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

In a world where entertainment is riddled with violence, inappropriate images and language, Phineas and Ferb is a breath of fresh air. This is a cartoon that parents can feel good about their kids watching. It is always upbeat and positive and encourages creativity in young people. Granted there are certainly better ways to encourage creativity then watching tv, but this show is something special the entire family can sit down, watch together and enjoy. It has a great sense of humor, an interesting plot line and catchy songs you will find yourself humming long after the show is done. That being said, if you are watching the movie having never seen a Phineas and Ferb show in your life you are going to be a bit confused. There's a lot of in-jokes and characterizations that only the veterans will get, but still the movie is a very enjoyable experience. It has just the right mix of action, comedy, music, a touch of romance, and a secret agent Platypus. I don't know of any other movie that can say that! If you have never watched the show I do suggest you do so before purchasing the movie. There are clips all over the internet and it will give you a better grasp on whether or not this is something your family would enjoy before spending your hard-earned money. I do think that it is very reasonably priced though for everything that you get in the DVD. First you get the film, then you get a digital copy of the film, as well as a CD with the songs from the movie. You also get a "build your own platypult kit" (Don't worry, it will make sense when you watch the movie) The DVD itself also has some bonus features and a few secrets of its own! Overall I am very pleased with my purchase, and I think "Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension" is a fine addition to the "legacy" of Phineas and Ferb and I can't wait to see what Disney comes up with for the daring duo next!

"Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension" is a Disney "movie", starring Phineas and Ferb from Disney HD's animated cartoon series of the same name. The story ... Phineas, Ferb, Perry and Dr Doofenshmirtz get transported into a parallel dimension where a more evil/competent Dr Doofenshmirtz has enslaved (say it with me) "the entire Tri-State Area" and the boys must try and set things right ... is typical Phineas and Ferb (P&F) - smart, funny, and written on a level that entertains both adults and kids. The music is also typically outstanding.The package I bought contains two DVDs with the movie, eight deleted scenes (probably cut for time constraints), a bonus episode from the show, a digital copy of the movie, 8 music tracks from the movie, and best of all, a "Platypult"! :-)One mild word of warning if you have little ones (say 6 and younger) that like P&F; this episode is a little darker than what you see on typical episodes on TV. Two of my kids were scared a little, and one had to be coaxed to watch till the end to see that no one got hurt and that the "good guys" won. Tellingly, they haven't asked to see it again as they do for other episodes we own. This isn't to say that this movie is too over the top or unsuitable for kids, but you may want to watch it first if you have youngsters who might get scared and make your own call.But the wife and I absolutely loved it. I highly recommend this movie ... five stars.

I've probably seen it over 40 times now, and at least ten of those were by myself. Hahaha! So my son LOVES this movie. He's two and he interacts with the movie (especially when Phineas and Ferb are running from Other-Dimension Doof). This movie is a great composition of story-telling and simplicity. The music is great and you can't get good children's (and adult's) entertainment like this. Every other show that my son watches drives his dad nuts, but when it comes to Phineas and Ferb, he loves it just as much as his son and I do. And that says a lot. My husband frequently voices and quotes Doof to make us laugh, and even dressed as Doof when we went to a comic convention (our son was Phineas and I was Linda). With the DVD, I love all the supplementals you can play with. There's a jukebox that plays the music from the movie and the soundtrack (some tracks were omitted from the actual movie), and my son dances to all of them. And I love to sing them to him because they're fun and catchy. This movie never gets old, there's always something your eye will catch in the scenes that you didn't see before, and I almost always (ALWAYS) cry toward the end when Phineas and Ferb rescue Perry just in time). It's so epic!!! You are not a true Phineas and Ferb fan unless you own this product!!!

Anyone who loves Phineas and Ferb will love Across the 2nd Dimension. The humor is the same as in the episodes, it's paced extremely well, and it doesn't seem like there are too many songs (as in Summer Belongs to You).What's the advantage of buying the DVD over watching on Netflix, etc.? Here's what's included:* Across the 2nd Dimension in SD (not HD, unfortunately)* 7 minutes of deleted scenes (each of the same quality as the rest of the film, in my opinion)* Season 2 Episode: Attack of the 50 Foot Sister* Perry-oke and Jukebox-inator for the songs in the movie* Soundtrack (can be downloaded straight to your computer)* Copy of the movie (can be imported into iTunes or WMP, but can only be played in those players; rip the DVD for full control)* A delightful "Build Your Own Platypult" Kit (makes a high quality, cute little Platypult model with character discs)Overall, I'd say this is an even better deal than  A Very Perry Christmas , which came with bonus episodes, but no Platypult. I wish Disney would provide HD copies of their content with each DVD, but this disc is still a must for every Phineas and Ferb fan.

My (nearly) 7 year old daughter enjoys this immensely and has watched it several times in the short time that we have had it. She first saw Phineas & Ferb on the Disney Channel when on holiday two months ago so we purchased  Phineas & Ferb: Daze of Summer [DVD ] and  Phineas & Ferb: The Fast & The Phineas [DVD ]. Those two DVDs are very entertaining. If this movie were being compared to them it would only get four stars. Unfortunately my daughter also likes  Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2 [DVD ] and its ilk, compared to which "Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension" definitely deserves the five stars given.You'll need to have watched the other Phineas & Ferb DVDs first, otherwise you'll be missing some the vocabulary to enjoy the movie.Great fun, slightly darker than the usual Phineas & Ferb, and you'll get to see the Giant Floating Baby Head again.

The Product description includes a commentary. Disappointingly, however, this is NOT a commentary on the main feature, but only on the bonus episode "Attack Of The 50 Foot Sister", and anyway it mainly consists of the creators joking around.I really wish Disney's most successful animated series could be given some insightful and enlightening commentaries on DVD, but sadly it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Unless someone were to build a commentaryinator.

A dvd for adults and children of all ages. Great story and songs. Something you feel safe allowing your children to watch. Its funny but great for the imagination. Reasonably priced and good to add to the many Phineas and Ferb series.

Phineas and Ferb is a family favorite, and I especially liked the mix-up of alternate dimensions here. I can't really comment much for fear of giving away a spoiler, but the movie is awesome. If you like Phineas & Ferb, you'll love it.

Good quality
