It takes years for production companies to change their equipment over for big changes. Keep in mind the change from 4:3 to 16:9 also included a huge jump in resolution and the move to digital media.
Many shows would stay 4:3 till their end.
There where a whole lot of black bars and stretched content for much of the 2000s
maybe (idk, it could be the stupidest thing I ever said) it's a stylistic choice
Kim Possible is 16:9? I can swear the version I had was 4:3
The one on Disney plus is 16:9
Wasnt Disney plus notorious for cropping video so that everything would be 16:9? Afaik they even destroyed a joke in the Simpsons through that
Edit: The article is just about the cropping. I couldnt find a source for the Simpsons-situation apart from Reddit.
I think Kim possible specifically was adjusted to 16:9 for reruns on Disney XD.
I forgot that Disney had a program called XD and was seriously confused at first why youd find this fact so funny

Just depends where you saw it. It was not created in 4:3. You saw a cropped version.
Maybe Nickelodeon and Disney just chose differently about that point?
