She's your basic average girl and she's coming to live action! Disney Channel has finally released the cast of lead roles for Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable for the upcoming live action adaption of the television show. Sadie Stanley and Sean Giambrone will star as Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable respectively. Giambrone stars in the ABC comedy, "The Goldbergs" while Stanley is an unknown who scored the role in her first ever audition. The movie is set to go into production this summer and is set to debut in 2019.

“Sadie delivers Kim’s confidence, smarts, and agility; most importantly, she’s an everyday girl with an extraordinary spirit,” said Judy Taylor, senior vice president of casting and talent relations for Disney Channel. “Sean is such a magnetic actor; he always finds the right balance of physical comedy and heart. We’re excited for audiences to see Sadie and Sean bring these iconic roles to life.”

The movie was announced back in February. For many like myself, lots of people grew up with KimPossible on our screens and lots of hype is being put on the adaption of this film. The show launched in 2002 on Disney Channel and ran for 87 episodes. Two animated Disney Channel movies were inspired by the series, “Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama” and “Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time.” Christy Carlson-Romano voiced Kim in the series, with Will Friedle voicing Ron.

I always looked up to Kim Possible as a kid and now I definitely consider her to be a cartoon feminist icon. Kim mostly battles male villains, has combat and critical thinking skills, and is never overshadowed by Ron, but always makes sure he knows that he is a help to her. Along with Kim, Shego (henchwoman to Possible's nemesis), Shego runs the show. She never straight up takes Drakken's orders, is strong willed and more sensible than her boss at times. The show was a great platform for kids like myself to grow up seeing and it is so exciting to see that kids now will be able to discover the show through the new movie.

The casting was announced through a fun video featuring Friedle and Carlson-Romano "passing off the torch" to Giambrone and Stanley. Side note: if you are not following Friedle on any social media, I highly recommend doing so.

The announcement of the casting makes the movie anticipation go up even higher and can't wait to see this movie when it comes out. The Kim Possible live action will be premiering in 2019 only on Disney Channel!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
