SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Zach Weandesh Albeit not being a real fan of the TV-Show, I must admit that I watch it (like many other adults, I presume) occasionally for the sole reason of Heinz Doofenshmirtz, who is targeted to older audiences and always manages to get a chuckle out of me. Keeping in mind, that it is the film-feature based on a kids TV-show (with your mandatory song per episode), I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. The animation is slightly above that of the show, it is cleverly written and the tone more 'serious' than that of the show itself. Because of that it is enjoyable for children as well as their parents. I can recommend this movie for all fans of the show and assure any parent, that it is a much better rental/buy than many Direct-To-DVD Disney movies.Addendum: Watching the show prior to the movie is not required, but being familiar with some of the shows themes, might improve your experience of the movie. Due to the nature of the show it is not necessary to watch more than one or two episodes, since the plot is always roughly the same.
Quentin Anglade I followed the Animated Series much later than at the time of its release, and it's pretty damn good. I've seen both movies, and Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension is truly superior.By now, there are SPOILERS, so don't read anything unless you REALLY want to.It breaks the most of the traditional build-up from the regular episodes, and it's really action-packed. It caught me off guard, and that's what I've been searching for : an ouch factor. The new characters helped that factor, especially the 2nd Dimension's Candace (Candice in my country), who flat out outshines the Candace we all know from the Animated Series.As you might have guessed, the plot is far from boring, and I won't reveal THAT much out of it. But the reason why I don't want to put a 10/10 for this movie or at least a 9.5/10, was the ending. During the movie, Phineas, Ferb and Candace finally discover who's Perry : a secret agent. And at the end, every main character (except the parents) gets brainwashed, and all say goodbye to the Perry they got to know in the movie. It was touching, but it shows the following season will go back to basics again. The action scenes between Perry and the main characters were amazing, and it makes me sad it won't happen in the series. Also it makes inconsistencies as the entire city, if not the world saw gigantic robots piloted by the main characters saving the day, anyone else like Jeremy (who doesn't appear) could remind Phineas, Ferb & Candace what they did that day, hell, the attack was even filmed on TV.Maybe the TV Series would have lost the charm it has now if Phineas & Ferb were now secret agents or anything, but I can't help thinking they were AWARE of Perry's identity then had saved the world, just to get brainwashed next as if nothing happened, it makes me pull the hair out of my head.Apart from that, it was imaginative, and the movie shows that the Animated Series, after 3 Seasons, still got it.9/10
valerita-bella I qualify this movie a 10 because I think that is just what you deserve, do not think it's a excessive rating because I love it! In the series, Phineas and Ferb are creative and funny inventions and his sister Candace is accused with his mother, but always fails. Meanwhile, his pet, Perry fights vs the evil Dr. Doof. In the film, Perry recommends the worst comes true when in the second dimension, Phineas and Ferb know his secret, besides they are now trapped in the second dimension, which governs the evil by Doof. Now they have to find ways to prevent back and dominate your dimension Doof too. The movie seemed to me very creative and fun, in my opinion is the best "disney channel original movie" yet. Now it's my movie favorite. Just in case they had curiosity, My favorite character is Perry
ItsACaptainDan I absolutely love this movie. Phineas and Ferb always reminded me of the Saturday morning cartoons of childhood past. The regular episodes are somewhat silly and hilarious, but this movie is a true summer blockbuster. It's full of well-done action sequences mixed with doses of good humor. The songs are great, ranging from hard rock to disco, compared to some of the ones in regular episodes, which seem forced at times. Plus, the plot isn't too complicated but not your average children's made-for-TV movie plot line. The pacing is a bit fast though, and comedic timing is lost through hurried lines and lack of pauses. The animation, although much better than normal TV episodes, is a bit sloppy at times, is at times sloppy. If you're a long-time or even a short-time fan of this series, the movie will make you laugh at references to previous episodes. In short, I absolutely love this movie. If it was released in theaters, with crisper animation and better comedic timing, it might be one of the best things Disney has released this decade.
