DVD Reviews of Phineas and Ferb: The Fast and the Phineas
DVD Review: Great Show, So-So DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
BE FOREWARNED: only in the very, very small print on the DVD box, and nowhere in the item descriptions, do you learn that this DVD only has five episodes on it. Definitely overpriced for the number of episodes. Otherwise, I'd have given this item five stars, because the show is fantastic. The writing is amazing, the plots are clever, and even the recurrent gags never seem to get old. Five stars for the show, but not for the DVD. DVD Review: Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD contains 112 minutes (7 episodes) of the cartoon. including my favorite episode "Lights, Candace, Action". Plus special features-original some storyboards and games.
If you could distill out the clever irreverent wit and the "something for all ages" mix of gags and references from "Family Guy", "The Simpsons", "SpongeBob", and South Park"; and then jettison all the off-color, negative, and crude low-hanging fruit elements of those cartoons you would get something like The Disney Channel's "Phineas and Ferb" which premiered in August 2007.
The title characters, non-stop talker Phineas (Vincent Martella) and his usually silent brother Ferb (Thomas Sangster) are suburban stepbrothers trying to make the most of their summer vacation. This means constructing elaborate gadgets like a time machine and a roller- coaster, or making a feature film. They are usually assisted by an industrious troop of girl scouts (Fireside Girls) led by their neighbor Isabella (Alyson Stoner) who has a major crush on Phineas. The brothers are just trying to have a fun summer, they aren't trying to cause trouble or be cool, and they are at that age where boys are not even conscious of girls or of who is popular.
Typically their teenage sister Candace (Ashley Tisdale) gets reluctantly drawn into their projects as she strives to keep them from embarrassing her in front of her crush Jeremy (Mitchell Musso). Each storyline has her trying to "bust them" by phoning their mother about the latest home project, but by the time Mom gets home all evidence has conveniently vanished. Although there is a sibling rivalry the three obviously care about each other. Candace is the best part of the series and Tisdale does unexpectedly well supplying her voice; the part is very challenging, as the mercurial Candace requires a wide range of intonations and energy levels in her voice.
Although the series could get by just cutting between Candace and her brothers, it ups the energy level each episode with a "Kim Possible" type parallel story involving the family's pet platypus Perry (he's a semi-aquatic, egg-laying, mammal of action). Perry is a secret agent assigned to foil the plots of evil (but hopelessly inept) scientist Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz (co- creator Dan Povenmire).
The animation style is the same simplistic stuff (Phineas' head is a triangle) found in the other four cartoon series although like "SpongeBob" the occasional "real-life" photo is thrown into the mix. For the benefit of boy viewers, a more serious drawing style is devoted to one of the minor characters, Dr. Doofenshmirtz's beautiful daughter Veronica (Olivia Olson).
"Phineas and Ferb" might be the all-time best "compromise" cartoon; incorporating many subtle elements for adult viewers while relying on its absurdist humor and identification elements to hook both pre-teens and teens.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
DVD Review: I Can't Get Enough of Them
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the show alot. The bonus episode on the DVD is very cool. There is only one part that scared me on the bonus episode called "One Good Scare Ought To Do It". After the haunted house is being carried away by Doofenshmirtz's escape jet (after blowing up his mentor's base) Phineas is still inside and falls out and I thought he was going to die (until Isabella and the Fireside Girls use thier sashes as a net to catch him). Other than that a great DVD and great episodes. Overall rating 10-10DVD Review: Awesome Dvd release!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just rented this dvd and it is way better than I expected! I only expected 5, 10 minute episodes and was surprised to find more episodes than that. The included episodes are:
1.The Fast and the Phineas
2.Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror
3.Are you my Mummy
4.Flop Starz
5.Raging Bully
6.Lights,Candace,Action
And a never before seen 2 part episode called One Good Scare Ought To Do It! Which is a really cool episode where Isabella has the hicupps and Phineas and Ferb build a hunted house to scare them out of her!!!The Dr.D and Perry the Platypus part of that episode is really funny and creative!The bonus features are really cool too, there is an Arcade with Phineas and Ferb themed games! There is also the original storyboard of "Rollercoaster". I highly suggest this DVD to any Phineas and Ferb fan!!!!!!!!!
DVD Review: Don't let the rating fool you. I love this show, but...
Summary: 1 Stars
I absolutely love this show and so do my two five year olds and eight year old. The problem is that this is only five of the shows and some extras and there are a LOT more that have been shown-probably around 23...I know because they are all on my DVR. The one star is for this not being a Season 1 Box set. I don't want Disney to suck me in to this small selection and not put out (or worse put out once I buy this) a full season box set. Come on Disney. Don't rip off your fans of this show...put out the whole box set. This show rocks! And that's from a 47 year old!
Description of Phineas and Ferb: The Fast and the Phineas
School is out for summer and step brothers Phineas and Ferb decide to make each day an adventure from building a death defying rollercoaster or surfing tidal waves to locating Frankenstein's Brain. Their bold escapades always end up cramping the style of their teenaged sister Candace who makes every attempt to expose mom to what is really going on but somehow always seems to fail. Meanwhile the family's simple minded pet platypus leads a double life as secret "Agent P and faces off with the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz to save the world. There's a whole lot of stuff to do before school starts and Phineas and Ferb plan to do it all.System Requirements:Running Time: 112 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating:?G UPC:?786936750744 Manufacturer No:?05602300One of the hottest new Disney Channel series in 2008, Phineas and Ferb is a fun animated program about how two inventive stepbrothers choose to spend their summer days and their relationships with their teenage sister Candace and their pet platypus Perry. Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (Thomas Sangster) have vowed to make everyday of summer vacation count and their creative ideas and ingenuity know absolutely no bounds--each day begins with the brothers sitting under a shady tree asking what the other wants to do that day and the afternoons typically culminate in the boys having turned the backyard into anything from an elaborate haunted house to a tropical beach or professional racetrack. Teenage sister Candace (Ashley Tisdale) is intent on getting the boys in trouble with their parents (Caroline Rhea and Richard O'Brien), but no matter how fast she raises the alarm, it seems the boys always manage to have everything cleaned up and back to normal by the time their parents arrive home. Strangely, the boys' pet platypus Perry always seems to disappear just as the boys begin a project, but viewers know that Perry leads a secret life as Agent P who is regularly dispatched to foil the plans of evil-doer Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Somehow, Phineas and Ferb's parents remain oblivious to everything but the boys' shared creativity while the frustrated Candace bemoans her own bad luck in siblings and parents. A show described by kids ages 5 to 12 as "awesome," Phineas and Ferb is the perfect blend of fantasy, creativity, adventure, and family comedy. Bonus features include the original series storyboard pitch by Dan Povenmire and five arcade style games ranging from car racing to "smack a gnome" and disguising Agent P. --Tami Horiuchi
