Phineas & Ferb: The Movie - Across The 2nd Dimension

Reviewed: 03/30/2014

The Day The Second Dimension Died By CGI Toon Boon!

So we finally come to an end with our Phineas & Ferb rant with the Disney Channel movie; #130 in broadcast order (no production order number this time). This is the day Phineas & Ferb met Perry as Agent P without any of the Spongebob Tricks. So the summary of this episode reads like this: When Phineas, Ferb, and Perry follow Dr. Doofenshmirtz through his "Otherdimensionator", they find themselves in an alternate universe where a second, truly evil Dr. Doof rules over his Tri-State Area with an army of Normbots. To save his friends from certain doom, Perry makes the ultimate sacrifice by revealing his secret identity as Agent P. Phineas and Ferb escape, meet their 2nd dimension selves, and begin their own mission to rescue Perry. As they uncover his plot to travel back to their dimension to take over their Tri-State Area, the gang, as well as their alter-egos, must band together to stop him. This movie aired on August 5th, 2011 and garnered 7.6 million viewers on Disney Channel and on ABC garnered 10.7 million viewers (K2-11); making it on par with 1980's/1990's syndication DTVA; which is a huge feat in itself considering the increase in competition over the years before this. So will this ranting end with a bang; or with a whimper? Okay; so let's take a deep breath and let's rant on shall we...?!

This movie is written and storyboarded by John Colton Berry, Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. The direction is done by Dan Povenmire and Robert F. Hughes. Animation is done by Synergy Animation, Suzhou Hong Ying Cartoon Company Limited and Wang Animation Studios.

We begin this one with fade to black jump cuts of inside a volcano and robots walking Phineas, Ferb, Candace and some others with shackles around their bellies and chain around their wrists. Phineas looks around as we see that the room is creepy with lawn gnomes and a lot of purple haze. I discover that Doctor Doofensmirtz is one of the people chained; earning a "what?" from everyone. So there is a cover over a cage and it's lifted to reveal a giant monster that is the size of a two door garage. Doofensmirtz steals Shego's "welcome to my life" line somewhere in this. Phineas just finds a way to be happy in spite of not finding a positive spin in this. So Phineas proclaims that to be honest, everything happened so smoothly in the morning and then we fade to black with white letters reading "Earlier in the day"....

Opening Moment #1: Which is a segueway for the opening credits. So we go back to morning with someone bicycling on the street in front of the Flynn-Fletcher house and then inside Phineas and Ferb's bedroom with a shot of the Maoi statue; and then we get the logo for Phineas & Ferb The Movie: Escape from the 2nd Dimension; which is basically a similar logo to the Mission Marvel one; only with a blue/white/black color scheme on the top; with grey trim on the "Across The 2nd Dimension" letters; metalic like actually; and then a blue subtitle reads "In Fabulous 2D" which strangely was absent in the broadcast version; but seems to be reinstated here; like in Bravely Default, where the subtitle was removed from the boxes; but appears in the screen title anyway. I wonder what junk science Disney was reading that made them try to justify this decision, because I don't see the point. At least with Bravely Default; (spoiler alert), showing the subtitle would have made it easier for people to figure out that Airy Lies (or lying Airy). Cut to Ferb sleeping with a book about Homer Not Simpson; and then a shot of Phineas sleeping as the alarm clock is reading 6:59 am. It goes to 7 am; and it couldn't just ring. No; the top of the alarm clock opens up and reveal an arm with a black hand on it. It springs over and pokes Perry in the head while he is sleeping; and Perry wakes up and chitters. Which in turn wakes up Phineas and Ferb as Phineas hugs Perry and proclaims that this is the best day (OF DESTRUCTION~) ever; and we jump on the bed while the TEDDY RUXPIN SONG OF DOOM beckons. I should note that this movie was originally supposed to be an 11 minute episode; but that was changed in midproduction. So we get spots of the boys getting dressed as I discover that all of Phineas's shirts are customed painted; and Ferb uses a trampoline with an air hose to get his purple pants up. This is basically a song about Perry which is weird because Perry does most of the work here. So we dance against a purple background as the clothes are now informal Broadway gear; then we brush our teeth in stereo; which includes Perry of course. Yeah; this is so not silly at all.

So we brush the hair as Perry is motionless as a statue for 85% of this song. Meditation ensues as Phineas' shoes have blue soles and I don't care. I'm just more amused that Perry is a cheddar in a cheese sandwich. Apparently; everything with a monotreme is better which is kind of true I guess. More singing, dancing and Perry being still; only his beaver tail rises up when he is tickled. We also get a spot where the boys chitter with Perry with golden sparkles in the background. That was cute. They eat popcorn; and Perry won't open his mouth. Then they play mini golf with Perry in their room; and when I mean play golf; I mean "use Perry's tail as a golf club" sort of play. The song ends with Phineas & Ferb in the hallway on the top of the stairs; and they do the Kit Cloudkicker sliding down the rail spot; and they all fly off and take bumps on their bellies as Ferb the slient Bob of the duo is on bottom while Perry is on top chittering. As I say that; I notice that Lawerence is sitting in his rocking chair reading the newspaper. Lawerence greets him as Linda comes in and greets Perry carrying a basket of dirty laundry; as I discover that there is an anniversary and it's the fifth year that Perry has been with Phineas & Ferb as their pet. Phineas daydreams about the first day they got him; and then we HIT THE FLASHBACK~! Okay; there is a building called the Animal Rescue Center which is having animal adoptions today as seen on the sign propped against the wall below the window. The best part of this is; that on the sign and on the sign above the giant window; the letters OWCA are on top. So we head inside the OWCA Animal Rescue Center as the entire family is in there looking around; as Phineas and Ferb look about two years younger; and Candace looks five years younger; but still ahead of the curve in being a jerk. I know this because the goldfish in the fish tanks keep swimming away from her when she tries to look at them. So Lawrence and Linda grab Ferb and Phineas (in that order) to look at dogs and cats (in that order); both saying that it's looking at them.

Then Phineas & Ferb think that one of the animals is looking at them at the same time; which is of course Perry in his glass cage. He chitters because he's a platypus who cannot speak. So a brown frizzled haired, black woman wearing a cheese shirt with yellow trim and blue pants approaches them and I just realized that it's the disguise of some familiar OWCA agent. Well; of course it is Mr. Weagle, they put OWCA on the signs for goodness sakes. Anyhow; the OWCA Animal Rescue Center Representive is voiced by Loni Love and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Love was born in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in the Brewster-Douglass Housing Projects.[3] Prior to her career as a comedian she was an electrical engineer,[4] an experience she talks about in many of her acts.[5] After graduating from high school in 1989, she had worked for a time on the General Motors assembly line putting doors on 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlasses, work which ignited her interest in electrical engineering. Love then received a scholarship and her bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Prairie View A&M University in Texas. While at Prairie View, she minored in music and was also a member of the Eta Beta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta.[6][7] It was there that she discovered stand-up comedy after winning a $50 competition and then performed constantly during her college life. After finding work as an engineer at Xerox in California, she continued to do stand-up after work in clubs and became a regular at the Laugh Factory.[3][8] After eight years of working at Xerox, Love resigned to pursue comedy during a layoff to prevent someone else from losing their job.[8] Love started her comedic career in 2003, after appearing on Star Search, reaching the finals and losing in a close competition to the winner.[9]

Since then, she has appeared in films and numerous television shows.[10] She has also acted in dramatic theatre plays.[10] Love was named "Hot Comic" for 2009 in Campus Activity magazine and one of the "Top 10 Comics to Watch" in both Variety and Comedy Central. She was awarded the Jury Prize for best stand-up at the 2003 US Comedy Arts Festival.[3] In 2008 Love became the CNN correspondent for D. L. Hughley Breaks the News and covered the inauguration of President Barack Obama. She also appears regularly in comedy clubs and the college comedy circuit.[10] In late 2009, Love recorded her first one-hour Comedy Central special, America's Sister, which aired on May 8, 2010.[11] In 2013, Loni released her first comedy advice book titled "Love Him Or Leave Him But Don't Get Stuck With The Tab". It was published by Simon and Schuster. She began her career as a Waitress in With Or Without You in 2003. Phineas & Ferb is her DTVA debut and only appearance. Bad Ass 3 as Carmen is her most recent credit. She has 18 acting credits, 59 Self credits, 3 writing credits and one producer credit to her resume. Candace is not amused about adopting a platypus as even the clerk is stunned that they would like the platypus. Candace complains about naming the sucker as Phineas monologues in the flashback that they know exactly what to call him and both Phineas & Ferb say Bartolemew. HAHA! Then we return to reality (no, not really) as Phineas shows off the lockets of them and Perry at a young age; and then admits that they came home and renamed them Perry. Now there's a conversation I would love to be the fly on the wall at. So we head to Candace's room with Candace sitting on the bed on the cellphone talking to Jeremy about going to the mall. We cut to Jeremy sitting down at the table in his kitchen eating from a bowl of Health Squares which we see the box in plain sight. Why do kids leave the box of cereal on the table while they eat from the bowl? I'm just asking a question here?

So Jeremy proclaims that he would love to go; but Jeremy's father is taking him to the old college today for some reason. Then Jeremy's father comes in who is a brown haired, brown mustached man wearing a pink sweater with a blue P on the front; and a checkered scarf yelling "BOOYA" and "Go Polecats!". I discover that he is Jack Johnson (Todd Stashwick); which means Jeremy's last name is Johnson. Lovely. He runs off stage right as Jeremy informs Candace that he set up an appointment with an academic advisor which he cannot believe that either. Candace stammers; but accepts Jeremy going and hangs up. Then she brings out her raggy teddy bear in which the head has a picture of Jeremy's mug right on the face of the bear. BOO HISS HOO to you Candace! Abusing teddy bears like that! Candace admitted that she forgot that Jeremy is a year older than her as we hit the montage of Jeremy with a cute blond goatee wearing tweed jackets with patches on the elbows going to college. No; I didn't describe what he is wearing; Candace did. Jeremy forgot the patches; so he finds two and puts them on his elbow. We return to reality (no, not really) as Candace is sitting in front of her desk with the mirror in front; talking about being a child and not being mature like Jeremy. Candace proclaims that she'll be mature from now on and rips the photo from Mr. Miggins showing her turnaround of child/mature/child in about three seconds by hugging Mr. Miggins. That made me laugh. So we head back to the backyard with Ferb placing a baseball on the tail of Perry as Phineas has a plate and a baseball bat (which are wired like in Teddy Ruxpin). Perry is ticked by Ferb; which causes the tail to throw the baseball. Phineas whacks the ball and it's a high fly ball going about 500 feet in the air; but only coming down about 50 feet away from Phineas. Phineas runs around cosplaying the crowd and the announcer at the same time. That made me laugh. Ferb checks a book which is records of platypus baseball; and giving the thumbs up on his historic feat. That also made me laugh as Ferb brings out his glove (which is rigged like in Teddy Ruxpin) and catches the ball with ease. Okay.

So in comes Isabella doing her catchphrase which for rant purposes is the last time we'll hear it. Phineas's response is that they are turning Perry's involuntary reflex into a sporting event. Isabella comes over and tickles Perry on the side of the face and the tail springs up and the ball goes over the fence for a homerun which Phineas is impressed at. So we jump cut to Buford and Baljeet coming in with Baljeet holding the baseball as Phineas explains that they were playing Platypult. Baljeet claims that he loves platypus-themed sports as Phineas wonders about having two Perry's and a net; and then proclaims that they would play bamintion; which this is what we are going to do today. Buford of course is confused about the sport and Annette; because he's an uneducated sexist, racist bully who self harms himself from time to time. So we HIT THE MONTAGE as the kids are building robots designed to look like Perry; which is seen in the main menu of this DVD set. Baljeet and Phineas are putting netting at the back of the large tail; and everything seems to be done; but Phineas wants to check with the foreman who was at the tree with a hard hat missing and a pillow. Phineas asks where Perry is and then finally notices something in the sense of Perry being gone when all of his inventions are being created. However; Phineas doesn't seem to mind as he thinks Perry can do what he wants since this is his special day. As Phineas is saying that we see Agent P behind the tree; and he throws a rock stage left and some noise comes out of it; causing the kids to bail to see what the noise is. So we see Agent P practicing the fine art of not being seen as he heads to the glass door; and then we see Perry going down the tube elevator which we zoom out to see Pinky (Isabella's chihuahua who is also an agent for OWCA) down her own tube elevator. And they stare before taking different directions all together. We see the underground hallways of the OWCA agents before Perry plops down in his seat in front of the computer at OWCA headquarters. I'm certain you all are sick and tired of me typing that sentence; but at least this is the final episode for me, so there you go.

So we see Major Monogram on the monitor as he tells us that Perry has had some really close calls lately with the family almost catching him going to his lair several times. He tells Agent P that if his cover is blown; then Agent P will have to be relocated to another host family, which Perry wouldn't like. Monogram then chirps about the first day he was assigned to the Flynn-Fletcher family and we flashback to the animal rescue center as the family wave farewell to the OWCA Animal Rescue clerk and walk out. Then the OWCA Animal Rescue clerk pulls her hair...oh wait...It's a mask revealing....Karl? WHAT?! So Karl is the clerk? Who was a white man playing a black woman? This was insulting to me. Anyhow; Karl has braces on too as he radios Monogram telling him that the mission was successful as we see Monogram at his computer with headphones on proclaiming that he'll get to unpaid intern yet; sporting swank black hair and a mustache. Geez; this makes Nick Fury look like a fool doesn't it? So we return to reality (no, not really) as Karl claims that he did become unpaid intern; and Monogram blows him off for being cocky, because Monogram secretly hates the whippersnaper. Or something. Anyhow; Monogram explains via some picture-in-picture footage of Perry having IR beams in his fedora hat. See; the hat contains an auto-scanner that scans Doctor Doofensmirtz's inators which we see in the basement lab of OWCA headquarters. One of them is a fishbone, one of them is a rock sock, one is a hotdog and one is a green mushroom. I can also confirm that OWCA does indeed have more than two human employees; which brings the total to 11. Two of them are checking a telescope laser like device as Monogram states that the jury is still out on weither they are getting smarter or dumber. I say dumber because they all are the same laser device. Anyhow; Doofensmirtz is now building an Alternative Dimension-inator and Agent P is taking notes. Monogram wants Perry to stop him at all costs; and then Monogram decides to do something different for this movie only: Channel Totally Spie(z)s; and make it look more absurd than TS could ever do.

Evidence #1 in succeeding in this mission: Behind Perry is a trapdoor that opens up and up rises a table of gadgets. This is all fine and dandy; except Karl didn't step on the platform in time; thus forcing the stopping of the music which Monogram orders directly to the hard camera. Monogram is not amused of course as we lower the platform again; and recue the music, again! So the platform rises with Karl on it this time; and in a shock, I didn't see the funny spot where I was certain Karl would be on it; but not the gadgets. So Karl comes over to Perry and shows him a wrist watch which Karl (By the way; his full name is Carl Karl so both spellings are correct no matter how you slice it or dice it.) calls a wrist communicationizer. It has many applications in the field. Device #1: an electromagnet that draws in metal objects; which he demonstrates by pointing the device to himself and it releases his glasses on it. Karl is suddenly confused because his glasses are aluminum which shouldn't stick to the device. Yeah; it's a logic break, but the writers clearly intended that one for comedy. Monogram blows him off for goofing around and demands that he show him the hologram. So Karl shows off the hologram of Monogram who informs us via this hologram that this will allow him and Perry to talk to each other anytime; anywhere, but he wants Perry to refrain calling him between 3:30 and 4:30 because he takes a shower. Oh geez; will this play into this episode somehow? Halo Monogram then notices his video image and they both act like goofy old morons. Karl realizes that this is offensive and switches the hologram off. So Karl points out another use for the device as he points it at himself; pushes the button and gets the icecream headache. This is also played for laughs like Brain Freeze; but at least it isn't treated like a drug high since Karl is in acute pain; before switching it off and giving it to Perry warning him to watch out when he points the thing. So it wasn't all that insulting to me, and they didn't overkill it either which would have been almost as insulting to brain stroke patients. Anyhow; I now see Brain Freeze from Fanboy & Chum Chum was trademarked which I don't care.

So we head inside Candace's room as Candace is standing on the bed putting some red...ummmm...pinecone/garland something into a box. There are clothes all over the floor; including a sunflower hat colored red. There is another box containing stuff as Candace is clearing out her top shelf over her bed. Then Stacey arrives asking what is going on as Candace is putting a unicorn in a box (the symbol of ficitional delusions the world over) and complaining about Jeremy going to college while she's busting her brothers (and failing) and living in a nursey. Geez; Candace has mommy issues to the gills today. See; Candace cosplays the unicorn claiming that it makes her look like she's six. Ironically; her playing the unicorn is much more mature than her busting her brothers at age 15 or so. She is so hopeless that she is packing up stuff because she is breaking her childhood folly and living an undemanding adult life; to which Linda is peeking through the door and sarcastically tells her good luck on this bold move (Stacey stated that this is a bold move); while informing her that she and Lawerence are heading to the theater to watch movies. So Linda puts Candace in charge and walks away from the door as Candace goes over to the windows and sees Phineas & Ferb making their W-Robot Perry tennis match. She proclaims that she is considering giving up on busting the brothers; and then Stacey states that the irony of this is that as an adult; she doesn't have to tell Linda anything, she can bust the brothers herself. Candace proclaims that this is a wonderful idea and Stacey points out that she just said that because it's the old "sidekick comes up with idea; main lead takes credit for it" spot which will never go out of style to make me laugh. So we head to Doofensmirtz Evil Inc (complete with jingle for the last time in terms of rants) and then we are in the lab of Doctor Doofensmirtz as he is talking to Agent P who I guess is trapped; which I discover that it's not because there is a wooden dummy painted green with a woodpecker-equse nose with a tennis racket and a fedora hat tied to a chair.

We have yet another inator that he introduces called the Other Dimension-inator (complete with sun lamp); and is in a groove which Norm kills off as he is at the buffet table doing nothing of note. Doofensmirtz blows Norm off because he ruined his buzz and then shows off Pretendy The Practicepus which has latex gloves for web feet. And a tennis ball literally comes out of the dummy's left eye. Sadly; it's Pretendy's. Anyhow; Doofensmirtz wonders about Perry cosplaying a dummy of Doofensmirtz while in is spare time. Perry does play with a dummy; but you do not want to know what the dummy is Doofensmirtz, no siree! His mind would be blown for sure. So Doofensmirtz claims that it's not a dummy; it's a stand in, which actually clairfies the situation doesn't it? Anyhow; there is a deleted scene inbetween this with Vanessa coming in and mocking Doofensmirtz for playing with a dummy which is funny considering what happens later on. Sadly; Vanessa doesn't appear in the DC version of the movie; only in the deleted scenes. Her voice talent is a different matter though. To sum it up: Doofensmirtz is playing himself basically. So we head back to the backyard as we start the baminton game. Did I mention Phineas & Ferb are in a giant shuttlecock which is placed on the giant tail of the mechinized giant Perry? Phineas & Ferb are wearing helmets as Isabella gets the honor of shooting the shuttlecock so to speak. That sounds perverted for some strange reason. Baljeet is holding the tail back as Isabella starts twisting the pulley down while Phineas counts down from thirty seconds; as the tail is sprung back like a catapult. So we head back to OWCA headquarters as Karl shows him a spear like harpoon with a sightscope on it; which Karl tells him to keep the safety on because it can only be used against the Royal Family or an MP attacking him. Canadian or British? Geez; I wonder if that will play into the episode? So he tries to show off the new rocket car which is basically the old one with a souped up big ass engine in the back; but Perry gets into the car and starts it.

Monogram wants Karl to inform him that the accelerator is touchy on it and the rocket car almost murders Karl in the process; and takes off, destroying the ceiling in the process. Karl lands on his ass on the ground and claims that he already knows. So we head back to the backyard as we count down to zero. Here's what happens next according to the Phineas Wikia: Isabella pushes a button marked INVOLUNTARY REFLEX, and the platypult launches them, at the same time, Perry's rocket car bursts out of the ground nearby and collides with it, sending them both careening away from each other. Yeah; that was interesting and guess who this is? Karl of course; because he was the one who made the accelerator touchy in the first place. It's so obvious. So we see Candace and Stacey run out into the backyard and there is Baljeet and Isabella standing there while Candace claims that the boys are so busted again; demanding answers. Isabella only states that they don't know because something happened to Phineas & Ferb; and the invention is gone. Candace deduces that the "mysterious force" is realizing that she is a grown up. Since when? Since this movie I guess. Stacey no sells it because she is a woman of science; which is according to her horroscope. Yeah; she is a woman of science. Junk science! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Candace is going to prove that her mysterious force can be defeated and bust her brothers at the same time. So she demands to know where Phineas is; and Baljeet simply blurts out that they were launched towards the park where Buford is; who has the other mech Perry racket called a Platypult. Candace then asks if anyone needs to go to the potty; and Stacey raises her right arm. HA! Candace tells her to make it quick and that's that. I should note that there was a deleted song in between this; which is on the DVD, which is surprising considering Disney's modern image of "Song first" policy. Funny that; since in 1990, it was "if it's a character development song then cut it; because kids will change the channel" amirite?

Personally; I am almost now certain that it was copyright issues with the Disney Afternoon soundtrack singer of "Home Is Where The Heart is" that was the main reason for Disney cutting the song and never reinstating it on DVD. Or it's because Disney is just an idiot who doesn't care if they are an idiot. So we head to a building and a logic break: In the first shot; we see the shuttlecock heading towards a sign which has a man with a tennis racket which would be a neat sight gag at least. As we head to the FPS shot though; we see the shuttlecock is nowhere near the billboard I described and is actually heading to Doofensmirtz Evil Incorporated's door which Phineas claims that it vaguely resembles Ferb's head. So Doofensmirtz goes to the look out to try out the Other Dimension-inator; and nothing happens. AND THE ROCK SEZS NOTHING! Doofensmirtz is not amused by this because he just finished it and cannot be broken. He also remembers to step about three steps to the right because the giant shuttlecock comes in and destroys the Other Dimension-inator. HAHA! I guess the machine is sentient enough to realize that there is no point in turning on; if it's going to get destroyed five seconds later. Doofensmirtz sulks and walks over to the destroyed inator which is on bottom below the shuttlecock. Out comes Phineas & Ferb as Phineas apologizes to Doofensmirtz for screwing up his work and they exchanges names and notes; as Phineas asks what Doofensmirtz was doing. Doofensmirtz explains his inator and Phineas /Ferb offers to fix it without delay. So Doofensmirtz agrees to it and offers the boys the buffet table for them to enjoy since someone is running fashionably late today. So we cut to a park as a driver is towing away the rocket car while the driver with a brown mustache and wearing green talks to Perry about being lucky that he has a rocket car winch; which most tow trucks don't have. So we head back to Doofensmirtz Evil Inc as Phineas and Ferb have already fixed most of the Other Dimension-inator as Phineas asks about the field compressor attached to the auxiliary generator working properly and Doofensmirtz responds that it wasn't working at all.

So Phineas opens up the control panel and he sees that everything is wired up to the self-destruct button; asking if he needs that. Oh snap! The business of OWCA has already been exposed! No, not really. Doofensmirtz stammers like an idiot and then recoils and states that he doesn't need it and the boys are correct. That sinster look indicates that he is insane because he repeated the same thing over and over again; and expected a different result, but now knows what to do differently. At least in theory. So Ferb shows off a remote control device with a purple button and colored green is a device to reel in the guy who gets separated from the protal. Doofensmirtz is impressed with these boys. I should also point out that Phineas & Ferb now know that he's Doctor Doofensmirtz; and Doofensmirtz admits in his own way that everyone calls him a pharmacist. Yeah; he doesn't say the word outright; but his sigh implies otherwise; since he is called that by a good chunk of the characters in this show. So Phineas is boosted by Ferb as Phineas puts in the final piece (the sunlamp) to connect to the machine; and then Perry jumps in breaking down a glass window (with no sign of glass shattering at all) and is about to kick Doofensmirtz in the teeth; but sees the boys and stops in his tracks literally. Perry is nervous and then Phineas turns around and sezs there you are Perry; and Perry turns into a platypus and chitters. There's one problem with this: Doofensmirtz knows Perry's name already as he's confused about this. Phineas claims that in a perfect world; every platypus would be named Perry. So if you see platypuses being named Perry en masse; you know which show to blame it on. Doofensmirtz kneels over to Perry and tickles him under the chin; which is always the dumbest thing you can do to an animal; and Perry bites his finger onscreen. Phineas & Ferb pull him off and scold Perry for biting the elderly. Ummm; that's dumb because the joke is that everyone calls Doofensmirtz a pharmacist and the fact is that Doofensmirtz clearly looks 35-40 years old which is far from being a member of the elderly at this point. I wonder if Mike Adams had something to do with this?

Phineas apologizes for this and Doofensmirtz forgives him because platypuses hate him for some reason. Geez; I wonder why? Maybe it's because Doofensmirtz created an inator to murder Perry in cold blood in one episode. So Phineas has the sun lamp attachment and goes to the inator; when Perry suddenly jumps in and grabs the attachment and runs to hide underneath the table. Phineas finds him easily; and pulls on the attachment scolding him for playing tug of war before managing to win the tug of war battle anyway. So we see the kids and Doofensmirtz head to the device as Phineas attaches the sun lamp to the machine and Doofensmirtz proclaims that it's time to take this show on the road. Perry is watching from near the table as we see Monogram's head telling Perry that if his cover is blown; he'll never see them again. Doofensmirtz comments that he hears a voice from somewhere for no reason; which is Monogram talking on the hologram watch proclaiming that he'll never see him again which Perry puts a paw on it to shut him up. So the thing is about to start; and then something amazing happened. Something I would never see in a DTVA cartoon before. Perry runs onto the conveniently placed couch and usually this is standard fare for Disney, and then he actually on camera pees on the couch. HOLY CRAP! I normally don't say that about a modern era new Disney show; but I did not see this coming from new Disney. Yes; I have word the word pee several times in Fish Hooks and Kick Buttowski. Along with nudity and such (although the nudity and fart jokes go back as early as Cubbi stripping naked on camera in Gummi Bears back in the mid 1980's.). However; this is the first time I saw anyone (animal or human) pee on camera in a DTVA cartoon. The sofa cushions get wet; and Phineas turns around and blows off Perry for peeing on the couch. Ferb runs over and grabs Perry; while Phineas calls Doofensmirtz Doctor D; which is more respectful than anyone has ever said to him originally.

Phineas apologizes for this and Doofensmirtz forgives him as he turns the cushions over because he was going to throw out the conveniently placed couch anyway. Which I bet will be sold to someone who needs a fainting couch which indicates that Disney will sell it to the 700 Club after they see the peeing scene with Perry. That is a neat bathroom joke by the way. So we return to the inator as Doofensmirtz wants to light the pop stand; only this time Ferb has Perry watching this and he looks nervous as hell as the inator turns on; and Doofensmirtz pushes the button after saying that Perry is not here to thwart him, so he isn't coming today. We get a portal of lime green goo as Doofensmirtz wants to see the first screens of the portal to another dimension and we finally flash a circular image of a room which looks completely purple and pink with designs that make it look like the Econo-Lodge in hell. They only show a couch, a desk lamp, a shelf and a sun-like clock with no face. Doofensmirtz is not all that impressed and calls this anti-climatic; but then notices that it's still better than his sucky green couch which has just been peed on by Perry; and he wants to switch couches. So he hops into the next dimension and grabs the couch and tries to pull it towards the portal. He calls for the boys to give him a hand as he manages to get to the portal; but Phineas & Ferb enter the portal; and they are looking around the place like two kids who are curious as heck. Doofensmirtz continues to pull in the couch; and then someone clears his throat. Doofensmirtz turns around and notices Major Monogram in a Jukebox wearing a purple soda jerk uniform with a clam shell on top. Behind him is a purple background wall that reads Doof over and over again; then a red wall with V's on it; and then a pink wall on the left with wormhole like lines. Above Monogram is a black framed picture of someone who is clearly in a black suit against a sunset background with the letters "ruler" written in purple. If you cannot guess who rules the Tri-state area in this reality; you have no business reading this rant.

Doofensmirtz notices Monogram 2nd (my new name for him) against the lime green background of the jukebox and ponders this over; while Phineas calls for Doofensmirtz to come over to the lookoff; and Doofensmirtz tells him to hold that thought. Don't worry Doof; he will. He...WILL~! So we head to the balcony as Doofensmirtz runs in and Phineas and Ferb point out that he is famous; complete with Las Vegas style music. So; I'm just going to read the next scenes from Phineas wikia because they do a better job describing the pan over scene of this than I could: So the panover reveals the 2nd Dimension Tri-State Area, which is various colors of purples, pinks and greens, we see various places, all named after Doofenshmirtz, we see a 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz poster, he wears a black lab coat buttoned over grey pants and black boots, and grey gloves, has a goatee, spiked up hair and an eyepatch on his left eye, which has a scar that goes over the patch. Then they reveal a large statue of Doofenshmirtz-2, he rides a rhino, holding a shield that reads ME, and holding a sword that reads OBEY. Then they reveal a store called Doof's Closet, signs on it read YOUR HOTSPOT FOR MANDATORY DOOFERALLS!, CLOTHES YOU MUST OWN!, HIGH PRICES!, EXPENSIVE!, THE LATEST IN REQUIRED CONFORMITY! Then we cut to a subway train with 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz's face pulls into the station, its doors open.

Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension) 's VO: Get off!

Everyone in Danville is wearing farmer's overalls and the same color scheme of clothing and style. This is probably one of the few times I have ever seen them do a sweeping scale panover of Danville since TaleSpin with Cape Suzette; and it took going to the second dimension to pull this off. So we see a green blimp with the new Doofensmirtz Evil Inc. on the side with a black/red tipped rocket which is shaped like Doofensmirtz's head. Doofensmirtz reads the side messages which reveals that the leader of Danville is Heniz Doofensmirtz. Martial arts zoom in on Perry ensues and he gulps. So we cut to some whacky shaped and whacky colored building as Doofensmirtz is loving this dimension because he's already large and in charge so to speak. So Doofensmirtz wants to check out something and walks into the building. He waves to Monogram 2nd and Monogram 2nd blows him off for trying to test him. Then Monogram 2nd cannot believe that this is Doofensmirtz 1st which Doofensmirtz climbs on the jukebox somehow and sezs Holy Boy! Wow; I thought holy was barred in the new Disney. I guess it really is not. Monogram has his fists on top of a purple box blowing him off for calling him a slave as we discover that Monogram's first name is Francis; and Monogram 2nd would like to be called the indentured executive assistant. Yeah right Monogram 2nd?! That was your real title in OWCA in the 1st dimension; only with the assistant is removed from said title. So Doofensmirtz wants to see the second dimension version of himself; as Monogram 2nd realizes that he's from another dimension and opens the book which features a pop up of Doofensmirtz 2nd's face. Monogram 2nd also tells us that Doofensmirtz 2nd likes freaky things like that and so a chair with handlebars whizzes in to Monogram 2nd's left. Doofensmirtz goes over and sits in the chair; and he is whisked away stage right. He's going to Oz; the hell version of it! So here's what happens next and this segment is so out there to me that it's better for the Phineas wikia to describe it for your convenience and my sanity....

(So Doofensmirtz screams as two doors open and he enters, a song starts up as he goes into an animatronic ride filled with gnomes, he passes by the Gunther Goat Cheese's Goat and waves)
Gnomes: ♪ Doof Doof Doof♪ / ♪Bask in his glory♪ / ♪Kneel at his feet ♪ /♪ You're in for such a treat♪ / ♪He's Doofenshmirtz!♪ (He enters another room)
Doofenshmirtz: That was awesome! (He slides up to a desk, a chair turns to reveal 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz)

I should note that since a lot of Family Guy guys are involved in this show; it should be no surprise that Doofensmirtz lifted that spot from Peter Griffin who found out that Meg was gay. So Doofensmirtz 2nd is demanding answers to this outrage; and then turns around to see Doofensmirtz 1st. We ponder and do eye contact violence to start and they switch places for about three times before Doofensmirtz 2nd asks who he is. Doofensmirtz 1st proclaims that he's Doofensmirtz from another dimension and Doofensmirtz 2nd notices the uncanny resemblence. And so we hit the TEDDY RUXPIN SONG OF DOOM which is basically a comedy version of Sky Pirates with lots of tap dancing and vending machine becoming dominant robots. Basically; this song is about Doofensmirtz and Doofensmirtz 2nd's similarities to each other; and it's a bonding song which I actually think is cute and funny at the same time. I should note that in Doof 2nd's office; there is a big ass lamp which has Doof written all over it; with eyes bleeding into it; like an APE background from the 1950's. We get the Blues Brothers cameo spot and a lot of dynamic duos with lots of jumping up and down; including the spot with the police officer Doof shoving the adult Doof. So then we talk about how disappointed they are in the other; as Doofensmirtz 2nd tells us that the eye is in his pouch which he shows on camera. Doofensmirtz then asks about the scar going over his eyepatch; and Doof 2nd give him eye contact violence to counter which stands down Doofensmirtz into a whimper. HAHA! So we continue singing some more; including a spot where they show a picture of Lorenzo Lamlas who voiced Meap; which I finally got to him in Mind Share. They sing about sheep and Illamas weirding themselves out; and play drums on the bones of a skeleton of an animal; which is probably a goat. So they play violins and ride on a two person bicycle; then the spot of the Doofs dressed up like bakers sorting out cupcakes and screwing that up (and wearing pink to boot!); then we see the Doofs dressed up like Phineas & Ferb! There's your $50 right there folks.

And wouldn't you know it; when they dance on the dance floor; Doofensmirtz 2nd is dressed like a woman. Geez; even in this dimension; Doofensmirtz is still not a man. That's....fine. He was better off not being a real man anyway; since he's funnier this way. So we get more duo sidekicks/main lead cameos of history, television shows and the like. Trying to name all the cameos is a chore and I have until April 1st to finish this; so I'm going to have to cut most of them off except for the ones that actually made me laugh. So this ends with them singing with a black background with colored letters reading Doof over and over again; and then the song ends with Doofensmirtz singing "see us on Fridays" and a large "Fridays" in red letter appears bleeding in the background; and the music suddenly comes to a halt like a Coleman Francis movie. Doofensmirtz 2nd is not amused by this and proclaims that they may not be all that alike. Doofensmirtz stammers; but then pokes at the upper chest of Doofensmirtz's chest and calls him the grumpy one, which doesn't amuse Doof 2nd. So we head back to the balcony as Phineas proclaims that he has really done well for himself; and lifts Perry up and wonders what he thinks. Ferb is silent on this and Perry still makes more noise and emotion than him as he is nervous and chittering at the same time. Phineas then asks where Doctor D is? Oh; he's still angry after WWE fired him....Oh wait; you mean Doofensmirtz? Sorry about that; I keep forgetting the difference between cartoons and wrestling. One is fake and the other is a cartoon. So we head back to Doof 2nd's office as Doofensmirtz and Doofensmirtz 2nd are exchanging notes about the situation with Doofensmirtz not ruling the Tri-State area. Basically Danny is talking to himself like Phil Baron does when Teddy and Burl Ruxpin are in the same room talking to each other. Sadly; the creator of Teddy Ruxpin, Ken Forsse passed away last week, so the Father's Day special is even more important now; since I decided on the Nogbert Castle debut arc; since one of the stories in that arc involves a major angle that was in the original storybooks; which was the day Teddy Met Grubby; which is exactly what the title reads.

Doof 2nd is not impressed as Doofensmirtz makes excuses about dealing with Perry The Platypus which he calls obvious since Doof 2nd is ruler of the Tri-State area. Doofen 2nd smiles and sees this as a dare; and we see a circular elevator in the distance open and there is little smoke as the fiend steps out; and it's Perry the Platyborg; who is a cross between the Terminator, Robocop and a Cyberman; only without the mask. He does look similar to someone else in Star Trek: The Next Generation when he looked like a cyborg; but my mind is too foggy on who it might be. Disney Captions addresses Doofensmirtz 2nd as Doofensmirtz 2D; which is dumb, but whatever. Doofen 2nd proclaims that he was his nemesis; but he is now the general of Doofen 2nd's army. As if Monogram being in a jukebox wearing a purple sodajerk uniform didn't give that away. Doof 2nd dismisses Perry 2nd; and Perry 2nd salutes him and rockets up to the ceiling; and apparently, the cameras stop too early because he was going to crash into the ceiling; but we jump cut to Phineas, Ferb and Perry coming in the Gnome Sliding Chairs from Hell~! Doofen 2nd demands answers to this outrage; and proclaims that he will berate Monogram 2nd later on. Doofensmirtz calls this all cool because they were with him. The kids and Perry walk in as Phineas is relieved that they almost lost him. Doofensmirtz 2nd starts to panic and grab onto Doof's white coat; because Doof brought in a secret agent. UH OH! Now I wonder what Monogram's response would be in this situation since Doof 2nd knows Agent P is walking like a regular platypus and not fooled by the appearance. Doofensmirtz is playing dumb; only it's not lying as he thinks Doofensmirtz 2nd is pointing to Phineas, Ferb and the conveniently placed fern plant beside them in that order. I'll let Candace say it all for this routine....

Candace: That fern is so getting murdered by Stephen Colbert!

Doofensmirtz 2nd blows him off in the same order as the previous order; and points directly at Perry for being a secret agent. Phineas has no idea what he is talking about and claims that he doesn't do much. Doofen 2nd isn't buying it and even starts poisoning the well proclaiming that Perry is using the two boys as cover as a secret agent. Doof 2nd proclaims that he'll prove it and calls for Perry 2nd as he comes down and crushes Doofen 2nd's right foot. Foot grabbing spot ensues and I'm so disappointed because the obvious joke is to step on Doofensmirtz 1st's foot. That instead would have kept Doofen 2nd strong; but this spot doesn't. Anyhow; Doofen 2nd orders Perry 2nd to get Perry; and Perry 2nd comes over and MURDERS Perry in the kisser on screen with a punch and he goes flying. Perry lands and completely no sells the punch. Even funnier; Phineas gets all pissed off at Perry 2nd and both he and Ferb rush over to Perry and literally check his vital signs like a doctor. After no selling a devastating punch. He made Perry 2nd look so weak there guys! Doofensmirtz claims that this is proof that Doofensmirtz 2nd is wrong about Perry; so Doofen 2nd decides to change tactics and have Perry 2nd get Phineas & Ferb instead. I think we all know where this is going now as even Doofen 2nd is taken aback of this. So Perry 2nd charges at the boys; and Phineas turns around noticing it right away. He doesn't try to run nor does Ferb; which is moot because Perry finally stops selling and turns into Agent P punching Perry 2nd in the face; complete with Perry jingle. Phineas & Ferb are in shock as Perry looks around and he's screwed. Doofen 2nd points this out as the proof he needs as Doofensmirtz is confused about this. Doofensmirtz 2nd is flustered as Perry formally blows his cover outright; putting the fedora hat on his head in front of the boys for the first time ever. And Phineas & Ferb Get Busted doesn't count by the way. Doofensmirtz 2nd is now pissed off and out comes the two armored bots which look like a cross between MEL from Bullethead Baloo and the Dalieks from Doctor Who.

So we get the chase of doom for a while as Perry grabs Phineas & Ferb's arms; and they are running around the place hiding under stuff for a while. Phineas is asking questions about Perry being a secret agent (Ummm; the fedora hat Phineas? Do you see platypuses wearing fedora hats willfully?) as the Dalek robot of doom punches the skull goat head off the skeleton and it flies to the window; and somehow it doesn't shatter. Man; these windows are tougher than Steve Williams. Doofensmirtz 2nd blows them off as Phineas and company are forced to back up. And now Phineas is angry (about this happy only emotion stuff again? Can you see how crappy your opinion of that is now?) at Perry because he sneaks away into this dimension to fight Doofensmirtz 2nd; leading a double life and all that stuff as Doofensmirtz has to correct him that he's really fighting an evil scientist who Phineas finally calls a pharmacist who they helped create a device to get them into another world; and then Doofensmirtz is pissed off because Perry peed on the couch which Perry shrugged his shoulders in embrassment. Now; I would have thought that Phineas would have been angry about the double life itself; but I realize that he's really pissed off at Perry for not stopping them from Doofensmirtz by putting the fedora hat on and stopping them. Has Phineas & Ferb ever watched a horror movie? It's always the pharmacist who is the evildoer. Considering the number of big idea these two punk kids have come up with; they should have known that this would happen just after they crashed into the inator with the Shuttlecock; and it was their invention that got them INTO this mess in the first place! Listen Phineas; I can understand being angry for Perry not being honest about his life; but at least we know in storyline why. But when it was your shuttlecock that landed in the DEI building and crushed the inator; and you were dumb enough to listen to a guy who looks like an evil scientist, that is your fault...Actually; it's really Karl's fault for the faulty accelerator; but I doubt he'll be fired anytime soon.

So anyway; Doofensmirtz 2nd blows them off and tells them to hash this out in prison as he orders the Dalek robots to grab them. The kids and Perry step back and the glass starts to crumble from underneath their feet; but it's moot because BS&P RULEZ~! See Perry grabs the skull of the goat and the window flips about five times causing the kids and Perry to freefall down from the building. Perry uses his feet to surf on the skull goat (So Kit's a secret agent now? No wonder I haven't heard from him in months! I'm fine with it; better than him in Eisner's tomb from hell.) and he allows Phineas & Ferb to grab onto the horns; and he releases the parachute which brings out the jingle Agent P. Phineas looks confused and shocked by this as Perry hands him a pamplet which reads "So your platypus is a secret agent...?"; which Phineas blows off and throws it in Perry's face. Perry 2nd leaps down after them; and extends his wings, darting towards them. Phineas doesn't like this; so Perry dodges Perry 2nd, but Perry 2nd returns on the rebound and Perry dislodges the chute as Perry 2nd cuts through. They land and slide down another window bank. Platyborg rockets back at them. Perry struggles to remove his feet from the skull; Phineas looks around and is angry. Phineas mocks him as Perry struggles to get free; and then Phineas and Ferb try to dislodge him from the goat skull. Perry is flung, he lands up on the windows and balances himself. Platyborg lands next to him and his wings retract, Perry turns the skull to face him. Phineas & Ferb get covered in the parachute of doom and Phineas is pissed off because it has a logo of his face on it. Funny that; since Phineas did that with Perry in Toy To The World basically. Yeap; this is petty jealousy now. So here's what happens next according to Phineas Wikia: Perry and Platyborg fight. Perry grabs Platyborg's arm and punches Platyborg's face several times and Perry 2nd no sells them; despite selling the punch earlier when Perry blew his cover. Platyborg smirks evilly and punches Perry, sending him back near the edge. Platyborg morphs his hand into a spinning mace, but Phineas and Ferb wrap him in the parachute. He stumbles and falls off the edge.

Phineas blows off Perry for being dishonest about not doing much and I'm ready to yell at Phineas to SOD OFF~! Seriously; I am. This is exactly why Phineas should not be angry; because he's becoming an idiot jealous white angry little man. The skull is caught in the chute lines. Phineas and Ferb grab on, they fall, Platyborg grabs a nearby ledge and Phineas, Ferb, and Perry are flung into a window pane. They all tip as they hit each one, lowering them to the ground. They land on their asses; as Phineas is relieved that they have been saved by whacky construction. Then we see a Dalek robot shadow approach our heroes; and it's Norm in a Dalek suit? Seriously? They stare for a bit; and then Norm's head goes into the robot's body and the Norm Bot is a regular armored bot as he wants to destroy them for not showing papers. So here's what happens next: The skull lands on the Normbot's head, it sputters and flies off erratically. The door opens and Platyborg comes out, tearing off the chute, he marches up to them, then he hears a noise and looks. The Normbot lands, but right behind him. Platyborg then goes back to marching, but is then hit by a bus. Now that was convenient; and it was a complete blur. And to think; Darkwing Duck getting run over by a train in a Kennedy Cartoon episode was much worse than this one. Perry, Phineas, and Ferb run off. We then get a shot of the top of the Doofensmirtz 2nd Evil Inc. building as the Norm Bots are watching doing nothing; and the two Doofens curse Perry again. Doofensmirtz jinxs Doofensmirtz 2nd of course because he's a goofball pharmacist. Damn; I am going to miss him for until I start ranting on this show again sometime in 2016. What are you staring at? So Doofen 2nd owes him a soda. Then we cut to Norm Bot popping from the carnage (yes; a skull of a goat; just play along) and proclaims that he's a painting from Georgia O'Keefe; and then a yellow taxi pulls up with Perry 2nd impacted on the windshield for no reason as a black taxi driver is driving the taxi. I discover that they are on 4th & Main; and then we get a logic break: Perry 2nd jumps off the windshield and pays the taxi driver cash.

So think about this for a moment: Perry 2nd is the general of the army of Doofensmirtz 2nd. So shouldn't Perry 2nd get the perks of free taxi service? Second; the taxi is an ordinary taxi from the real world and it doesn't conform with the continuity of the scene. None of this makes any sense. Although when the black taxi driver asks for a tip; Perry 2nd morphs his hand into the spinning spiked mace; and that's enough for the driver to say that he's good and drives off. The third problem with this is similar to what happened earlier: So they used a black taxi driver stereotype in this scene; and then had Karl dress up like a black woman. So I guess that if it is classified as a movie, BS&P will loosen up on racism. But they refuse to allow the kids to go through a glass window via shattering said window even though Ducktales allowed it in Treasure Of The Golden Suns. It's one thing to have double standards. Sometimes it happens; and sometimes they are needed. However; this double standard is so bad that it shouldn't be used. Anyhow; Perry 2nd looks around as we cut to Phineas, Ferb and Perry running in an alleyway and hide behind the open dumpster. The Norm bots are so stupid that he don't even bother to look to the left as they pass by. Anyhow; the robots are gone which means Phineas now has enough time to completely disown Perry on the spot as the dialogue suggests here...

Phineas: Looks like they're gone. (Looks at Perry) You're a secret agent?! And you've been living with us this whole time? Was that evil guy right? Were we just your cover story? Were you ever really our pet or part of our family? (Perry looks down, depressed) Apparently not, cause you didn't trust us enough to tell us.

Again; I might not be on Phineas' side of this ordeal because I think he's jealous of Perry's abilities, but I will say this: Being happy most of the time works for Phineas because when he gets angry or pissed off, it has a lot of impact and I can get behind the storyline. Even this one. If he was an angry little man like the old farts want him to be; then the pathos would never work because it would come off as unjustified. I would see him as "I don't care about Phineas because he's such an angry little moronic man that should have seen this coming a mile away". Here it is "Boy; I do feel sorry for Phineas finding out that Perry lives a double life, even if Phineas should have seen this coming a mile away. And it's clear now that Ferb has sympathy towards Perry because when Phineas wants to know who else is living a double life, Ferb raises his arm up. Classy guy Ferb always makes me smile; as Phineas blows him off for that. Phineas continues to yell at Perry until Ferb shakes his shoulder blade which shakes him out of yell mode as he realizes that they need to get back home somehow but doesn't know how. Yeah; maybe yelling at the double life platypus wasn't such a good idea huh? Ferb produces the remote control they created; and Phineas realizes that they can use it to get back. So they shoot with the remote control for a while; and keep getting the dimension with the six eyed (purple whites mind you) alien of doom in some lush jungle of doom. Phineas complains about the thing being broken and then gets a big idea which is to find their own selves in this dimension. So they peek from the dumpster and then Phineas starts blowing off Perry for not cleaning his own kitty litter. Sod off Phineas Flynn-Fletcher! Yeah; now I'm pissed at him as they all run off. Then we have a segment which is better explained like this; and you'll see why I think it's so funny....Cue 1984!! So we head to a lit room with darkness in the background; which looks something out of 1984. Doofenshmirtz is squeezed into a small school chair. 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz is by a picture of Perry in pet mode. Then we have this charming exchange which makes me laugh too....

Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension): So tell me, other-dimension me. What do you see here?
Doofenshmirtz: An ordinary platypus. (2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz flips the page, now showing an image of Perry in secret agent mode.)
Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension): And now what do you see?
Doofenshmirtz: (gasps) Perry the Platypus!
Doofenshmirtz-2: You know, I'm starting to see why you haven't become ruler in your dimension.
Doofenshmirtz: Alright, Mr. "Eviler than Thou", how did you manage to take over the Tri-State Area, anyway?
Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension): Simple, I used an army of big, scary robots. (Motions to a huge army of Normbots, they convert to the Norm heads)
Normbots: We should do lunch sometime! (they revert back to the armored heads as we are in some kind of robot theater)
Doofenshmirtz: Wow, that is scary. I tried that robot thing once, too. I hid the self-destruct button on the bottoms of their feet, so nobody could reach them. (Flashback to Doofenshmirtz with his army of bots in the streety, all which have the foot with the self destruct button raised up, he rides on the shoulder of one of the bots. Doofenshmirtz then calls out "And march", which causes the robots to take a step forward and explode.)

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I don't care if Doofensmirtz is an idiot; that will always make me laugh. By the way; the effects they use in the foreground look like water or something. So we return to reality (no, not really) as Doofensmirtz's reaction to this is priceless. So Doofensmirtz asks the obvious question of why Doofensmirtz 2nd is much better at evil than he is. So Doofen 2nd proclaims that true evil is born through pain and loss. So he just said that Kit Cloudkicker is a true evildoer; so I know this is BS. More like being through apathy and having some resemblence of smarts. Anyhow; Doofen 2nd talks about his childhood past because he had a wooden train when he was a boy back in Gimmelshtump. We flashback to young Doofenshmirtz-2, still with the eyepatch, but no scar. He holds a wooden train, we then see him looking at the tracks. Doofen 2nd narrates that he had the train as he looks at it; and then we jump cut to a sky shot of the room as there are train tracks but no train. The train is gone you see and all young Doofen 2nd could say is choo-choo. HAHA! So we return to reality (no, not really) as we do the "do nothing of note and see if the kids laugh at it" spot, only I am laughing at it, so it's a success! Good for you show! You made the spot work. Too bad it's going to enable copycats who don't understand why the spot worked; even within the new Disney. Doofensmirtz then asks if that is it; and then we get another really charming exchange just to bring the funny some more...

Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension): What do you mean?
Doofenshmirtz: That's your emotionally scarring backstory? That's your great tragedy? Dude, I was raised by ocelots, literally. Disowned by my parents and raised by Central American wildcats, and you're telling me you lost a toy train? That's it? That's all you got? Really? I had to work as a lawn gnome, I was forced to wear hand-me-up girl's clothing, neither of my parents showed up for my birth!
Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension): Well, how did you feel when you lost that toy train?
Doofenshmirtz: Well, I never lost that toy train.
Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension): Well, maybe if you had, you would've done better. Since you have neglected to take over YOUR Tri-State Area, I think I'll go over there and give it a shot myself.
Doofenshmirtz: Great, we can be a team!
Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension): (Sarcastic) Yeah, right, a team.
Doofenshmirtz: Wait, was that sarcasm?
Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension): (Sarcastic) No...
Doofenshmirtz: Yeah, right there, I'm pretty sure that's my voice when I'm being sarcastic.

HAHA! You know what is funny about this? They actually remembered to reference Doofensmirtz's life and most of them I actually remember; mostly the lawn gnome thing. The point is; this show thinks it's episodic, but it is a serial. Only sloppier in animation and logic. Again; if serial do poorly in reruns, then why aren't the episodes in Phineas & Ferb self-contained then? Why do they keep referencing other episodes, most so this movie which is a shoutout to everything that happened up to at the point when this movie aired. Sure; sometimes the episodes are run out of order; but there is still a sense that stuff happens and is related in the next episode. It reminds me of TaleSpin where it feels like the episodes are self-contained; but there is a sense that I can put a approx timeline into each one (like For Whom The Bell Klangs and Road To Macadamia could be before Baloo met Kit for example). Again to Damon: citation required or your just making crap up. Phineas & Ferb is the glowing example of serials doing well in reruns; because if it wasn't then the show would be over in season one or two; rather than being merely on hiatus in season four! Now since this is a comedy; I will entertain the comedy over pathos arguement because there is a fine example of it here. However; from a logical standpoint, if kids have that 30 minute attention span; then why did a 76 minute movie like this do 7.8 million viewers which is one of the highest ratings ever in the series, and then it reran with over 10 million on ABC? If kids have such a short attention span; then nothing would last 30 minutes. The only way this would be logical is if the quarter hours from 30 minutes onward were lower than the first thirty minutes. I need a citation for that one too. Let me just say that I don't put much credence (if any) on Silverstar's arguments. And I betcha he doesn't on my arguments either.

So we finally head back to Danville Park in the first dimension (after nearly 15-18 minutes; at almost 27 minutes in) as we see Candace with Stacey, Isabella and Baljeet looking at Buford sitting down on a bench. Candace demands to know where Phineas & Ferb are and Buford has no idea where they are because they didn't return serve, so Buford does the Gruffi pose and proclaims that they forfeited and thus he wins; so he shows us a gum packet of Bubblicious which is called Victory Gun (in red letters with a white circle surrounding the V) with blue/yellow packing; and it gets it's own musical jingle. VICTORY GUM~! Even if you win by forefeit. That made me laugh. Buford calls this as old as the game itself. Candace no sells this bill of good and demands to know where the platyput is; and Buford shurgs his shoulders claiming that it disappeared. Candace then looks at Stacey and provides this as evidence that the mysterious force did all this. I realize now that the mysterious force is BS&P for God; as Stacey blows it off because there is a logical explaination for this. We cut to the tow truck driver from before towing the Platypult in the street; and mocking someone named Wayne for thinking that he was dellusional. We cut back to Candace proclaiming that the logical explanation is that God is working against her to prevent her from busting her brothers. So Buford calls her Kierkegaard and tells her to just ask it. They stare at him and Buford admits that he stole the promo from a trading card that comes with the gum and we see the trading card of three B&W photos of doctors who look more like pharmacists than Doofensmirtz does; which is part of the collection known as the Existentialist trading cards. Only in this show would this kind of whacky stuff actually be funny. Candace proclaims that she'll talk to the mysterious force and reason with it; which Stacey blows off as a force she made up. Ummm; not exactly Stacey, but you're in the ballpark more or less. Candace drags Stacey and runs out of Danville park since they are returning to the backyard to talk to the heart of the mysterious force.

So we pan over to Baljeet showing his green cards which are two Sartres which he wants to trade for a Nietzsche; and I betcha Buford pops the bubble he's making into Baljeet's face to indicate that this is a no....And they trade cards without incident, but Baljeet grabs the card and yells sucker at him. I don't get this joke at all; so let's go back to the second dimension as ther streets of Danville are wired with cameras and propaganda using red signs; gates and lawn gnomes. In other words; the suburbs in hell; which is not much different than in real life. So we see the Normbots scoping the area; and then we get a closeup of two trash cans on the sidewalk as Phineas & Ferb pop out of the cans and look around. Apparently; they are in the 2nd dimension version of where the Flynn-Fletcher family live. So Phineas & Ferb head to the door and we see Lawerence wearing farmer overalls and the shirt like everyone in this dimension; as he notices the boys and tells them to get inside before the bots catch them; and he's off to the factory as he gets hooked at the sidewalk and we see the bus has Normbots inside the bus; but the humans (all white) being dragged by meat hook along with the side while the thing zooms off. Now that is heelish to the core. So we make it to the door as Phineas looks at Perry and stammers because they might not know he's a secret agent; and Perry shrugs his shoulder and takes the fedora hat off; becoming animal Perry again. So we ring the doorbell and Phineas seems more concerned about Perry turning on him; then Linda coming to the door. Wow; Phineas is starting to get awfully paranoid now as the door opens and Linda sees them; ordering them to get inside and get the doofenalls back on before someone sees them. Linda tells then that she'll be hiding in the basement if they need her. So in this dimension; Doofensmirtz 2nd is a sexist pig. Why doesn't that surprise me? So Linda goes to the basement which Phineas calls weird and so they look around and notice that Phineas 2nd and Ferb 2nd are sitting on the sofa playing Doofenopoly which involves a spinner with all zeroes; except for one.

Phineas 2nd and Ferb 2nd are wearing the exact same outfits like the rest; only smaller, as Phineas 2nd picks up a card and it tells him to conform; which Phineas 2nd sezs; "I can do that". So what is the difference here; other than the clothing? I betcha Phineas 1st would do that without question too. Like everyone who hates this show say that he would do. Phineas and Ferb come in and greet the second dimension boys and Phineas 2nd panics like mad as he oversells it by diving to the side of the sofa in horror because he thinks he is going to be replaced. That made me laugh as Phineas tells him not to worry because they are from another dimension and have no interest in replacing them. Of course you don't Phineas; because you are pretty much the same character as Phineas 2nd; according to the old farts. Then Phineas 2nd notices Perry and hugs him right away thinking that it's Perry 2nd; and it's so emotional that both Ferbs have tears in their eyes and hankys for the occasion. See how effective non-verbal cues are guys? At least this show realizes that in the mist of all this insanity going on around them. So Phineas explains to Phineas 2nd that this is Perry 1st; but Phineas 2nd still wants to hug him anyway as he explains that he has been gone and never came back. Geez; I wonder who Phineas 2nd's version of Perry could be? I wonder....and then Candace 2nd comes in blowing them off for making noise during a day that is not Doofens Day; then she claims to see four guys; which Phineas responds five if you include Perry. HAHA! Candace 2nd blows it off as plausible deniability and walks off stage right. Wow; Candace 2nd is actually smarter than Candace 1st. That does not bold well for Candace at all as a character. So Phineas notices that Candace 2nd isn't interested in what they are doing; which confuses Phineas 2nd. Phineas explains that every summer; Candace seems hellbent in exposing everything that they do in the summer time. Phineas 2nd believes that summer was outlawed a long time ago, and Phineas calls this terrible. I agree to a certain degree that it's terrible. I mean; how would Canada Day live on without it?

Phineas 2nd then talks about summer being dangerous and compelling and asks what is it. Phineas then sits down the 2nd dimension kids and we bounce on the sofa; starting the TEDDY RUXPIN SONG OF DOOM as Ferb gets a much deeper voice as we get footage of kids and adult enjoying summer in the first dimension; which looks very classy. And then all of a sudden; Phineas and Ferb are playing guitar and drums, and start singing the opening theme song out of nowhere. YES! YES! YES! That's the kind of chaotic stuff I want to see which made the Simpsons so fun to watch. They are about to sing the "driving our sister insane" part; but they stop in midstream because Phineas 2nd is holding himself gritting his teeth and looking horrified. Ferb 2nd is just nervous; but otherwise not thrilled. So Phineas wonders if they should sing slower; and then decide to just sing the song with snapping fingers and guitar and both kids 2nd dimension start to warm up on the idea as they join in; and we get the jackhammered background of Summer in sunny letters while Phineas and Ferb swing on the swing set. We get more summer footage; which seems to be bastardized from other episodes (check the double surfboarding on the wave spot); and it ends with them dancing in front of a sunny background. Outside of playing part of the opening which was awesome; this was just there, and it took three minutes to sing what could have been said in thirty seconds. So Phineas 2nd is on the sofa saying that summer is such a blast; and really, who can argue that point? Doofensmirtz 2nd doesn't count. (Doofensmirtz 2nd: OH COME ON MR. WEAGLE!) So Phineas runs down all the great things they did for some of the last three seasons or so as that picture above the sofa just looks funny for no reason that I can think of. It looks like Linda 2nd is ready to take a piss or something. So we cut to Perry as he hears the television play music as I realize that it's the jingle for Doofensmirtz Evil News Update.

That made me laugh as Perry waddles over to the B&W television because color is bad in Doofensmirtz 2nd's world; despite seeing a million colors already. Something tells me that this dimension was planned to be in B&W; but was overruled because execs think children hate black and white, or something. That would make more sense if children hated black and white when that was the ONLY option available. So we see Doofensmirtz 2nd demanding that Perry surrender at once and he promises that he won't hurt his little friends; in which we see on the monitor that Doofensmirtz end has a camera inside the living room where they are staying. The irony of all this is: This makes perfect sense since Doofensmirtz 2nd is a monster heel; but it's bad when Monogram does it (for the 100th fight between Perry and Doofensmirtz which was actually #104; but whatever) because he's suppose to be a babyface, the side of right. Speaking of babyfaces; Perry looks at the group and then sneaks towards the curtains; and turns into Agent P. He tries to leave through the door and Phineas catches him; and this is enough for Phineas to blow him off for not trusting them to help him take down Doofensmirtz 2nd. And since Perry cannot speak; he cannot defend himself and pop the idiot ball Phineas has been running with this whole time. Phineas basically tells him not to sneak anymore; because they know his secret and they point towards the right even though the door is clearly to the left side of the house. Bad, bad logic break there guys. No self respecting guy would allow this mistake; unless you are Wang or Kennedy Cartoons then anything is possible. So Perry walks out of the house and it begins to rain while Phineas just stares a hole in Perry. Then we hear Vanessa sing a sad song for Perry as he walks away dejected and this is the only time you will hear Olivia in the original movie. Thankfully; Vanessa does appear in the deleted scenes in the DVD; so it's all good. I love this song actually; and it's too damn bad that it ended too soon. Sadly; the full song is only available via the disc for digital download I do believe.

Perry walks out of sight as Phineas feels dejected as he blows off Perry saying that he didn't think it was possible to spell platypus without us; and then walks inside. Ferb watched and claims that it is possible; but it's platyp which indicates that Ferb is being a netural observator like Doug was in Doug. Simple eh? So Ferb and Phineas exchange notes with Phineas 2nd and Ferb 2nd; talking about Isabella 2nd; which is the girl across the street. Phineas 2nd proclaims that talking to neighbours can be dangerous; which Linda 2nd agrees in the background. Phineas doesn't care and wants to meet her anyway and Phineas 2nd is concerned about the Norm Bot. So we see them practice the fine art of not being seen outside; and it fails badly because they are caught by the Normbot within ten seconds. So the Normbot demands them travel papers or get destroyed as the kids stare at him. Normbot wants to kill them; but then he simply drops on his face because we see Buford 2nd rip the wiring out of the back of the Normbot. And boy does Buford look like a legit badass; and even more so than most of the bullies in the new Disney actually. I like this guy as Phineas notices him right away. Buford 2nd is confused; as Phineas references Candace's brothers and they are going to Isabella's. Phineas 2nd asks if he is part of the resistance; and Buford 2nd proclaims that he was, but he got so good at it that he resisted them. Wow; that sounded almost bright actually. So we head back inside the robot theater room as Doofensmirtz shows off the Other Dimension-inator; but it's the second one because the other one is back at the lookoff; which is a building that Monogram owns. So Doofensmirtz 2nd does the Gruffi pose as Doofensmirtz is signalling victory as he turns it on; and the thing turns on; and then fizzles out again. Ooops. Doofensmirtz stammers like an idiot and then proclaims that the boys made modifications on the first one to make it work. Doofen 2nd is flustered because he now needs the two boys. The problem with this is: I don't recall the portal made by the first Other Dimension-inator closing; so why not use that portal and then bring in that one into the second dimension and then use it.

Somehow; this idiot plot will not be addressed to my liking as a Normbot flies in with Perry in his grasp. He is tossed onto the floor and caged like an animal. Oh wait.... Both Doofs proclaim that they got him and Doofensmirtz jinxed Doofen 2nd again; and now he owes two sodas. We got to stop jinxing this; it might make the plot go into moronic spasms. So Doofensmirtz 2nd proclaims that he lied and there is a change of plans because he needs to hunt them down and it involves hurting...and he's evil, HELLO! Ironically; the Normbots have already tried to harm Phineas & Ferb during this because Doofensmirtz 2nd knows where they are since there is a camera in the living room; otherwise, Perry wouldn't have justification to leave in spite of Phineas' protests. Second; we know why Doofensmirtz 2nd has changed his plans instead of just because. So Doofensmirtz 2nd saying that he's evil makes no sense in this case because we know that the motive for the broken promise is not because he's evil. That is good booking actually. So we head to Isabella's house which has an iron gate that Buford 2nd opens. They walk on top of the obvious trapdoor of doom and it opens and they slide into the basement with wussy bumps. Then we get a bunch of girls in shadow with ropes and they proceed to do the best bondage spots ever. They even remember to tie the knees up and it ends with them creating some kind of tiara with Phineas tied up hands to feet like a pig roasting on an open flame (sans apple) and then the spotlight is on; and we see...wait for it...Isabella in army gear complete with a belt of five bullets on the side and she does the most badass version of her catchphrase ever. MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Not only are the heels better in this world; so are most of the female babyfaces despite being in the most sexist world imaginable. This has to be a rib on someone. So yeah; the girls who tied up the kids are the 2nd Dimension version of the Fireside Girls; which is called the Firestorm Girls. Yeah; nothing screams badass like Isabella in that uniform, even though the original Isabella was great too.

Isabella 2nd has no clue who they are; until Buford 2nd talks and she wants to know why he's back since he resisted them. Buford 2nd states that he was helping the brothers cross the street. Isabella 2nd is confused about two sets of brothers and Phineas points out that they are from another dimension and they are trying to get back. That is enough for Isabella 2nd to order the Firestorm Girls to release them and they reverse the ropes (which appear to be skipping rope actually) and they are untied which ends with a spotlight and a cheerleading spot involving Buford 2nd at the top; which should be impossible; but no one cares about continuity in this show anymore. At least this one is "minor". See what I did there? Only Holly 2nd has a grin on her face; like she's eating poop for no reason. And thankfully; reason pervails because they collapse under the weight. Isabella 2nd opens up a sliding door which leads into her secret lab which despite all the manly colors she is wearing; her lab is still pink and purple colored. That was amusing as she wants to know why they would come here and Phineas 2nd proclaims that they didn't mean to come here; and their device is broken and wonder if there is a way to fix it. I see Phineas 2nd has finally gotten over his pet issues and we can move on with the storyline somehow. We see a ragged chair in the middle as Isabella 2nd talks to someone named Doctor Baljeet. At least there is somehow who I don't have to say "Baljeet 2nd" because it is all so goofy to say anyway; but I'm forced to because none of the 2nd dimension characters have different names outside of Doctor Baljeet. He turns around and man; he has not aged well at all; and he gets pissy when he isn't addressed as Doctor Baljeet thus has Rebecca's early gimmick of hating her pet name in reverse as he hates his real name. So we go into this charming promo and it's easier to copy the dialog from Phineas Wikia then to type it on the captions because all Baljeet does early on is type in front of the computer which is purple/pink. Somehow; I like that feminine touch here, which I wasn't too impressed with Isabella 1st. So here's the exchange, love it or leave it...

Doctor Baljeet: Were you not listening? Here is the crux of your problem. Think of the universe and all of the many dimensions as circular. The energy flows between the dimensions like this, clockwise. Say that this is your dimension, and this is our dimension, you traveled with the flow of energy, so going clockwise would be easy. Going counterclockwise would take 8 million gigawatts of energy, overloading the local power grid. I have prepared a little song to help illustrate my point, (he plays an accordion. Song: Baljeet Explanation) ♪ If you travel through dimensions, going clockwise makes it easy, going counter-clockwise would take 8 million gigawatt's of energy, overloading the local power grid! ♪ (pauses) I know, it needs a chorus. Anyway, without 8 million gigawatts, you would have to go clockwise, the long way around. Theoretically, you would get home, but there is no telling how many dimensions you would have to go through.

HAHA! Nice to see that even the writers think this whole "do a three minute song just for thirty seconds of explaination" thing is bullcrap. Listen; I don't mind songs, if they are funny, or character development songs, or emotional songs that have meaning beyond the whacky, goofy stuff in the show. However; the "three minutes of singing to explain thirty seconds of dialogue" is insulting the audience and only meant to waste time. Time is MONEY, MONEY, YEAH, YEAH. I don't want to waste time on pointless songs because they waste my money. I did pay at least $20 for this DVD; so I would like to say that it's money well spent, but it's harder to do that with stuff like this. Even better is we see the power grid exploding in a nuclear explosion in still shots. Despite all the technology; they couldn't afford stock footage of a nuclear explosion; which I'm sure there is at least one piece of stock footage that is in color. It being in HD; not so much though. Then I realize that the first dimension is to the left and the second one is to the right; so this makes sense to go the short way; and needs the power. I almost thought Doctor Baljeet was ribbing me for a second there; it was I who fooled myself on this. Phineas then asks if it's possible to get that power; and Doctor Baljeet then wants to defer to his leader. And then we hear a really deep voice as we pan over to a Arnold like figure in fatigues in shadow along with a shadow of Candace, and then it just occured to me that the Arnold like figure is made of parsnip; which Candace calls a topiary and demands answers to this outrage. In a logic break; Candace 2nd is in black burgler gear blowing off the 2nd dimension brothers (which Phineas 2nd is surprised that she's the leader of the resistance) as she'll deal with them later. The logic break is that despite the topiary still being in the room; Candace 2nd stop selling her deep voice and never sold the itching and redness. She is also pissed off at Phineas because she has been trying to protect his brothers; but now their faces are all over Doofen news. Geez; I wonder if Phineas is having second thoughts about him blowing off Perry. I mean; wouldn't that be a good reason to bail on them?

So Phineas tells Candace 2nd (who seems to no sell allergies like MADDDD~!) that he is trying to get back home and Phineas explains that it's quantum physics which is kind of accurate. Doctor Baljeet explains that they need eight gigawatts to go counterclockwise for inter-dimensional travel. Candace 2nd then starts being large and in charge and orders Isabella 2nd to redirect the power and she salutes Candace 2nd and leaves. Gretchen 2nd is in front of the computer monitoring the Doofen channel as she doesn't want to raise any alarms at this point; which should be pointless since their mugs were splattered all over the channel anyway. Candace 2nd then orders Buford 2nd to keep resisting and Buford 2nd no sells; but Candace 2nd turns around and starts selling the deep voice; ordering the topiary to be removed; and we see Katie 2nd and Ginger 2nd grabbing the topiary and lifting it away from the scene. Candace 2nd coughs and stops selling about two seconds later; thanking the girls. Pfft; whatever. So we head back to the STOCK FOOTAGE OF DOOM and into the backyard as Candace starts chanting for God....ERRRRR....the mysterious force to reveal itself; and there is nothing...AND THE ROCK SEZS NOTHING. I guess even God believes that Candace is full of crap when she sezs that she is only trying to protect her brothers from her evil inventions; which Stacey has the Gruffi pose on full blast. No one is buying this Candace, no one. Even though this would give motive to why Candace wants to bust her brothers; but at this point, no one cares anymore. Stacey is about to blow this all off as absurd and then a portal opens and they scream badly and hide behind the tree calling it the mysterious force. So much for building a shrine to it. Come on you two! Even God has to sleep for eight hours every year and you woke him up! Idiots! Anyhow; we go to the other side and see that the remote control device is connected to a tripod and is wired to an octopus plug containing at least eight cords. One for each million gigawatt of power I guess.

So we see it connected to a much bigger machine as Ferb gives the thumbs up in the back while Doctor Baljeet has the thing connected. Candace and Stacey look shocked as they stare at the portal; and Phineas is so happy that he even asks where Perry is and then stops and looks down because he was the one who drove him away, even though Perry had already decided to leave on his own accord to fight Doofensmirtz 2nd. So we see the B&W monitor with the jingle of Doofensmirtz Evil News Update; which I cannot stop giggling at for some reason. So we see a Normbot reading a prepared statement on a piece of paper; which is funny in itself considering who voices Norm normally. Normbot announces the capture of Perry 1st by Doofensmirtzs 2nd which shows him with a criminal board; height chart and pumping his fist almost like black power. I say almost because the black power symbol is to pump your fist over your head and forward. See the Nation of Domination in the WWE in 1997; and you'll get an idea of what I am talking about. Perry P's criminal number is 631D888 by the way; which has no meaning that I can think off. I was hoping that they would use the numbering system that the Beagle Boys used in Ducktales, which would have some meaning instead of being random. So it's 3:30 and their broadcast day ends with a end signal from the 1950's only with Doofen 2nd's fugly mug in the middle which yells go to bed before signing off. That was funny at least. And yes; Perry is supposed to soon be a cyborg if Doofensmirtz 2nd gets his way. So then we cut back inside the lab with the portal as we then get another really good exchange in my view...

Phineas: We've got to save him!
Candace (2nd Dimension): Oh no, too risky. You two have to get back to your dimension.
Phineas: We're not going anywhere without our platypus!
Buford (2nd Dimension): I thought you said he was just using you as a cover?
Phineas: I know what I said, I was hurt. But even if it was all an act, he's still a part of this family, and we're not leaving without him.
Baljeet (2nd Dimension): I may never be able to open this again.
Phineas: It doesn't matter, we're going back for him.
Candace (2nd Dimension): Well then, you're on your own.
Phineas: Fine, just tell us where Doofenshmirtz keeps his prisoners.
Phineas (2nd Dimension): We have to help them!
Candace (2nd Dimension): No we don't.
Phineas (2nd Dimension): Yes we do, remember how we felt when OUR Perry disappeared? (2nd Dimension Candace looks at their sad faces)
Candace (2nd Dimension): Oh criminy, I must be crazy. Alright, we can get there through the tunnels.
Phineas (2nd Dimension): Yes!
Candace (2nd Dimension): Let's suit up, people!

Now this was so heartwarming for me even though Candace 2nd sort of ruins the effect by being flustered at the point of seeing their sad faces. It feels almost real to me as a person who knows that Phineas made a mistake even though he does have some justification for his feeling being hurt; and the fact that Phineas admitted to said mistake really makes this scene feel better in hindsight and I can overlook the flaw of Phineas overkilling his anger to the point of jealousy in this movie. This is as close to TaleSpin as new Disney is going to get in terms of pathos and emotion; so I'm fine with it because it's different from the norm in this series and in new Disney in general. Yeah; I have no beef with this and I hope they continue to pour it on even though I know that it has to turn into a goofy comedy match again at some point in time. Speaking of which; we see Candace and Stacey behind the tree and Candace decides that she won't stand for God pushing her back and she is going to run through the portal; and I guess bust her brothers. Candace runs in and goes through the portal as Doctor Baljeet points out that the window is very unstable and the slightest touch could cause it to collapse. And wouldn't you know it, it does just after Candace pratfalls on her face right in front of Phineas. Phineas greets Candace anyway as Candace gets up and is about to say that they are so busted; but she gets confused because there are four boys in the scene who look like Phineas & Ferb. Phineas explains the 2nd boys while Candace asks about the mysterious force; which Phineas has no clue what she is talking about. What a shock that is?! Candace then proclaims that Isabella 2nd suddenly looks fashionable which Isabella 2nd gets all mean because she was insulted. I was hoping for Isabella 2nd to kick Candace's ass on camera; but BS&P RULEZ you know! So Candace finally asks what is going on and Phineas drags Candace away because there are a million questions from her; but no time to answer them because Perry is going to be turned into a cyborg. Yeah; Phineas has completely forgotton about Perry's liability in this whole thing as Candace sees Candace 2nd and loves the way she dresses. I'm also sure she would love the fact that she can shrug off illnesses within ten seconds of suffering from them too.

So Phineas 2nd & Ferb 2nd want to join in; but Candace 2nd refuses to do so and that's a direct order. And we'll never see them again. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What? So we head into a mine shaft in mining cars as Candace is in the middle between Phineas, Ferb, Isabella 2nd and Candace 2nd and Buford. Doesn't leave much wiggle room for Candace 1st, doesn't it. So Candace spends most of this time confused on the difference between Perry 1st and Perry 2nd; as Phineas concedes that he wishes that he didn't throw away the pamplet after all. I just love it when they actually build up a scene properly as Candace asks why they are in mine cars; as Isabella 2nd explains that this will get them as far as the entrance to Doofensmirtz 2nd's lair. Candace shows a poorly drawn blueprint of the building as they will go through the vents and the detainment center is in level four; but the snack bar is at level 5 according to Buford 2nd which indicates that he stole the map first. Candace glares at Buford 2nd and Buford 2nd recoils on cue. Heh. Candace 2nd is flustered as she puts away the map; and Buford 2nd whisper yells that he wants some nachos, and sadly Candace 2nd must be hard of hearing because I can clearly hear him say it. So 2nd Dimension Candace leaps up the cars and uses a Bo staff to hit a turnstile, the tracks move, and the go down another route, 2nd Dimension Candace sits near Candace 1st.We exchange notes on Johnson Jeremy and the conversation goes like this and this is another good moment in a series of them...

Candace: So if there's another me, and another them, then there must also be another Jeremy Johnson here, right?
Candace (2nd Dimension): Huh? Oh yeah, Johnson Jeremy, leads a three-man strike team on the north side. Good soldier.
Candace: Good soldier? That's all you think of him? Don't you think he's dreamy, or cool, or even cute? Tell me at least you think he's cute!
Candace (2nd Dimension): Cute doesn't win the war, kid.
Candace: Oh... well I guess, but what do you guys do around here for, you know, fun?
Candace (2nd Dimension): Look, Candace is it? No offense, but fun isn't really on my agenda. You know, since Doofenshmirtz took over the Tri-State Area, even though I was a little girl, i've been focused on one thing, and one thing only, he's going down, down, down...
Candace: Down, I know, but what about BFF's, or slumber parties, or busting your little brothers?
Candace (2nd Dimension): Busting my brothers? I've spent every day of my life trying to protect my little brothers. I had to grow up pretty quick to make sure they didn't have to.
Candace: Gee, you make growing up sound like it's a bad thing.
Candace (2nd Dimension): It is what it is, I'll do whatever I have to do to protect the ones I love.

I am so loving Candace 2nd; and so are Phineas 2nd and Ferb 2nd because they appear behind her thanking her for her support of them. HAHA! This is the kind of thing I expected all along from Candace 1st after the gimmick ran it's course, but it never happened because "KIDZ ART DUM~!" or some bullcrap excuse execs come out. Candace 2nd demands answers to this outrage and Phineas 2nd gleefully sums up the reason for me. Candace 2nd is flustered as Isabella 2nd tells us that the target is sighted which causes Candace 2nd to yell at Phineas 2nd to not move. She leaps into the forward car and uses her staff to jam the wheels just as they reach an entry way which they do a MAN-SIZED bump against the bumper; which should instantly give them away, they all get out. Candace 2nd then changes her plans and she proclaims that this is as far as they go; which causes Phineas 2nd to protest this outrage; but Candace 2nd stands her ground because she is taking the 2nd boys home. Phineas 2nd tries to explain that she wants to help; but Candace 2nd cuts him off because this isn't their fight; it's the first dimension guys' fight, and it shouldn't be anyone's fight as she walks off. Remember that for the next scene because you'll see why this is so perfect. 2nd Dimension Phineas and 2nd Dimension Ferb get into the cars and she pushes it back. 2nd Dimension Isabella and 2nd Dimension Buford follow the others into the doorway. I guess Isabella 2nd and Buford 2nd are going against orders since Candace didn't want them involved; but whatever. So it's pitch black in there and we hear Doofensmirtz's voice just after Buford proclaims that it isn't supposed to be this dark which confuses Candace, and then the spotlight is on and they are surrounded by Normbots; as Doofensmirtz calls it a trap. We then see Perry come in with Doofensmirtz 2nd on a dog leash as Doofensmirtz pretty much mocks them for being stupid. Geez; doesn't this make Candace 2nd look like a genius? Candace's already low stock is falling fast in terms of creditability.

Phineas then notices Perry and stammers like an idiot trying to claim that he was here to rescue him. Phineas wiki is wrong because Candace 2nd is gone; and it's just Candace involved in this trap. Yeah; they basically screwed up this plan. Doofensmirtz 2nd yanks on Perry's chain literally as he states that he has won and that the hour of doom is here for Perry. He then checks his watch and complains about it being so old fashioned that it doesn't have numbers on it. So he states that it is between 3:30 and 4:00 Eastern Standard Time. Perry eyes light up; and he invokes the hologram watch of doom to show a hologram of Monogram taking a shower; which isn't hideous at all since there are no naughty parts; but it's enough to make the heels oversell pain and suffering. Monogram blows off Perry for disturbing his shower which is so ironic in hindsight considering that he had no problem violating the privacy of Doofensmirtz. Perry flashes the watch on everyone except the babyface; and the babyfaces all escape out of the basement; and somehow, Candace 2nd is back to push the button which shuts the door. Wait; I thought Candace 2nd left with P&F 2nd? That makes no sense. She blows off this mission and everyone gets aboard the mine cars again. The Normbots melt the doors as Isabella 2nd starts the engines and we go backwards now. So we chase as Candace 2nd yells at P&F 2nd to keep their heads down and remember their training; which the two 2nd boys claim that they weren't trained. So Candace 2nd yells at them to keep their heads down and that's their training. Well; that was pretty direct. Candace 2nd proclaims that this will be close as the Normbots draw closer; and it's time for rust bucket dancing. Also known as Candace 2nd smashing the heads off of the Normbots. Yeah; I so love Candace 2nd more than the original Candace. Phineas is surprised by these skills of Candace 2nd and Candace is apparent in these proceedings. See what I did there? 2nd Dimension Candace sinks her staff into the neck of one bot. She uses it to vault and hit another, then rips the head off the first bot. 2nd Dimension Buford stares wide eyed. Buford 2nd is charmed by this; and so in love with Candace 2nd which causes Isabella 2nd to turn around asking what and Buford 2nd denies it like a heel.

So Perry pulls the security collar from his neck as Candace 2nd proclaims that they should be in the clear if they make it to the north tunnel before the Normbots do, because she can trip the security switch. She orders Isabella 2nd to give more throttle and Isabella 2nd tells us that they are going the fastest they can go. Candace 2nd bails claiming that this is going to get hairy. Perry wields his collar and chain as a weapon, Phineas picks up a wrench and Ferb takes off his shoes and ties the laces together to make nun-chucks. That was neat as P&F 2nd do nothing but look at Candace 2nd hopping to the front of the mine cars. Isabella 2nd asks if they can make it at these speeds and Candace 2nd gets the staff at the ready stating that they are going to find out. So; she uses her staff to hit the turnstile, they swerve around the left fork in the tracks and almost overturn in the process. Perry wraps his chain around one of the Normbots' arms and attaches the collar to a sign, causing the chain to rip the arm off. It lands in the car where 2nd Dimension Buford and Candace are, and its laser fires, setting fire to it; they back up. Buford 2nd panics and Candace screams as usual as they go through a tunnel and head to an entryway which Candace 2nd proclaims that they should be safe if they hold off about five Normbots. Then we get a great logic break: The bots are hit with lasers, she looks and sees Phineas, Ferb, and Perry using the robot arm as a laser cannon. This is the same robot arm that was in the middle of the mine car being set on fire. This makes no sense at all; but it looks intentional because Phineas 2nd asks if they could do that and Candace 2nd yells at them....no. Phineas 2nd ducks back down and here comes Platyborg flying in; his hands turn to lasers and he fires, hitting two of the wheels. The car skids causing Phineas to sway; which causes the Normbot arm to fly from his hands and fall into the abyss below. Bummer man! Isabella 2nd proclaims that they are slowing down as Candace 2nd yells at her to keep it on the floor; but there is no dice because there is too much track and she isn't sure they are going to make it.

So Candace 2nd orders everyone to the front row so she can dislodge the cars; but there are flames shoot up, blocking Candace, Perry, Phineas, and Ferb's only way to the front of the minecars. Isabella 2nd complains about the engines overheating which causes Candace 2nd to look at Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and Perry, then to 2nd Dimension Phineas and 2nd Dimension Ferb and then she turns around and apologizes because the 1st troops are on their own. That apology sounded so hallow; yet sounds so fitting for her. She hits the lock with her staff, causing the cars to dislodge; as the minecar of P&F/Candace slows to a crawl, leaving them at the mercy of the Normbots. She opens the doorway as they go in and it seals up again. Phineas 2nd protests this outrage, which makes sense in a way, but Candace 2nd blows him off because her job is to protect her brothers. Plus; she can never let them get captured and this is a tough decision adults must do. This sounds like a Warrior Mommy talking, but we have no way to put out the fire, so what can you do. Phineas 2nd tries to explain that she abandoned them, but he gets cut off because that is the end of the discussion. I really love this movie now because, it feels like a TaleSpin episode and you know how much I love that show. Phineas 2nd and Ferb 2nd can only feel bad for their first counterparts. So we head back to the backyard in the first dimension as Stacey is setting up a large wedding cake like table, and is filling it up with pots of flowers, fruit bowls and pictures of Phineas, Ferb, and Candace. Oh; and Mr. Miggins has been added to the mix. The basic guise of this is that Stacey is stammering because she didn't believe in the mysterious force and thus is hoping that it would spare her friend and the brothers of said friend by trying to believe in it. That sounds and looks as awkward as Stacey herself admitted was awkward. Yeah; why wasn't this scene deleted and replaced with Vanessa mocking Doofensmirtz for playing with a wooden dummy? That one was a lot funnier than this one.

So we head back to Doofensmirtz 2nd Tower and back to the robot theater of doom as dozens of Normbots are on hand to watch Doofensmirtz 2nd try to get Phineas and Ferb to talk as they are propped up by two Normbots. Doofen 2nd proclaims that they have no choice but to fix the Other-dimension-inator. Phineas refuses to fix the machine and only sezs no. Candace interrupts on this as she is getting the Perry as Agent P stuff; but asks who is Doofensmirtz 2nd. We do the awkward slience moment; and then they ignore her as Phineas refuses some more for fun. Doofensmirtz 2nd proclaims that he would fix it himself; but the original Doofensmirtz is an idiot which offends the first Doofensmirtz. Phineas no sells still as Doofensmirtz proclaims that Phineas has forced his hand; and he hides it for a few second. It return with a dog sockpuppet saying "Fix The Machine". BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! If this doesn't convince Phineas to fix the damn machine, then Doofensmirtz 2nd is going to be talking to BS&P about not allowing tickle torture. Even tickling is barred by the UN. That F'N sucks! Doofen 2nd is confused because a puppet telling him what to do always works; which Phineas blows off. We go on and on for a while as Doofensmirtz is staring at the inator. Doofen 2nd of course reveals his whole plan of going to the first dimension and enslaving his loved ones. Then Phineas makes an unintentional mistake by asking why would he fix something that will bring about their own self-destruction; which is funny in itself because that is exactly what he did when he fixed the first dimension Other-dimension-inator. But; this gives Doofensmirtz the lightbulb of bloody clairty because once again, he rewired everything back to the self-destruct button again. And then Doofensmirtz rewires it according to how Phineas & Ferb showed him earlier in the movie. Phineas and Ferb are the dumbest characters in this movie which should bring some sympathy to Candace; but it doesn't. So Doofensmirtz 2nd calls Phineas redundant; but is looking at Doofensmirtz anyway, so I smell something going on here.

So Doofensmirtz orders everyone to be sent to their doom because BS&P RULEZ~! In a show that allows the use of the word death and kill; why would you say doom unless there was a good reason in storyline to send them to their doom? It may sound cool; but it's not accurate! Perry 2nd is confused about Candace and Agent P; but Doofen 2nd sentences them to death too. Oh; and the moment Doofensmirtz got the machine work; it created a portal as Doofen 2nd chants doom about four times and then Doofensmirtz chimes in saying doom; calls a jinx, and that means Doofen 2nd owes him three soda. This better play into the finish; or I will be so disappointed. Now I know what is going to happen next: Doofensmirtz 2nd basically proclaims that this is three strikes, Doofensmirtz is out and Doofensmirtz 2nd turns on Doofensmirtz 1st and sends him to his doom because he is so annoying. Damn; I am so good. Doofensmirtz protest this outrage but then the long green arm shows up with the dog sockpuppet squealing doom. HAHA! Doofensmirtz goes into the "If I had x everytime that happened" promo; it would be two nickels which is weird since it happened twice. I'm almost certain it did now. So we fade to black and then return at the beginning of the movie only this time we get monitors of Doofensmirtz 2nd on the walls and the platform reminds me of the same platform in That Sinking Feeling from Darkwing Duck. So I don't need to tell you what is going on other than we hear Doofensmirtz 2nd mocking and taunting them which wasn't in the beginning of the footage; so they screwed up the media res thing like in Darkwing Duck. Anyhow; Candace calls adulthood a three and Doofensmirtz seems to not be too upset about this. So Doofensmirtz 2nd reveals the monster in the cage; as Goozim and the death trap is to Poke Goozim with a stick. The pathway retracts in order to prevent escape of course; and we discover that his second favorite game is backgammon, and is loving it. This is one sadistic backgammon player!

Doofensmirtz drags everyone towards Doofensmirtz 2nd pleading for mercy and wanting to be useful because since he is me then he can have a kidney transplant; which is countered with Doofensmirtz 2nd saying doom because you can never say die in this show despite the fact that you can say die, kill and death on this show. Because when death is actually involved then BS&P gets all pissy. It makes no sense because if the word is the problem, then it would be a problem saying it at any time in any context. Basically; it's okay to say it in the wrong context, but not if it's in the right context of the situation. That is so ass-backwards that it isn't funny. Yes; TaleSpin sometimes does that; but they also use the words in the correct context (Drop Dead from Jumping The Guns is a good example of this). Doofensmirtz channels Howard Huge as several Normbots poke the Goozim with spears. It roars, blowing their hair back. Another bot turns a crank, opening the cage. Doofensmirtz 2nd goes all gleeful at this cranking bit as Goozim roars again as I will give the Normbots credit for using spears and forks to poke the damn hairy Goozim monster. So a claw springs forward and the kids all jump back. So we repeat the promo Phineas cut from the beginning and that is screwed up because he doesn't finish it. Doofensmirtz on the other hand nailed his promo perfectly; as we cut to Ferb saying deja vu. Memo to writers: If you are going to do media res; then it have to make the dialog match at the beginning match with the end of the media res segment. It doesn't here. You know better than that and there's no way that the kids are going to change the channel now because most of this movie has been great so far; so why do it? Anyhow; Perry is biting on the chains for a while which does them no good and then a Normbot passes by. So here's what happens next...

Phineas: Hey, Perry. Check out that guard! (we see a ring of keys on a hook on his back) The keys! (Perry looks down at the keyhole on his collar and moves his cuff to reveal the watch. He activates the electro-magnet and fires, pulling the keys to them.) Cool! (see the Normbot is also being pulled to them) Ah! Look out! (It hits into them, and flies erratically. Ferb climbs on its back and opens a panel, which hits Doofenshmirtz on the head.)
Doofenshmirtz: Ow! Is this the plan? (they fly into the air and over the lava, he screams) Please tell me this isn't the plan! (Ferb works with the Normbot's wiring)
Normbot: You are tampering with the property of... (he sparks and turns to the Norm head) Let's make omelets! (It flies and hits into two Normbots. The Goozim grabs them and shreds them. Doofenshmirtz screams as they fly; he hits the head of the Normbot turning the crank, knocking it off.)
Doofenshmirtz: Ow! Can you get a little more lift on this thing? I think I just bruised a kidney.
Normbot: My bicycle is missing! (The Normbots smash into each other, destroying them. They fall onto the top of the cage, the Goozim looks up. The headless Normbot holding the crank collapses, the crank spins and shuts the cage.)
All: Yay! (the door then breaks off and falls down) Awww. (The Goozim wedges itself out of the cage in a cute spot with the babyfaces plus pharmacist bouncing on the fur top. It grabs the door in its teeth and throws it.)
Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension): Ha, ha! Yes! Go, Goozim!

Got all that? Yeah; that was a pretty neat sequence and the CGI was pretty good here too. Then a Normbot comes in from the screen with pink oven gloves and a pink apron with a heart in the front carrying one chocolate chip muffin as it states that it's muffin time. HA! Doofensmirtz 2nd turns around which allows Perry looks wide eyed and frantically tries to unlock his chains. The Goozim roars, they scream and tumble together. The keys drop, landing on the bottom of the cage. Perry looks, he then looks up and points to the edge of the cage. He begins to climb down the top of the cage; which Phineas thinks he knows where it is going. The Goozim stalks them slowly onto the cage as it looks like a square version of Big Bird's so called imaginary friend from Seasame Street. Doofensmirtz admits that he flunked jungle gym in grade school which somehow makes sense for some unknown reason. So Perry tries to get to the keys while Candace is blowing off the 2nd dimension and she can sod off on that opinion. The Goozim roars and swipes. He yells and falls, taking the others with him. Perry grabs the bar, the keys shake and fall, but Candace accidentally catches them. Perry holds on as Doofenshmirtz sees the keys and wants Candace to give him the keys to unlock himself. Candace looks at him and blows him off as Doofensmirtz has to look down and then catches himself and admits that he'll get it done later. Perry struggles to hang on (as he is trying to life the combined weight of the babyface which is like Kit trying to hang on while Baloo is just hanging around), the Goozim roars. We cut back to 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz, eating a muffin, turns back and sees that the babyface have the key back. He spits out the muffin and demands more guards just as Normbot Muffin Robot returns with a tray filled with muffin cutting the same promo; which causes Doofensmirtz 2nd to throw the muffin back in his face, calling him broken. Don't you mean a broken record? Never mind as about a dozen Normbots fly in from the door while Goozim roars and swipes at the babyfaces for fun.

Phineas gulps, he hears a rumbling noise, he looks and sees one of the large lawn gnomes move. It hits the screen of Doofensmirtz 2nd, causing cracks, we see 2nd Dimension Candace is behind it, pushing with her feet. I called that one about five minutes before it happened, I should note. The gnome tips over and she rides it, she unhooks two devices from her belt. One fires a grappler, which ties onto a bar on the ceiling, the other she places on the back of the gnome. It shoots a grapple which shoots and hooks onto the front of the gnome, she hooks the two together and the gnome swings, smashing into the Normbots. Phineas is cheering her as Candace 2nd throws Phineas the green remote device to him as 24 more Normbot come in from the door. Phineas grabs the remote and starts to get wide-eyed looking down at the lava. Then he turns around and looks at Perry struggling; and he orders Perry to let go. Candace starts to panic and yells at Perry to not let go. Phineas counters by yelling at Perry to trust him; as Perry is also hearing Candace mangle the word lava. It's two syllables; not two words Candace. It might sound cool; but it's not accurate. That is like saying the verb play is an adjective. Phineas yells at Perry to trust him again and here's what happens next: Perry looks down, he lets go and they fall. The Normbots crash into each other, the Goozim roars and dives after them. Phineas aims the remote and opens a portal in the lava. They fall in and the Goozim squeezes in after them. They land in the pinkish jungle of the other dimension and bounce around on the plants. They land on the ground and the Goozim lands, now compressed into a circular shape. He growls, but then sees his body, he whimpers and slinks off because he has no legs to spring on anymore. Great spot there. Candace smirks and holds up the keys. We head back to the 2nd dimension as Doofensmirtz is pissed amist the chaos ordering the Normbots to go after them; along with Candace 2nd, whom he calls a screaming banshee. I am certain he is confusing her with Candace 1st; who does legit scream. The Normbots go after her...

So we head back to the purple jungle of doom as Perry unlocks everyone out of the chains and Doofensmirtz actually thanks Perry for freeing him. Yeah; that was interesting to say the least. So then we see laser fire which the babyfaces dodge and here come the Norm robots coming through the portal of doom. Normbot #2 does make me laugh by saying that he uses violence to cover up his insecurities; as Phineas shoots at the portal again and it closes; causing the Normbots to fall into the magma and die. Normbot #x does die good on the way as he wants a glass of lemonade. That made me laugh as two Normbots have caught Candace 2nd as Normbot #x+1 states that the portal is closed. Doofensmirtz 2nd channel Howard Huge and that puts the jinx count at four sodas now, although that is moot at this point. Then he shrugs and it's time to invade the first dimension as he leaves with the Normbots towing Candace 2nd. Doofensmirtz 2nd wants a lot of muffins; which Normbot Muffin Robot Guy follows him saying that this is not muffin time. Mind up your mind on this guys! I hate this kind of indecision; it's only good in weightlifting. So we head into the lush purple jungle as the Scooby Doo Chase Sequence the Normbot edition ensues as they dodge laser fire. Phineas shoots a portal with the device and it opens as they are going clockwise this time which means they must go through millions of realities. You know what would make this complete? Hippie music. And wouldn't you know it; that is the TEDDY RUXPIN SONG OF DOOM. So they go through worlds with giants, bathtub with a giant rubber duckie with the one eyed Monsters Inc. reject (If only Disney got CTW with Henson Productions; that would have been Ernie in the bathtub) eating the Normbots while the portal creates a whirlpool into jumping on the planets ala the finish in Planet Of The Capes in Darkwing Duck. Doofensmirtz gets meteored in the back and his coat is now on fire. In space with no air. Never mind; it's not worth explaining how stupid this is. Then we go through a subway and see a zebra reading a newspaper saying that Kevin has won the election. I swear to god that this was a rib on Fanboy & Chum Chum's random humor.

Then we finally get the last appearance of my favorite giggle inducing prop in the show; which is the giant floating baby head which there are a half dozen of them! I guess this is their dimension which begs the question: How did they get on Earth? Sadly; none of them cuddle up to Candace, so I'm disappointed. So we are in a chandlier in a famous restaurant over a table of a couple in formal dinner wear. Then it's ducks in pink shorts and pink ties; wearing hats that double as whips. I am not joking about that spot; that is exactly what they look like. So there is more running through various random crap as the music stutters for no reason; and then we end the song with the babyfaces running in a green background with eyes looking on them. The eyes of filler music are looking at thee! So we head back to Danville Park BEFORE HAPPY HOUR (sunset) as Buford, Isabella and Baljeet are still at the park. Buford is still sitting on the park bench asking Baljeet for a Dostoyevsky in exchange with two Kafkas, which Baljeet blows off as a waste of time. OH SNAP! The bully got stood up in a card trading game. Buford 2nd is still much better than Buford 1st by the way. So the portal opens and out comes Phineas, Ferb, Perry, Candace and Doofensmirtz which surprises Isabella, Baljeet and Buford. Phineas wonders if they are home and Isabella pretty much confirms that they are home. So we cut to Doofensmirtz's Evil Incorporated as the roof of the building is opened by Doofensmirtz 2nd. Wait; so he wraped to this building even though the 2nd Other-dimension-inator was in his robot theater; despite the fact that he could have simply went downstairs to where Monogram 2nd is and use that portal because there was no indication that the portal from the first Other-dimension-inator. Am I missing something here? Because my brain is frying on this logic break. So Doofensmirtz is playing I Spy with his one good eye and this is a tri-state area that is one dictator short of a dictatorship. So we discover that the 2nd Other Dimension-inator has been moved to inside the lab. What?

So it gets raises onto a platform into the sky as Doofensmirtz 2nd goes on and on about ruling two Tri-state areas. HA HA HA! Which is a six state area. Even this heel thinks way too small. So the inator fires a portal and we head back to the robot theater as the Normbots all go through the portal as it's time to rule the Sex-State area. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! POW! OUCH! Ummmmm....So we head back to the park as Baljeet demands answers as to why Perry is wearing a fedora. Phineas proclaims that there is no time and they need to stop an evil dictator from....and then they see about 100 Normbots coming out of the portal at Doofensmirtz's Evil Incorporated; and Candace calls this too late. So we head to the streets of Danville as we zoom in on a male with brown hair wearing a brown sweater and jeans talking to what looks like a knockoff of Daphne from Scooby Doo. Apparently; some female employee has control the boss so much that she can act like a jerk because the Daphne knockoff proclaims that they will never fire her. Then we get the flash of light and the man turns around and panics. The denizens all back up and starts to run away like scalded dogs. One brown haired man with a nasty combover has his hair whipped to the side and he concedes that he should have just shaved the damn thing. Then we go to the sky shot with the Normbots chasing the denizens of Danville; and then we hear one of the Normbots ordering all vehicles to stop as he lifts an orange bar and throws it right into the brick wall of a building. It crashes into brick wall and the dude driving it comes out; and sezs that he's all right, it's only a rental. That is insulting. Not because he acted like a psychopath in an incident that he would have been seriously injured or killed in any other universe; but he treated the car like it was no big deal to him despite the fact that it is not his to begin with. I'm a sadist and a slimebag! So then a tourbus arrives with a rock band and I just realized that this is the debut of the Love Händel tour bus!

The bus drives through the streets, the lead singer (wearing a red suit looking like Dan Pomvenmire at his nuttiest.) honks the horn, a Normbot blasts the bus, it flips on its side, they open the doors and look out. I discover that his name is Danny and he is pissed off because it reminds him of a riot in Albuquerque in 1993. Sherman ducks the laser in response who is his drummer I guess. He looks like Jeff Swampy Marsh at his nuttiest and he is supposed to be voiced by Steve Zahn, but he doesn't even speak here, so no tribute for you sir. Danny is voiced by Jaret Reddick. Jaret is basically a member of Bowling With Soup which is the inhouse band that does the theme song of Phineas & Ferb. He started his career doing sountrack for 100 Girls in 2000. Many of the songs outside Phineas & Ferb are not suitable for children by the way; but also did music for Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Generations for Sega. Phineas & Ferb is his DTVA debut and only appearance. Bowling For Soup Farewell UK Tour is his most recent credit. He has 4 acting credits, 8 Self credits, and 18 soundtrack credits to his resume. Cut to another shot of the park as Phineas talks about hoping Candace 2nd being here since she took out 30 Normbots at a time. We then pan over to Perry with the hologram watch on showing the image of Major Monogram and he informs Agent P of the robots overruning the city a good three minutes too late. So he tells Perry to go to DEI and stop him; and then Phineas shows up and salutes Perry and Monogram. And Monogram ignores the fact that their cover is blown and tells them to go home because it's not safe. Phineas tries to state with all due respect; that they want to help Perry like a team. Monogram calls it too dangerous and their insurance won't cover it anyway; so he wants Perry to tell them. Perry teases turning on Monogram; but then rips the collar off of his neck (containing the pictures of him and the boys as per the beginning of the movie), salutes them and then runs off stage left. So yes folks; Perry ditched the boys again and he figured out on his own that he is going to be relocated after this is over since he already ripped off the collar.

Now; this is the point where even I would be angry at Perry for ditching me three times in the last 24 hours because Perry cannot trust them (or more to the point; Monogram is cheaper than Scrooge McDuck); but they shrug their shoulders and walk off wondering where Doofensmirtz is. So then we head to Doofensmirtz's Evil Inc. on the ground floor as Doofensmirtz arrives at the door. Doofensmirtz frisks himself; but his keys are not there for some reason. In a shock; there is no jackhammered photo of the keys being somewhere to force the point. Lovely. So he pulls on the door and it's clearly locked; because it won't open. So he goes to the intercom and pushes the button....and then we get this charming exchange:

Old Woman: Hello?
Doofenshmirtz: Hello, Mrs. Thompson. It's me, Heinz. I think I left my keys in the other dimension. Can you buzz me in?
Mrs. Thompson: Who is this?
Doofenshmirtz: Heinz Doofenshmirtz, your neighbor, for like 12 years.
Mrs. Thompson: Who?
Doofenshmirtz: I live in the penthouse. I wear lab coats a lot. Speak with the accent I am currently speaking to you with.
Mrs. Thompson: Just like my neighbor upstairs.
Doofenshmirtz: Yes, exactly!
Mrs. Thompson: Oh, he's not home. You'll have to come back later.
Doofenshmirtz: No no no, wait... (she hangs up) Aww!

Mrs. Thompson is voiced by Doris Roberts and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Roberts' acting career began in 1952 with a role on the TV series Studio One. She appeared in episodes of The Naked City (1958–63), Way Out (1961), Ben Casey (1963), and The Defenders (1962–63). In 1961, she made her film debut in Something Wild.[6] She appeared in such 1960s and 1970s cult films as A Lovely Way to Die, No Way to Treat a Lady, The Honeymoon Killers, Such Good Friends, Little Murders, A New Leaf, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three and Hester Street. In 1978, she appeared in a film about John F. Kennedy's assassination, Ruby and Oswald, in which she played Jack Ruby's sister. She also appeared very briefly in The Rose, as the mother of the title character (played by Bette Midler). In an interview with the Archive of American Television, Rue McClanahan confirmed that in 1972 she was approached by Norman Lear during the taping of an All In The Family episode to be a late replacement for Roberts, who was originally intended for the role of Vivian in Maude.[7] She has usually been cast as a mother or mother-in-law on television, i.e. as Theresa Falco on Angie. She later appeared as Mildred Krebs on Remington Steele. After that show ended, she starred in the TV movie remake of If It's Tuesday, It Still Must Be Belgium (1987) and the National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989). She appeared on Alice, playing the mother of the title character (played by her former Broadway co-star Linda Lavin), on Barney Miller as the wife of a man who secretly went to a sex surrogate, and on Full House as Danny Tanner's mother. She played the unhinged "Flo Flotsky" on four episodes of Soap, and played lonely Aunt Edna on Step by Step.[1] Roberts achieved her widest fame for her role as Marie Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond.

She was reportedly one of 100 actresses considered for the role.[8] For her work on the series, she was nominated for seven Emmy Awards (and won four times) for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. She previously won an Emmy for a guest appearance on St. Elsewhere, playing a homeless woman, and she was also nominated once for her role on Remington Steele. She was nominated for appearances on Perfect Strangers and a PBS special called The Sunset Gang. In 2003, she made a guest appearance as Gordo's grandmother in Lizzie McGuire. The same year, Roberts received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2006, she starred in Our House where she portrayed a wealthy woman who took homeless people in her house, and in the Adam Sandler-produced comedy Grandma's Boy. In 2007, she made a guest appearance on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. In 2008, Roberts appeared in the romantic comedy Play the Game alongside Andy Griffith, who plays a lonely, widowed grandfather re-entering the dating world after a 60-year hiatus. She appeared in the 2009 film Aliens in the Attic, which was filmed in Auckland, New Zealand. She played George Needleman's mother in Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection (2012). On September 23, 2010, she played Ms. Rinsky, Brick Heck's schoolteacher in the second season premiere episode of The Middle. This appearance reunited her with Patricia Heaton, her co-star from Everybody Loves Raymond; the character disliked Frankie. Roberts returned in two other episodes that season, "The Math Class" and the finale, "Back to Summer". She began her career as an operator in Starlight Theater in 1951. Secret Agent Oso as Lena's Grandma is her DTVA debut. JOB's Daughter (Ruth Morrison) and The Little Rascals Save The Day are her most recent credits. She has 141 acting credits, 73 Self credits, and one direction credit (Angie) to her resume.

Yeah; that one was just lovely; wasn't it? They wasted Doris Roberts on a simple doorbell sequence and other than one brief moment later on; these are her only lines in the movie. She is basically the Z-Grade movie John Carradine of this movie! Dammit!! So we head to a prison cell which has purple walls with Doof written all over it. Candace 2nd is sitting in a prison bench throwing a tennis ball and sulking. She complains about doing the right thing and being in a prison cell wondering what lesson she is learning. Then we see the prison door lock gets cut off and it drops onto the ground; indicating that a blowtorch is used. The door opens and it's Jeremy 2nd in SWANK army suit. Yeah! Candace 2nd is amazed that she was found by him; and Jeremy 2nd states that he has two new recruits; which we see Phineas 2nd and Ferb 2nd coming in. Ferb 2nd is holding a blow torch which shoots lime green flames. Ferb 2nd is also wearing shades, a power glove and army gear while Phineas 2nd looks like an albino cyber-punk. I just realized through the pale skin that Phineas 2nd is a ginger. I just love it when the ginger actually stands up and bypasses a security grid which is damn cool to see. Candace 2nd is protesting this; but Jeremy 2nd cuts her off because he should have known; since they have courage like Candace 2nd does. Candace 2nd actually stop selling the tough guy act in that moment; and then goes back to it. Good one Candace 2nd; so Kit Cloudkicker of you too! Jeremy 2nd hands her the sunglasses as he wants to get out of here and it should be easy now that the Normbots are in the 1st dimension. Candace then starts no selling an escape and wants to make a move to stop them right now! Jeremy runs out and before the two 2nd boys can leave; Candace 2nd calls them over and embraces them in a really great booking spot. We are getting close to So The Drama levels of awesomeness now that the 7.6 rating is getting it well deserve due. And the hug and praise is so great; not even Buford 2nd can ruin the buzz as he has nachos on retainer just in case; which earns eye contact violence from Candace 2nd. That was great!

So we head back to the Shinto backyard shrine of doom as Stacey continues to worship the mysterious force and pleading for mercy for her friends Candace, and her brothers because she wants to help Candace bust them of course. Then Candace waves hello and looks sharp at Stacey because if you recall; she was the one who claimed that she was a woman of science. HAHA! Stacey then yells at the mysterious force to give her a car. HAHA! So we head back inside the kitchen as the portable television is conveniently on on the island showing the breaking news of the robots invading Danville. The blond haired anchor continues to talk and now we go to the weather as we see a weather dude on the street in the middle of a swarm holding a banana yellow umbrella yelling that there is robots as the anchor's name is Phil by the way. Phinea is once again asking why Perry refused to let them help him and then hears a beep; which is coming from the collar Perry tore off and gave to them. So they go into the living room and it beeps much faster as they make it to the couch. They climb onto the couch as Phineas calls this a homing device. No crap Sherlock as they pull a mirror from the wall and it's hole containing a tube slide. Phineas & Ferb climb in and they tumble down towards OWCA headquarters which is dark and danky. Phineas & Ferb land in the chair in front of the computer and Phineas deduces that this is Perry's lair. So we see the monitor screen has a voice wave in banana yellow who welcomes them as if she knows them. She tells them to insert the key; and in a cute spot: When she speaks Phineas & Ferb; we see both a yellow shadow of Phineas and Ferb's heads from the yellow waves. Ferb brings out a disc like harmonia and plays it. The computer only tells them to insert key and then the waves create a down arrow towards the console as there is a winged shaped indentation in the console; which Phineas notices that the odd shaped keyhole is actually the web foot locket Perry tore off. So Phineas opens up the locket and places it picture side up in the keyhole. The hole glows red and shines as there is a beeping sound; and then we get to the big moment of this...

Computer: Phineas and Ferb, this message is top secret, for your ears only. If you're hearing this, the Tri-State Area is at alert level Alpha Red. Agent P needs your help.
Phineas: How does he know we'll know what to do?
Computer: He knows you will know what to do. He also knows you are the only ones capable of helping him, because you two are the only ones capable of creating these. (A wall opens, they look)
Voice: Auto scan replication initiated. (A device shoots out red beams of light, recreating many of Phineas and Ferb’s inventions from past episodes of the series, such as the treehouse robots, The Beak armor and Rover to name a few. The deleted scene in this actually shows Phineas finally realizing that Agent P really did know about these inventions from the start. It's funny because Perry in Jerk Du Solei actually attended the big idea back when I was ranting on this show for the first time. So that only served to create a big idiot ball from Phineas. This is the only flaw in one of the most emotional moments in the new Disney; and it is on par with some of the TaleSpin pathos to boot! This was one hell of a payoff; which sadly will be pissed away as you will see later on. )
Phineas: Ferb, I think I know what we're gonna do today!

So we cut to a sky shot of the city as the Normbots are flying around the city of Danville as one of the Normbots is shooting a laser which destroys the flag at city hall. It is replaced with a red flag of Doofensmirtz 2nd's fugly mug which would make anyone submit to his will. MUFFIN TIME~! POW! OUCH! Ummmmm... I should note that the Tri-State area flag is purple, orange and some other color with the triangle reading Tri-State Area on the middle; and I don't see how this could be possible in three states where two of the states are clearly teabagger states. The Normbots proclaim that they have a new leader and to put on their Doofenalls as one of the Normbots measures a brown haired man who is wearing a green shirt; and the guy claims to have a 36 inch waist; which the man blows off that it's 34 inches. Yes; this man is more angry with the robot adding two inches to his waistline, then being scared of the fact that he is about to be oppressed and FUBAR'D by the robots. Yeah; I shake my head in disbelief as Doofensmirtz 2nd is shown on the rooftoops acting evil and enjoying himself too much. So from the Phineas wikia again (God; I love them for doing transcripts that it's well past time that someone, somewhere does transcripts for all the TaleSpin episodes, books and such. Hmmm; I wonder who would be best qualified for the job? Nah; it cannot be Gregory Weagle. He's too much of a conspiracy theorist to pull it off properly.); here's what happens next: 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz laughs as the bots march. Pinky secretly watches from a hole in a fence as a squad of Normbots come by. He uses his collar tag to reflect the sun, sending a signal to Peter the Panda, who is up in a building with several other OWCA agents. He motions, they push a dumpster. It falls and land on a makeshift catapult. Sending a load of tires onto the bots, Peter and the other agents leap down, and Pinky and a mouse and frog agent run out, they attack the bots. (Oh come on BS&P! They are robots; why didn't you let the agents crush them? Why do you love Norm so much? Why?)

Agent T (Turtle), a raccoon agent, and a cat agent trap a bot in a tire and roll him into a wall. They smile, but then another bot throws a tire at them. The bot they threw flexes, snapping the tire, and the other agents are quickly beaten and thrown into a pile. The Normbots encircle them, when suddenly, Perry leaps down in front of them and assumes a martial arts pose. A bot tries to hit him, he dodge. Perry leaps on another Normbot, then leaps away as it is hit instead of him. He leaps onto another Normbot, one of the other bots aims its laser. Perry leaps away as the laser is fired, melting the head off the other bot. Perry does the same thing to several other Normbots, until one grabs him from behind and slams him against a wall. It is about to punch him, when one of the radio controlled baseballs hits it in the face. The bot looks and it keeps hitting it, smashing its face in, it drops and Perry is freed. The ball flies back to Phineas, who is wielding the launcher atop Rover. Perry salutes him, Phineas salutes back; Rover then bounds down the street. We hear a mooing and see Ferb wearing a cowboy hat, leading a stampede of the Robot Bulls. Rover and the bulls tear through the Normbots as the agents cheer. Perry leaps up on top of Rover and he and Phineas hug. Phineas thanks him for trusting him after all and finally Agent P smiles on cue. So then all the babyface kids come in on various inventions as Isabella gets the robot flying unicorn ride; we see Adyson and Milly who have somehow changed into the Firestorm Girls outfits during this (not that it matters since Isabella is in her normal clothes anyway) riding a chariot with a rocking horse containing a slurpee machine. That was awesome. More generic kids enter the scene in chariots with other inventions as Buford's chariot is involved; as Baljeet comes out of a phone booth that is clearly too small for him because he's riding Beak (Mission Marvel geeks should know about this from my last rant) and answering the telephone which is not for him. Buford comes in with a robot Perry making butt jokes; and then two giant wood golems arrives which are painted brown and purple; and they are like treehouses as we see Candace in the purple one and she wants to do some busting. That's the spirit Candace! You are finally using your busting skills to a use other than pointless sibling rivalry. Good for you.

Stacy pushes a button, the two robots bump fists. The other kids show up, riding many other inventions, such as the rollercoaster, Meap's upgraded ship, and the continent painting helicopter from the theme song, a copter brings in the robot shark from "The Belly of the Beast"', piloted by Django Brown. The paper-mâché plane from "De Plane! De Plane!" flies by, and the hot air balloons from "Last Train to Bustville" drop several containers, out of them march several small armies of Phinedroids and Ferbots. Albert in his dragon costume rides in, driving the Holy Mackerel. Peter, Pinky, and Agent T get on the kiddie rides. If anyone wrote down every single invention and who piloted them and describe the epic music for this; you are more brave than I am. I just going to write down: every babyface kid and agent that was ever on the show up to this point is involved in this moment. Phineas addresses the kids on Hot Dog Rover (I did see the deleted scenes in advance before starting this rant (More on that later); so I already know what the mech dog looks like); and he wants to kick robot chassis; which is accurate enough to please BS&P. So the kids all cheer for Phineas as Love Hendal runs in with their instruments; and we see Danny asking Phineas if they can do anything. Phineas basically tells them it's time for music! LOVE HENDAL, MUSIC...NOW!! AND IT IS ON BABEE! Time for a Robot Riot which is an extended scene on the DVD deleted scenes by the way as this is a really good song from Bowling Soup I should note. So we topple over Doofensmirtz 2nd's oppressive ways, the American kids way: Using stuff that Phineas & Ferb created. I am not going to call this because it's all really simple: The kids kick Normbot ass. That's all you need to know. All Love Handel does is sing and play while against a background as if they were in concert. In the middle of a riot. In the middle of a robot riot. There was a riot and then a concert broke out. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is one great Toon Boom scene to watch.

So overall; this was awesome and seeing Baljeet channel Dexter when he slaps the Normbots was too funny for words. Phineas and Perry fire the remote controlled baseballs, smashing them into the Normbots, they high five. Stacy chases a group of bots, Candace slides down the roller coaster track and they both leap, the two smash together, crushing the Normbots between them. The Phinedroids and Ferbots leap off the wings of the paper mache plane and swarm down onto the bots. Isabella rams her ride into one and pushes it to another group, she leaps off as it slams into them, blowing them up. So as the song is going on; Phineas and Perry (armed with remote control baseballs and baseball glove guns sitting on top of machine Rover. What? Don't look at me; I didn't book this segment...) looking at Doofensmirtz's Evil Inc. as the robots are still coming out of the portal; and Phineas states that they need to close the portal down. No?! Really?! Perry gets out his grappling hook and shoots it towards the top of the building; holding out his hand to Phineas which is proof that he trusts him now. Phineas grabs on and yells to Ferb that they are going to close the portal to stop Doofensmirtz 2nd. Ferb gives the thumbs up and Phineas/Perry zips up onto the roof. They see Doofenshmirtz-2 manning the controls, and hides behind a pillar. Love Händel continues playing on Rover as Candace and Stacy emerge out of the wrecked treehouse robots and high five, a couple Normbots fire and they dodge. Phineas looks at 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz. He motions to Perry, they nod and try to sneak over, but Platyborg lands in front of them, he grabs and throws them, they land and Phineas' baseball launcher slides away. Perry motions to the Other Dimensionator and hands Phineas his grappler, Phineas runs off as Platyborg lands, he and Perry grapple. Phineas fires a grapple hook up to the platform and rises up. 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz hears Phineas and turns around. He throws a red disk knife and cuts the rope; causing Phineas to free fall and lands on the conveniently placed green couch. You know; the one with the cushion Perry peed on earlier. Damn.

So Doofensmirtz 2nd has had enough and charges at Phineas; which Phineas somehow gets the peed green cushion in his hands (he was on the other side of the couch when Doofensmirtz 2nd was charging) and throws it in Doofensmirtz 2nd's face pee side in front. Damn; that was...cute. So Phineas bails and ducks when Doofensmirtz 2nd protests this outrage and throws the cushion at Phineas' head (and misses). Then we get another great moment: Perry punches Platyborg and shakes his hand. Platyborg then punches Perry in the face on screen, which causes his fedora to fall off and sends him rocketing into a storage closet full of sports equipment, some of which falls out. Perry comes out in a football helmet and pads, charges and slams into Platyborg, hitting him into a wall. Platyborg punches him in the face and shakes his hand. Perry smirks, raps his knuckles on the football helmet and shrugs. HA! Travis Touchdown LIVES~! As a platypus. I don't why; but I found that funny. So we cut to more Normbots flying out of the portal and cut to Stacey and Candace watching propped against a wall. Candace then proclaims that she was wrong all along. What was she wrong about you ask? She was wrong about being a grownup and controlling mysterious forces because she cannot even get Linda to see it her way. And then she catches herself and then gets inspired as she runs off. Stacey asks what she is doing and Candace runs off towards the park yelling that she is going to bust her brothers to Linda...and fail! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I didn't book this! That is exactly what she said. She is going to bust her brothers and fail! It's hilariously idiotic! Oh my god; this was silly! So we continue on with more Mrs. Thompson/Doofensmirtz crap as we do the sugar routine and that fails; and then we hear about Doofensmirtz being divorced which we have known since season two. Oh god; I love Doris Roberts like family, but this was not the role I wanted her to be in. You couldn't hire June Foray for this and give her a DTVA sendoff?

I realize that she was in Ducktales Remastered; but at least Mrs. Thompson would have been a safe role for her since it only involves two segments and about eight or nine lines. Idiots! So we head to the movie theater as Normbots continue to ignore Candace as she runs into the theater. The name of the movie is That Darn Fiance which is a play on the Disney live action movie That Darn Cat! So we head inside and there are Normbots circling an empty theater; with only Lawerence and Linda watching with 3D Glasses and not giving a crap. Yes; everyone else in the cinema has taken the hint and left; but these two just sit there and act as if nothing has happened. And I thought Harold Buttowski was dense? Candace wants Linda to bust the boys now; but Linda no sells because she's watching the movie which shows a couple in London and I swear to god; they look like the couple in the street when the Normbot started invading; only the female is blond haired, wearing earrings and a purple shirt with purple wristbands. Linda calls this the cliche misunderstanding forgiveness promo; which made me laugh. Then a Normbot bust through the screen as Linda points out that she is fighting the robots before this and Lawerence proclaims that this 3D is amazing. Thanks to this scene; I am now forced to choose who is the better dad which is Harold, Bea's father, Clamantha's dad or Lawerence. Before this point; it was Lawerence winning by a mile. Back in the streets, Ferb charges at another bot. Isabella runs up, manning a baseball launcher telling Ferb to go help Phineas while dodging and murdering a robot which apparently; the baseball becomes a laser. I think that is what happened. Ferb leaps off the bull and runs into a hardware store. He grabs two plungers, then runs to the Danville Impound Lot, where the Platypult is. Yeah; you thought that they would leave that little plot hole unresolved huh? He slides across it, activating the tail as he slides onto it. It launches him into the air and he uses the plungers to stick to the side of the Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. building, and he starts climbing. Ferb equals human Gadget Hackewrench only male and with green anime hair. YAY!

On the roof, Phineas picks up some plates from the buffet table and chucks them at 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz, who dodges and uses cushions to block. Phineas then hits him with a bowl filled with pasta. Doofenshmirtz picks up a lamp and tries to hit him with it. He dodges and backs up to the Normbot controller. Doofenshmirtz-2 swings and Phineas leaps away, causing him to hit the panel, making the Normbots shudder and spark. Phineas hides and looks as 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz fiddles with the controller. He yells at it to work and it finally stops sparking and the Normbots stop selling and continue to fly around. Phineas hides again and realizes that the dish is controlling the robots. He then believes that he doesn't even have to close the portal now as he looks around and see the baseball launcher down on the ground about thirty feet away from him. Phineas runs towards the launcher; but somehow Doofensmirtz 2nd loops around the other side and grabs it. He mocks Phineas like Doofensmirtz does with Perry (what a shock? That's five sodas he owes Doofensmirtz now) as Phineas backs up while Doofensmirtz 2nd mangles metaphors like crazy (that's six sodas he owes you know who now) during this as he proclaims that all this does is assure that he will made Perry and Phineas a cybrog; and then does the "say it five times fast"; and it isn't difficult which Doofensmirtz 2nd admits guilt to (that's seven sodas now). So here's what happens next: Platyborg punches at Perry, who dodges. He head-butts Platyborg, who dives at him. He uses his feet to kick him away. Platyborg leaps back in front of him and tries to hit Perry with the spike on the end of his tail. Perry dodges and takes off the pads and helmet. He uses it as a weapon to knock Platyborg into the buffet table, where his spike is impaled on a turkey. Platyborg at first, tries to get up, but the turkey weighs him down. He then manages to get up, but the turkey is still stuck on the end of his tail. He tries to reach it, but can't. Perry smiles, amused, as Platyborg keeps trying to reach it. He sees and punches Perry in the face. He falls to the ground, they grapple.

Platyborg tries to hit him, but Perry dodges, and he tickles Platyborg's neck, causing his tail to snap forward, planting the turkey over his head. He stumbles blindly and Perry kicks him, sending him back into a fuse box, which his spike pierces, electrocuting him. He jolts and grabs two corn on the cob. The electricity burns the turkey and causes the corn to pop. Perry puts his hat back on and catches a kernel in his mouth. That was one whacky death scene there guys! I like it! DISCO~! POW! OUCH! Ummmm....So we see Doofenshmirtz-2 aiming at Phineas while Phineas backs up. Doofensmirtz 2nd has had enough of Phineas being a thorn in his side; which is not all that painful compared to the thorn in your eye. And don't even think of playing that WWE Attitude RAW opening song guys! Doofen 2nd proclaims that things are going to change now; as Perry turns around noticing the situation. He looks around and notices the conveniently placed baseball bat on the floor. Perry whistles and throws the bat to Phineas as we go in slow motion for this one; just because the animator cannot animate it properly in actual speed. Doofensmirtz 2nd fires the ball launcher at Phineas. Phineas grabs the baseball bat; and he swings the bat at the baseball perfectly. It is a sharp ball driven into the robot control dish and it is destroyed as Doofensmirtz 2nd screams no in slow motion. All the Normbots stop running and it's raining Normbots all over the city. Phineas watches as Normbots rain down on the roof; and we see Doofensmirtz 2nd bailing as well as the Normbots fall to the ground. And apparently; the Fireside Girls have turned back to normal now so it was a clear logic break if I ever saw one as Buford, Isabella, Ginger, Gretchen and Katie are under the bus stop roof looking on. So Isabella and Buford exchange notes on Agent P as Baljeet comes in with only half of the Beak suit on asking for his pants; and Buford proclaims that it is over there. We then see a pile of Normbots as the bottom half of The Beak is shown containing Irving and his two steel canes shouting Wolverine for no freakin reason. Sometimes in life; a little unfunny random humor must fall.

So we head back to the theatre as Candace is demanding that Linda come with her to bust the boys...and fail...because if she doesn't, then she doesn't give a damn about her, the city or her brothers. Which is funny because even if Linda does go, she doesn't give a damn because she's is in on the scheme Candace! Linda looks at her half full popcorn bag and claims that she could use more popcorn; which is enough for Candace to grab Linda and drag her out of the movie theater. So we head back to the roof of DEI as Ferb finally climbs up over the roof and sees the carnage Perry and Phineas wought. Phineas has the baseball bat and proclaims that this was the best homerun ever; which is enough to give Ferb a thumbs up exactly the moment a Normbot crashes on the side of the roof. Then we feel rumbling as the trapdoor in the center room open and out comes a giant ass robot made to look like Doofensmirtz 2nd. We get crackling from Doofensmirtz 2nd; as he is literally piloting the thing from the robot's right sleeve; which is fitting because after that, he states that he has one more trick up his sleeve. Great spot! And of course he has to go on and on about explaining the joke (That would be eight sodas now!) which causes the boys and Perry to just stare at him. Doofensmirtz 2nd then cuts a bibical Jesus to Matthew promo (pearls before swine in case you don't get the reference) and sighs. Yeah; that was dumb. So Doofen 2nd winds up the arm for the punch and hopes you have the 3D Glasses on because he's coming to punch you in the face through your monitor screen. Now THAT'S a great heel promo to use on the audience to get them to boo him as a heel. Because he's threatening violence on the audience watching this. The arm extends and lets fly with a punch. He laughs and whoops. Phineas, Ferb, and Perry hold each other and brace for impact, when suddenly.....We hear Doofensmirtz's voice and the arm insantly stops as it's one foot away from nailing the babyfaces in the face.

So finally Doofensmirtz shows up and he looks pissed as Doofen 2nd blows him off for stopping him in the middle of murdering two boys and a platypus. So Doofensmirtz proclaims that he has something for him and he reaches into his lab coat and pulls out the wooden choo choo train; as it gets sparkles and a jackhammered background with heavenly music. Doofensmirtz 2nd is in shock and chanting choo-choo. Doofensmirtz proclaims that it's his and he never lost it as it was in a box in the pantry labeled VHS Tapes. That made me laugh. Doofensmirtz offers to give Doofen 2nd his wooden train as a gift and Doofen 2nd accepts it and hugs it like a baby. Awwww! Yeap; this is the finish everyone: Doofen 2nd loses to Phineas & Ferb thanks to Doofensmirtz acting like Teddy Ruxpin and offering him gifts. That is just too funny as Doofen 2nd feels better and this evilness is starting to leave him. Doofen 2nd admits that he didn't know what he was thinking and all that stuff as he brings out his remote control which has a remote self-destruct button and Doofen can only point back like a ham. Awwww! So Doofen 2nd pushes the red button and all the Normbots explode and disappear without leaving any damage whatosever; including destroy a small robot from a kid in a blue shirt, white pants and sandals in his living room, because we have to be mean to children, even though they are the main event in this show. So we cut back to the movie theater as Linda and Candace go outside and there are no Normbots in the scene which Linda asks if she has to say that catchphrase; and Candace just cheers like she just won the Wrestlemania main event and the WWE World Heavyweight championship. Candace then off hands tells her to go back to her movie; and Linda gives eye contact to Candace for about ten seconds, and then walks back in. Yeah; Candace is so grounded now; but like Gosalyn in Time & Punishment, she doesn't care. So we head back to DEI with the portal open as Doofen 2nd has the train and he proclaims that he's fine with this dimension and he'll return to the 2nd dimension to live the rest of this day with his train. He waves goodbye and enters the portal.

So he walks into the robot theater about to talk about getting his train back; when the Firestorm Girls arrive with Monogram 2nd surrounding him. HAHA! Monogram tells the Firestorm Girls to book him and they grab Doofensmirtz 2nd and his last words in this movie are that he let his crimes against humanity slip his mind. That was a great finish by the way as we return to the first dimension with Candace running onto the roof of DEI cheering that she saved the world. Candace 2nd and the other kid babyfaces from the 2nd dimension (and Buford 2nd) come out; and Candace 2nd praises her for that. So Candace and Candace 2nd exchange notes for a while as Candace wonders what Candace 2nd will do now. Candace 2nd's dream was to bust Doofensmirtz 2nd; and now that it became reality, she hasn't really thought about it. Candace offers Jeremy 2nd as a possible interest as Jeremy 2nd arrives which causes Candace 2nd to smile for the first time in a long while and she'll take in under consideration. Candace 2nd asks what she will do now; and Candace is going to persue some more childhood for a while; which Candace 2nd approves of, and they hug. That was heartwarming and I have no beef with this because it makes Candace look stronger than she actually was. So Phineas 2nd talks to the boys about how awesome summer is as Ferb 2nd play chords on the classical guitar for fun. And then out of the popcorn carnage comes Perry 2nd with a turkey on his head. HAHA! So we have now covered all the horror movie bases in this movie and made fun of them. This is just great. Phineas braces for impact; and then Perry 2nd transforms into animal mode and has a electric chitter to boot. Phineas 2nd is in glee because that is their Perry; as Phineas apologizes for him being mostly metal now. But Phineas 2nd doesn't care because that makes him a lot more cooler now as he and Perry 2nd embrace. So everyone waves goodbye as the 2nd dimension babyfaces all go through the portal allowing Perry and Perry 2nd to salute each other on the way out.

Personally; I was hoping that would be the end of this, but we have about three minutes to go in this movie. Phineas is so happy that he now knows that Perry is a secret agent and this is the best day (OF DESTRUCTION) ever! Then Major Monogram and Karl show up as Monogram proclaims that the next 15 minutes will be a hoot because that's all he has left to see them. See; Perry blew his cover as an OWCA agent; so it's too dangerous to let Perry be with the Flynn-Fletcher family anymore, since Phineas knows too much of the secret. Phineas finally realizes why Perry didn't want to tell them about it; even though Perry never speaks even as Agent P; outside of chittering. Monogram complains about them not reading the pamplet which Phineas threw away and Karl stated that he warned him about that. Phineas wishes that there was another way; but there is none since Phineas knows too much. Phineas then states that he wishes that he wanted to unknow something. Karl then chimes in that there might be a way; via Doofensmirtz's Amnesian-inator; which if you recall, Agent P has copied Doofensmirtz's inators via a IR device in his fedora hat which I thought they would forget in this situation. Doofensmirtz protest this claiming he never built one because he would have known about it. HEE HEE! Let that sink into your mind and you'll understand why it's funny in this context. Monogram ponders it over and sezs that he'll wipe their memories of today, but they must agree with it. Phineas ponders it over talking about meeting Agent P and having the best day/weekend ever and forgetting it; over remembering said event and never saying Perry again. Ferb then chimes in and proclaims that they have many best days; but only one Perry. That is of course enough for Phineas to agree to getting their memories wiped and the kids follow him in agreement. So we head back to OWCA Headquarters as all the babyface kids that could fit in the basement are here (Phineas, Ferb, the entire Fireside Girls troop, Buford, Baljeet, Stacey, Candace, Jeremy and Doctor Doofensmirtz on a dolly dressed in a straightjacket and an anti-bite mask. Wow; I thought BS&P would hate such a spot; but here it is!

So Monogram motions to everyone to get in position with the tall kids in the back. Phineas and Ferb say their goodbyes to Agent P as Phineas proclaims that it doesn't matter if he's their pet or a secret agent, both are real and he's a real friend and pet to them. Phineas proclaims that he'll miss Agent P and they embrace in a great spot that makes even Monogram shed tears which he blows off as sweat when asked by Karl. Phinea proclaims that he is ready and both boys join the rest of the kids. Then Isabella raises her hand and asks Monogram if they will remember anything that happened today; and Monogram assures him that she won't. Isabella then turns around and channels Rebecca Cunningham from Your Baloo's In The Mail and kisses Phineas on the lips in response. Now that was awesome! Phineas is in shock as this is a profess of love for Phineas from Isabella and Monogram orders Karl to hit it; and Phineas yells wait about three times; but it's too late as we get a white flash of light and then we fade to black...So we return with Perry heading down to his lair. He sits in his chair and plugs a camera into the computer. A box comes up that says 'IMPORT PHOTOS?', he clicks YES. We see various photos being shown, such as Phineas taping a 'REBOOT ME' sign to a Normbot, Ferb making bunny ears behind Phineas and Perry as they ride in the mine car, Ferb holding up the cushion that Perry peed on, and Ferb pretending to stick his head in the Goozim's mouth. Me & My Bro is playing in the background during this and none of the photo matches up with the action that took place in the actual movie! I think Fanboy & Chum Chum stole this ending for the Brain Freeze special on DVD; because this sequence looks similar to that. Perry smiles; and we see he is looking at the last picture, Phineas and Perry hugging with Ferb next to them, and a box comes up that says 'SAVE PHOTOS?', he smiles again and clicks YES. Which is a really decent way to end the movie as I should point out that there was an outtake in the deleted scenes where Perry failed to leave during the thing and the mindwipe was screwed up as a result. That was funny. Perry would leave and this is probably where he went. And that officially ends the movie at 75:38. The ending credits is mostly scrolling with still photos from the movie with Taking Care Of Things and Everything Is Better with Perry. I checked the credits and there is no mention of Slash at all on the show. That's mainly because Slash wrote the ED music for this movie called Kicking It Up A Notch; but since America is a copyright piss ant; the song was removed from DVD releases because Slash wanted royalities for the song and Disney is too cheap of a bastard to do that; so the ending song was replaced. Probably for the best; since Slash was also wasted in that role too along with Doris Roberts. Sometimes you wonder what is the point of casting celebrities in roles that are a waste. Foodfight should be a great cautionary tale of what happens when you have no confidence in getting your animated movie over and if the Rescue Rangers live/CGI movie is a reality, they would be wise to remember what happened. Number of celebrities: two dozen. Total buyrate: $75,000 on a $45 million budget. Yeah. Anyhow; this Disney Channel movie was not quite So The Drama levels mainly because it felt sloppy and they ruined the buzz in some areas; mostly with Phineas going overboard on his anger to Perry. However; it was a really good television movie and I cannot wait for the Star Wars/Phineas & Ferb crossover which we know is coming soon. Call it **** 1/2 (90%).

...And now it's time for the deleted scenes...!!!

Deleted Scene #1: So we see Candace and Stacey run out into the backyard and there is Baljeet and Isabella standing there while Candace claims that the boys are so busted again; demanding answers. Isabella only states that they don't know because something happened to Phineas & Ferb; and the invention is gone. Candace deduces that the "mysterious force" is realizing that she is a grown up. Since when? Since this movie I guess. Stacey is not convinced and Candace starts singing Mysterious Force directly at the hard camera. They basically show bastardized footage of some of Phineas' big idea which include human spinning tops in the parking lot, the chariots of doom, the big robotic dog which is basically a friendly version of Hot Dog from Mega Man 2. Stacey provides handclaps after not being convinced before the song started. Rocket Car shows up and disappears. The song finally ends and Stacey stops selling it because she is a woman of science; which is according to her horroscope. Yeah; she is a woman of science. Junk science! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Candace is going to prove that her mysterious force can be defeated. That ends scene. I approve of this cut simply because they sang for a minute on something they explained in ten seconds. It's not like Home Is Where The Heart Is where the song was suppose to show off the soft side of Rebecca Cunningham in TaleSpin; so I have no beef with this cut song. It's on the DVD anyway, so it's a moot point; unlike Home Is Where The Heart Is.

Deleted Scene #2: So we are in the lab of Doctor Doofensmirtz as he is talking to Agent P who I guess is trapped; which I discover that it's not because there is a wooden dummy painted green with a woodpecker-equse nose with a tennis racket and a fedora hat tied to a chair. We have yet another inator that he introduces called the Other Dimension-inator; and is in a groove which Norm kills off as he is at the buffet table doing nothing of note. Doofensmirtz blows Norm off which brings in Vanessa telling Norm to butt out and let Doofensmirtz have his fun with the wooden dummy. HEE HEE! So Doofensmirtz claims that it's a stand in for Perry called Pretendy The Practicepus complete with tennis ball eyes. HAHA! Vanessa blows him off for not being normal and walks off which means that it's the hate side of the love-hate relationship of Doof/Vanessa in this movie. Doofensmirtz is so happy that he doesn't care that Vanessa insulted him. Doofensmirtz took it well anyway and that is that for that scene. It was just there; so I'm fine with this cut.

Deleted Scene #3: This is in the 2nd dimension because the colors have gone extremely whacky when the front door opens and in comes Vanessa yelling at Doofensmirtz again wearing a black dress with Star Wars-equse hair and clothes blowing off Doof 2nd at the desk who is currently talking to Doofensmirtz who has sit down in front of him. Well; that was awkward. Doof 2nd is wearing all black with a black eyepatch on his left eye. So yes; Monogram is correct in having an eye patch being so cool. So Vanessa is complaining about some jabroni named Tony Mamasomething being banned because she wants an actual social life. Doof 2nd states that this will be done according to her whims and then Vanessa asks who he was talking too; in this case Doctor Doofensmirtz from another dimension; which Vanessa blows off and storms out claiming that she's going to her mother again. Even in the 2nd dimension; Vanessa is on the hate side of the love/hate relationship with her father. On second thought; #2 and #3 shouldn't have been cut. Sorry about that; I guess Disney is still an idiot.

Deleted Scene #4: So we get a shot of the Danvile 2nd as a blimp containing a lime green balloon of some alligator like creature; as we see Phineas watching and the blimp bumps into balloons containing a human face who looks stoned. Phineas proclaims that this is what it means it be doomed; which Candace points out that he's wrong; as we see a sky shot of a monitor screen showing a monitor of some brainwashing propaganda film of some kind created by Doof 2nd. Ferb and Doctor Doofensmirtz are in the blimp ride for some reason. End segment. That was nothing.

Deleted Scene #5: We head inside some basement in OWCA headquarters as the kids are talking to Major Monogram about some memory wipe (well; Isabella was asking Monogram about it) while Karl is at the computer typing. Isabella asks if they won't remember anything about this movie and Monogram sezs yes. So Isabella then turns around and kisses Phineas right on the lips. YOWZERS! WHY THE HELL DID YOU CUT THAT ONE OUT?! I know it's a moot point now since the movie is on DVD; but that should have happened on television. Screw you idiots! I see Jeremy is here too; along with the Fireside Girls wearing green uniforms for no good reason. Phineas tries to get a word across; but he is cut from with the XENON FLASH OF DEATH and everyone acts like they don't know. Then Phineas asks about Perry wearing the hat and Monogram gets flustered and yells at Karl; while ordering Agent P to leave the area. Ummm; shouldn't you put them to sleep; and then wipe the memories? Idiots! No wonder Karl is getting buried everytime.

Deleted Scene #6: We get an anime background as we see yellow crap flying in...Oh wait; it's breaking news in yellow letters. So we head to the newsdesk with Gordon Guts-Is-Name as he informs us that an invasion of killer robots was really just an air balloon; with Gordon doing hand gestures to force the point. End segment. That was nothing either.

Deleted Scene #7: The wall parts like the red sea which I assume is in some sort of lab as Phineas & Ferb have apparently pushed some buttons on the console they were sitting at; as there is a huge red laser gun device on the ceiling and it starts to shoot at the ground. Long story short; it basically creates clones of all of the inventions Phineas & Ferb have made over the past three seasons; including the metal dog. Sadly; there is no known clone of the giant baby head. Phineas then proclaims that this was Perry's doing and thus he was there all this time after all; and trusted them to be creative. Phineas embraces Ferb and proclaims that he knows what they are going to do today; which is save the galaxy. I don't why this was cut because it was a very important part of the plot. There is an extended scene of Robot Riot on the DVD; but I'm not going to write it here; since it's part of the song of Robot Riot anyway. I will say this: This movie was five lines away from showing a real pentagram on DTVA again like in Ducktales.

THE REVIEW LINE

Well; I really ended this one with a bang didn't I? Across the Second Dimension was a rollercoaster ride that I enjoyed for the most part. It wasn't as overwritten as Recess: School's Out and they paid off every device and joke in the book in this one. I ended up loving the second dimension characters more than the originals; with the possible exception of Phineas & Ferb 2nd, as we got a kick ass action packed movie filled with Doofensmirtz and Doofensmirtz 2nd stealing the show. The downsides of this movie were that Phineas' anger towards Perry was justified, but I knew the storyline better and thus Phineas sounded like a jerk once he was yelling at Perry that this conversation was not over. I also loved Candace 2nd over Candace because she felt like a protector of her brothers rather than just a foil for Phineas & Ferb to defeat. Everything else worked great and we got to see someone pee on camera in a Disney show as well. Also I'm disappointed that they bothered to get Doris Robert in a scene that was just there to fill time and it didn't do anything. Overall; this movie is about a step below So The Drama, mostly because it had that sloppiness feeling to it in terms of logic and animation. However; it wasn't as crappy as Sunwoo's movie attempt at Recess: School's Out where stuff just looked so fake that I couldn't get into it. Plus; the jokes in 2nd dimension were much better and less overwritten than School's Out too.

So; that officially ends my DVD set rants of Phineas & Ferb (until I can find the Christmas DVD set and maybe the upcoming Star Wars Crossover which should have bonus episodes on them from Season Four); and this was a great ride for me. As I said before; this is a fun enjoyable show that lasts 11-22 minutes. It is sloppy as hell at times; but almost every episode doesn't offend me and many of them do make me laugh a lot. The total count after 52 stories is 17 thumbs up, eight thumbs down and 27 in the middle; which is a really good ratio for the new Disney. Most of my complaints on this show are sloppy animation, dumb Candace, Buford self-harming gimmick, Monogram being vanilla, Karl not staying heel after Where's Perry? The worst one is dumb Candace and to a lesser extent; Baljeet being the butt of jokes for Buford when Buford is suppose to be the babyface now that Raging Bully killed off his heel heat. I want to see the rest of these episodes and rant on them; but I'm done the series for now since I need a break from this gig. I still have Easter Sadism let in the box; but that can be done on Good Friday in about three weeks. Overall; Phineas & Ferb has impressed me mostly for Phineas & Ferb's big whacky ideas, The Fireside Girls being great, and of course Doofensmirtz and Perry battles which make watching this show the most enjoyable. Sure; this is repetitive; but I loved Roadrunner cartoons and they were much more repetitive than Phineas & Ferb will ever be. This is MY kind of show; one where I can enjoy the show and still care about the characters being presented to me. As I said in the past: Phineas is happy most of the time because he knows how to use it and not abuse it. When he gets angry; it has impact. If Phineas was as angry as the old farts want him to be; then Phineas would turn into an unlikable, angry little man which no one, not even old farts want to see. No one pays or spends time seeing angry little men babyfaces. Angry little men heels maybe; but not babyfaces.

Now that Phineas & Ferb is done; I can focus on moving all these Phineas & Ferb rants to their proper place in the New Disney folders, and start the big move to add Gravity Falls to the new Disney folders, Dave The Barbarian and Mighty Ducks to their own folders since I am doing those rants during the summer and fall. I want to do series that are more obscure and didn't last long, in order to speed up my DTVA episode ranting a bit. I have six episodes of Gravity Falls on DVD; so it'll be part of the summer ranting fun. I'm doing the Nogbert story arc of The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin in tribute to the late Ken Forsse who passed away last week and it's only fitting that I do the episode "The Day Teddy Met Grubby" since it was a popular story among the original audio storybook circuit. Teddy Ruxpin will be done during the Fathers Day specials; Gravity Falls will probably be in June. If not; then it will be part of the summer ranting tour. I have decided to pick one episode of Mighty Ducks and one 22 minute segment of Dave The Barbarian and the one that has the highest rating, I get to pick that show as the third one to rant on (the Tuesday rant; usually). This will continue until the fall. I'm pretty sure that there is no chance that I'll finish Fish Hooks nor Kick Buttowski, but if there are episodes available that I haven't reviewed yet, I'll do them during the fall. I'm still mulling over the Christmas special though. So starting April 1st; I'll start moving the Phineas & Ferb files to the new Disney folder; and editing them so they look less sloppy than the episodes I ranted on. Then I'll add folders for Mighty Ducks and Dave The Barbarian. Then it's prep work for Teddy Ruxpin, Gravity Falls, Mighty Ducks, Dave The Barbarians, Fish Hooks/Kick Buttowski (if it happens) and then the Christmas special. On Good Friday; Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue will be up for Easter Sadism, and then once all this is done: I'll be working on the big 25 Years of Spin, TaleSpin stuff as I will finally be updating the Unofficial Kit Cloudkicker Homepage for real. So I have a lot of work to do between now and June. So....

Thumbs up for this movie and I'll see you all next time.
