Phineas and Ferb (film)

A Summer adventure awaits. Phineas and Ferb is an upcoming 2013 American animated musical film by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. The film continues the adventures of Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher with their goal to make Summer even better than ever! Meanwhile, the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz plans to take over the Tri-State Area, only to be stopped by Perry the Platypus.

This film has two narrators, which are Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, although they mostly appear only at the beginning and the ending.

Plot Summary
The film's plot has noticeable similarities to Across the 2nd Dimension's plot.

''Phineas and Ferb are back in their biggest adventure yet! What all started as a simple morning, becomes one big hectic and surprising day for the boys when they help Dr. Doofenshmirtz for one of his inators. When they were done with his inator, the invention accidentally sends them into somewhere very faraway and also unexpectedly throws Candace, Perry, and even Major Monogram into the mix. Now the gang must venture far and wide to get back home.''

''At first, the six of them couldn't really get along with each other, not believing that what happened has happened to them. But throughout the course of their journey, they start to warm up to each other and start to realize how well they have in common and how they are secretly connected to each other.''

''Throughout their adventure, they go through an unexpected chain of events as they make their way home, including climbing a gigantic clock tower, and getting lost in a system of mining caverns! Like the show itself, this adventure is a song-filled delight that is sure to breath the film to light. It's a musically charming and magical film that any fan can't miss!''

Scenes
If you want to see what the creator has in mind for some scenes, look here.
 * Scene 1: Doofenshmirtz is protecting Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Perry, and Monogram from a mysterious dark figure. The figure quickly comes at Doofenshmirtz and points his very sharp saber at his Adam's apple. He tells a very cryptic riddle to him. After that, he puts away his saber, backflips away from them into the dark and vanishes.
 * Scene 2: Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Perry, Doof, and Monogram are climbing a very large clock tower. Various accidents happen along the way including Perry falling into a never-ending pit, almost being dead. The gang eventually make it to the top, showing a panoramic view of a big city.
 * Scene 3: The gang traveling through several different environments, including a jungle, a spooky forest, an ancient temple, and a swampy marsh.
 * Scene 4: The gang are riding through a mine system in a small mine cart. The mine cart tips over, with Phineas going overboard. Luckily, Phineas grabs Doofenshmirtz's hand and gets in the cart. Phineas continues to hold on to Doofenshmirtz all throughout the mine ride, almost like hugging.
 * Scene 5: Doofenshmirtz and Monogram playing a Broadway-esque duet on the piano. Doofenshmirtz eventually goes all-out Broadway on the song.

Background Information

 * This film makes the Phineas and Ferb franchise part of the "Disney Animation Canon".
 * The film has been rated by the MPAA PG for "some scary action".

Production Information
The overall goal of this movie is to really make the Phineas and Ferb franchise feel like it is part of the "Disney universe", all while maintaining the essence that only Phineas and Ferb have. Animation and music-wise, the film contains elements that would be normally used in the "Disney Animation Canon", Pixar films, and even drawing inspiration from films made by Studio Ghibli.

Animation
The film actually brings in a lot of elements from the Walt Disney Animation short, Paperman. The film was animated using a new software called "Meander". The program makes characters and backgrounds to have a third-dimensional depth, even though they appear to look flat. This is achieved by digitally-render the characters and backgrounds and eventually be layered with hand drawn art.

In short, the characters and backgrounds are really computer-animated, but with hand drawn art layered over to make it appear that they are really traditionally-animated.

 * Boy Meets World - William Daniels cameos as Phineas and Ferb's teacher, similar to his role in Boy Meets World as a teacher and later principal.

 * Monsters University - When Major Monogram and eventually Dr. Doofenshmirtz share their experiences about the Academy, their situations together was similar to Sully and Mike's experiences at Monsters University.
 * Portal 2 - Actor J. K. Simmons plays the role of a big lemon corporation as a nod to former CEO of Aperture Labs, Cave Johnson, whom he also voiced as.
 * Raiders of the Lost Ark - A chase scene found in the film parodies the famous boulder scene, but in a more different way.
 * The Thief and the Cobbler - Some of the background artwork found in some scenes resembles various optical illusions.
 * Wicked - Both actresses, Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel, make cameos in the movie with their roles as homages to the musical. Kristen Chenoweth plays as a make-up artist in order to make people more "popular", and Idina Menzel plays as a parody of the Wicked Witch of the West shown from a television in the make-up artist's beauty salon.
