New ‘Phineas And Ferb’ Movie Gets Disney Greenlight

Disney Branded Television has given a green light to a new Phineas and Ferb movie, the third in the time-warp adventure franchise, from series co-creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh. Production is slated to begin this year for eventual premiere on Disney+ and Disney Channel . In the movie, Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s latest time‐travel experiment backfires, erasing the moment Phineas’ mom meets Ferb’s dad - meaning the boys never become brothers and every day is merely adequate. As reality unravels and the future hangs in the balance, Phineas and Ferb must restore the timeline before it’s too late. The original cast returns for the movie, including Vincent Martella as Phineas Flynn, David Errigo Jr. as Ferb Fletcher, Ashley Tisdale as Candace Flynn, Caroline Rhea as Linda Flynn-Fletcher, Alyson Stoner as Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Maulik Pancholy as Baljeet, Bobby Gaylor as Buford, Dee Bradley Baker as Perry the Platypus, Povenmire as Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and Marsh as Major Francis Monogram. Watch on Deadline Povenmire and Marsh return as co-creators and executive producers, with Kate Kondell and Jeff Howard writing, Bob Bowen directing, and Brandi Young producing. “‘Phineas and Ferb’ is built on imagination, heart and humor, where the unexpected is always part of the fun,” said Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television. “This movie gives Dan and Swampy the chance to stretch that world even further and play with what happens when everything gets turned on its head.” Povenmire and Marsh added, “We’ve always wanted to explore a story centered on family and unconditional love, preferably in a way that’s bold and sentimental yet classically funny. We’re grateful to Ayo and her team for giving us the runway to expand Danville and take these characters to a whole new level.” News of the movie follows the successful return of Phineas and Ferb with the fifth season premiere last summer. The series drew strong ratings for the revival’s launch, ranking on Nielsen’s Streaming Top 10, drawing nearly 600 million minutes viewed. The Emmy-winning and BAFTA-nominated series premiered officially in 2008 and became the most successful animated series for Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14 in Disney Television Animation history. The franchise’s first television movie, Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension , ranked in TV’s Top 2 movies for 2011. Its second television movie, Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe , debuted as the No. 3 most-watched movie on streaming for all viewers 2+ and No. 1 for Kids 6-11 in its first week on Disney+ in 2020. Phineas and Ferb is produced by Disney Television Animation, a part of Disney Branded Television.
