Moooom! Phineas and Ferb Are Going to Have Another Movie!


Talk about being behind. With that, I mean that not only that I haven't uploaded most, if not, all of my other movie reviews from the past year on here but also with writing my opinions on some of the announcements about what we can expect to see on TV and on the big screen. First up: Phineas and Ferb.


What can I say about this series? It's great at time even if the stories are formulaic. Yeah we have a new film in the works being prepared for the summer on TV, but Disney decided to be too greedy. Apparently, they want more money from the franchise (I didn't know the series became a franchise). What's the plan? How about a live-action/animated hybrid on the big screen? Sure the show's popular but think about the other TV series that were created because of the popularity. DuckTales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp, The Powerpuff Girls Movie, Recess: School's Out, Hey Arnold! The Movie, and Teacher's Pet: The Movie all are examples of films based on TV shows that either bombed in the box office and should have been released on VHS and DVD or shouldn't have been made. None of them are bad movies. It's just that they all have audiences but they were risky moves from their respective studios. Some played to be series finales only to be retconned by being prequels or having another season attached that make the fans think that they've ran their courses and are being beaten to a pulp to get that extra dollar. Other animated shows were given live-action projects such as Alvin and the Chipmunks and most recently Yogi Bear and the upcoming The Smurfs that have, and will continue to receive a lot of spite from critics and the fans alike. Where will this project stand? Will it be loved? Hated? Ignored? Disney reeally need to think about this. Otherwise, going across the 3rd dimension will be a HUGE mistake.

I can't really say much other than show you these images of the toys of Phineas and Ferb to give you a reason why the title characters will be weird to see in the live-action world, IF they're going to be played by real actors. The one reasons I can think of is the shapes of their heads.
