Season 1
|
| 1. Crush |
|
| When Ron screams (after the "Naked Mole Rat Show"), his freckles are missing.
The grappler in "Bueno Nacho" was red, but this one is purple.
Contrary to the series' established style, Mom's lower lip is filled in for a segment of the breakfast table discussion.
Animation Goof: Because it's been recycled from an earlier sequence, the overlay representing the view from Drakken's Ultimate Robo-Warrior incorrectly identifies Ron as Kim, and vice versa.
At the start of the episode, Kim asks if Ron has ever considered a normal pet, i.e. "something not naked". But pretty much ALL animals are nude.
^-- Nitpick of Nitpick: Clothing-less, sure, but not hairless, and few have "naked" in their name.
For a brief second on the plane, part of Ron's sunglasses are missing (the part that rests on the ear--the right one).
When Dr. Possible (Dad) says, "Josh?" his eyebrows are black.
Strange that Ron should care so much about Christmas, seeing as he's Jewish according to 'Ron the Man'.
^--While I'll admit to not having seen the episode, I can take a wild guess and say that he could have parents of different faiths. His father may be Jewish and his mother Catholic (or vice versa). In that is the case, then Ron would celebrate not only Jewish holidays (like Chanukah, Passover, Rosh Hashanah, etc.), but Catholic holidays as well (like Christmas, Easter, Good Friday, etc.). I hope that helps.
^-- Even though I'm Jewish, I still get excited about Christmas because I, like Ron probably, like the joy and kindness around that time. He might also be half Jewish and Christian.
For a moment, when Ron's holding Rufus in Heinrich's snow-mobile thing, his hands are flesh-coloured, when he should be wearing gloves.
Pronunciation: Whenever Dad mentions Doctor Drakken, he pronounces it "Drocken".
Drakken's picture is not on the back page of the newspaper at the beginning of the scene. But when (Mr.) Dr. Possible says "I wouldn't give up. With Drakken, I mean" his picture occupies a large portion of the back page
During Shego's "...every time you blab about your big plan..." rant, her mouth completely disappears for a frame or two when she says "she wins!"
During the battle with the Ultimate Robo-Warrior, Kim puts Rufus in one of the pockets of her cargo pants after she catches him in mid-air. The next time we see Rufus (when the Ultimate Robo-Warrior starts to fall), he is perched on Ron's shoulder, but Kim was never physically close enough to Ron (on or off-screen) for her to give Rufus back to Ron.
If it was a Sadie Hawkins Dance, why was Ron trying to ask girls out?
Yes, we all know that one of the most basic rules of cartoon characters is that they wear the same clothes in just about every episode, but why is Kim wearing her casual green shirt to a dance? And why is Bonnie wearing her cheerleading outfit?
When Kim's grappler rope is first shown, it's yellow...but as she fires it up the side of the Z-boy factory, it's black.
When Kim is hanging from the scaffolding fighting Shego, Shego raises a black boot to knock Kim off. In the next shot, as Kim grabs the boot, it's green.
Kim and Ron are both suddenly wearing helmets and goggles as soon as they open the door and exit Heinrich's snow vehicle.
As Josh bends down to pick up his posters, the inside of his ear is momentarily transparent.
When Ron is hanging upside down when the Ultimate Robot Warrior grabs him, Rufus falls out of his pocket. After Kim rescues Rufus, she puts him in her pocket. But when Kim rocket skates to Ron's rescue as the Robot is falling, Rufus is back with Ron.
When Ron manipulates Rufus' mouth during the Rufus Show, he's missing his gloves.
When Kim punches out the camera on the back of Drakken's robot, the hand still in the suction cup is glove-less.
When Ron is pinned by the forklift, his shirt is a light gray rather than black.
I read on naked mole rats (yes,they do exist)And they had pretty short tails.How could rufus have a long tail?And how come his tail wags like a dog?
How can someone's EYES itch?
^-- You've obviously never worn contacts. (I'm sure by "itch" he meant general irritation)
^--It was *not* a Sadie Hawkins Dance. In the begining of the episode Ron identifies Spirit Week, and clarifies that it's the Spirit Week Dance while Himlick is giving them a ride. Also the banner Josh was hanging said: Spirit Week Dance.
--^The contact lenses theory works, but it could also be a figure of speech. What Drakken is really saying is that the Z-boy cartoons are starting to annoy him. |
|
| 2. Sink or Swim |
|
Gill claims that he mutated into the swamp creature from swimming in the toxic lake, so why didn't anything happen to Ron or Rufus while they swam in it for like half an hour while they fought Gill? In addition, Gill also said that anybody covered in his mucus would also begin to mutate, but he coated Kim, all the cheerleaders, and the coach in that stuff, yet only Coach Barkin changed in any way.
^-- Incorrectly Considered a Goof: Barkin was the first to begin mutation because he'd been exposed the longest. Further, Ron was barely in the lake for half a minute of screen time, and was at the dock in time to stand over a still-gasping Gill. I see no indication that anywhere near "a half an hour" had past between these events.
When Gil's telling the Counselor how he's not getting out of the water, his eyelids are skin-colored. But when they show him before he dives under, his eyelids are black.
When Gill is talking to Ron, there seems to be a bunch of errors on his nose.
When Gill is saying "you took my arts and crafts," and also when he's saying, "they shut down the camp," one of his nostrils disappears.
Also when Gill is saying, "It turns out, and you're gonna love this, the lake had been polluted by run-off from the science camp," first his nose turns dark green, then it goes back to normal, then it turns dark green again, then it goes back to normal again, and then the outline of his nose becomes a full circle (like a pig nose) when it is only supposed to be a half circle.
During Gill's confrontation with Ron in front of cabin 13, Tara is on Bonnie's right. Then, when Ron dives down his escape tunnel she's on Bonnie's left. Then, when Gill is taunting Kim, Tara is back on Bonnie's right again.
^-- That's the squad's other blonde cheerleader on Bonnie's right, initially, but you're right -- the positions of the captive cheerleaders are far from consistent. Referring to the as-yet-unnamed mostly by hair color, their positions are, from left to right...
Cabin explosion to commercial: [Blonde-Straight], against the wall; [Black-Straight], wall and ceiling; Bonnie, pinned to bunk post; [Lighter-Black-Mole], pinned to other post; [Purplish-Wavy (Rosslyn Taylor)], wall; Tara, hanging from ceiling; [Red-Wavy], pinned to third post.
Post-commercial: [Red-Wavy], in foreground, seemingly from high above.
After Ron's escape: Same as before, but with Tara pinned to the second post (to Bonnie's left).
As Gill, et al., hear Ron's motorboat: Tara, pinned to a heretofore unoccupied bunk post (to Bonnie's right); [Blonde-Straight], hanging from ceiling, [Purplish-Wavy (Rosslyn Taylor)] pinned to bunk post (to Bonnie's left)
Right after Ron says "And 'It's' back there!" The "13" on Cabin 13 is missing, then it appears again.
When Ron and Gill are fighting in the lake, Gill's hair for a moment turns green like the color of his muck.
When Gill says "All part of my plan...to have revenge against Ron Stoppable" the fin on his left foot is missing.
Nitpick to Incorrectly considered a goof: You claim that Barkin changed first because he'd been exposed the longest, but in truth, when Gill starts spitting out his mucus at people, he hits Kim first, then the other cheerleaders, and finally traps Barkin to a tree LAST. So why is Barkin the FIRST to mutate if Kim was the one exposed to the mucus the longest? Is it because she's the star of the show?
^-- Incorrectly considered incorrectly considered incorrect (Whew!): Remember that Barkin was snagged long before the others were aware of Gill as anything more than a phantom threat, and his arms bound by muck to his sides.
I thought only the girls in Kim Possible had their upper lip shaded in, but in this episode Gil does too.
^-- I doubt it's as much an issue of shading, as it is of Gil's having a pronounced upper lip. This "fish-like" feature is among those presumably designed to tie together his two forms.
^--Gil isn't the only boy with his upper lip shaded. In Tick-Tick-Tick, Vinnie too has his upper lip shaded.
When we first see Gill after he is captured, he is in Ron's handmade net. Yet, when he is dropped into the giant fishbowl moments later, he is on a canvas stretcher.
Gill says the competition that the cheerleaders were going to didn't exist because it was all a part of his revenge plan. So either Gill is as skillful at faking invitations as he is jamming telecommunications equipment or someone at Middleton High is (or was) not doing their job properly.
Wouldn't Ron have found out that Gil mutated during the summer while he was still in camp? Unless the camp directors were secretive about Gill's mutation. Which leads to a slight plothole--wouldn't Gill's parents have been notified about their son turning into a swamp creature or something like that--does Gill even have parents!?
^--Not necessarily. The mutation process could have taken longer on Gil (as opposed to the transformation on Barkin) because the intensity of pollutants in the water might not have been that strong (and since he swam in it almost all the time, that's would be a lot of exposure, so it wouldn't matter how much pollutants there were). And they might have told Ron about Gil's mutation, but he was so busy having the worst time of his life (being harassed by wild chimps, massive amounts of bugs, poison oak, woodpeckers, other campmates, etc.) that he wasn't really listening. As for Gil's parents, I don't know. I think you got something there.
Gill says he wants revenge on Ron, right? Well, what for? It was Gill's choice to stay in the lake, Ron didn't force him to. If anything, Ron should be the one holding a grudge against Gill, because he bullied him.
^-- Gill would want revenge on Ron because he took Gil's arts and crafts time, allowing for him to be in the water longer. So, instead of just going into the water once a day, because of Ron's switch, Gil got to swim twice a day. I think that Gill feels that, if Ron hadn't asked to switch, the counselor wouldn't have changed the activity roster and he would be normal today.
^-- Not to mention, it doesn't even seem like Ron asked Gil if he minded switching activities. He kinda went ahead and just asked to switch on his own. So that could be another reason for Gil to want revenge on Ron, he might have felt that Ron did it on purpose.
When Gill says, "So... he ditched you," the fin-thing on top of his head is light green.
As Tara eats the pork wafer, her bellybutton is missing.
Solution to Barkin being the only one to mutate: I suppose it's possible that there's a two-time rule. Like Barkin got hit by the mucus two times, therefore he mutated while no one else did.
Seen from the outside, the bus looks pretty big (like your normal school bus), but the inside is small as it only has 4 rows of seats.
Ron's secret stash contained pork wafers. However, in "Ron the Man", we find out that he's Jewish.
^. Not necessarily a goof. My Dad's Jewish (Mom's Catholic) and he does eat pork on rare occassions. Most notably in egg rolls. And a Jewish acquaintance of mine once told me that some Jews will eat pork if it's what's being served so as not to seem rude. And let's not forget, there are Catholics who eat meat on Fridays, even though that's a no-no. It all depends on how devout you are, I guess.
^-- Also, it is artificial pork. Perhaps that doesn't count.
Ron's pockets frequently change from cargo pants pockets to normal pockets throughout this episode. |
|
| 3. The New Ron |
|
| Ron got a haircut in this episode. At the end, he messed his around and it appeared exactly as it did before the haircut.
After changing out of the scuba gear, Ron is wearing his typical action gear (black shirt, cargo pants). Then, for the rest of the fight with Señor Senior, Sr., he's wearing his new outfit (blue shirt, pleather pants).
^--Incorrectly yet correctly considered a goof. Looking closely Ron is not wearing his usual outfit. But he is not wearing his new one either. He is wearing a black shirt with blue pleather pants. So, it is still a goof in a way.
Ron and Kim go to Paris to get his cowlick fixed. After they get it fixed they come out of the shop, and in the first long shot of the store front Ron's cowlick is back, and in the second long shot it's gone again.
During Dr. Possible's (Mom) entire first line, her lower lip is shaded in.
When Kim says "Can you hack into the European grid?" the details on the Kimmunicator disappear.
The picture of Kim and Ron inside of Kim's locker is only present for one scene -- in the entire series. ^-- Perhaps Kim posted it as a reminder of how Ron used to be ("Yeah... I liked him better that way, too.").
When Ron comes back from "fighting" Junior, the ladder to his right has already been damaged beyond use, but it's whole again in the next shot -- just in time to be destroyed by a spinning top of doom.
After the whole spinning tops of doom thing, Ron gets his haircut back for a scene.
Just before the above, Kim's upper lip is momentarily flesh-colored.
Koi, even starved koi, aren't dangerous. They don't even have teeth. Of course, this could just be to emphasize SSS's inexperience, but when Rufus is fighting them to get to Ron and SSJ, one of the koi clearly has teeth.
Outside of Francois' shop, Haute D'Style, the bottom of Ron's shirt is red during the entire "Hair care is the center of the universe" discussion.
WHen Kim runs off with Ron's hat early in the episode, the bottom of Ron's shirt is red when he shouts "Give it, Kim!" |
|
| 4. Tick-Tick-Tick |
|
| Continuity Error: This episode introduces Kim to Dr. Drakken, though Ron refers to him as her "arch enemy" in "Crush".
When Shego asks Drakken if she can work the gravatomic ray, the black that tops her collar is missing.
After Drakken refuses to let Shego use the ray, the buttons on her control sticks are missing.
^-- It's possible that the buttons simply aren't visible from that angle. More glaring errors in this scene: Those same buttons are grey in one shot, red in the next, and so on, back and forth. Even more dramatic is the constantly-shifting appearance of the gravatomic ray's control stick, the head of which alternates between a red ball and a thumb-triggered joystick. Various controls also seem to appear and disappear at random.
At Prof. Acari's, when Kim looks at her Kimmunicator, her gloves are missing.
After Kim finds out about the nano-tick and escapes detention, the seat she was sitting in disappears. Or maybe, really quick, Junior and Big Mike moved down a seat.
As Kim pulls her pom-poms from her backpack (just before Barkin retrieves her for detention), the backpack disappears. If she merely drops her pack to the floor (which doesn't seem very in-character), it ought to be visible in later, wider shots (which it isn't).
After escaping detention, both Kim and Ron have drinks. Then, a couple of scenes later, there's only one drink.
When Kim jumps on a table in Bueno Nacho, look in the background -- the "cheese machine" has been destroyed, presumably by the gravatomic ray. But when Shego tries to get Kim, the machine is back to normal and Shego destroys it...again.
When Kim confronts Shego at Bueno Nacho, the table she jumps on has a burger and two drinks. Right before Shego destroys it, the burger is missing.
^-- Actually, it's *two* burgers, the wrappers they were sitting on, and what appears to be a pepper or salt shaker that turn up missing. But you really can't expect TV scale animators to draw in such incidental objects for such a very brief, wide shot action sequence. And, to their credit, they *were* consistent as far as who was sitting at the table Shego destroys (though, unless the fellow in orange has a twin, he was sitting with an entirely different woman as the roof came off).
The scar on Drakken's face comes from his eye but in some shots it comes from his nose. This happens during the whole "I want my nano-tick!" thing.
^-- As far as I can tell, in that particular scene, Drakken's nose merely obscures the scar's true starting point.
Right before Barkin's car is captured by the ray, his watch is missing.
^-- And after he's been dropped, it's on the wrong arm.
When Shego looks at the radar for the nano-tick, her one glove is missing.
^-- More accurately, it seems her right glove was mis-colored to match her skin.
Right before Barkin gets Kim for detention, Prof. Acari says "thank you" and is holding the disk. But Kim never got the disk.
^-- Au contraire. As Drakken rambles on about his nano-tick, Kim ejects, then snags, Acari's misappropriated disc.
Animation Goof: Someone forgot to color in Dad's eyebrows in the "South America/School Night" scene. Sure it was only one cel -- but that cel was held for more than 40 frames. (http://ruggaphile.tripod.com/GoofDad.html)
Another animation goof is with Mr. Barkin. His hair in "Tick-Tick-Tick" Is BLONDE (just like Kim's father's eyebrows). In other episodes ("Sink or Swim" and "Downhill"), it's black ("Tick Tick Tick" was probably the pilot ep instead of "Crush").
^-- Incorrectly Considered a Goof: Dr. Possible's eyebrows weren't blonde, they were flesh-colored, and only for one cel. In contrast, Mr. Barkin's crewcut was consistently blonde throughout the entire episode and was therefore almost certainly on-model for the time. In other words, the final decision on Barkin's hair color likely came too late for it to influence the production of "TTT", and his pigmentation can't truly be considered an animation "goof". Besides, who can say Steve's present look isn't the result of a dye job? Only his hairdresser knows for sure.
Animation Goof: When we first see Dr. Drakken, he's flesh colored, then, later, he becomes blue.
^-- Incorrectly Considered a Goof: That's the effect of the firelight. Note that all colors appear a bit different in that scene -- though, I'll admit, Chris Bailey (or whoever) may have gone a bit overboard with Drakken. (http://ruggaphile.tripod.com/DrakkenFire.html)
Why did Coach Barkin give Kim detention because he found Rufus on school grounds? Rufus belongs to Ron. Kim should have protested that point.
When Kim goes to cheerleading practice, there's a rather sturdily-built
cheerleader on the squad with thick eyebrows and wavy black hair who isn't shown in any other episode.
When Big Mike says, "I like sparkles" Kim has only painted one finger. After Junior and Vinnie's brief exchange, all of Big Mike's finger nails are painted.
When Kim looks in her compact mirror and finds the nanno-tick on her nose, the explosive part of it is missing.
When Kim is "introduced" to Vinnie and Big Mike, the lines in her hair disappear.
Re: control sticks; appears that the red ball opens doors/retracts the Gravitomic ray and the thumb-triggered control stick "wields" it.
^-- Were they more consistent, I'd agree with you; indeed, I'd briefly considered that specific possibility. But there's just too much else wonky with the controls (and only one instance of the ray being lowered) for the above to be assumed.
Why would Bueno NACHO be selling BURGERS?
After Kim prints her papers in the beginning, Rufus has the word "nacho" on him. If this midterm was really important to Kim, why would it have the word "nacho" in it?
When Wade first plays the tape of Shego fly-kicking Acari's security camera, his computer display is blank. When Kim plays the same clip back later, the screen flashes "Upload in Progress" over a green progress bar.
During the scene where D&S chase K&R, the former pairing are soaked when Drakken's gravitomic ray uproots a fire hydrant. Shortly after, as they approach Bueno Nacho, the two are fully dry.
^-- Well, they *are* flying through the air. Basic air-drying. Plus they're moving pretty quickly.
As Kim leaps off her desk in detention, her book is missing.
As Kim and Shego are fighting inside Bueno Nacho, Kim throws Ron the Kimmunicator. Where was it hidden? Cheerleading uniforms are not known to have pockets.
When Shego pushes Ron away and says, "Drop the hot sauce and step away from the nose," the camera pans out to reveal that Kim is wearing her usual green tank (rather than the cheerleading uniform she wears the rest of the scene). |
|
| 5. Downhill |
|
| When Kim, Ron, Rufus, Dr. Possible and Mr. Barkin are riding down the hill, Mr. Barkin is wearing a pink bathrobe because his clothes had shrunk in the machine thing that DNAmy invented. They all land safely at the bottom, and they show the crowd. Then they show Kim, Ron, Rufus, Dr. Possible and Mr. Barkin, only Mr. Barkin is wearing his original clothes, even though, in the next scene, he's still wearing the bathrobe.
Also during the jet down the mountain: Kim and Ron momentarily swap arms (I doubt Dad had time to juggle them).
We see Ron, Mr. Barkin and DNAmy start to walk back to the ski lodge. The next time we see them, Mr. Barkin and DNAmy are still walking, but Ron has somehow acquired a helmet and the snowboard he used to spray Bonnie
Wade says that Mr. Barkin agreed to cut him in for 10 per cent of the Snowbeast reward, but we have not (yet) seen that: 1) Mr. Barkin knows who Wade is or how to contact him and 2) there is a way to contact Wade other than the Kimmunicator, which is almost always on Kim's person.
^-- Monique contacts Wade through an ordinary phone line in "October 31st". Still, there's no indication Barkin knows the number.
If both of Kim's parents are chaperoning the ski trip, who is looking after Jim & Tim? They are too young to be left alone in the house.
^--Actually, when Kim's parents first arrive at the bus, her dad says that they dropped off Jim and Tim at their grandmother's house before heading over.
DNAmy's lips perfectly match her flesh tone, yet they leave a lipstick-pink print as she kisses the inside of her squad car's window.
As Ron and Kim are talking at the lodge, Kim tells Ron "This weekend is now strictly damage control....etc" Her dad overhears her. Later as her dad is building the snowman, her MOM comes up and says "We wouldn't want Kimmy to be in humiliation nation" even though her dad was the one who overheard her.
^-- ICaG: It's pretty obvious the two had discussed the matter, Kim's dad doubtlessly quoting the phrase to her mom.
Kim's dad mentions in this episode that they left Jim & Tim at Nana's, yet we learn in The Golden Years their Nana lives in Florida. The only possible explanation is that they have another grandmother called Nana. Maybe both Kim's dad and mom are called Nana.
^-- Most likely the same Nana, seeing as "The Golden Years" marks Nana's move to Florida (as is evident in Mr. Dr. Possible's line "Thanks for coming with us to help us settle Nana into her new home").
Wade's skin tone changes several times in this episode.
If Amy has every cuddle buddy, where is her flamingoat? |

| 6. Bueno Nacho |
|
When asked to buy Kim a new jacket, Mr. Possible tells a story of when he applied to the University for funding. In the story, he says that money is made of paper, and paper comes from trees, so money does grow on trees. In fact, dollar bills are 75% cotton, 25% linen, and not made from normal paper from trees.
Animation Goof: At breakfast, Kim's right forearm passes *through* her ear -- twice -- as she explains the difference between her paternally-described "functional coat" and the "Club Banana" jacket she currently desires (the former's from last season -- and red!).
Animation Goof?: Before rappelling down a wall of cheese, Kim fires her recently-acquired grappling gun. The prongs of its hook point "in", toward the line, as she fires, but conveniently point "out" as they sink into Wisconsin Swiss.
^-- Incorrectly considered a goof: Though the transformation takes place off-screen in this episode, "Coach Possible" clearly depicts the prongs' rotation in mid-flight.
Animation Goof: This one's a bit technical. As Ned grasps the cardboard nacho tray, his thumb passes *under* the nacho cheese, but *over* the tortilla chips that obscure it. The result is this rather odd-looking sequence of images.
When Drakken has Kim held captive and yells to Shego about when the laser drill will hit magma, his scar jumps from under his right eye to its usual place under his left eye.
As a lifelong resident of Wisconsin, I can assure you that I've never heard of "Wisconsin Swiss" that the tour guide says the building is made of. If they wanted accuracy the building should have been Cheddar cheese, but then Kim wouldn't have been able to use the holes for access.
When Drakken is on his air powered elevator and standing at the magmachine, for a split second the screen shows Shego standing with him.
Drakken, while stealing the laser drill, says 'Well done Shego - Phase 1 is complete.' Later on, Kim tells him that his plan is 'to drill through to the magma beneath the Earth's crust,' and Drakken says 'Well - that's phase 1'. Neh?
The timer on the bomb must slow down during Drakken's line. If you countdown along with the bomb, you'll see that it should have detonated when Kim jumped onto it.
In other countries where Kim Possible is aired, the money is made of a thick paper, so this might have been used to make the show a little neutral when it came to the national references.
If it's warm enough in Middleton for Kim to wear a tank top, why would Kim need a new jacket? Even if she does buy the jacket now, then wears it when it gets cold out, the outfit wouldn't be popular anymore. A.k.a. just another "pink poof."
^-- Kim spends so much time out of town, odds are she'd still get plenty of use out of the jacket.
How would Ned hear Wade from Ron's earpiece before he says something like, "...You have a choice to make- be the manager or the goofy sidekick." Ron is about 5 feet away from Ned.
Actually, when Ned says "you have a choice", you can clearly see that he has the same head piece. And from my knowledge, they usually are set on the same channel so Ned can head Wade talking.
Couldn't Ron simply have taken a break or something when Kim needed him? And anyway, the head honchos (no pun intended) might not have minded if it meant that Wisconsin, a possible place for a chain to continue, would have stayed in existence.
Captioning error: When Kim is telling Rufus ''Goood little naked mole rat'' for pushing the cheese button, the captions say ''Good little naked mall rat''.
When Kim says "Hello, earth to Ron", the logo in her shoe is missing (this is also apparent later as Ron and Kim are arguing about going to Wisconsin)
According to the book version of this episode, Kim created her website at the beginning of her sophomore year, but she created her website when she was 12, remember? |
|
| 7. Number One |
|
Bonnie's collar is yellow (rather than red) during her "Did you give the squad 110% today?" solo shot.
^-- Shortly after, as Bonnie asserts her intention to be squad captain, her upper lip develops a dark outline.
Kim's cheerleading is not only dangerous but also illegal. Her squad makes a pyramid without spotters (people supporting from the back), and it's a three tier pyramid, which is college level cheerleading and not legal for highschoolers! Kim is in either tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grade (not ninth; Ron refers to his freshman year in the past tense in this episode), and anyone in any of those years is only allowed to make a 2-tier pyramid.
^-- Actually, not twelfth, either; remember, Ron was intimidated by seniors in "The New Ron".
^--When the squad made their pyramid there were three spotters so I don't think that's illegal.
^--Oh, okay... still, three tier pyramids are illegal for highschoolers, spotters or not.
When Ron is facing off with Agent Du and imitating Du's karate move, he has nothing in his hand, but on the cut to the wide shot as Kim starts to walk away, Ron is suddenly holding Rufus.
^-- ICaG: Kim puts Rufus into Ron's hand before walking off.
After Wil summons the GJ hovercraft with the RCM, and deploys the rope, it disappears from his mouth.
Nitpick: How could Kim, Ron, Wil, and Professor Green pull themselves up, by their teeth, with the rope? (strong teeth!)
According to the Middle Eastern Disney site, Kim is a Sophmore (AKA. 10th grade). The link to it is http://www.disneyme.com/DisneyChannel/English/kidszone/kim/index.html
Wil hands Rufus a blue dollar bill! This is a constant reoccurrence, but still mystifies me.
In Sky subtitles, the following errors are present: When Wil says "Stupid, stupid Wil!" in his craft, the text says "girl" for "Wil". The game "Thud" is written "Thug". The Kimmunicator is phrased as the "Communicator". "Go Mad Dogs" Is "Go the Dogs". "Farewell" is "Goodbye". --KimPossibleRocks
When Kim, Ron, Will Du, and Prof. Green are trapped in Killigan's sand trap, after Will Du summons the GJ hoverjet, the remote suddenly disappears when Kim says "Ladies First".
--^If you notice on the beginning page of the TV show, as they highlight the attributes of Kim, one of them (I believe third from bottom) says "High school sophomore"
During Kim's "Bonnie Rant" at the end of the episode, her gloves' cuffs switch directions, judging by the notches, for a split second. |

| 8. Mind Games |
|
When Ron, Baxter, and Kim are on the donkeys, Ron is in front of Baxter and then all of a sudden behind.
^-- Incorrectly Considered a Goof: These two shots are separated by several seconds of closeups; I'd hardly call that "all of a sudden". Note also that Ron's mule has completely stopped by the time we first see him at the rear. It only makes sense that Baxter's still-in-motion Buttercup would be ahead at that point.
Drakken yells at Shego for letting Kim Possible take his body and destroy his lair. But Kim didn't destroy it in this episode.
When we first see the family eating, you see that guy in Drakken's body "clean his plate". But a few shots later, you see little pieces of vegetables.
When trying to outrun a goon, Kimron says to Ronkim, "Now you know what it's like!" Her mouth doesn't move till she says "like".
Drakken's goons destroy the same [computer bank?] twice. First, to expose the lurking Kim-Ron, Ron-Kim, and Dobbs-Drakken. Then, after Drakken-Dobbs asks what Kim and Ron's "mile-in-their-moccasins" lessons "have to do with anything" and orders his goons to "finish them both".
^-- Despite an oversized explosion and seemingly copious amount of flying debris, the second blast merely creates a small, smoking blemish on the (computer bank?) behind the one previously destroyed. To view this less-than-spectacular result in the image provided, check the fourth panel, and follow the smoke trail down to its source.
Why didn't Kim and Ron bring their spy gear along when they raided Drakken's other secret lair? Don't they know that the most important rule of spying and crimefighting is BE PREPARED! And they should have watched out for evil minions, like Shego, and those other guys with those weird weapons?
A Nitpick: This is the first time Drakken has escaped. I think that if Kim and Ron had been prepared, he wouldn't have. -- Dr. Veeken
Another game of musical cheerleaders (see: Sink or Swim). This time, we start off with:
Bonnie, Tara, [Red-Wavy], [Purplish-Wavy (Rosslyn Taylor)], Ron-Kim (foreground), [Lighter-Black-Mole], [Black-Straight]
Then, in a single frame, the squad's in a loose ring, with positions roughly equivalent to:
[Black-Straight], [Lighter-Black-Mole], [Red-Wavy], Ron-Kim (foreground), Tara, Bonnie, [Purplish-Wavy (Rosslyn Taylor)]
This order is maintained over the next few shots, after which point, because the cheerleaders aren't immobilized (as in "SOS"), and because their sequences are separated by reaction shots of Kim-Ron and Rufus, the girls may simply have moved while off-camera (being in the middle of a busy routine, as they are).
This isn't the end of odd, competition-related occurrences, however: [Blonde-Straight], who didn't arrive on the floor with the rest of the girls, and hadn't appeared at all before our diversion to Shego and Drakken-Dobbs, suddenly materializes for the big finish, seemingly replacing Bonnie, of all people. Is the Middleton squad heavy a "spare" cheerleader? Did Bonnie, unable to handle the combination of Kim's moves and Ron's body, "tag out"? How many members does a regulation squad have, anyway?
The girl asking Ron (in Kim's body) for the yearbook fonts has a purple book. Then, there's an 'M' on it.
^-- Note which direction the binding is facing in each shot; in the first, we're seeing the yearbook's solid colored back cover. In the second, the book has been turned so its front cover (emblazoned with an "M", presumably for "Middleton") faces outward.
Before Ronkim says "give me a break here!" his/her lipstick is missing.
^-- Somehow, I knew this'd come up ;) It's almost certainly an artistic choice, occurring at least three times in the shot, and always as Ronkim presses his/her lips together.
In the theme song, at the end of the line "I'm your basic average girl," the picture on the screen is a pretty, smiling Kim. But take note! This is NOT in fact Kim but rather RON in Kim's body! I thought it was very strange that on the word "girl" they should show a boy. P.S. The theme song also shows Kim in Ron's body at least once.
During the regionals, Rufus went into Kim-Ron's pocket. When Kim-Ron went on stage, she was doing all these somersaults. Why didn't Rufus fall out of Kim-Ron's pocket?
^-- Ron wears cargo pants, and cargo pants usually have pockets that close. So Rufus could be secure in his pocket.
Ron-Kim says "Gimme a break, here, I'm wearin' a skirt!" To which Kim-Ron replies, "Now you know what it's like!" But, as best my memory serves me, Kim never wears her cheerleading outfit on a mission.
^-- Perhaps Kim meant wearing a skirt, in general.
^--Actually, in "Tick-Tick-Tick" Kim took on Shego in her cheerleader outfit.
^-- That wasn't technically a mission, though; Shego caught her at school.
Granted, this can be chalked up to "creative license", but swapping minds alone wouldn't swap voices; that (at least, to the extent heard here) would require a swapping of vocal chords, tongues, mouth cavities, etc.
^--It's pretty much an unwritten rule in animated television that when characters swap brains they take on the other's voice.
When Kim and Ron switch, you can clearly see Shego standing right there, facing towards them, so you would've thought she would have seen/heard them. However, after Kim in Ron's body says 'Don't mess with me', Shego didn't know they had switched.
^-- The shot you refer to is shown well after the switch takes place; the last we see of Shego before that point, she's collided with Kim and is bouncing laterally in the opposite direction. It's entirely possible that Shego, like Kim, rose only after the switch, and didn't actually see it occur.
Language Goof: In the beginning, Ron says 'kinda importanté!' to which Kim responds with 'Mucho busy!' In fact, in Spanish, it should have been 'Muy busy!'
^-- Not really a nitpick, but I would like to point out that Kim and Ron are actually speaking 'Spanglish' (mixing Spanish and English words when speaking).
If Drakken's brain switch machine blew out all the electrical power, how was there enough power to turn on the self destruct mechanism? It shouldn't have worked.
Why did Drakken resort to using a puppet to make his threatening message? I would have just made Shego deliver the message; she scares the heck out of me, and I would have taken a woman with flaming hands pretty seriously if she were making threats to blow up cities with a Neutronalizer.
^-- Ego? Because such simple ideas tend to elude him? Good point, though, whatever the case.
Kim mistakenly calls what Ron calls "snackage" "lunchage", but earlier in the exact same episode she gets it correct.
^- Kim probably assumed that Ron has different terms for snacks and lunch. Therefore, the "snackage" used in the beginning of the show probably just refers to the snacks that Ron eats while watching wrestling and playing video games.
When Kim (Ron's body) bumps Ron (Kim's body) out of the way in the cheerleading competition, an "oof!" is heard. It sounds like Kim's voice, meaning that it would be Kim in Ron's body, but it was Ron in Kim's body who had a reason to say "oof!"
^-- The 'oof' is just in the opening credits. There is no dialogue at that point in the episode.
If Kim, in Ron's body, knew she might have to sub for Ron, in Kim's body, at the cheerleading competition, why didn't s/he think ahead to wear Ron's mascot uniform, sans the dog head, so s/he would look like the rest of the squad? Running out there in Ron's usual outfit kind of ruins the look of the routine, which would probably have gotten them disqualified.
^ I doubt she actually expected to have to stand in for Ron, it seemed to me she just couldn't stand watching the catastrophe that was Ron's cheerleading any longer.
Wouldn't Kim (in Ron's body) have been taken off the court by an usher considering she bumped Ron (in Kim's body) out of the way?
If it was possible for people to switch bodies they wouldn't keep their own voice because voices are part of the body, not the brain.
When the map was on the screan, there was no Japan on it.
When Shego is shown laughing after Dr. Drakken says, "Time to deliver my ultimatum.", her face is flesh colored.
Captioning goof: I noticed that every time Shego's name came up on the captioning, it was spelled "Sheego."(At least it was on my TV.) |
|
| 9. Attack of the Killer Bebes |
|
| Continuity Error: Ron joins the Middleton High cheer squad as its mascot, though his occupancy of that position led to the events of "Sink or Swim".
Incorrectly Considered a Goof: The episodes are obviously not aired in order.
^-- Incorrectly Considered Incorrect?: Yes, but the "Goofs and Nitpicks" section seemed like the best place to point out discrepancies between air order and series continuity. Do you have a better idea? If so, please voice it under "Viewer Comments".
When Ron walks away from Bonnie and Kim, he takes his stuff except the "Kim mask". A bit later, he has the mask. Maybe he has two, or got it later?
In every other Drakken episode, Shego is his mad assistant. Why isn't she in this ep?
Answer to "Shego missing" question: Drakken didn't need Shego for this episode because he had the Bebe squad, and since they think they are perfect, they might have gotten rid of her out of jealousy.
Another answer to the "Shego missing" question. Drakken was seeking revenge on the guys who humiliated him in college, so it might have been a personal thing.
Shego might also have been an escape plan. If Dr. Drakken failed (which he did), he could secretly contact Shego to bust him out.
When Ron is wearing the dad Possible mask, his mouth moves incredibly convincingly, with no line where the mask ends and Ron begins. Unless, of course, the mask fits right into his mouth, but heck. It's a suggestion.
In the opener, Kim picks at the opened end of a burrito (or something similar) with a fork. Shortly thereafter, the burrito is shown as sealed, and Kim's fork has disappeared.
Ron's mask doesn't act like a mask until *after* he's been captured. During the scene with the car the mouth opens, the eyes widen, the eyebrows dip... but when he's trapped in that cylinder and says "No!" (followed by "He's Dr. Drakken, and he's in for a world of hurt!") the Dr. Possible head just has an oblivious half-grin.
Bonnie intercepts Rufus before he can finish licking the banana cream from her hair and arms, dangling the naked mole-rat at arms length. After a quick cutaway to Ron (just long enough for a "But--!"), Rufus is still dangling, and Bonnie doesn't seem to have moved much, but the banana cream has disappeared.
During the scene when Ron, Prof. Rhamesh and Prof. Chen are in Drakken's holding pen, the bottom of Ron's pants are colored brown, to match the bottoms of the other two.
In the Sky subs, "Drakken" is spelt "Drachen", "Ramesh" spelt "Romesh" and at one point "Chen" is spelt "Chan".
When the Bebes begin to walk slowly towards Dr. Possible, Drakken's belt is the same colour as the rest of his jacket.
Dr. Possible says that he can't go faster because it's a school zone. I'm not sure if this is the case everywhere, but where I live, the school zone speed limit only applies during school hours (and this scene takes place in the middle of the night).
In the scene where Drakken says he demands "better from his lackeys, especially the robotic ones": Between "robotic" and "ones", his head leans back and there are two pairs of eyes for two frames.
Prof. Chen, Prof. Ramesh, Dr. Possible, Kim and Ron are safely at the Possibles' house after the incident with the Bebes. They are eating pizza. In the beginning of the show, Mrs. Possible mentions they are having pizza for dinner. Did the whole thing happen in one night? Or did they just have pizza two nights in a row?
-----^Maybe Shego is out sick, like in 'Sick Day'. |

| 10. Royal Pain |
|
| When Ron and Rufus are pulling up the Titanic, how can a little golf club and a naked mole-rat's hands pick up a big ship?
^-- The ship-half was a -- very likely hollow -- mini-golf prop, Ron was using his club as a lever, and the two never actually "picked up" the half, but merely tipped it over onto a nearby slope. Note also that the -- admittedly muscular -- knight was able to lift the ship into the air, and toss it a short distance, unassisted.
The lasers fired at Ron, while riding the go-cart in Europe, came from a satellite in geosynchronous orbit. Geosynchronous orbit is only over the equator. No part of Europe is on the equator.
^-- I'll admit to knowing nothing about this subject when your goof was submitted, but from what I've read since, it seems you *may* be confusing "geosynchronous" with "geostationary".
More a "Nitpick" than a "Goof": Does Wade *sleep* in that chair? He was in it pretty quickly to have been in bed.
I still can't call it a "Goof", but Barkin's hair is blonde again. Is Steve an indecisive hair-color junkie, is the blonde crew strictly an in-school 'do, or are we to assume that this episode falls somewhere in the series' continuity before "Downhill" and "Sink or Swim" (at the least)? And, if it's the lattermost, where's Wally been hiding himself?
When Ron gets up from the bleachers to nominate Kim, the blond girl behind him has either no shoes or tight, skin-colored shoes.
As Kim tells Wally and Ron what the tapestry said, Ron's sandwich is made of white bread. When Brick sits down, both his and Ron's sandwiches are made of brown bread. By the end of the scene, Brick's sandwich is on white bread, and Ron's is on brown.
When this aired on April 19, 2003, Disney accidentally put the credits for Lizzie McGuire.
Maybe Wade wears pajamas at night. He probably gets uncomfortable sitting in jeans and a t-shirt.
When Kim pastes up her own posters, her bottom lip is showing and both her lips are flesh-coloured. --KimPossibleRocks |

| 11. Coach Possible |
|
| Why would "Europe's elite" gather in a discotheque owned and operated by the self-proclaimed supervillains who'd previously held their countries' power for ransom?
Cleanup Goof: A stray, straight line inexplicably appears across Señor Senior, Sr.'s face, extending from the side his nose to the edge of his jaw for several frames as he attempts to negotiate a kingship over "everything".
Voice Nitpick (Señor Senior, Sr.): Is that REALLY Montalban? Doesn't sound like him. Seems that tonal inflections are incorrect. Sound check between "The New Ron" and "Coach Possible" gives Señor Senior, Sr. a different tonal inflection (does not sound like Ricardo to me!)
^-- You're entirely right; despite the initial credit listed in the guide, Ricardo Montalban does not appear in the end credits. Good ear. Though, listening to what little I can at the moment, I don't know how I didn't hear the difference before...
Nitpick: This is the second time Señor Senior escapes.
^-- Er... How is that even a nitpick?
When Kim enters the room that her parents are in, Kim's mom is putting a pillow behind Kim's dad's head. Yet when they show the front of his head the pillow is gone.
Nitpick: In "The New Ron", Señor Senior, Sr. remembers Ron's name (Stoppable) without hesitation. Even referring to him before Kim. Now, he can't remember Ron's name.
If Kim and Ron knew that the Seniors stole the super neon light and that they had to wear protective eyeglasses when the scientist demonstrated how the light worked, then why didn't they think to wear sunglasses before they went into the lair so they wouldn't be affected by the neon hypnotic disco ball? And where did they find a miniature pair of sunglasses for Rufus?
Nitpick to Señor Senior, Sr. not being able to remember Ron's name this time around. I believe that when he remembered Ron's name in "The New Ron" it was just a gag to heighten the effect of Ron's popularity change because of his haircut.
After Kim and Ron are hypnotized, Señor Senior, Sr. tells Junior that he modified his disco ball. Later, when Kim and Ron are de-hypnotized, he says to them, "The disco ball is not the only thing I modified," apparently assuming that they knew the disco ball was modified. But they were really hypnotized and I don't think they would have heard Senior speak to Junior.
When Junior does his video ad for his disco, he calls the club "Club Lair," but when the outside of the club is shown, the giant neon sign says it's called "Jr's."
While Kim and Ron are hypnotized, Señor Senior, Sr. says that they are open to suggestion. However, he orders his son to laugh-- surely the hypnotized Kim and Ron would have heard the command and laughed too.
Nitpick: When Kim is talking to her dad inside the house, the steam from Dr. Possible's coffee seems to be rising awfully high.
Kim and Ron were still hypnotized dancing in the cages even though the disco ball had been retracted back into the ceiling. (no ball, no hypnosis) SSS then revealed it to the people below in order to hypnotize them.
When Wade uses the Kimmunicator to see whats going on with Kim, he looks at the Hypno-Disco Ball. So why doesn't he get hypnotized too?
^-- Wade is watching the ball through the Kimmunicator and the hypnotic effect is created through ultra-bright light -- light his computer monitor is almost certainly incapable of generating.
When Kim says "It's Señor Senior, Sr. and Señor Senior, Jr.", you can see J.P. Bearymore closest to the helicopter window. For the next several shots, the beaver is closer. From SSJ's "Why not?" on, Bearymore again appears to be the closest.
^-- It seems that the hypnotic effect only works when an action is commanded to someone. Think about it... the only time anyone reacted to a command was when they were told to (like when SSJ says "Everybody must dance!" and "Everybody dance!").
When Wade tries to put the sunglasses on hypnotized Kim, for a brief frame or two, her hair is parted on the wrong side (flipped cel).
In Bueno Nacho, Rufus goes through the motions of pouring a packet of Diablo sauce over the chimerito, but the red sauce was not animated in. Also, the outline of what was supposed to be the poured on sauce suddenly shows up on the chimerito, but was not colored in.
As far as I can tell, the cages Ron and Kim were in seem to keep changing places, once they escape. It seems that they were near the front of the room, but in later shots the cages that WERE Ron and Kim's have bent doors, meaning the animatronic characters were in them instead.
When Ron says "Have you ever seen me shimmy? It's not pretty," as he and Kim hang beneath the helicopter, his glove is missing.
During Kim's line "I'm just glad Ron was there to serve as ballast", during the hot air balloon ride, Ron's left forearm is colored black, like his shirt sleeve.
After Kim and Ron land in the bushes outside Bueno Nacho, there's two seperate goofs. One, during Ron's line "Come on, we don't have much time" the color under his belt is colored black like his shirt--this is normally gray, as it's the top of his pants. None of his shirt shows under his belt. Goof #2: Ron's hair is messed up when he sits up (and there's a flower sticking out of it, a good look for him, lol), but when it shows him with Bueno Nacho in the background, his hair's back to normal.
When Kim and Ron run for SSS and SSJ just before the end of the episode (the shot before the smokescreen) Ron is closest to the camera. After the smoke vanishes, and Ron says "I hate it when they get away", he is on Kim's other side. Ah, the ol' switcheroo...
When Ron shouts "Pizzapotamus!" and dives for the robot, he gets carried up pretty high. When Kim goes for Ron soon after, she doesn't have to jump or anything to get to his feet, though she would have not only have to have leapt up on the stage, but also into the air to even REACH Ron.
Why doesn't SSS tell Kim when she is hypnotized that she obeys SSS only?
During Ron's "Yeah you are alike! Wow, that's weird!" line, the color level of his shirt keeps changing as he moves.
When Kim and Ron land in the bushes outside BN and Kim's butt is sticking up in the air, her back is black as if her shirt is tucked in.
When Kim says "Family issues," her nose is black instead of the regular tan.
When Kim has on her sunglasses, you can see that the frame sides rotate between solid plastic, and plastic with a clear triangle on the side. |

| 12. Pain King vs. Cleopatra |
|
| Up until the point where Jackie gives Kim the tickets to see GWA, Jackie's eyes are white with black pupils. For the rest of the episode, his eyes are just plain black dots.
As Ron shouts "Steel Toe rules!" near the episode's beginning, the hinder portion of his left, inside cheek becomes fully transparent, revealing the background behind it.
"Anubis" is misspelled in the papyrus scroll's spell (which is written in English -- odd for an "ancient" Egyptian document, isn't it?).
Jackie's collar is gold (rather than black) as he first lifts the ancient papyrus.
Jackie's amulet is missing as he transforms into a jackal-headed avatar of Anubis
As the Jackal welcomes "all comers" to a no-holds-barred grudge match, his jaw cel drifts behind his head.
When Kim jumps onto Jackal's back, the area around his mouth is mis-colored for a cel to match the rest of his body.
The backstage passes Jackie gives Kim are solid yellow at first, but are depicted as two-toned and orange from the cafeteria scene onward (and, yes, I realize that one could be the underside, but the depiction is consistent before and after that point).
Monique's shirt is green as she and Kim first meet in Club Banana, but red as she checks the latter out of the store.
In the coffee house scene, Kim has a spoon in her cup, but when she gets up, the spoon is gone.
Since Monique just moved to Middleton, why would she get a job at Club Banana before even starting school there?
^ - Perhaps she worked at a different Club Banana and simply was transferred to the Middleton one when she moved.
When Jackie the destroys the Pain King banner in the crowd, the man in the bottom-right corner disappears for about 1 frame (right as the laser hits the banner).
Jackie makes note of wearing "open-toe sandals" before the transformation. The Jackal is barefoot, but he gets the sandals back after he changes back. |
|
| 13. Monkey Fist Strikes |
|
| Animation Goof?: When Lord Fiske thinks Kim and Ron know his secret, he's wearing a robe and ascot. Then, in the next scene, they're gone. Either they forgot about the robe, or he threw it off, really quick.
The Kimmunicator is briefly red as Kim demonstrates one difference between the Holo-Kim and the real McCoy.
Near the conclusion of Ron's hand-to-hand battle with Monkey Fist, Fiske slams Ron to the ground. For that moment, and that moment alone, Ron's hands are bare.
The appearance and color of the monkey idols changes from the scenes where Kim gets the idol and Wade tells Kim about the legend to the scenes where Lord Fiske and Ron acquire the mystic monkey power, then changes back after Ron tells Rufus to "search and destroy".
After Ron knocks Bates on his back, the latter's hair and mustache darken for a frame as he struggles to stand.
The monkey idol in the packing crate is visible in a number of scenes after Bates is instructed to place it on the pedestal - including the one where Monkey Fist is holding all four idols.
In the scene where the Holo-Kim and Ron are talking with Monkey Fist in his castle, the two heroes keep switching positions. When seen from the back, Holo-Kim stands to Ron's left. When seen from the front, she is standing to his right.
^-- Just pointing out that, since Ron is more to the back of Holo-Kim than to her side, the jump might not be as dramatic as it seems.
As Kim scales the cliff to save the eagle, she has the Kimmunicator strapped to her wrist. As she parachutes down, it's missing. Then, when she lands, she brandishes it from nowhere.
When the ninja (Monkey Fist) picks up Ron to get the jade monkey from him, the ninja's gloves are missing.
When Ron receives mystical monkey power from the idols, the floor beneath him is yellow with no monkey image on it. However, later, as Monkey Fist is trying to catch the falling idols to keep them from breaking, the giant monkey picture on the floor is visible.
-->
When Bates opens the door to Ron and the Holo-Kim, Ron's belt is briefly grey.
When Ron says "Completely mental in this case!" and rushes past Bates, his entire outline is black, rather than grey on his shirt, pants and gloves.
As Kim and Ron are travelling to Cambodia, the plane they are flying in is obviously a jet, however the wrong sound effect was added.....the sound of a PROPELLER driven aircraft.
When Ron's mouth hangs open after Fiske's comment of personally directing questions to Kim, his tongue is white.
When "the hooded ninja" is caught stealing the monkey statue, and Kim engages him in battle, the statue disappears and reappears in the ninja's left arm (just before Kim kicks it to Ron).
Just as the fight scene between fully-gloved "hooded ninja" and Kim starts, the shot cuts to Kim, and the ninja's hand goes by her face ungloved.
How could Holo-Kim exist outside the castle since holographs can only exist indoors?
^-Actually, holograms are basically 3-D projections; which can be seen outdoors, especially at night. The real question is how could Wade project the holograms wherever he wanted and see what they "saw"? |
|
| 14. October 31st |
|
| Animation Goof: When Kim answers the phone, the bracelet disappears.
Animation Goof: When Kim finally gets to the party, both her arms are armored. But this occurs before the right one is covered.
Coloration Goof: At the end of the episode, both of Shego's gloves are green, rather than one being green, and the other black.
Coloration Goof?: First Barkin goes brunette, now Ned's a blonde. Those dye-happy Middletonites... I'll bet Mrs. P's not even a true redhead.
^--Ned, for some random reason, might just have dyed his hair for Halloween. But you never know, it could be another crazy hair color thing like Barkin, where Ned's only a brunette in Bueno Nacho.
Ron leaves the front half of his unicorn costume with Kim behind a door she presumably locks, yet has it handy to offer Josh at the episode's end.
Why would Kim allow Killigan to return to, and operate out of, his island lair?
The number of finger segments in the Centurian Project's gauntlets varies wildly from shot to shot.
Mom raises her arms in a spooky gesture as she relates the tweeb's desire to "drench [Kim] in fake blood", then withdraws them, half-concerned ("At least, I hope it's fake blood..."). In a single frame, as the camera angle changes, her left arm's back in the air, completely motionless in the foreground.
Contrary to the series' established style, Kim's lower lip is momentarily filled in as she answers her cordless phone (and crushes it in the process).
Coloration Goof: The black that tops Shego's collar appears and disappears at random throughout the episode.
Drakken was at his island lair, though in "Tick-Tick-Tick", Kim started a chain reaction that blew it up. Wasn't it totally destroyed?
It's been a while since the whole "Tick-Tick-Tick" incident, so maybe he had his men rebuild that particular lair.
Why was Kim wearing cargo pants under a princess outfit? And why did the Centurion armor form over her top and pants, but under her dress (Disney S&P aside ;)?
Explanation: Kim was wearing the cargo pants and top when the armor started to deploy. Therefore it started to cover them, but not the princess dress because she put that on later.
When Kim flashes back to the first Halloween with Ron, she has freckles. Unless I'm wrong, freckles don't go away.
If this episode is supposed to take place in the year it was first aired, there's a problem. Halloween in 2002 was on a Thursday, not an unspecified weekend day.
^--Where I live, if Halloween is on a Thursday, the weekend starts there. There's no school on Friday and some businesses close for weekend. Is it like that everywhere else?
On the subject of Kim allowing Killigan to return to his island lair: her resources are limited, especially compared to the Global Justice Network, which presumably had custody of Killigan at the end of "Number One".
Jim and Tim switch places after Mr. Dr. Possible's line: "The bracelet appears to be constructed of a super-strong alloy." Before that, Jim is on the right and Tim is on the left (Green shirt-left, Red shirt-right). After that, Tim is on the left and Jim is on the right (Red shirt-left, Green shirt-right).
The first time Kim answers her bedroom phone, its side is briefly transparent.
About the freckles goof: I had freckles when I was 5 years old, but they disappeared as I got older, so it's possible for some people to lose freckles. (KIM7813)
When Kim is upstairs talking to Wade about the Centurion Project, she's barefoot. When she answers Ron at the door, a second or two later, she has shoes on.
Wade should have known that there's no such thing as an ISP address. It is actually an IP address.
During Ron's "I don't have anything to add...." speech in the cafe after confronting Shego, Drakken and Killigan, Kim's mouth is frozen in an "O" shape.
As the Centurion Project deploys and covers Kim's head, it covers her tiara. However, when the Project retreats back into the bracelet, she is no longer wearing the tiara.
Shego's gloves are already lit as she races toward Kim in the third act ("Oh, it stops here!"), yet when the camera cuts wider, she lights them again.
About the blond Ned, it's not proven it's him. Animators recycle designs all the time, maybe they didn't want to waste time creating a new person, and just drew Ned and changed his hair color.
^-- Considering that Ned played a substantial role in the series' first (pc-wise) episode, and that the mummy-wrapped character seen in this ep is given a foreground visual gag (rather than being mere set dressing), that seems unlikely in this case (unless someone was really asleep at the wheel).
^-- Perhaps he dyed his hair for Halloween.
Re: Tiara- The armor probaqbly crushed it when it grew over her head.
When Mrs. Possible was taking up tickets, there was some disruption, I think from Jim and Tim. But a boy paid Mrs. Possible before the disruption, then after it, he paid again.
After Killigan says 'Blame the scientist who built it' Kim comes and says 'Guess what? I think THOSE SCIENTIST would like it back'. |
|
| 15. All the News |
|
| Adrena Lynn seems to have a small crew for her show. Just a cameraman apparently, from what we see. Yet, when they are driving back from shooting the "bear" stunt, the cameraman points out the empty bear suit in the back of the van. So, if he is the only crewmember, then how did he film Adrena Lynn and who was in the bear suit for that "stunt"? And I know somebody's going to say they might have hired an actor or something, but why didn't they show the person being paid off? You know to increase the effect.
When Jim first has his cast, it's suspended from a sling. But, when he's watching Kim and Andrena Lynn fight on TV, not only is the sling gone, but his cast bends so he can rest his hand on his palm.
When Ron says "I'm the one responsible for having you canceled" a section of the rope he's being held up by disappears (presumably because someone thought Ron's head would still be obscuring it).
When Ron and Kim get their lunches from the cafeteria line, they have plates. (We don't actually see Kim get hers, but let's presume it's a plate.) As they start to walk to the tables, they have bowls. After the cut back to the wide shot during the invitation scene, they have plates again.
When the Adrena Lynn 'falls' out of the blimp, she seems to move around quite a lot. Making a lot of excessive hand gestures and actually jumping off the blimp. Yet, when the rope snaps and Kim catches her, it is revealed to be a dummy. So how was the dummy able to move around like that?
What if it was an animatronic dummy? That would cause the movement.
While Bonnie and Amelia are talking to Ron about his stories in the caf, the bottom of his shirt changes from red to black often.
More of a nitpick than a goof. After he, Tim and Ron have watched Adrena Lynn, Jim comes in to the kitchen and comes back in a matter of seconds with a piece of meat and one tied on his head....it was a little quick, I mean, he had to find the meat, and tie it on in the space of five or so seconds.
^-- While you are correct in noticing that Jim (or Tim)'s trip to the kitchen was much quicker than it should have been, it was done for a good reason. In comedy, one of the most important factors is timing, which, in this case, is the only way the gag would work. Had real time been used, the impact of the joke would have been lost.
When Kim was fighting with Adrena, she was on TV! Why didn't someone come help her defeat Adrena?
^-- Someone like... who? The fight didn't last *that* long, and the police were on the scene in time to cart 'Drena away. Besides, it's Kim's series ;)
Jim and Tim can be differentiated by the color of their shirts (Jim's is green, Tim's is red), or, when otherwise costumed, by the subtle differences in their hairstyles (Tim's is spikier). However, as the tweebs decide to tie steaks to their heads and sneak into the Middleton Zoo's bear cage, these two elements are mismatched -- the spikier-haired of the two is in green (though he was in red in the previous shot).
As Ron walks off with Bonnie and Amelia, his index finger is momentarily miscolored to match the lattermost's blouse.
When Brick Flagg first approaches Kim on the football field, he has his helmet tucked underneath his right arm. For the rest of the scene, the helmet is not there.
The Middleton High pay phone that Wade uses as a landline to contact Kim is missing a few buttons.
More of a nitpick... right after Rom shows Kim the Examiner paper, she gets a message from Wade, with her locker open - couldn't Wade just use that?? She was watching the news, but still...
Another nitpick... if the Possibles had satellite TV, how come they don't have a channel 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, or 15?
When Ron was playing back the interview with Kim the tape is rewinding even though he didn't press the button.
When Ron reveals to Adrena Lynn that he "made up that stuff about Kim liking Brick", Brick responds with "Oh, harsh". But how could he hear them talking when he was about 50 feet in the air, tied to the roller coaster, with air rushing past his ears?
Maybe Adrena Lynn's show was a show shown on local TV stations (I.E. Fox, WB, ABC, etc.). How else would it been on the TV in the hospital?
During Adrena-Lynn's midair admission to being less-than-extreme, the gray bands around her wrists (an undershirt?) disappear.
At the end of the episode, when Kim says "You do?" to Brick and "Thank you" to Rufus, her backpack is missing.
If Kim deployed her jet pack backpack to save Brick, then why do we see the jet pack packed up and back in the pack at the very end (when the pack deploys, it destroys the backpack).
As Brick talks to Kim at lunch, the button on his jacket disappears.
In the far away shot of Kim and Ron on the motor scooter, when Ron says there's nothing down the road but the old Middleton fairgrounds, his mouth is missing.
In an even wider shot, as Adrena Lynn ties Ron to the swing ride and Ron says the ride always makes him throw up, his mouth isn't moving.
At the beginning, when Ron takes the paper away from Kim, it looks like he's stuffing it in a paper folder, but in the next shot it looks like a bunch of loose papers.
Tara is not seen to be at the first cheerleader practice, yet she, not Blonde-Straight, is one of the cheerleaders who runs off past Kim and Brick and Ron a few scenes later.
When Kim answers Wade on the telephone, she doesn't hold the phone all the way up to her ear (maybe Wade was talking loud enough for her to hear and there was no reason to hold it that close?).
During her cheer routine, when Kim says "Who's gonna win against Eastside? Who? Who?" her hair is parted on the wrong side (flipped cel).
About the missing satellite channels... Satellite TV channels do not really go in order. I have a satellite TV, and the channels start at 100, and a lot of them are even numbers (and most of the odds are just the west coast airings of the previous channel).
Several times in this episode, the point where Ron's black (mission) shirt sleeves meet his shoulders changes appearances. At times there's a line, possibly a seam, while in other shots it's a smooth, uninterrupted connection.
In this episode (and other S1 eps by Toon City Animation), some character's mouths don't move for the first moment or so after they enter a scene. Their lips catch up on the third or fourth word or so.
In the close-up shot of Kim and Ron riding to the fairgrounds, Kim's left glove (the hand holding onto Ron, before she puts both around his waist) is missing.
When Adrena Lynn takes over all the tv station the tv is on channel 4. Kim's dad hits the next channel button. Then when they pan out onto the tv, it's still on 4. |

| 16. Kimitation Nation |
|
The black that tops Shego's collar disappears and reappears too many times to mention.
Every hair sample (including Ron's, Bonnie's, even Rufus's whisker) is depicted as red (presumably to conceal its true source from Drakken, and the audience, but still).
Kim's locker door opens the wrong way at the end of this episode. In all the other episodes the door hinges on the right (inside locker viewpoint). However, in this episode, it hinges on the left (inside locker viewpoint).
Coloration Goof?: Contrary to the series' established style, the intial clone's lower lip is briefly filled in as she spits out a piece of the photo she's been chewing up.
^-- It might not be so much a goof as it is an exception. The same thing happened in 'October 31st', when Kim picked up (and in the process, crushed) a cordless phone. Maybe the lower lip gets shaded in when doing the 'o' sound.
^-- Considering all known occurances of this 'goof', it seems more likely that those coloring the cels have, every so often, mistaken the line of a lower lip as being closed, and filled it in. Particularly in this episode's case, where the lip line really *was* closed -- by the line of the clone's cheek.
Coloration Goof: As Kim beams Wade the Kimmunicator's clone goo analysis, his right forearm is blue, as though he were wearing long sleeves. However, after a quick shot of Kim, he's in his usual short-sleeved T-shirt for a few shots, followed by a relapse of blue-arm as he mentions the lair-like energy source.
Before Drakken finds his *new* Kim clone to be Rufus you can see for about a sec. his right sleeve is gone again, then it reappears. This was a mistake mainly because of the reusing of cels in this episode.
When Kim is (finally) cloned, her clones are wearing her mission clothes, but she is wearing her normal outfit.
^-- Which raises another point -- you can't clone clothing.
When Kim and Ron leap over one of Drakken's men, he crashes into three Bonnie clones. One of the three Bonnies had already been melted and the rest of the shots have only two Bonnie clones.
At the Bueno Nacho scene, you see Rufus with no clothes on. At the next shot, suddenly he was wearing Kim's outfit.
In the scene with Kim and Ron meeting the scientist with the space laser, Kim shakes hands with the scientist and her bellybutton disappears for a few seconds.
When Kim switches off the Kimmunicator, Wade remains on the screen.
When Ron peeks out from behind the counter at Bueno Nacho, his freckles aren't shaded in.
Ron's pants have pockets on their sides...When the Ron clones are coming towards the real Ron when they first "meet", the clone Rons (or at least one of them) don't have pockets on their pants.
Nitpick: In some shots, the DNA is depicted as auburn (Kim's hair color), but in the shot when the hairs are in the beaker, they're black.
Continuity: When Ron is cloned, Drakken's pink goggles are over his face. They were never put on.
^-- This, along with several other scenes, was reused from an earlier point in the episode.
Even though Rufus is supposedly naked, when he swallows Ron's pudding in the beginning he has quite a lot of hairs...
Neverending shrimp? When the seniors are eating shrimp at the beginning of the show, the first few times they eat the shrimp off the dish they come right back, then start to disappear.
After the clone Rons are melted, Ron falls in the gunk they leave behind, and is completely covered from head to toe, yet one second later when Drakken comes in, he is clean.
Also seen in the above images: Ron's shirt is miscolored as Rufus gags.
Shego says 'again with the cloning' when Draken has not used clones before, at least to our knowledge.
^-- One of the core concepts behind Drakken and Shego seems to be that they've been at this for a while, far more than we've seen in the series. The way this particular scene plays out, it sounds like Drakken has been *trying* to clone Shego for some time, now -- that it was one of the many annoyances she'd had to deal with on the job (albeit the one that served as the 'final' straw).
How could the Bonnie clone get the picture of Kim if she was behind glass? Drakken had the picture!
Really a nitpick, but when Drakken tunes into the Style File, the hostess says it was inspired by Kim Possible. So wouldn't Bonnie know that the look was created by K.P.? (Possible answers, one, that's the joke, and two, Bonnie's just being Bonnie.)
Re: Bonnie not knowing about Kim Style-- you have to remember that Bonnie is a self absorbed twit. After all, later in the ep, she complains that Kim is "always wearing the same thing day after day" when she herself is dressed in the cheerleading uniform she seems to wear 24/7 (except the time she was in Pink Poof). Pot calling the kettle black?
As Kim sprays the clones with soda, the dispenser head changes from a spray gun to a nozzled box.
Nitpick: How could Drakken get a paper cut when he is wearing gloves?
After Kim says "Then so are we" she turns off the Kimmunicator, however Wade remains on the screen.
When Ron says "How can this be sticky and slippery at the same time?" his eyebrows aren't shaded in.
In one of the scenes when Dr. Drakken is in his "Mr. Potty" truck, the words "Mr. Potty" are missing (but the ugly picture of Dr. Drakken is still there).
^-- Also visible in the above screencaps: The truck's exhaust pipe jumps sides.
When Drakken opens the curtains to his cloning machine, he says: "My Kim clone!" He normally refers to her as "Kim Possible".
^-- In addition to the "spray gun-nozzle box" goof, as Kim sprays the box, her hair isn't parted. Animation goof?
The shot of Drakken opening the curtain while missing a sleeve is used at least twice in this episode.
The lemonade on the Bonnie clones turns green a split second before they're sprayed with the soda.
Ron's bag with his Kim for Him outfit has club banana on the outside of it. But in many other episodes, Kim is the one who shops at Club Banana, and he is a Smarty Mart shopper. The merchindise would also be at both places,(said so in a different episode)
In the beggining the thing that Draaken and Shego where in sank.How did they get back out of it?It showed that it had sunk so how come they got back out,excpecially Shego since she was stuck outside of it and probally could not get back in!
^-- Drakken was on a video monitor on the blimp, meaning that he might not necessarily be [i]in[/i] the blimp. It could be he is making the appearance via satellite. As for Shego, the time between her going down with the blimp and her apperance at the lair is undefined. Though you have to allow for at least a day, seeing as the next time we see her is right after there is a cut from Kim, Ron and Monique at lunch the next day.
When we first see Drakken and Shego talking in Drakken's lair, Shego is filing her nails with her gloves on.
How did KP's string grow back on the Blow dryer Hook Gun Thing because Shego cut the line?
Captioning Goof: Again, I see that they spelled Shego's name with two e's instead of one.
If Shego really hated Kim, why would she be reading a magazine about Kim style clothing? |
|
| 17. The Twin Factor |
|
| When the mind-controlled Kim and Shego finally stop Ron, for a moment the camera shows Shego in just her regular uniform, without her apron and oven mitts.
When Kim faces the Tweebs and Ron outside of Drakken's lair, Ron raises his hand behind the two tweebs, and he has no gloves. Again.
Just before the mind-controlled Shego and Kim collide, Shego's lower lip is filled in for a frame.
Shego's pink oven mitts are colored to match her uniform as Drakken orders her to "destroy that little bald thing". The same thing happens later, as Shego races after Ron, although, this time, they've sprouted fingers -- a common occurance over the episode's third act.
When Ron is being chased by Shego and Kim, Shego goes through the door and she doesn't have her apron on. A moment later it's back on again.
It's nothing new, but the black that tops Shego's collar is frequently missing. Fortunately, though she wears a similar outfit in this episode, Kim never has any to lose.
Animation Goof: In the opener, the hair between Shego's elbow and torso disappears.
When Kim first appears in the forest in Shego's outfit (before commercial), her, umm, "posterior" is green. After the commercial, it's black, like Shego's.
If you watch closely during Shego's rant to Drakken in the end, her pink oven mitts come off inexplicably.
^-- I considered this, myself, but decided there was plenty of time from the point Shego removes her apron, to the time she enters Drakken's frame for her to have thrown off the mitts, as well.
When Drakken is telling Shego about the device he created to control rubber products, Shego has her pink apron and gloves on, but for the rest of the scene she is without them.
Nitpick:If Wade can see Kim through the Kimmunicator, the why would he tease her about the photo?
^--Kim didn't have the Kimmunicator when she was brushing her teeth, and Wade got the photo just like Bonnie did.
Why do Kim and Shego start chasing after Ron and Rufus when Drakken directly ordered them to attack the twins?
When Jim and Tim deactivate the mind control chips on Kim and Shego, they appear to disintegrate, but later, when Kim turns off the chips on the twins, they just pop off their foreheads. First off, why didn't they disintegrate, and second, where did Kim get control chips to put on the "tweebs" if the ones she and Sheego were wearing were destroyed? There were only two chips, the one Sheego stole and the one Drakken built and put on Kim.
When Kim faces the Tweebs and Ron outside of Drakken's lair, Ron raises his hand behind the two tweebs, and he has no gloves. Again.
The mind-controlled Kim's outfit, while similar to Shego's, lacks a leg pouch -- until it spontaneously sprouts one in the middle of an attack. From that point on, it's fairly consistantly shown.
As Ron begins his attempt to stall the mind-controlled Shego and Kim, the band around Kim's upper calf vanishes, leaving her lower leg momentarily detached.
This is a more a question than a nitpick, but are we presuming that there is something in the design of the chips that prevents people other than the person (in this case, Drakken) who first commanded someone under the influence of the chip from doing so?
When Rufus comes over to Kim and Ron and is burned from when the Silicon Phase Disrupter blew up, he has cowlicks. But he's a NAKED mole rat, meaning he has no fur for cowlicks to be in!
For one shot, as Dr. Cyrus Bortel says that "ferociously unethical" is a little harsh, Kim has Ron's colour pants and Ron, Kim's.
When we first see Kim's picture, she is looking at the camera. When Wade laughs at her about the picture and turns the screen around, Kim's eyes are looking to our right.
When Rufus says "mmm-hmm, good plan, mmm-hmm, yeah" his mouth doesn't move (on the tree, remember?). --KimPossibleRocks
^-- Rufus's lips rarely move to match what he's saying; much of his "dialogue" seems to be improvisation, dubbed in post-animation (à la Popeye).
Re: Rufus with the cowlicks. Just wanted to state that being a mammal (and judging by IRL naked mole rats), Rufus has a very fine coat of fur, so he's not TOTALLY naked. Though, there's no way there'd be enough for the messiness of his fur in the screenshot, so the goof still stands.
Nitpick: How would Ron know about Drakken's twisted childhood stories unless he heard them from Drakken and to the best of our knowledge in this season Ron has had no close personal contact with Drakken. (at least long enough for Drakken to tell him a story)
When the plane is spiraling downward, Rufus's oxygen mask is semitransparent. But once Kim reattaches the hose, his mask is opaque.
Response to Ron's knowing about Drakken's twisted childhood: It's a common thing in TV for the mad scientist to have been teased as a child, eventually driving him to villainy.
Drakken says that the Tweebs aren't clones, just garden variety twins. However, technically, identical twins are an example of natural cloning. |
|
| 18. Animal Attraction |
|
| As Bonnie attempts to wave Amelia over, the, erm, "solidly-built" cheerleader from "Tick-Tick-Tick" is back and sitting with Bonnie, along with a pony-tailed cheerleader, who, though we see only the back of her head, doesn't resemble any of those seen on the squad before or since. The latter's hair also changes from black to blonde, as she gains a bracelet (or wristband) and loses an ear.
The photo of Drakken on the inside of Kim's locker door vanishes as an embarrassed Kim indirectly admits to taking the Animology quiz, because she "can't resist a challenge".
Junior's given a wandering mole in a couple of the opener's shots.
Ron's perpetual cowlick poofs out between shots, from a few thin hairs to a massive tuft, as Kim leaves him and his Animology book to head for practice.
Cleanup Goof: Just before the above, a stray line appears beside Ron's nose (presumably mistaken for a nostril).
The pony-tailed cheerleader is also on the bleachers near the episode's beginning -- but as a redhead, this time.
The cheerleader sitting behind Bonnie on the bleachers has black hair in the wide shot, and blonde when we cut in closer.
Is Phillipe Bullion's monogrammed medallion on a chain, or pinned to his clavicle? If that line beneath his ample chin is meant to be a chain (rather than simply a neck crease), it detaches several times, leaving the gold piece floating on Phillipe's upper chest.
When Kim says "Good little hairless rodent", one of Ron's feet can be seen, clearly not frozen.
Continuity error: Pop-pop Porter. Kim knows nothing about him in this episode, though she interacted with him in "All the News".
The Billionaire Club lobster (which is so large that it appears to have an apple in its mouth) is facing the wrong way as Junior tears off a claw. The contents of the table it sits on are also very inconsistent, and, in this specific case, none of the candles, grapes, and glasses that are sometimes seen in wider shots are present.
Bullion's copy of "Euro Today" disappears from the table from the time he sets it down, to the time he picks it up again.
As seen in the pics for the lobster and Euro Today goofs, the picture on the front of Junior's Animology book temporarily disappears.
When the cryovator first arrives at the Billionaires Club, the swimsuit on the woman at the far left of the screen first changes from an apparent one-piece to a bikini, then swaps colors with that of the beach's other bikini-clad sunbather.
How exclusive can the Billionaire's Club be? Among those seen fleeing its island: three of Middleton High's more ubiquitous students and three of the Mad Dog Squad's cheerleaders (including the mysterious Ponytail).
When Kim goes to cheerleader practice, she goes through the single door of a Middleton High classroom yet when she gets to the other side they're the double doors of the gym. Someone could say that is not actually a goof because the two shots are not technically consecutive, but the intervening shot is Ron blinking his eyes twice, and there is only one sound of a door opening and closing.
The exterior of Middleton High is shown five times, utilizing three sequences of flag animation. In the sequence used for the first and fourth shots, the flag has no stars, in the second shot, it has has five, and in the third and fifth, there are seven.
Kim's eyes alternate between green and grey thoughout the episode.
Logistics error: During the call from Wade about Pop-Pop Porter, Kim says she "avoids fried foods." Yet she eats often at Bueno Nacho. After all, they're not called reBAKED beans.
Addition to Logistics error: Kim's breakfast in "Twin Factor" - bacon and eggs? So fried!
At the end of the episode, after Wade has delivered Senor Senior, Jr.'s e-card, Wade laughs with his hands in the air. His left arm is hidden behind his computer monitor. As the screen fades to black, the monitor fades away and Wade's left arm can be seen.
When Ron is polishing off those millions of corndogs and he flicks away one of the cocktail sticks, he has no gloves.
As Kim and Ron are lying on the conveyor, Kim's glove goes missing twice: The first time before they start moving, and the second as Rufus runs out of Ron's pocket to push the red button.
As Kim takes the animalogy quiz, her tongue is colored white, not pink, as she sticks it out.
^-- Either those are her teeth, and not her tongue, or somebody mistakenly assumed this to be the case. Considering all frames: I'm going to have to go with the former.
In the opening sequence, SSS and SSJ escape via jet packs, however prior to the opening of the vault, they are not wearing any.
^-- The jet packs could've been hidden. In all of the 007 flicks, they always have hidden parachutes for aerial stunts.
^-- The jetpacks are bulky, metal, and appear seemingly without disturbing the Seniors' relatively close-fitting clothing. Were this not an animated series, the "hidden" theory would be entirely implausible... unless, perhaps, the jetpacks were hidden off their persons. The safecracker robot is large enough to conceal the packs, but its tentacles would have to work almost impossibly fast to distribute them during the quick cut to SSS's remote control.
When the flowers fall out of Kim's locker, some of the flowers can be seen to the left of the monitor. When the locker is seen from the front, these flowers are gone.
The Middleton High gym doors are blue in this episode instead of the usual orange.
As Kim says "Señor Senior, Jr." after Wade gets the air quality anaylisis, her shirt sleeves are longer than they should be (down past her gloves).
During the segment where Ron's trying to convince Kim how great Animology is, the spine of the book he's holding changes sides several times.
Ron and Kim board Pop Pop Porter's "big 'lil corndog" in their normal outfits, without any extra baggage, save for Kim's backpack. In the next shot they appear in (presumably after the ride), they're both wearing their mission outfits. I know cargo pant pockets are big, but big enough to hold entire outfits? And as long as I'm here, Kim's backpack vanishes in the shot where the blimp lands, just before Ron walks over to it.
When Kim and Ron are on the conveyer belt, they pass the same set of stairs three times. |
|
| 19. Monkey Ninjas in Space |
|
| When Kim shoves Ron out of the Rocket Booster room, she has no backpack, yet when she is crossing the carpark she has one.
At the end, when Kim takes off her space helmet and throws it at Monkey Fist, he breaks it, but when Kim and Ron get off the space ship, she has her helmet back.
^-- There could be a spare helmet on board. I think a space program would be prepared for a situation where equipment breaks.
The security guard from the Blandsfield Zoo can be seen helping Frank the booth guard (now inexplicably voiced by a different actor) restrain Lord Fiske at the episode's end. Guess they just needed some generic security, and someone either wasn't paying close enough attention, or assumed viewers wouldn't be.
Kim's shirt doesn't fit, but Ron's does? It may be due to the series' established style though...
Why does Ron seem to be the only one who knows Monty Fiske's real name, calling him "Monty Freak"? Kim and Wade don't seem to know. And wouldn't Kim's dad know about Monkey Fist? Kim would have most likely told him.
^-- What are you basing any of this on? Kim may call Fiske by his assumed name, rather than his given name, but that doesn't mean she's unaware of his alternate identity -- indeed, she refers to his monkeyness as "Lord Monkey Fist" in the final act. Besides, I fail to see what difference this makes to the episode, one way or the other. Further, regarding your second question, I can find no evidence that Dad *didn't* "know about Monkey Fist". Care to clarify?
^-- Maybe they call him Monkey Fist because he isn't really Monty Fiske anymore. He's abandoned all elements of his past life, meaning that he's not really the same person. Follow?
When Rufus chews through the roof, it becomes jagged and rigid. When they go down, it is now perfect again.
^-- When do we see the vent again after Rufus has chewed through it? That shot's immediately followed by a wipe to Ron dropping from a ventilation shaft into a Space Center hallway.
When Kim and Frederick approach the space station, Dr. Possible says to Frederick, " Reduce rockets to max speed." How can you REDUCE to the maximum??
^-- Incorrectly considered a goof: Dr. Possible says "match speed", not "max speed". You'd have a brilliant goof there, though, otherwise, I'll admit.
If no boys are allowed EVER, wouldn't Ron not be allowed to be Kim's sidekick??
I doubt that's what Dad meant by "no boys" (and Kim doesn't seem to think of Ron as a "boy", in that sense, anyway).
The bearded scientist's mouth doesn't move correctly with the words.
How could Frederick's suit have the WHOLE English language in just six buttons?!
^-- Creative license. And it's a pretty big leap to assume the suit was equipped with a database of the entire English language, given the limited vocabularly Frederick displayed in this episode.
^-- It may not have had the entire English language, but Fredrick DID say (or at least pushed buttons to say) more than just six words.
^-- True, but it's silly to assume that each button corresponded only to one specific word; that'd be unbelievably inefficient. While the folks at "KP" may not have worked out a functional system (and who would expect them to for a single episode?), there are certainly ways to accomplish more than six tasks using a six-button input configuration.
As Monkey Fist and his monkey ninjas seal off mission control, the number of Rocket Booster hopefuls jumps from five to six. By the end of the day, no fewer than eight potential Boosters rush Kim as she exits Dad's shuttle. Late arrivals, perhaps?
When Kim and Ron are fighting Monkey Fist and his ninjas in space, Frederick turns the artificial gravity off, but, while the other characters start floating, Frederick and several background objects remain grounded. Why didn't they float as well?
About the Zero-gravity goof: Maybe some of those things were bolted down. (KIM7813)
When Kim answers Ron at the door of her house, her hair is parted on the wrong side (her left as opposed to her right, which is normally where it's parted on).
Kim gets locked in a closet by Monkey Fist. How could she get locked *in*? All locks lock on the inside. The only way this is possibe is if Monkey Fist had a key to the closet.
When one of the Rocket Booster children says "I think she's my babysitter", the girl with blonde pigtails is the one whose head is moving, implying that she is saying the line. But when we cut to a wide shot halfway through the line, the black-haired kid standing next to her is the one whose mouth is moving.
Monkey Fist's chin switches between pointy and squared off at different points in this episode.
At one point when the Mystical Monkey Monk appears to the monkey ninjas at the end of the episode, his monkey lacks any lighter coloring on his face.
After the artificial gravity is turned off. Kim is capable of moving through the air with out pushing off of anything. This is a physical impossibility. |
|
| 20. Ron the Man |
|
| When Drakken, Shego and his henchmen are climbing down the building, the henchmen change in number frequently.
When Drakken climbs out of the pool he slicks his hair back into spikes, yet when he orders his henchmen to attack his hair is flat again.
When Wade show's Ron's new energy signature, the signature appears by the entrance. Ron takes a step back to see the signature move and the signature moves all the way over to the other side of the building.
When Ron's stuck in the ventilation shaft, one of his hands is pressing against the wall outside of the shaft (so he can raise his hand about Rabbi Katz's comment) and then, when he's trying to get the ring off, he realizes his other hand has somehow wedged between his chest and the bottom of the shaft.
^-- I think the key concept here is not so much that his left hand was stuck, but that he couldn't squeeze it past his now-enormous chest to remove the ring on his right hand. The implication, then, is that his left became wedged-in as he attempted the above, some time after we last saw it free.
When Ron is in the ventilation shaft, and reaches to get the Pan Dimensional Vortex Inducer, he bends the shaft out of shape. Then later, the shaft appears to be perfectly straight.
Nitpick: The second (re-used) shot of Jilly from Jersey jumping in surprise was completely unnecessary.
Why would Ron hold Kim upside down too?
^-- Kim and Shego's upper bodies were in the shaft; Ron had little option but to grab them by their feet... and it's fairly difficult for even the unnaturally strong to hold someone right-side-up by their ankle.
Kim's upper lip is all but missing as she stares at the heap Ron's made of Drakken's henchmen.
As seen in two out of three instances of the below-mentioned recurring shot: Drakken's scar is under the wrong eye, as the cels have been flipped horizontally for their reuse.
When Kim is reading from the stack of client correspondence on the receptionist's desk at Henchco, she mentions Señor Senior Senior. SSS is not known for using henchmen.
^-- As evident by this episode's plot-essential ring, Jack also deals in villainous technology, which the Seniors use in spades. To site a specific example, the jet packs the Seniors fire up in "Animal Attraction" are very similar to those Dementor's goons employ, suggesting, perhaps, a link back to HenchCo.
Nitpick: When Drakken and Shego step out of the elevator, the indicator lights are reversed from the norm - usually the light to indicate "up" is lit in green, not red.
How exactly does Dementor leave the mountain lab? He's not wearing a jetpack, and we explicitly see all his men take off without him. I guess it's possible they swept back in after him, but that doesn't seem very efficient/safe.
Drakken's henchmen have always looked muscular (or bulky) when we've seen them in previous episodes, yet here they are 98-pound weaklings until the acquisition of the molecular muscle enhancer.
(About Ron picking up Shego and Kim) What seems more awkward than Ron picking up Kim is that he drops both, before he heads into the vent!
At the end of the episode, after Rabbi Katz signs Ron's bar mitzvah certificate, he says, "There you go, Ronald - now it's official." As he says "now it's official," Ron appears to mouth the phrase a split second behind Rabbi Katz - suggesting that this was to be Ron's line before a script revision, and either the animators started to draw it that way, or added Katz's mouth motion and didn't clean up Ron's.
^-- It looks like Ron just opens his mouth, forms an "Ooh!" shape with it, then smiles toothily. It's possible this wasn't meant to represent dialogue.
After Ron says "The manly resort", Kim slaps her hands over her eyes. However right before that she was holding the Kimmunicator and her books, she could not have put them away that fast.
During Wade's "energy signature" line, the screen of the Kimmunicator is missing its light blue border.
Nitpick, I guess: The animation used for Ron's "manly dot" and "manly resort" lines are the same.
The movement of the manly dot is completely out of proportion with Ron's movement.
^-- (Regarding switching lights) This seems to be a recurring theme in KP and is also evident in "The Fearless Ferret" when Ron confronts the two thugs who are trying to break into the car. (The traffic lights in the background are (from top to bottom) green, yellow and red) |
|
| 21. Low Budget |
|
| Kim's skin tone is completely pink all the way through this episode, bar when she swims underwater.
^- Kay, I apologize for that mistake....Kim's skin-tone returns to normal from the scene that she goes to visit Lucre's home.
^-- Perhaps Kim was sunburned and it wasn't explained. She WAS out in the wild a lot from the beginning of the episode...
When Ron says 'Steel Toe versus Pain King!' his mouth doesn't move.
Maybe there are a few aisles in Smarty Mart dedicated to animals, but Ron says he bought Rufus from aisle sixteen, whereas Lucre's snapping turtles are bought from aisle ten- 'next to the goldfish'. Aisle ten is also where Kim got some new pants from.
Frugal steals the microphone from the Smarty Mart 'Brain' mascot ('Vienna sausages- ten cans for a dollar!'). A crowd racing to get the sausages ensues, and if you slow it down, you can see the mascot running to get them too! He obviously should have known that there wasn't really an offer on.
^-- Or not. It's entirely possible that a guy hired to stand around in a brain suit might not be aware of every decision the store's management makes. | |
