Personal Review

As a long time fan of Phineas and Ferb, this movie was a real treat! I felt like I was transported back to my childhood. The humor is spot-on, and the focus on Candace’s character development was a welcome change. “Us Against the Universe” hit me right in the feels. I did expect a cameo from Milo Murphy, but maybe in the next movie!

  • “Families looking for a fun movie night”
  • “Viewers who enjoy animated adventures and musical comedies”

Professional Reviews

• IMDB: “This has to be one of the better feature-length adaptations of Disney Channel cartoons. It manages to tell an engaging feature-length story while still retaining the original show’s brilliantly zany sense of humour and imagination. What’s more, with a heartfelt story and an uplifting message in the end, it’s a pleasant and joyful kids’ movie that has something for all to enjoy.
• IMDB: “This film took what the original show did and put it to a whole new level; it stuck to its roots and did a damn good job at it. Overall, I’m blown away. Despite not having worked on the show for 8 or so years, Dan and ‘Swampy’ manage to tell and engaging, happy, funny, deep and meaning story about the struggles of the whole universe being against you.
• IMDB: “Candace against my brain cells.This didn’t need to be a movie, or even be made in the first place. It’s just a rehash of the “Unfair Science Fair Redux” episode, where Candace also finds herself on Mars surrounded by aliens worshipping her as her queen. Same exact lessons and beats from the characters.

Audience Reactions

The humor is nostalgic and feels like classic Phineas and Ferb.: Fans loved the callbacks to the original series and the focus on Candace’s character arc.

The soundtrack is catchy and brings back the fun vibes of the show.: The songs are memorable and upbeat, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Overall Consensus: A fun and nostalgic return to the world of Phineas and Ferb, with a focus on Candace’s character, though some felt it didn’t quite reach the heights of the first movie or the original series.
