“Phineas and Ferb Candice against the Universe” is the new Phineas and Ferb movie on Disney+. I originally sought out this movie because I saw it advertised on TicTok by Dan Povenmire the guy who voices Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
I really liked Phineas and Ferb when it was on TV and this movie is no different.
I like that we get to see the events from Candice’s point of view. Throughout the series you could see she was frustrated but the movie gives you more insight into why she was feeling that way. And it makes Candice more personable.
As the boys go to save Candice you can see that they really care for her and would do anything to save her. I also like how it shows Perry the platypus saving the boys who are trying to save Candice but also hiding from the boys so they don’t know he’s there. It is a weird comical turnaround.
One of my favorite parts is when Jeremy’s reaction to the danger at the end of the movie. You find out that he “larps” aka live-action roll plays.
I like this moment so much because in the series we see him through Candices eyes as this cool boy But you get to learn that he’s just as nerdy as the rest of them.
I do like that Candice is the main character. The movie shows a lot of girl power. Although Candice gets herself into this mess she also is the leader to get herself out of it. And you don’t get to see many strong girl role models and movies.
I absolutely give this movie four and a half out of five. I love to see the musical number. And the storyline. But I just wish that Doofenshmirtz played a bigger role in helping them.
He was really focused about helping his daughter which is good but if he would have been a bigger part and helping the other kids then it would show how much of a good guy he really is. Even though he tries to play this big bad evil scientist he has a soft heart.
I really hope the Phineas and Ferb franchise gives us more movies in the future. Maybe even an origin story about their mom and how Phineas and Ferb came to be.There’s a lot of speculation that Doofenshmirtz might be Phineas dad because the similarities between the two characters. I would love them to prove or disprove of the conspiracy in a movie.
I would suggest this movie to anyone who watched the original series. It beings back a lot of nostalgia from growing up.
