Now we move onto a Disney show, presenting 00s sensation Kim Possible.

Kim Possible is about a crime fighting teenage girl who is perfect at literally anything while her partner Ron Stoppable can't do anything. A typical episode would feature a colorful villain, usually Dr Drakken, (a rejected character design from Doug) coming up with an evil plan to take over the world only for it to be thwarted by Kim and Ron along with the assistance of computer genius Wade and naked mole rat Rufus; there's also a sub plot dealing with school, home or relationship problems come final season.
Now if you grew up in the 90s, you were led to believe that cheerleaders are evil, because of obsessions with vanity or just being an alpha bitch, where as the loveable loser remains a loser and will either become bully bait or overcome the problem in the weirdest way possible but Kim Possible sets out to make things different by giving Kim flaws and making Ron not only more capable but achieving something even anime characters can't do, which is leave the friend zone and come out as the boyfriend, this wouldn't be achieved again until Danny Phantom; and if you can come up with anime examples of leaving the friend zone, then I counter by saying "Leaving the Friend Zone without cheating" or the "gift of super horny powers" in some cases.
That's the main beauty of the show, it takes what you think is a bad idea and turns it around into something good, even the villains are more complex than you think, especially with henchwoman Shego who lampshades every mistake Dr Drakken makes but still can't take it upon herself to leave his side, which she also lampshades.
This doesn't even use the "hide your secret" trope as it's obvious to the world that she is a secret agent cheerleader, as she can simply call favors from random characters which explains why she can get places so easily.
Disney just seems to make the most positive of female role models without much effort and Kim Possible is another one to add to the collection on a TV cartoon level, joining other strong female role models such as Gadget Hackwrench, Rebecca Cunningham, Ashley Spinelli and Mabel Pines.
Equally Ron Stoppable is a very positive male role model for the socially awkward, which there are very few and difficult to name.
Overall you can't get much better than Kim Possible, proving that the 00s did manage to produce some great cartoons.
