Phineas & Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension
PERRY’S WORST FEAR COMES TRUE WHEN PHINEAS AND FERB FINDS OUT THAT HE IS IN FACT SECRET AGENT P, BUT THAT SOON PALES IN COMPARISON DURING A TRIP TO THE 2ND DIMENSION WHERE PERRY FINDS OUT THAT DR. DOOFENSHMIRTZ IS TRULY EVIL AND SUCCESSFUL.Disney TV scored a huge hit in 2007, with Phineas and Ferb, the tale of two mismatched stepbrothers who share a passion for fantastic adventures and a talent for making high tech devices. Phineas Flynn is the American blabbermouth; Ferb Fletcher is British and taciturn. The television movie Across the 2nd Dimension takes their antics further afield–and spoofs the mania for 3-D. When their giant shuttlecock collides with a spy plane piloted by their pet Perry the Platypus, Phineas and Ferb crash land in the laboratory of Dr. Doofenshmirtz. With predictable enthusiasm (and blithe unawareness), the boys help the evil scientist erect an “Otherdimensionator” that transports them to an every second world. As the complications multiply, Perry is forced to reveal that he’s not just a pet who grinds his teeth: he’s Agent P, part of a cadre dedicated to fighting Doofenshmirtz’s schemes. Eventually things get sorted out with the help of the every second versions of Phineas, Ferb, and their sister Candace. Across the 2nd Dimension is most engaging when it plays like an extended episode of the series, with plenty of humor, off-beat songs, and pop-culture references: Doofenshmirtz and his every second counterpart perform a number about finally finding a partner as the Blues Brothers, the Lone Ranger and Tonto, and Lucy and Ethel in the candy factory. As is often the case with TV cartoons that morph into features (Hey Arnold, Doug), things occasionally get too huge–the swarms of CG robots the every second Doofenshmirtz dispatches really don’t add anything to the tale. But the filmmakers generally succeed in walking a fine line, remaining smart without becoming smart alecks. Across the 2nd Dimension will delight Phineas and Ferb fans of all ages.
