Phineas and Ferb

Phineas and Ferb: The movie - Across the 2nd Dimension

by Mark Kennedy on Saturday, July 30, 2011
Went and saw the Phineas and Ferb movie today. This is a special preview of the Disney Channel TV release next Friday, check your local times. This show has been a staple on the Disney Channel since November 2007. It shows the summer antics of Phineas and his step brother Ferb. Their big question of each episode is, "sooooo what are we going to try to do today?" They complete major undertakings suck as building rollercoasters and robots on a daily basis. Their older sister, Candance, always catches them and trys to inform their Mom, but happenchance always kicks in and Mom is never the wiser.
There is a pet platypus named Perry who is actually a member of a secret agent team that consists of all species of animals and run by a Major Momogram, and his assistance Carl. Perry sneaks away to do battle every episode with his arch nemesis, Dr. Doofenschirtz. thus the line always uttered, " Where's Perry?"
Ok so thats the major players.
This movie takes a standardsummer day and expands off it. I found it entertaining for the first hour but then got a bit draggy. Remember this is bases on a 26 minute episodic cartoon. Not to spoil the boys get involved with Doofenschmirtz and wind up in an alternate universe. They meet their alterselves and their friends and family alterselves and see what they could have to could not have been. The alternate dimension bad guy, Doofenscmitrz 2, wants to take over the normal,(our), dimension and the fun ensues. How will the boys ever fix this mess and not get caught by Mom?
If your kids watch the show they will ove the movie. all the regular voices are there and some back story to the day the boys got Perry at the pet shop is shown.
Great songs and lyrics, things the show is known for are throughout the movie.
Secret....I like the tv show, but found the movie about 20 minutes longer than I liked. Bad news because this is released to TV next Friday and with commercials will be 2 hours. Kids will eat it up though.
