Disney Makes New Season Possible for Kim

Disney will bring back its animated hit Kim Possible for a fourth
season, resuming production soon on 22 new episodes. The action comedy
about high school cheerleader-turned-superhero is one of Disney's
biggest hits worldwide and runs on Disney Channel, Toon Disney and the
ABC Kids daytime programming block on the ABC broadcast network. The
show, executive produced by creators Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle,
premiered in June, 2002.

Ensuring Kim's staying power is important to the commercial-free
Disney Channel, as the show brings in revenue through off-television
streams, such as its line of consumer products and its characters at
Disney's theme parks.

To support the show's retail goods, Disney inked a multi-year
agreement with Super RTL, which broadcasts the show in Europe. The
company, owned equally by The Walt Disney Company and RTL Group, will
join with Disney Consumer Products to take charge of some Kim Possible
licensed products in Germany and German-speaking countries.
