Phineas und Ferb: Quer durch die 2. Dimension

I first saw this movie when it first premiered in Disney Channel Asia. I was a 10 year old kid who was so excited to see it. Back then, I was a huge Phineas and Ferb fan, I was annoyed (but unaware why) when they aired too many replays of past episodes, I had a huge crush on Isabella and I was excited that Doofenshmirtz will finally meet Phineas and Ferb. To the 10 year old me, this movie exceeded my expectations. This movie was perfect. From the beginning, set up, songs, plot, Isabella kissing Phineas and, of course, the best third act for a Phineas and Ferb fan.

Now, I can safely say that, except for the crush on Isabella part, I still feel the same toward the series and "Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension". Sure, it's no longer as exciting as I remember due to the fact that I am now a young adult but still, this movie delivers. P&F fans are rewarded especially towards the end while newcomers will surely want to watch the entire series. Thankgoodness we got a sequel episode in the series' season 4 and a second movie 9 years later.

I loved this movie. I am a huge fan of the TV show and this movie takes everything that the show does well and runs with it. Phineas, Ferb, Candice, and all the rest are wonderfully characterized. The musical numbers are fun and there are just the right number of them.

I liked the story as well and I thought it made good material for a movie-length episode.

I highly recommend this one.

Step-brothers Phineas and Ferb have had a lot of great adventures over the course of their summer (ex. Traveling through time (twice) Building a Roller Coaster and going around the world in a single day) but this one seems to take the cake. There's a good helping of action, and enough jokes to keep viewers young and old laughing. I was very impressed by this Disney Channel production, because, not only was it so much better than any of the other original movies but it was even better than a lot of the actual episodes of it's own TV series. Which is saying a lot because the TV series is groundbreaking entertainment with phenomenal writing and animation. I never thought I'd say this but: Bravo Disney Channel!

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.

Going into it, I figured this movie would be pretty decent, seeing as it's Phineas and Ferb. But alas, I was wrong. It was GREAT. 'Across the 2nd Dimension' stayed extremely true to the show. It has the same fun, wild, free spirit and takes you for one heck of a ride. You get to experience an entirely new dimension of the Phineas and Ferb world, one where Doofenshmirtz isn't so doofy. At first it seems cool, but the gang later realizes how grateful they are for their own dimension-and their platypus.

Spoil anything I will not, so give this one a watch. Trust me, you won't regret it. It will have been well worth your time.

A must see for die-hard fans and casual fans alike. A solid 10/10.
