## Plot

Dr. Drakken has been developing a new and elaborate master plan to take over the world that baffles everyone, even his sidekick Shego.
 Among the plan's stages are the procurement of a new toy design stolen
from Japanese developer Nakasumi, the creation of synthodrone androids,
and a bizarre research project investigating the lifestyle of teenage
girls.

Meanwhile, Kim Possible realizes that her crime-fighting lifestyle has left her with only Ron Stoppable
 as a potential date for the junior prom, much to her distress. Ron
introduces Kim to Eric, a new student, and they soon become a couple,
causing a jealous Ron to find himself edged out of Kim's life. Ron also
begins to notice numerous annoying changes at Bueno Nacho, his favorite
fast-food chain.

Drakken kidnaps Kim's father, who possesses the most advanced
cybertronic technology in existence, which can fix, modify, or enlarge
any machine. Kim and Ron rescue Dr. Possible, unaware that Drakken has
already obtained his knowledge in cybertronics by tapping his brain.
Bueno Nacho introduces their first kiddie meals, which come with toy
robot figures called "Lil' Diablos" (based on Nakasumi's design) that
become vastly popular worldwide. Kim realizes Ron's growing unhappiness
and talks with him, promising that her new relationship with Eric will
not affect their friendship. While Kim and Eric attend prom together,
Ron, depressed and conflicted by his changing feelings for Kim, becomes
upset again by Bueno Nacho and makes a call complaining to the new
owner, who is revealed to be Drakken. Lars, Bueno Nacho's new manager
and one of Drakken's goons, activates the Diablo army of toys which
pursue Ron and his pet mole-rat Rufus.

Escaping the Diablos, Ron bursts into the prom to warn Kim about
the toys. Kim contacts her assistant Wade, who confirms that the Diablos
 are made from Dr. Possible's technology. In retaliation, Drakken
attacks Middleton, transforming the toys into large, deadly robots with a
 command signal at Bueno Nacho. With help from the Possible family, Kim
and Ron destroy the command signal, disabling the Diablos. Drakken shows
 Kim that Shego has kidnapped Eric after she left the prom dance, and
demands her surrender in exchange for Eric's safety.

Kim dons a new experimental battle suit
 and heads with Ron and Rufus to Bueno Nacho headquarters, where Drakken
 and his forces are operating from. Kim fights and defeats Shego before
reuniting with Eric, who is revealed to be a synthodrone made by Drakken
 to distract her from his plans; he shocks Kim unconscious and she is
captured along with Ron. At midnight, Drakken launches a worldwide
attack with the giant Diablo robots. Kim admits defeat and gives up, but
 Ron encourages her by finally confessing his feelings for her, which
she accepts. Rufus then helps them escape and they head to Bueno Nacho's
 roof to destroy the tower controlling the Diablos with an EMP.
 Shego and Eric intervene, but Kim fires the EMP at the tower. Eric
catches it just in time, but Rufus destroys him by puncturing his foot,
draining all his cyber liquid and making him drop the EMP on the tower,
shutting down all the robots and returning them to their normal sizes.
Drakken, Shego, and their henchmen are arrested and Kim and Ron are
hailed as heroes for saving the world once again. They return to prom
holding hands, where students cheer them as they dance and share their
first real kiss.

 movie may not be fine art but would be enjoyable for the right
