode of Static Shock, "Now You See Him...", in which Static faces a villain who uses a wristband to accelerate himself and others into hyperspeed.

Ron: Oh, she's here...
[ Hyper-Kim speeds through. ]
Ron: ...and there.
Bebe: Kim Possible, you are so done for.
Steve Harwell: I'm not sure how we got here... but let's party!
(In San Francisco )
Kim: Okay, now, even slower.
(Kim and Rufus run to New York )
Kim: I'm sure the shoes will come off... eventually. Wanna dance?
Rufus: Uh huh!
Ron: Foiled in a dummy factory... this doesn't look good.
(Kim and Ron are suddenly tied up.)
Ron: Did I miss something?
Kim: We all missed something.
Kim: If I could just learn to cover more ground faster...
Ron: ...or you could just learn to say "no".
Kim: I'm not programmed that way, Ron!
Wade: I'm grounded for hacking into Mom's recipes and deleting all references to "broccoli".
Tour Guide: Here on our production floor we make our best-selling Britina dolls. Each one mass-produced with love.
Kim: Wade... Can't the sitch sit?
Bebe: Sorry Kim, fool me twice and all that.
Ron: Run! Run like the wind, little mole-rat!!
Dr. (Dad) Possible: Ah, those lazy afternoons pretending to be prize-winning scientists, mixing up batches of rocket fuel, launching the family station wagon into orbit...
Dr. (Mom) Possible: Let's not talk about that around Jim and Tim.
Kim: Ron, are you watching this?
Ron: Just barely. The production values are way below "Ghost Car".
Ron: Way to go, KP!
Bonnie: Kim, this is all your fault.
Ron: You're probably talking too slow for her to hear you.
Bonnie: What about you?
Ron: Me, too.
Rufus: Nooooo!
MHS Sign: Busy B's get the A's.
MHS Sign: Dance This Friday
MHS Sign: Mad Dog Ball This Friday

When Rufus cringes after the tickets trip everyone up, Ron's shirt behind him is colored wrong. It's got black at the bottom like his usual outfit, but there is white seen above and there's a notch, like the shirt he's wearing at the time.
Rufus was in Ron's pocket at the time of the pile-up. But when it shows everyone, Rufus crawls out from the middle and triumphantly holds up Kim's (granola?) bar, without any shots in between to show him running from the pocket to the pile.
As Kim lies on the ground under the pile of people in the hallway, her hand is a darker color as she answers the Kimmunicator.
As the Bebes recall their earlier recorded scene of Kim and Ron walking through the mannequin factory, Kim's mission pant legs are shortened during her "Bonnie is so bossy" speech (the animators probably confused them with her blue capris).
The Bebes' hairbands, while generally absent this episode, make random appearances throughout -- sometimes the result of reused cels (from "AotKB").
Kim's fishing pole thingy, or whatever it is, disappears as Mom drags her into the kitchen for breakfast.
^--Just making a note that the pole is a pointed stick used to pick up garbage. We see Kim use it later in the ep.
When Kim holds up the mirror to show the Bebe's imperfection, the 'bot reflected in it has an uncolored shirt.
The look of Kim's restraints (the Bebe's extended arms) keeps changing during the conveyer belt ride.
After Kim says "Can't the sitch sit?" the waistband on her pants is the same color as her pant legs.
Also seen in the shirt bottom goof, Ron's pants are colored wrong. They're supposed to be green, not brown.
The obvious question that no one has asked is how did the Bebes come back? At the end of Attack of the Killer Bebes, Wade used a sonic wave to blow them up! Since the Bebes announced Drakken was unfit to rule, who put them back together? That was never explained.
When the Bebes abduct Bonnie, she is wearing her cheerleading uniform. However, later as she is strapped inside the hive mind, she is wearing her pink top and red skirt.
The music from the Mad Dog Ball can still be heard when Kim and Rufus stop 1,000 miles away from Middleton in San Francisco. Also, they miss it by 1,000 miles before trying again 'even slower' and end up in New York city. This either means Kim and Rufus are really bad at slowing down, or that the United States is less than 2,000 miles wide (it's about 2,600).
Well, if Draken made them to be perfect, maybe they can auto repair.
Kim's pink pants are temporarily green as Rufus tries to steal her granola bar at the beginning of the episode.
While Kim is fighting the Bebes in their hive, you can clearly see Bonnie blink. How could this happen if she is moving too fast for everyone else to see?
If the shoes don't come off your feet, how did Rufus get them off the experimental rat?
How can the Bebes' generator thingy work while the Bebes and Kim Possible are moving at hyper speed? I mean, they move at hyper speed and it moves at regular speed, considering how slow the machine works, how can they get destroyed by it?!
Nitpick: Wouldn't Bonnie's mother have noticed that Bonnie was missing and have notified the police? Are her parents really THAT negelectful? Also, I'm very sure the teachers would've noticed she was missing in school and call her.

DYN? #1
Big Mike (from "Tick-Tick-Tick") can be seen lifting Tara and another of the squad's cheerleaders (both out of uniform!) during Smash Mouth's gratuitous guest performance.
DYN? #2
Ron says, when Bonnie shocks him, "You did that on purpose!" In "Downhill" Ron sprays Bonnie with snow and she says "You did that on purpose!"
DYN? #3
Instrumental versions of "The Naked Mole Rap" play at least 3 times in this episode.
DYN? #4
So many bits of animation have been lifted from "AotKB" that they'd be difficult to track down and number.
DYN? #4, Pt. II
In line with the above (but with the added possibility of an episode reference/in-joke), as the Bebes extend their robotic arms (ironically, a sequence that *hasn't* been recycled), Kim's jaw-drop reaction shot is exactly the same as it was when they first displayed that ability in "AotKB".
DYN #5
The Bebes react to Bonnie's subconcious and they want to hurt Kim. Coincidence? No.
DYN? #6
Tara is among those tripped in the hallway on the pile of people.
DYN? #7
Kim wears a size seven shoe.
DYN? #9
Kim and the Girl that's the head of the dance committee wear the same outfit.
Kim's Choice of Clothes
Am I dreaming, or is Kim's pink tank/green capri combo VERY similar to her outfit in "Pain King vs. Cleopatra?"
DYN? #8
Before the episode ends Kim winds up standing under two landmarks on opposite ends of the country. The Golden Gate Bridge (California, probably at Point Bonita) and The Statue of Liberty (New York, Liberty Island).
"The production values are way below Ghost Car."
Ron references the drivers ed film from "Car Trouble".
RE: DYN? 2
She also says "You did that on purpose!" in "Kimitation Nation" when, after Bonnie hits Kim in the face with a pom-pom, and Kim retaliates by hitting Bonnie offscreen with her hip.
DYN #9
Joe the helicopter pilot can also be seen in "Rufus vs. Commodore Puddles", piloting the Area 51 helicopter.
Not so Bad After All
If I were a super villain fighting Kim, and had a chance to harm her helpless best friend; I'd do it. Perhaps Bonnie secretly likes Ron, thus the Bebes didn't want to hurt him.
RE: Above
The Bebes don't want to hurt Ron because Bonnie is stalled from hypertime too, and can't think about hurting Ron immediately, plus Kim is keeping the robots busy.
Kim: Dad, didn't we agree on no more life lessons at breakfast?
Reference to a couple of Season 1 eps, "Bueno Nacho" in particular.

Kim/Rufus: Hyperspeed
The plot device of Kim, Rufus, and the Bebes existing at hyperspeed invisible to everyone else is reminicent of the Star Trek original series episode "Wink of an Eye." More Info
Kim: "I'm Sure the shoes will come off... eventually."
The whole idea of Kim not being able to get the shoes off is taken from the classic story, The Red Dancing Shoes. In the story, a girl gets a pair of red ballet slippers stuck on her feet and must wander the earth til they fall off. Coincidentally(or not?), both pairs of shoes were red.
Object: Britina Dolls
The Britina Dolls could either be a parody of Barbie Dolls or dolls of teen singers, such as Shakira or Hilary Duff.
N/A: N/A
Surprised nobody has mentioned this, because it was the very first thing I noticed: The superspeed shoes Kim and Rufus wear are very similar to the red sneakers worn by Sega mascot Sonic the Hedgehog, whose trademark is moving at supersonic speed.
