    I like some parts of this episode, but I didn't really like the story. Kim and Ron go on a school skiing trip and meet DNAmy which wants to make an army of mutant creatures. The story just did not interest me and it seemed a bit cheesy at times. I liked the story of Kim's parents being embarrassing because every kid can relate to that, just maybe not on that extent. The parent's being embarrassing story line was unoriginal , but it was still funny and interesting. Overall , ok episode with many funny moments and a weird story line.moreless

    The students of Middleton High head on a trip to Mt. Middleton for a little winter activity. Unfortunately, the trip is short on adult chaperones, so Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Possible are called upon for assistance. Good ol' Bonnie (who made this arrangement) watches as Kim suffers the embarrassment of her parents ingratiating themselves with the teens and revealing childhood secrets, like the fact that she once collected Cuddle Buddies, and still does.

    Meanwhile, in a somewhat more interesting part of the story, Ron and Mr. Barkin search for the fabled Snow Beast of Mt. Middleton in hopes of attaining fame and the reward. What they find is Amy Hall, a sweet-natured woman who invites the men to her place. They soon discover that she is to Cuddle Buddies what Annie Wilkes was to Paul Sheldon's books. Also, she delights in creating real life Cuddle Buddies, which, by the way, are combinations of different animals. Next on the list: Barkin and Rufus.

    This episode comes to life every so often, with DNAmy's politeness a nice contrast to her less-than-reasonable lifestyle, but it's rather flat stuff. However, the 'Possible family outing' plot thread is worth sticking around for Mrs. Dr. Possible's delicious retaliatory strike against Bonnie at the end.

    Along with "Crush", the title and episode are perfectly matched here.moreless

  • Not the very best

    This episode focuses around Kim and Ron's ski trip to Mount Middleton. Of course, there is always danger. THis time, it is a big snow beast rumored to roam the vast Mt. Middleton. Of course, no one believes it. Except Ron and Barkin. But is the snow beast all there is in Mt. Middleton? Or is there more? Ron and Barkin discovers something else: A woman. But this is not any ordinary woman, this is a rogue scientist. OF course, they are unaware of that at the current time. I I can blend my opinions here, I must say that the woman, or DNAmy as she is nicknamed, is not the very best character in the KP universe. _-_-_ Of course, there is trouble for Kim as well, in form of her parents being chaperons on the trip. They do what stereotype parent chaperones are supposed to do: EMbarass their child, in this case Kim. They tell stories about her that she doesn't want others to hear, and they try to act "cool and hip", much to the amusement of the other children. _-_-_ Kim gets involved in the plot as well, and she ends up destroying the bad guy(girl)'s lair, and everything seems well, except her parents, who are angry at Kim after understanding that they only humiliate her, and that she wished for them to never be at the trip. But, they had forgiven Kim, and she had apologized to them, and in the end they called Bonnie's mother as revenge for BOnnie making it so that Kim's parents were the chaperones. _-_-_ Well, there was one bad thing, which was DNAmy, and one fair thing, which was the ski trip and the stuff between Kim's parents, in this episode. SO, all in all, it wasn't quite the best episode. Nevertheless, it was OK. Nothing I'd watch again though.moreless

    Kim finds herself in "humiliation nation" when her parents chaperone a school ski trip to Mount Middleton. Meanwhile, Ron and Barkin hunt a rumored "snow beast". The snow beast or may I say snow beasts are inhuman and when I say inhuman I mean not human at all. The beasts are legendary monsters that actually are mutated experiments of a rogue geneticist. My favorite part of this episode is when we see the adventure to find the snow beast and when Kim tried to save Barkin and Ron which were captured by DNAmmy. This was a very good episode and I would recommend it to anyone but the people that don't like to see mutations but it doesn't mater because they are like huge little fluffy animals that obey a weird person like DNAmmy.moreless

    This is an example of how \"adult\" this series can be. First, they are making fun of beanie babies. Little kids, who collect these things, won\'t think its funny or get the irony. This episode was included on Kim Possible: The Secret Files. This was the debut of DNAmy, who went on to appear in \"Partners\", the extra episdoe on Kim Possible: The Secret Files. In my opinion, I know who the inspiriation for DNAmy was, I swear. Her name is Amy and she looks just like the character, and she\'s crazy. Thats why this episode is a personal favorite of mine.moreless

    • (Kim is snowboarding through the mountains when she stops and brings up the Kimmunicator) Kim: Wade, try searching the Cuddle Buddy website. They profile all major Cuddlers. Uh... collectors. Wade: How'd you know that? Kim: I've logged on a few times, okay? (pause) They're a good investment! (Wade brings up the profile of DNAmy) Wade: Good call, Kim. Kim: She's a bio-geneticist? Wade: That's not all. She was kicked out of her university for unorthodox splicing experiments. Her nickname was DNAmy. Kim: An out-of-control geneticist. I should've paid more attention to Ron's crazed snowbeast talk. We need to hurry. Wade, is there a satelite that can scan the mountain for geological anomalies? Wade: Match! Hoping we may find a hidden scientific lab? Kim: If it's not asking too much. Wade: You're on a roll. Artificial reinforcements in a cavern to the north. Kim: I'm there! (Kim snowboards onwards) Edit
    • Kim: Mom, I am so sorry. Mrs. Dr. Possible: Don't worry, honey. Your father and I were teenagers once. Sometimes we forget what it's like. (they hug, and Bonnie takes a picture of them) Bonnie: Isn't this a sweet moment? Mrs. Rockwaller: Bonnie! Bonnie: (panicked) Mom? Mrs. Rockwaller: Pumpkin! (Mrs. Rockwaller hugs Bonnie) Bonnie: Mother! What are you doing here? Mrs. Rockwaller: I heard you kids needed more chaperones, so I just rushed right up! Bonnie: (panicked) But... you can't! Mrs. Rockwaller: Now, Bon-Bon! Don't go flying off the handle! Ron: (amused) Bon-Bon? Mrs. Rockwaller: If everything isn't just so, little Bon-Bon go straight to pieces. (she giggles) Bonnie: But why? Who called you? Mrs. Dr. Possible: There's too many kids for just us to handle, and I thought that if Kimmie got to enjoy having her parents around, why not you too, Bonnie? Mrs. Rockwaller: This is going to be such fun! You have to introduce me to every single one of your little classmates. Kim: You rock, Mom. Mrs. Dr. Possible: You rock too, Kimmie. (they hug) Edit

    • Wuzzles: The Cuddle Buddies mentioned in this episode have similarties with the Wuzzles. Most notable, they are both animal hybrids. Edit
    • Kim: The snow beast of Mount Middleton makes tracks? Ron's snow beast story sounds a lot like the rumors concerning the yeti (also known as the abominable snowman). Edit
    • Beanie Babies: The Cuddle Buddies are obviously a parody of the Beanie Babies craze. Edit
