Just the other day I wore a Phineas and Ferb shirt to a church function we had going on and you just wouldn’t believe how many people said, “Oh, I love your shirt!”. Both adults and kids were saying how much they love Phineas and Ferb and how they all watch it together. That right there is why we love the Disney Channel show. It’s something the whole family can sit down, watch together and all enjoy.
Phineas and Ferb has been embraced by kids everywhere and is one huge success. It’s such a success that they have they’re own Disney Channel Original Movie coming out – “Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension”. It’s coming to Disney Channel August 5th (8:00 pm ET/PT) and Disney XD August 13th (10:00 am ET/PT). We’ve written about the movie quite a bit (even when it comes to DVD!), which you can read about here and here.
Here’s a short description:
Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across The 2nd Dimension features Disney Channel’s dynamic animated duo, Phineas Flynn and his stepbrother Ferb Fletcher, as they go on their biggest adventure yet. When the boys discoverthat their pet platypus Perry is in fact a secret agent who battles the forces of evil daily, they join him on a grand adventure that blasts them to another dimension where a truly evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz has taken over an alternate Tri-state Area. This larger than life, action-packed adventure will have the entire family laughing out loud!
Not only do kids have the Phineas and Ferb DCOM to look forward to, but also “Perry the Paty-bus on Tour”. Yep, you read that right. Perry is on tour. The tour started on July 11th in New York City and it features a 27′ long, customized, rounded aluminum Airstream trailer outfitted stem-to-stem as Perry the Platypus. Phew! That’s a mouthful. He’s on a coast to coast journey from New York to San Diego where he’ll join Comic Con and the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim August 19th – 21st.
During “Perry the Platy-bus On Tour,” fans are invited to marvel at nearly 4000 pounds of Perry (complete with a bill, tail and googly eyes), come aboard, play the exciting new Unity 3D video game, “The Movie Game: The Dimension of Doooom!” and video console games, sing Perry-oke and more. There is no admission charge.
Not only is there a new movie and a larger-than-life Perry going on tour, but Disney is kicking it up a notch with new Phineas and Ferb merchandise all summer long:
- “The Movie Game: The Dimension of Doooom!,” and a “2D Yourself” activity that allows users to create a custom avatar to explore the 2nd Dimension, among other digital experiences, will begin rolling out on the new “Phineas and Ferb” supersite Friday, June 17 on DisneyChannel.com and DisneyXD.com.

You know the Phineas and Ferb shirt I mentioned at the beginning? Well, I actually stole it (okay, borrowed it) from my son who received the coolest Phineas and Ferb package in the mail courtesy of Disney Channel. Check him out with his loot.
We hope you will watch the Phineas and Ferb movie together as a family and make a fun night of it. I know we plan on it!
