It was dubbed by New York Times as the "next Spongebob", has a soundtrack that's up there with the classics of The Simpsons, has a feature-length movie coming in August (Across The Second Dimension), it's jokes often go over the kids heads, it's the best Disney ANYTHING airing on the channel, as well as it's most repeated cartoon (at least over here in the UK anyway), its the pure glory that is Phineas and Ferb. It's what happens when you take Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Hey Arnold! and crossed it over with Family Guy's sense of humour, focusing on the adventures of Phineas and Ferb Flynn, out to try and make every day of Summer the best day ever by indulging in delightfully over-the-top experiances and inventions, much to the chagrin of their sister Candace, who's obsessed with busting them. Plus it has a show- within-the show as the boys seemingly useless pet platapus Perry doubles as a secret agent thawarting the ridiculous schemes of Dr. Doofensmirtz

Phineas and Ferb is f*cking fantastic. The music is actually the thing that got me to like it so much. I don't really see the connection to SpongeBob, unless they're just talking popularity, which I have no clue about.

Bowling for Soup does the theme song. They even made an appearance on an episode.

When I saw them perform @ a bowling tournament last January, they closed the telecast performing the Phineas & Ferb theme. It was the Tournament of Champions that ABC Sports aired January 29.

I've caught it a coupla times when babysitting my niece, and thought it was pretty good, but must admit I sometimes don't pay all that much attention to the telly, what with us drawing, and playing with her toys (in which, Batman was recently introduced, to go quickly to the top of her favourite toys...) I'll start paying a bit more attention now!

It's probably the only decent show the Disney Channel has right now. I don't watch much TV but when I do I'll always watch this if it happens to be on.

I've always appreciated this show for it actually showing kids to be imaginative and encouraging creative play instead of being about mischievous kids, which makes me feel like an old person. But I think it really shines because it's actually a really good show to. It's great to have something I can watch with my 7-year-old sister and still really enjoy myself. Plus the music and humor are awesome

Anyone see the movie? I thought it had a lot of cute moments and great songs...also glad/irritated they teased us with Phineas and Isabella's first kiss...only for neither of them to remember it thanks to the amensianator.

08-06-2011, 02:11 PM

Yeah, it was such a great movie. I really enjoyed it and it made me laugh my ass off from time to time. The Love Handel part was epic. It paid great tribute to the series. Phineas and Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension is full of win.

Apparently a recent contract deal with Disney has guaranteed amongst other things, a fourth season, a spin-off pilot (rumoured to be about Isabella), and a theatrical movie.

The movie is reportedly being written by the guy behind Little Miss Sunshine, Toy Story 3, and the rumoured Sesame Street movie. Interesting. Wikipedia has some info on it being a blend of live action and 2-d animation (hmm...not so keen on that), since it's Wikipedia saying that, I'll take it with a grain of salt until verified through other sources.

There's also a live stage tour on the way.

I love this show. It is so smartly written it feels like what a "grown up" animated comedy should be; not all crass and vulgar jokes, but genuinely smart and clever jokes that might go over the heads of younger viewers (while still being accessible to them on different levels).

Just a class all its own.

I pass the Patriot Center every week on my way to my comic shop and the elecronic billboard showed an advert for the stage show. Not... gonna go see it, but I was surprised to see it.

I'm curious about the live show because the plot is supposed to be about the boys last day of Summer. I personally hope they drop the "summer" theme of the show after a while, there's already been two specials centering on fall months like Christmas and Halloween.

I love(d) PandF but honestly lately, like after the movie, it really went down imo.

Its hard to explain but it turned into the same type of humor alot of other shows do...the outrageously random and absurd = funny.

I thought the movie was fantastic but the show has lost alot of its cleverness to me.

Now its the same cliches of this era that just isn't funny anymore. Maybe to kids.

Donatello19

06-06-2013, 06:09 PM

I used to like Phineas and Ferb, but now it's just way too repetitive and boring IMO. I also find the parts with Perry and Doof to be pretty stupid, predictable and really just not that funny. I think they're running out of ideas by now.

ZariusTwo

06-07-2013, 04:42 AM

I really have to agree. I've heard there's a theatrical movie in the works and I think they're saving all their big creative juices for that one. The 2nd Dimension movie really proved the show had a ridgid status quoe with the reset button being hit. I think some of us were ready for some arc development around then.

These days, I've only tuned in for the Meep episodes.

So um...basically the cast of Avengers Assemble and Ult Spider-Man meet some oddly shaped Disney characters and fight that villain squad that was started in Avengers Assemble. I think I'll root for the villains as I feel sorry for them.

Forgot to mention that on the IMDB board I read Phineas and Ferb was meant to come out in the 90s. It was pitched around, even to Nick I think, but never got picked up. I don't have a link. Someone posted this quite awhile ago.

I bring it up because it really does seem like a 90s cartoon and alot of people think its one of the best of this era.

Besides literally every show, movie, actor, etc has their own dedicated board. Which is quite nice. Obviously not every statement is true but that could be said about the internet as a whole. I think the good out weighs the bad on IMDB.

Ok so this summer (has the ep aired yet?) Phineas and Ferb meet the Avengers. Next summer? Star Wars crossover! *lol* I guess Disney is making Phineas and Ferb the link between the genres they purchase. And the plot of the crossover seems to be set during episode 4.

Phineas and Ferb's carefree existence on 'Star Wars' planet Tatooine will be disturbed when plans to destroy the Death Star unwittingly fall into their hands.

07-22-2013, 03:03 AM

I've loved this show forever, yah after the film does feel like its lost its touch a bit, now I mostly watch for the Phinabella hints as I'm a real big fan of that pairing and am counting down to the days till they get together, which is most likely in the final film, that's always the case with the most popular pairings.

Though, I admit I am looking forward to the film and the Star Wars crossover special, I think the film will be like Rodger Rabbit a bit. Hey, I have a feeling they are going to make a spin off where they can crossover all kinds of shows with Phineas and Ferb, or save the world type since they've been doing that a lot as of late.

I LOVE P&F! It harks back to Disney's golden days, with Disney Afternoon, I think. Ok, not *quite* the same thing, but it has the action and adventure. It has the wit and adult humour to balance it out. It has fairly decent animation too.
It is pretty consistent, has great music, and actually is mildly educational lol.

I can't wait for the Marvel and Star Wars crossovers either!!! So cool!!

Here's me meeting P&F, and Agent P at Disney :D

I've been trying to get some info on plans for the show past the Star Wars special, and I found, in an article on Toon Zone posted back in February that initially reported it had been 'quietly cancelled', that the show has simply gone on a production hiatus. The theatrical movie has also been shelved

Donatello19

04-15-2014, 11:26 AM

No offense to anyone who likes it...but it's about time. It was getting really stale and boring, the same formula over and over and over again. Not to mention that the characters aren't even interesting.

Peanut

04-15-2014, 12:01 PM

Yeah, I agree. I feel like a bought into the quality of it too fast. It went downhill real f*cking quick.

Wildcat

04-15-2014, 05:35 PM

It was great for quite sometime but in the past couple years it just wasn't very clever or creative anymore.

Its too bad cause it probably could have been but they chose to go the "lets be really silly" route like alot of other cartoons.

I had no idea there was gonna be a theatrical movie.

ZariusTwo

04-16-2014, 06:58 AM

They are doing a "heavy" episode later this year called "Act Your Age", which is said to be very emotional.

Best I can tell for the great quality back then is that the Adventure Time writers worked on the early seasons and they left when CN picked up that show.

that's good news

ZariusTwo

08-21-2014, 08:06 AM

Been a while, the Star Wars special has aired (I think) and the flash-forward episode "Act Your Age" aired outside of America about a week ago and clips from it are all over Youtube. It's quite good, and if the show is ending soon (hiatus is the word going about) it feels like a proper series finale

The show's creators introduce the episode before it starts and make it clear as crystal that no, Perry will never have a girlfriend (is it wrong of me to 'ship him and Stacy given recent events? Yes, yes it is)

Other key points

Buford becoming classicly trained and wanting to direct movies of problem teens in post-apocalyptic wastelands.

"Her eyes formed hearts whenever she looked at you...how is that even humanly possible?"

A redeemed Doof has a mid-life crisis and proceeds to tire Perry out with a bucket list-esque variety of activities.

Carl is a commander

Candace only has a fleeting cameo, but I think she's now a teacher

Phineas and Isabella have their first date all while this is going on, Phineas has a vast list of college options and Isabella is moving to one far away, at the end he discovers her college is one of the options sent to him and they decide to get together, Phineas intercepts Isabella just as she leaves town and they kiss.

The part I popped for though? Ferb and Vanessa are canon!

That series finale (?) sounds like a bad fan fiction.

Leofan26

08-21-2014, 03:32 PM

This show is ok, but I get annoyed easily at it. Candace is so annoying.

I agree with you on that, at first it was fine in seasons one and two than after that it just got on my nerves.

At first I got why she'd always tell mom, cuz she's being protective of them right? However, she went over the top in seasons three and four :roll:

Do we even have a final for this series?

I hate that we had to wait for college for Phineas and Isabella to get together. High school would have been better, why wait that long? Poor girl had her heart broken one too many times till than and Phineas feelings growing for her over the years and being lost and confused about it. Vanessa and Ferb didn't make much sense either, the age difference hello? I know Ferb had feelings for her in his younger years and Vanessa thought he was cool but the age difference is just too much and I think it would have been better if they'd allow him to get over her and mature, maybe have him get together with one of Isabella's friends? Just didn't work in my opinion.

Any ways, not that many episodes left, too bad that movie got canceled but than again, the way it sounded had me worried LOL, I mean Phineas live action? The musical is creepy enough looking :lol:

I'd rather have another Animated flick, than again maybe they should have ended the show at Across the Dimension, I thought that had a perfect mix of every thing for the series :D

One of the show's writers comments on Deviantart about "Act Your Age", and references several things that were cut out of the episode, including Doof getting a tatoo, a reference to "jet-sking" being cut because of legal ramifications with a real company, and a line which implied Ferb and Vanessa were heading off to a hotel to have sex

Alright.
The show is alright, but I get really annoyed by it. My favorite parts are the Agent P subplots, and that is all I enjoyed. The songs are mediocre at best, and I wouldn't listen to them ever again. The 2nd Dimension movie was not good, but meh. I liked Mission Marvel, but I like Marvel. So yeah, I would watch some select episodes, but not religiously at all. 3/10 at best for me.

August 28th is the release date for the second movie, Candace Against The Universe, on Disney+

https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/phineas-and-ferb-the-movie-candace-against-universe-premiere-date-disney-plus-1234696640/

I didn't like the first movie all that much. For me, it deviated a little too far from what made the series so enjoyable. I found double episodes like "Summer Belongs To You" and "Mission Marvel" to be much more entertaining.
