It's been two years - I'd like to issue an apology to Snipple animation - they were actually the ones who worked on the final, beautiful 3rd of the film. It was likely Yearim who did the animation for the 1st 3rd of the film, on which my thoughts haven't changed. I plan to be more careful attributing credit in the future, as even though I don't definitively say it's Snipple here, it's been taken as fact throughout the community, and I feel partially responsible.
That's okay. I assume the mistake was made because of how the end credits list the animation studios in alphabetical order, and not necessarily that this studio animated this act specifically.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Snipple Animation is without a doubt one of the worst overseas animation services; it saddens me that one of The Philippines finest (and I use 'finest' extremely loosely) tainted one of my favorite Disney shows: Phineas & Ferb (ever since the sloppy 2020 sequel: Candace Against the Universe) and Hamster & Gretel (it would be a lot better if they had Patrick Warburton as Hamster instead of Beck Bennett). It's bad enough Toon City tainted SVTFOE and The 7D. I hope that Snipple won't work on P&F's potential return.
@@josephturner2999 Since you asked nicely, I'll tell you. When you look at Snipple's works on the shows they done, their work is terrible, especially when compared to better ones (by comparison): Wang Film Productions, Hong Ying Animation, Rough Draft Korea, Synergy Animation, Saerom, Sugarcube, Starburst, SMIP Co, Digital EMation Inc, Mercury Filmworks, Top Draw Animation, Sunwoo and Yearim. And don't get me started on Toon City.
@@josephturner2999 I appreciate you asking nicely, so I'll tell you. My go-tos for Dan & Jeff's shows are: Wang Film Productions, Hong Ying Animation, Rough Draft Korea and Synergy Animation. Hold the Snipple.
@@josephturner2999 Yes. Yes, it is all true, and the ideal animations that'll help H&G are the four I just told you. Another thing that'll help is that they got Patrick Warburton to voice Hamster, not Beck Bennett. He tries too sound like Warburton, but fails hard while doing so.
There can only be one "Phineas and Ferb: The Movie" the ultimate Phineas and Ferb adventure, with a quintessential plot line and perfect character moments, with it's high-stakes and it's truely Grand Adventure, it has to capture the essence of Phineas and Ferb better than anything before or since. It is of course: "Summer Belongs to You."
The episode doesn't even surpass an hour and the stakes aren't exactly high. I like the episode, but I do feel like it's overrated and much prefer the 44 minute specials in season 4.
@@joelblake5310 Phineas and Ferb is a very fast-paced show and it's average episode is 11 minutes long, it's pacing is perfect, so when one of their adventures is more than an hour-long it loses something that makes it feel a little less like Phineas and Ferb, that being said the 45-minute specials are always wonderful, so the quintessential Phineas and Ferb episode is 45 minutes long. The stakes could not be higher, if P&F fail they have to forego their whole worldview. They have to spend the rest of the summer doing nothing, and admit that summer is not what you make of it. These stakes threaten the essence of what Phineas and Ferb is about. If they fail, everything the show has worked for, and the message it tries to send out, die. The stakes could not be higher. There are great episodes in season 4 but nothing captures P&F the way "Summer Belongs to You" does. P&F is a show about making the most of your day, and this episode's premise is literally trying to make the most of the literal day. And the character growth for Candace, Heinz, and Vanessa in this one episode is immaculate and defines their characters for the rest of the show's run.
I think the reason why ATSD is so much better is because it explores everything that could never happen/wasn’t ALLOWED to happen in a regular episode. Phineas and ferb discover Perry’s secret. Doof takes over the tristate area. Isabella finally expresses her feelings to phineas. It finally gives the audience everything we’ve been waiting for.
I've always love Phineas & Ferb The movie across the 2nd Dimension because this shows A true Evil Doof and Phineas and Ferb knowing their pet Perry is a secret agent was a scene I'll never forget!❤👍😎🌟
Yes agree. If people told me to grow up to forget something spectacular, then i Wouldn't want to grow up. Grow up suck, go away and just be suck alone.
I love how the true evil Doof had such a pathetic back story of just losing a toy train while regular Doof had such a scarring childhood from being disowned by his parents to being forced to be the family’s gnome every night in a row for multiple years
My big problem with CATU is that I feel like the concept I was sold on was 'interactions between characters that we didn't see a lot of together on in the show' - having Candace and Vanessa kidnapped together, or Doof working with the kids. But aside from the Doof and Isabella plot, we never really get to see that because the movie separates those groups of characters early on, in favor of the groups we're used to seeing. 2nd Dimension did something really unique, giving us a plot that the show never could have, while CATU feels a lot more like a typical episode extended to movie length. Also CATU really should have had Stacy involved with Perry's plot.
@@champion1859 well this could easily just be me, but i kinda feel like the show doesnt really need more episodes as pretty much every interesting aspect already got explored pretty well, but then there was the stacy and perry interaction that just seemed so much like it was setting up something, literally anything but then it just never came back other than one throwaway line. so, my wishlist upon learning that there's going to be more seasons pretty much starts and ends with finally getting something with stacy and perry to pay this off but then the comment pointed out quite correctly that they had all the reason to bring that up again in CATU and then didnt. that being said, in the 2 months it took me to remember to reply to this, i found out one of the confirmed season 5 episode titles is 'agent t for teen', so maybe not all hope is lost. maybe.
Something I love about 2D Doofenshmirtz is how he's a *huge* parallel to the original,like with his backstory,for instance. Doofenshmirtz didn't just have a tragic backstory. He had tragic backSTORIES. And he still ended up as a low-ranking villain (And eventually gave up evil) 2D Doof,on the other hand,literally lost a toy train,and went full evil scientist Hitler. *I love this show so much*
Across the Second Dimension no contest. Candace Against the Universe is good but it's too similar to the Queen of Mars episode. The first song Such a Beautiful Day and Us Against the Universe are addicting though.
Only one thing I forgot to say - Phineas's eyebrows are ELITE in Candace Against the Universe. Mad props to the board artists for giving us premium Phineas eyebrow content
It’s honestly odd when I realize one of the few times Phineas’s eyebrows are shown is when he’s mad, which is a rarity itself. But yeah, they definitely dialed it us, even when he wasn’t mad.
say what you want about the soundtrack, the deleted song of Step into the great unknown is one of the best songs in the movie (had it actually been there) and is better than several of the songs that are in the final version of the movie
Across the 2nd dimension brings back hilarious memories I'll never forget the very first time I watched it....Candace against the universe was good too but I also think the 2nd dimension was better
Candace against the universe feels like a special and that's it, not like a movie, the stakes don't matter since we know the ending, the characters are mostly already developed and the struggle Candace faces is the same she had when she went to Mars, it's great fun but it isn't as impactful as it could have been had it released before the show ended
I fully agree, if we were to take away the stakes from both Candace against the universe doesn’t change much, while the 2nd dimension fully loses all it’s value
If I had a Nickel for every time Disney made a Phineas and Ferb movie, I would have 2 Nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Yeah, I’d have to go with Across the 2nd Dimension has the better movie. Candace Against the Universe is good, but the first one is just more iconic and nostalgic. Also, I fully binge watched Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure and LOVED it!
I’ve only seen Candace Against The Universe once but I remember I really didn’t like the running gags going on for so long And for the marketing, they actually did air the videos for Such A Beautiful Day and We’re Back on Disney Channel a lot, but I do agree the promotion for Across The 2nd Dimension was better And since you brought it up: the song All The Convoluted Reasons We Pretend To Be Divorced from the sequel episode is so great 😂😂😂
While objectively Across The Second Dimension is the better movie, I always felt a special connection to Candace Against The Universe. It’s emotional journey is so perfect, I can forgive all of its flaws. Also Us Against The Universe is literally my favorite song of all time so there’s that.
I think both movies are equally great but I'll always prefer 2nd Dimension. Candace Against The Universe still delivers basically everything I wanted from a Phineas and Ferb movie
33:05 well, even though it still bugged me whenever I watched the movie on TV, at least it was understandable because there was a commercial break. But they really should’ve cut that out on Disney+, because without commercials it feels really weird to see the scene repeated immediately.
Before I even watch the video, I just wanna say that I love how professional and official you are when it comes to cartoons and movies. Your analysis is always great, you cover all the points a fellow cartoonist wants to hear, and your humor is great. Also... ROBOT RIOT REPRESENT
I think Phineas & Ferb the movie across the 2nd Dimenstion is still the best and the battle with Evil Doof and the songs are outstanding so I hope there will be a video about the teenage mutant ninja turtles!
The alternate dimension perry is a reference to the borg from star trek, so it's the whole second dimension since it's a lot like star trek's mirror universe, and it's not surprising since Dan, the p&f co-creator, is a huge trek fan.
@@The2ndDimension Btw in Milo Murphy's law the creator of Dr. zone i think it's like a reference to Gene Roddemberry, the creator of star trek, and actually dr. zone can be considered a star trek alter ego in the p&f universe (but mostly inspired from doctor who and other sci-fi) btw time traveling doofensmirtz, becoming world wide famous for his invention can be also seen as a reference to zefram cochrane which is a character in the trek universe that invented the technology that allows faster than light space travel (and so space ships capable of reaching other planets in reasonable time), and becoming a symbolic historical figure for that.
i didn't notice the animation differences too much when watching CATU but now that you've pointed them out it's painfully obvious. i remember thinking that the lines were too thick in the beginning of the movie, but i didn't notice how STIFF the animation was. now if you'll excuse me, i'm off to watch Across the Second Dimension again-
Also I feel like Across the 2nd Dimension really showcases what P&F is about. Like it's packed full of the action but also the comedy of the actual show that again, it feels like an extended episode. P&F: Candace against rhe Universe doesn't feel like a P&F movie? Like it's fine as a movie but doesn't really feel like it's P&F? If you know what I mean?
24:54 "Buford says something funny here" made me laugh *so* much actually this whole scene did Phineas and ferb's 4th wall breaks are some of the best jokes in the whole series
Across the 2nd Dimension always will be my favorite. I mean, Multiversal Shenanigans are what I love! (Also why No Way Home is Top 3 Spider-Man movies)
I remember when this came out, my divorced dad was coming to pick us up and it usually is a long drive to his house. But we waited so long for it to come out, so my dad was nice enough to drop us off at our grandmothers house just so we could all watch it together. We really cared about this movie. We used to hype up all these phineas and ferb specials. Especially the episode where they got busted. We would all get together with popcorn.
I really enjoyed both movies, but I think Across the 2nd Dimension is the better one in the end. After watching them the first few times, I actually liked CATU a bit more, but things somehow turned later on. At2D became my ultimate comfort movie, it's probably my most watched movie so far (and I've only seen it for the first time in October or November 2020), and it always helps me when I'm not feeling so well. This may probably due to the fact that 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz is my all-time favourite character (even though he certainly did bad things and I don't condone his actions). I'm not even Sure how that happened, when I first watched the movie I actually found him kinda annoying, but somehow he just stole my heart
Phineas and Ferb Across the 2nd dimension was special to me because PandF was my favorite back in my childhood and is nostalgic everytime I watch it. On the other hand Candace vs The Universe marked the return of my favorite show after 6 long years and I got to see my favorite characters once again. So for me I enjoy Across the 2nd Dimension more and i agree that each has its own merits, but nothing can beat the feeling of nostalgia.
there may be too many jokes that go in for too long, but then again, the scene in teacher feature where Scott is dancing might be my favorite Milo joke ever soooo
I remember watching the 2nd Dimension when it came out and I still remember almost everything. I also watched Candace Against the Universe when it came out and I hardly remember anything. The 2nd Dimension also made me extremely emotional during the resolution because i truly cared about the main characters. Compared to the 2nd movie where I felt like the feel and emotions was all off from the original TV show.
It’s really hard for me to pick between the two movies, truth be told. I mean, on the one hand, I did appreciate Candace Against the Universe for having a more cinematic feel to the story, which I would argue matters heavily for a “The Movie” movie. Like, take any of the What’s New Scooby Doo era Scooby movies- they really just felt like extended What’s New episodes mostly compared to the likes of Zombie Island or even SCOOB. But on the other hand, Across the Second Dimension does feel like it’s a bit more consistent throughout, and a consistent level of quality really goes a long way for a “The Movie” movie. I do think I’d ultimately agree Across the Second Dimension is better… but what if both use the “The Movie” moniker because it’s a big meta joke about how everyone forgot the first movie happened in universe!? …Nah, but that was a funny little idea I had when thinking of the reset button the first movie hit.
AT2D is better for the sole fact that it has a much more interesting plot and deals with BIG things we’d never seen before. CATU just doesn’t seem to hit much new ground. The villain just turning on a whim absolutely blows in it, in AT2D it makes sense knowing the irrationality of the character and how it’s been set up earlier in the film, rather than just spouting the message to them and that just instantly doing it, while also being out of character. AT2D also has a pretty fine emotional beat seeing as the not being able to communicate actually makes sense rather than direct misunderstanding of two language using adults. There also felt like real stakes in AT2D. Brainwashing/body replacement, killer robots, literal death chambers filled with lava, etc. And finally, the finale just has much more to it. Like, sure the side characters don’t get too much focus throughout the film. But at the end we see like, everyone we’ve met throughout the show with a song by the band we’ve know throughout the show. It just meshes so well and is a logical climax. The us against the universe song is fine, but it doesn’t feel as good or actiony as robot riot, and the way it plays out just feels way more cheesy with everyone walking together side by side in choreography. It just really embodies “what a fun little romp” as if there’s no real danger. Like at least the song with slash is a non canon credits song. I also feel like almost all the stuff CATU has that beats AT2D, is only because of modern times and hindsight. -The trailer better? The old trailer fit a less artful time with bombastic narrators and such. -better poster: hindsight -better score: hindsight -pacing: no commercials/hindsight CATU isn’t bad per say, but it’s just not a story that embodies the show like AT2D does
Like I love both films. But I feel if Candace against the univers got more marketing than just on Dan's TikTok it would of gotten more points and stuck with people more. Plus Candace against the universe was made during Covid so it was judged a bit harshly
I can see why 2nd Dimension is more appealing to y'all who never stopped watching Phineas & Ferb, but Candace Against the Universe really struck a chord with me. It seems to have been written with the understanding that most of its viewers know the basic plot structure of a Phineas and Ferb episode and vaguely remember certain details, but just haven't seen it in a while--which I appreciated, because that is exactly my deal. Also, I tend to value the emotional core of a story a lot higher than anything else. Candace's arc felt way more real to me than the whole "my pet has betrayed me" thing. Although maybe I'm biased, I too am a woman with depression.
So here's my take: Poster: Universe Trailer: 2nd D, because I found it more epic Marketing: 2nd D Story: 2nd easily Characters (original): Universe Characters (new): 2nd D Animation: This may be surprising, but Universe. Sure, the first act doesn't looks off and asteroid field looks bad, but I like all the other CGI and how it actually looks like a movie. Comedy in general: 2nd D Emotional journey: This is a close one, but 2nd D. I'm sorry, but I just couldn't feel bad for Candace. Pacing: 2nd D Edit: Okay, let me elaborate. I like the pacing for the first movie more because the second movie is an hour and 20 minutes long, but Doof and the gang don't even get to Feeblaoot until 26 minutes in, and we're only on the planet for about 45 minutes, not counting the sections with Doof and Vanessa. Cut potential: I really don't know 🤷♂️ The score: Universe Songs: 2nd D Yeah, the winner is the first movie, and I still would have preferred it even if the second movie won.
Here’s my case for Candace against the universe. The characters and running gags and songs are what MAKES Phineas and Ferb and I think that Candace against the universe does a better job with that by a long shot. I also love Buford and baljeet and they felt like such an afterthought in the second dimension.
The fact I don't understand is after the end of Phineas and Ferb's The 2D Dimension, in another season of Phineas and Ferb Perry was still with them and they never forget about being the engineer or never forget about their pet after they memory being erased by the inator
It was clarified that only that day was going to be erased in the movie, not who they actually were. Remember that the entire movie happened in ONE DAY.
What's great about AT2D is that it feels like a jump the shark moment WITHOUT jumping thr shark. How many of us expected in 2011 for a PnF story around the biggest what if in the series. Certainly, they would save it for the finale, right? Nope.
38:53 in my opinion, Candace Against the Universe isn’t nearly as memorable as Across the 2nd Dimension or the other hour-long specials from the show. I can remember way more from episodes like Night of the Living Pharmacists, Last Day of Summer, and even OWCA Files.
Look I watched a ton of Phineas and Ferb back when it was at its peak. And I basically watched all of Disney Channel’s other shows in one way or another so I was used to their commercial break structure. I don’t remember that specific trailer airing but they were building up hype basically all summer and a lot of those clips were in the commercials promoting the movie that aired constantly. So in a way I still sorta had an idea of the plot from that.
I remember when Phineas and Ferb across the 2nd dimension came out. Yes I was young, but at least I could watch it on Disney Channel before Instagram or Vine even existed.
I never realized till now that Summer Belongs To You was NOT A MOVIE??? I remember so much more with that one (45-min) episode than these two movies combined which is kinda weird. Even the song itself was top tier.
Growing up as a huge fan of this show and watching every single episode and all content that i could (and being absolutely devastated when it ended), i love both movies but for very different reasons. To me CATU felt like just a normal (but longer) episode of the show- which i absolutely adored solely based on the fact that the movie came out years after the show had ended and the nostalgia and happiness of there being a new episode of the show is incomparable. Watching this movie for the first time made me feel like a kid again and that the show never ended, i was probably smiling the whole time and definitely cried at the end not wanting it to be over. 2nd dimension is truly the best in terms of being an actual movie, as the story and songs are far superior (summer and where do we begin is iconic) I love the huge action scene so much seeing so many callbacks to all the episodes, and seeing the characters act differently then normal is refreshing and adds a lot to the uniqueness and charm to the movie. i will always prefer watching 2nd dimension to CATU in terms of replay value, as there are plenty of normal episodes of the show that i would prefer to watch over CATU. So overall i’m grateful that both movies exist- 2nd dimension for the story and how different it is from the normal show, and CATU for bringing me back to this incredible word that i love so much and to a simpler and happier time.
43:52 honestly, I think they should’ve kept that title. “The Phineas and Ferb Movie: Candace Against the Universe” It still sorta makes it sound like “*The*” definitive movie, but it also works as just a description like “the P&F movie, Candace Against the Universe” in the same way that you might say “the P&F special, Summer Belongs to You” or “the P&F finale, Last Day of Summer”. But “Phineas and Ferb The Movie” makes it sound more official.
The biggest problem with CATU is in no way its fault. Because original PnF fans are mostly adults now (that doesn't mean they can't watch/enjoy the movie, just that they're not the main target audience), the writers have to explain the concept of the show as well as tell a new story. This in itself doesn't have to be a bad thing, but it does mean that a chain reaction happens The pacing suffers, therefore Superior songs have to be cut in favour of expositional songs, therefore Jokes have to be self reliant and not reference og PnF, therefore Og PnF fans feel let down/ignored
Yeah, I voted for the 2nd dimension myself, and I don't remember ever seeing the trailer for it, but I do remember the ads for it, and being really hyped when it was announced. 😆
I liked CATU, but I'm really gonna have to go with 2nd dimension. Not because of nostalgia, but also because they made Phineas & Ferb find out about Perry's secret identity (and then they 'work' together, which is wholesome) and I like how they made Candace a leader fighter(?) I would've never imagined her like that, lol. So 2nd dimension is the one.
"Across the second dimension" will always be my favourite Phineas and Ferb movie because of the game on psp but songs in the new movie are just incredible
Didn't they also cut the Milo cameo at the end, too? I would have loved to see that. Also, 100% agree with you on Us Against the Universe. I prefer the songs as a group from ATSD, but Us Against the Universe is the best thing they've ever done (and that's saying something).
During the second dimension, I actually cried the first time I saw perry walk away from them. I was around 4 or 5 watching it, and I just remember ugly crying.
I’m gonna be honest I am biased and that is why I like Candace against the universe so much. As an older sister the role Candace plays is so relatable on a spiritual level yet it has that unrealistic cartoony aspect to it that I love.
Interestingly, after watching halfway through, if there was a sponsor I wouldn't skip ahead. You're going so into detail and showing us so many clips that it just feels like it's the right thing to do. Nice video.
Yeah, and I remember that even when I watched the movie on TV as a kid, it always bugged me that it would come back from commercials and then Phineas would say the exact same thing he already said right before the commercials. But they should’ve cut it out on Disney+ because it’s even more weird without commercials. What surprises me though is that they must’ve left it like that on the DVD too, and I don’t understand why they would do that. Is it really that much work to cut out like 2 seconds so that the scene doesn’t immediately repeat back to back?
Candace Against the Universe was great but nothing can really touch how magnificent Across the 2nd Dimension was. There's a reason it was the highest rated telecast on basic cable for a while.
Phineas hand Ferb The Movie Across the 2nd Dimension set up the best villain in the series, had one of the most amazing plots ever, and has a special place in my heart among animated classics like The Lion King, Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker, and Bolt.
I saw your Shaggy & Scooby-Doo video and enjoyed it, same for the Amphibia reanimated video, but for some reason it took me until the end of this video to realize that all three videos were by the same person lol
Across the 2nd dimension is so fucking funny, that brief shot of Stacy with the monument to the “mysterious force” in this video almost sent me into hysterics just by thinking about that scene
I'm from Spain and I saw Phineas and Ferb across the 2nd Dimension in theaters; and from my personal opinion it's several hundreds of times better than Candace against the universe, I mean, I don't know why the comparation is even a question XD. The old movie had a plot with a lot of serious stakes, and that was something the show couldn't have. But the new one it's like an episode extended
Honestly the thing I’m most annoyed about in Candace against the universe is…….. it didn’t have a villain song. Now doof had a good chunk of songs in the series but no one really qualifies him has a villain. Every one knows villain songs are usually amazing and the best songs in anything they’re in. If super super big doctor had gotten an actual villain song right before she invaded earth that would’ve been actually really cool if it was done right. The original show really didn’t have any villain songs so it’s kind of a big missed opportunity
When it comes the CATU I really feel like what ended up losing it points here was what I really liked about it. I never really like 2D because it felt so different from the show, I felt it really pulled away from its original characters and almost felt more like a fan fiction or something than the movie for the show. I felt that CATU was a better movie representation of the show because it had the same feel as the show did, and I really enjoyed how it focused on Candace much more. I always felt bad for her watching the show, she was always beaten down time after time, and As an older sister of three little brothers who I have to yell at a lot for doing dangerous things, I understand her motives. She never really hated or disliked her brothers inventions she was really just worried for their safety and got annoyed when they messed up what she was doing. I feel I can relate a lot more to CATU than 2D. I felt the story was stronger and more emotional and character based than 2D. 2D always feels rushed and kinda edgy. I’m not even sure if these two are compatible, in 2D Phineas and Ferb go into Doof’s world and in CATU Doof goes into Phineas and Ferb’s.
Across the 2nd dimension is a certified hood classic I don't think I caught the original premiere but I remember catching a rerun and loving it and looking back I can say 2nd dimension is still good
I love how when I see this in my suggested, I just see your channel name underneath and I feel like the video's question was already kind of answered by your name lol
I liked Candace against the universe was my favorite because it was what really got me back Into phineas and ferb. Inbetween when phineas and ferb ended and when Candace against the universe came out I really wasn't into phineas and ferb but when it came out my older brother wanted to watch it and I joined him. That's what got me back into phineas and ferb. Candace against the universe will always have a soft spot in my heart
I gotta say, I noticed IMMEDIATELY noticed how weird the animation was in the first act. I couldn't have possibly missed Candace staring into my soul when my mom and I watched it
Across the 2nd dimension is such a classic, can never forget it. See this movie feels like something I can always watch like the 1st spongebob movie. You’ll never forget it, it’s memorable, and it blew everyone’s mind when it first came out
Actually, the movie did get a theatrical release in LA as well! It was definitely just a premiere thing, but it did come to theaters for 1 single day! I know because I went there in like 2011? 2010 and 2011 both blend together to me haha Also, I believe Radio Disney did the giveaway, so honestly Across the 2nd Dimension being a sudden announcement on the radio we heard, we went WILD
@@The2ndDimension it was fun! Sadly, the merchandise from the event is lost, as I was like 5-6 at the time. but the experience is definitely something i'll never forget!
I think Phineas & Ferb the movie across the 2nd Dimension is great and funny and Dan and Swampy really bring the humor and heart to Phineas and Ferb!🥰🤣❤💞🤖
I watched Candace against the universe with my family, as we watched it a lot when I was a kid so everyone in my family likes it. After it ended we all came to a very similar conclusion; The movie was rather average. The animation was good, the voice acting was strong as always, and the score was quite nice. But in total, the movie felt quite bland. Phineas and Ferb as a series had a lot of alien encounters, but the ones in this movie felt a lot more similar to their Star Wars special, which was an alternate universe. The music wasn’t as catchy as most phineas and ferb songs are, as I don’t think I can name a single one from the film. Some of the character interactions seem a bit off, like the small bit with Jeremy just didn’t feel particularly in character. The plot overall was quite week, and everyone gets roped into it. In an odd way, the plot doesn’t feel consistent with the show. It’s possible I’m being overly critical, or that I’m blinded by nostalgia, but Candace against the universe didn’t really do it for me. I could continue going on, but anyone reading this likely gets the point by now, and there are other comments to read. There is one main thing I will praise this movie on despite the obvious upgrade in general quality. Being Candace having an arch of some sort. She finally admits that she doesn’t feel special next to her brothers, and actually changes. Throughout the show she had fun with the boys, and even had regrets for her decisions, but it never lasted. Candace learns that to be special, she doesn’t have to try and get her brothers in trouble for what they do that is special. Overall, I enjoyed Candace’s arch, and the numerous improvements. But across the dimension is much more iconic, and sticks out more. To this day me and my family still quote lines from it, and writing this really makes me want to rewatch it. Across the 2nd dimension is bonkers, but it fits in so well with the show that the idea that Doof is evil just because he lost a toy train, fits with his other schemes so well, and the backstory’s behind them. Thank you for reading, Candace against the universe is not a bad movie in any way, but it my opinion it doesn’t fulfill the standards left by its show and movie predecessors.
I like Candance against the universe better, and always will, because it has a better story, the characters are better, and the animation is better, and the songs are awesome. Even when I was younger I wasn't really a fan of Phineas and Ferb across the 2nd demension, as I always slept through it, and Candance against the universe has way better action in the movie, and is funnier. I also love how they did a standalone film for Candance, as Candance has, and always will be my favorite character of Phineas and ferb because I identify with her as a young adult.
Amazing video on both movies! I would have to agree though that Phineas & Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension is the movie. I think Candace Against the Universe is more for nostalgia purposes because of the series ending in 2015. It brings back so many memories from the series. Songs in the movies I would have to say 2nd Dimension has amazing songs while Candace Against the Universe feels more like nostalgic songs. Overall, both movies are great in their own way but it’s a no brainer that 2nd Dimension was the winner.
I will probably get attacked for this since it's the internet and having opinions is apparently illegal to some people, but yeah, here are some of my own thoughts on each category(great video by the way, it was put together really well), also AT2D is Across the 2nd Dimension and CATU is Candace against the universe for those unsure. Poster 2-1 - CATU's favor, you already explained it well in your video, I don't need to repeat what you already said. Trailer 4-1 CATU's favor, same reason as you mentioned in the video. Marketing - 4-2, AT2D did it way better, CATU did have some marketing you didn't mention, but yeah, AT2D had some REALLY good marketing. Story - 8-4 in AT2D's favor. I think the story of AT2D is absolutely fantastic. There's not much more to say than that, it's the gem you never would have expected. CATU felt more like what a phineas and ferb movie would have been before AT2D had come out. It still has a good story, but nothing made could have compared to AT2D's insane quality of story. Original Characters - 4-2 in CATU's favor. Yeah, CATU was good with it's original cast being there for the whole movie. However, I think the few main original characters in AT2D were handled exceptionally well, and when the other OG characters are there, it feels really natural. However, CATU had the OG cast being there the entire time, so it takes the cake out of sheer quantity, which doesn't mean they were bad, it's just that all of them were there and were quite good, so they beat a few outstanding ones. New Characters - 4-2 in AT2D's favor. I loved alternate dimension Doof, Perry, Candace, Isabella, etc. Pretty much the whole cast of new characters was great, I just wish that more of them got actual arcs, since Doof and Candace were the only ones that did. Also, Super Super Big Doctor is entertaining, but when compared to AT2D, it's still not even close. Animation - 8-3 in AT2D's favor. Yeah, the animation in AT2D was better, you explained it well in the video, so there's no need to repeat. Comedy - 8-3 in AT2D's favor. Yeah, comedy in AT2D was better too, some of the comedy in CATU sort of felt like it was going for a different audience than AT2D, and yes this is a subjective thing, don't attack me for having an opinion please. Emotional Journey - 6-5 in AT2D's favor. I loved this one for a lot of reasons, for one it's just really a cool story, and the arc between Phineas and Perry was really cool and it felt really nice when instead of sending the ball flying with the tail, Perry sent the bat at Phineas to hit the ball with. However, the end where everyone has their memory erased HURT. Especially when Phineas was kissed by Isabella after asking if they would forget everything and said wait, it hurt even more with context from the show and also with knowledge from what happens in Season 4(Act Your Age specifically). Then, Perry's smile after Takin Care of Things ends, it's truly beautiful. CATU also had a good emotional journey, since Candace had always been played off as a joke since she was always so focused on busting the boys, here it is really taken seriously, and when she and the boys reconcile, it feels earned, as if the whole show had built up to them reconciling(even though it really makes me feel confused when it comes to the timeline) Pacing - 6-5 in AT2D's favor. I actually really liked the pacing in AT2D(but the thing with "So far it's not going as well as we'd hoped" playing twice was lame /: ), it felt more frantic, as if you can tell that it's for the fate of the entire world. Some of the points in CATU didn't really feel that way and felt like a waste of time. I still think CATU had really good pacing, but I am giving the edge to AT2D here. Cut Potential(but I'm actually going to have it be worth 4 points) - 4-4 in both movie's favors. Both movies have cut content that is really good, and although AT2D had more, I think that the songs cut in CATU were bangers. AT2D's cut song was also good, but not as good as the others cut in CATU. All the deleted scenes in AT2D were really cool, and I think that they were handled well, as it makes it clear that most of those things happened in the sequel to AT2D in season 4, which is really nice. The Score - 8-5 in CATU's favor. Again, I think music is subjective, but I just enjoyed the score in CATU a tad bit more than AT2D's score. As mentioned in the video, AT2D's score is sort of generic, it doesn't mean that the song isn't good, but still, it is sort of generic. CATU had a great score that felt cinematic. However, I felt like some points in the score, there is an intense buildup in the song into nothing, which felt disappointing, but it was still a great score. Songs - 8-3 in AT2D's favor. This one is very subjective. Even though I thought that CATU had some pretty solid songs, it doesn't compare to the NEXT LEVEL that AT2D's songs are. Pretty much all of the songs in AT2D are at least A tier, Robot Riot, Kick it Up a Notch, A Brand New Reality, and I Walk Away are all really good and have a great reason to be there. However, that barely scratches the surface of the masterpiece that is the remaining songs: Taking Care of Things, Everything's Better with Perry, and my all-time favorite song in the show, Summer, where do we begin. CATU does have some bangers, specifically Us Against the Universe and the deleted songs. Final tallies: 65 - 49. I really just think that Across the Second Dimension is an absolute gem of a movie, and Candace Against the Universe isn't too bad either. If I had to rank these two movies out of ten, it'd be this: AT2D: 9/10 CATU: 7/10 Sorry for the essay, I just really like phineas and ferb.
1:18 *Me:* well..... *looks at "The SpongeBob Movie:" movies* *Literally every spongebob movie title:* The SpongeBob Movie: *[insert second title name here]*
2nd Dimension movie was THE MOVIE for me. It addressed two major story beats that were constantly tossed around and mocked in the show: - What if the boys found out about Perry’s identity? - What if Doof succeeded? Candace against the universe doesn’t really do that but was definitely a great movie
It's been two years - I'd like to issue an apology to Snipple animation - they were actually the ones who worked on the final, beautiful 3rd of the film. It was likely Yearim who did the animation for the 1st 3rd of the film, on which my thoughts haven't changed. I plan to be more careful attributing credit in the future, as even though I don't definitively say it's Snipple here, it's been taken as fact throughout the community, and I feel partially responsible.
That's okay. I assume the mistake was made because of how the end credits list the animation studios in alphabetical order, and not necessarily that this studio animated this act specifically.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Snipple Animation is without a doubt one of the worst overseas animation services; it saddens me that one of The Philippines finest (and I use 'finest' extremely loosely) tainted one of my favorite Disney shows: Phineas & Ferb (ever since the sloppy 2020 sequel: Candace Against the Universe) and Hamster & Gretel (it would be a lot better if they had Patrick Warburton as Hamster instead of Beck Bennett). It's bad enough Toon City tainted SVTFOE and The 7D. I hope that Snipple won't work on P&F's potential return.
@@josephturner2999 Since you asked nicely, I'll tell you. When you look at Snipple's works on the shows they done, their work is terrible, especially when compared to better ones (by comparison): Wang Film Productions, Hong Ying Animation, Rough Draft Korea, Synergy Animation, Saerom, Sugarcube, Starburst, SMIP Co, Digital EMation Inc, Mercury Filmworks, Top Draw Animation, Sunwoo and Yearim. And don't get me started on Toon City.
@@josephturner2999 I appreciate you asking nicely, so I'll tell you. My go-tos for Dan & Jeff's shows are: Wang Film Productions, Hong Ying Animation, Rough Draft Korea and Synergy Animation. Hold the Snipple.
@@josephturner2999 Yes. Yes, it is all true, and the ideal animations that'll help H&G are the four I just told you. Another thing that'll help is that they got Patrick Warburton to voice Hamster, not Beck Bennett. He tries too sound like Warburton, but fails hard while doing so.
There can only be one "Phineas and Ferb: The Movie" the ultimate Phineas and Ferb adventure, with a quintessential plot line and perfect character moments, with it's high-stakes and it's truely Grand Adventure, it has to capture the essence of Phineas and Ferb better than anything before or since. It is of course:
"Summer Belongs to You."
Actually according to his Letterboxd account, 2nd Dimension found this overrated and gave this a 6/10. Crazy I know.
FACTS THO
AMEN BY FAR BETTER THAN BOTH OF THESE
The episode doesn't even surpass an hour and the stakes aren't exactly high.
I like the episode, but I do feel like it's overrated and much prefer the 44 minute specials in season 4.
@@joelblake5310 Phineas and Ferb is a very fast-paced show and it's average episode is 11 minutes long, it's pacing is perfect, so when one of their adventures is more than an hour-long it loses something that makes it feel a little less like Phineas and Ferb, that being said the 45-minute specials are always wonderful, so the quintessential Phineas and Ferb episode is 45 minutes long. The stakes could not be higher, if P&F fail they have to forego their whole worldview. They have to spend the rest of the summer doing nothing, and admit that summer is not what you make of it. These stakes threaten the essence of what Phineas and Ferb is about. If they fail, everything the show has worked for, and the message it tries to send out, die. The stakes could not be higher. There are great episodes in season 4 but nothing captures P&F the way "Summer Belongs to You" does. P&F is a show about making the most of your day, and this episode's premise is literally trying to make the most of the literal day. And the character growth for Candace, Heinz, and Vanessa in this one episode is immaculate and defines their characters for the rest of the show's run.
I think the reason why ATSD is so much better is because it explores everything that could never happen/wasn’t ALLOWED to happen in a regular episode. Phineas and ferb discover Perry’s secret. Doof takes over the tristate area. Isabella finally expresses her feelings to phineas. It finally gives the audience everything we’ve been waiting for.
And they can do all this because of the fact its all forgotten by the end
Though the Candance Against the Universe gave Candace huge character development.
I've always love Phineas & Ferb The movie across the 2nd Dimension because this shows A true Evil Doof and Phineas and Ferb knowing their pet Perry is a secret agent was a scene I'll never forget!❤👍😎🌟
Grow up
Yes agree. If people told me to grow up to forget something spectacular, then i Wouldn't want to grow up. Grow up suck, go away and just be suck alone.
I love how the true evil Doof had such a pathetic back story of just losing a toy train while regular Doof had such a scarring childhood from being disowned by his parents to being forced to be the family’s gnome every night in a row for multiple years
I'm plenty evil...
@@marijamarcelic3149 L
My big problem with CATU is that I feel like the concept I was sold on was 'interactions between characters that we didn't see a lot of together on in the show' - having Candace and Vanessa kidnapped together, or Doof working with the kids. But aside from the Doof and Isabella plot, we never really get to see that because the movie separates those groups of characters early on, in favor of the groups we're used to seeing. 2nd Dimension did something really unique, giving us a plot that the show never could have, while CATU feels a lot more like a typical episode extended to movie length.
Also CATU really should have had Stacy involved with Perry's plot.
Stacy deflecting meteors would have been great
Ah that’s a good point 🤔
man you just shattered my dreams for season 5 with that last part
@@TurretBotwdym?
@@champion1859 well this could easily just be me, but i kinda feel like the show doesnt really need more episodes as pretty much every interesting aspect already got explored pretty well, but then there was the stacy and perry interaction that just seemed so much like it was setting up something, literally anything but then it just never came back other than one throwaway line. so, my wishlist upon learning that there's going to be more seasons pretty much starts and ends with finally getting something with stacy and perry to pay this off
but then the comment pointed out quite correctly that they had all the reason to bring that up again in CATU and then didnt. that being said, in the 2 months it took me to remember to reply to this, i found out one of the confirmed season 5 episode titles is 'agent t for teen', so maybe not all hope is lost. maybe.
Something I love about 2D Doofenshmirtz is how he's a *huge* parallel to the original,like with his backstory,for instance. Doofenshmirtz didn't just have a tragic backstory. He had tragic backSTORIES. And he still ended up as a low-ranking villain (And eventually gave up evil)
2D Doof,on the other hand,literally lost a toy train,and went full evil scientist Hitler.
*I love this show so much*
Evil scientist Hilter 😂
Across the Second Dimension no contest. Candace Against the Universe is good but it's too similar to the Queen of Mars episode. The first song Such a Beautiful Day and Us Against the Universe are addicting though.
It is similar to Unfair Science Fair Redux, but I feel Candace Against the Universe did the premise much better.
@MaxFireson Yes, yes it is.
@@icecreamhero2375 the song isn’t called you and me against the universe it’s us against the universe
@@parrotproductionsYT Thanks for correcting me.
@@icecreamhero2375 it’s fine we all get the song names mixed up
Only one thing I forgot to say - Phineas's eyebrows are ELITE in Candace Against the Universe. Mad props to the board artists for giving us premium Phineas eyebrow content
My favorite character
It’s honestly odd when I realize one of the few times Phineas’s eyebrows are shown is when he’s mad, which is a rarity itself. But yeah, they definitely dialed it us, even when he wasn’t mad.
Hi The 2nd D, I love old movie. Ps can you please respond to the message I left in your DuckTales writers.
Ps the one from 5 maths ago.
say what you want about the soundtrack, the deleted song of Step into the great unknown is one of the best songs in the movie (had it actually been there) and is better than several of the songs that are in the final version of the movie
Hearing that across the 2nd dimension came out in 2011 hit me with 50 points psychic damage
11 year anniversary!
*you can feel your body growing old*
@@The2ndDimension 12 years anniversary
13 year anniversary! ❤🎉
I love both of the movies but I’d say 2nd dimension was just better over all. Candace against the universe was also great!
yep they're both great
Same here
2nd dimension is my favorite phineas and ferb movie
Across the 2nd dimension brings back hilarious memories I'll never forget the very first time I watched it....Candace against the universe was good too but I also think the 2nd dimension was better
@@riluszion4898 thats probably so
Candace against the universe feels like a special and that's it, not like a movie, the stakes don't matter since we know the ending, the characters are mostly already developed and the struggle Candace faces is the same she had when she went to Mars, it's great fun but it isn't as impactful as it could have been had it released before the show ended
Ratio + you fell off
Bro can we not fight
I fully agree, if we were to take away the stakes from both Candace against the universe doesn’t change much, while the 2nd dimension fully loses all it’s value
yeah it was obvious what would happen in the end since the show already ended and the movie takes place before the finale
If I had a Nickel for every time Disney made a Phineas and Ferb movie, I would have 2 Nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Isnt the last day of summer a movie too?
What about the starwars and marvel ones?
@@arandomlego5826 I think those are just extended episodes
Yeah marvel and star wars count as episodes because there also on the episode list unlike the 2 movies
theres a sequel to across the 2nd dimension also, i think its called "back to the 2nd dimension"
As a kid and seeing the 2nd dimension for the first time on Disney channel I was surprised to see Phineas and Ferb seeing Perry as an agent
The fact that the Nickel meme is used outside of Phineas and Ferb is how you know that movie popped off more
Yeah, I’d have to go with Across the 2nd Dimension has the better movie. Candace Against the Universe is good, but the first one is just more iconic and nostalgic. Also, I fully binge watched Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure and LOVED it!
Heck yeah!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
You only love it more BECAUSE you are nostalgic, that's the thing
@@MrCelashyeah but it’s also a better mpvie
I’ve only seen Candace Against The Universe once but I remember I really didn’t like the running gags going on for so long
And for the marketing, they actually did air the videos for Such A Beautiful Day and We’re Back on Disney Channel a lot, but I do agree the promotion for Across The 2nd Dimension was better
And since you brought it up: the song All The Convoluted Reasons We Pretend To Be Divorced from the sequel episode is so great 😂😂😂
IT'S SO GOOD I want to make a vid about that episode
While objectively Across The Second Dimension is the better movie, I always felt a special connection to Candace Against The Universe. It’s emotional journey is so perfect, I can forgive all of its flaws. Also Us Against The Universe is literally my favorite song of all time so there’s that.
US AGAINST THE UNIVERSE IS SO PERFECT
“Objectively Across The Second Dimension is the better movie” lol what
@@oliverplougmand2275 beluga is cringe
I think both movies are equally great but I'll always prefer 2nd Dimension. Candace Against The Universe still delivers basically everything I wanted from a Phineas and Ferb movie
10:56 They really underestimated how popular Phineas and Ferb still is. They play the reruns non stop on Disney XD.
33:05 well, even though it still bugged me whenever I watched the movie on TV, at least it was understandable because there was a commercial break. But they really should’ve cut that out on Disney+, because without commercials it feels really weird to see the scene repeated immediately.
100%. No reason to be there when all the other commercial breaks were fixed
Before I even watch the video, I just wanna say that I love how professional and official you are when it comes to cartoons and movies. Your analysis is always great, you cover all the points a fellow cartoonist wants to hear, and your humor is great.
Also...
ROBOT RIOT REPRESENT
Thank you so much!!! I love reading things like this - it means so much to know you appreciate all the effort I put into the vids! 🙏
Keep doing what you’re doing in that category
I think Phineas & Ferb the movie across the 2nd Dimenstion is still the best and the battle with Evil Doof and the songs are outstanding so I hope there will be a video about the teenage mutant ninja turtles!
The TMNT video demand continues!
The alternate dimension perry is a reference to the borg from star trek, so it's the whole second dimension since it's a lot like star trek's mirror universe, and it's not surprising since Dan, the p&f co-creator, is a huge trek fan.
Ooooh I didn't know that! Neat!
@@The2ndDimension Btw in Milo Murphy's law the creator of Dr. zone i think it's like a reference to Gene Roddemberry, the creator of star trek, and actually dr. zone can be considered a star trek alter ego in the p&f universe (but mostly inspired from doctor who and other sci-fi) btw time traveling doofensmirtz, becoming world wide famous for his invention can be also seen as a reference to zefram cochrane which is a character in the trek universe that invented the technology that allows faster than light space travel (and so space ships capable of reaching other planets in reasonable time), and becoming a symbolic historical figure for that.
@@piecaruso97 My impression was that Dr. Zone was supposed to be a Dr. Who thing. Since it’s a British time travel show
i didn't notice the animation differences too much when watching CATU but now that you've pointed them out it's painfully obvious. i remember thinking that the lines were too thick in the beginning of the movie, but i didn't notice how STIFF the animation was.
now if you'll excuse me, i'm off to watch Across the Second Dimension again-
Also I feel like Across the 2nd Dimension really showcases what P&F is about. Like it's packed full of the action but also the comedy of the actual show that again, it feels like an extended episode.
P&F: Candace against rhe Universe doesn't feel like a P&F movie? Like it's fine as a movie but doesn't really feel like it's P&F? If you know what I mean?
Not true
24:54 "Buford says something funny here" made me laugh *so* much actually this whole scene did Phineas and ferb's 4th wall breaks are some of the best jokes in the whole series
I remember watching Across the 2nd Dimension ad a kid. Stayed up late with my dad to see it. Loved it as a kid and still today
That's such a cool story! My sister got it for me on DVD for Christmas and that's how I first saw it!
@@The2ndDimension I saw it premier on Disney Channel UK itself.
Good times :)
Across the 2nd Dimension always will be my favorite. I mean, Multiversal Shenanigans are what I love! (Also why No Way Home is Top 3 Spider-Man movies)
MULTIVERSES ARE SO FUN
I remember when this came out, my divorced dad was coming to pick us up and it usually is a long drive to his house. But we waited so long for it to come out, so my dad was nice enough to drop us off at our grandmothers house just so we could all watch it together. We really cared about this movie. We used to hype up all these phineas and ferb specials. Especially the episode where they got busted. We would all get together with popcorn.
Robot Riot felt like Endgame for me as a kid seeing all those things come together
I really enjoyed both movies, but I think Across the 2nd Dimension is the better one in the end. After watching them the first few times, I actually liked CATU a bit more, but things somehow turned later on. At2D became my ultimate comfort movie, it's probably my most watched movie so far (and I've only seen it for the first time in October or November 2020), and it always helps me when I'm not feeling so well. This may probably due to the fact that 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz is my all-time favourite character (even though he certainly did bad things and I don't condone his actions). I'm not even Sure how that happened, when I first watched the movie I actually found him kinda annoying, but somehow he just stole my heart
Phineas and Ferb Across the 2nd dimension was special to me because PandF was my favorite back in my childhood and is nostalgic everytime I watch it.
On the other hand Candace vs The Universe marked the return of my favorite show after 6 long years and I got to see my favorite characters once again. So for me I enjoy Across the 2nd Dimension more and i agree that each has its own merits, but nothing can beat the feeling of nostalgia.
there may be too many jokes that go in for too long, but then again, the scene in teacher feature where Scott is dancing might be my favorite Milo joke ever soooo
I remember watching the 2nd Dimension when it came out and I still remember almost everything. I also watched Candace Against the Universe when it came out and I hardly remember anything. The 2nd Dimension also made me extremely emotional during the resolution because i truly cared about the main characters. Compared to the 2nd movie where I felt like the feel and emotions was all off from the original TV show.
The last part is cap
That's not true at all
The secondary design of the 2nd dimension poster was the cover of the book that was released alongside the movie
I much prefer it
It’s really hard for me to pick between the two movies, truth be told. I mean, on the one hand, I did appreciate Candace Against the Universe for having a more cinematic feel to the story, which I would argue matters heavily for a “The Movie” movie. Like, take any of the What’s New Scooby Doo era Scooby movies- they really just felt like extended What’s New episodes mostly compared to the likes of Zombie Island or even SCOOB. But on the other hand, Across the Second Dimension does feel like it’s a bit more consistent throughout, and a consistent level of quality really goes a long way for a “The Movie” movie.
I do think I’d ultimately agree Across the Second Dimension is better… but what if both use the “The Movie” moniker because it’s a big meta joke about how everyone forgot the first movie happened in universe!? …Nah, but that was a funny little idea I had when thinking of the reset button the first movie hit.
I will always believe that across the second dimension is the superior movie!
Me too 👍
AT2D is better for the sole fact that it has a much more interesting plot and deals with BIG things we’d never seen before. CATU just doesn’t seem to hit much new ground. The villain just turning on a whim absolutely blows in it, in AT2D it makes sense knowing the irrationality of the character and how it’s been set up earlier in the film, rather than just spouting the message to them and that just instantly doing it, while also being out of character.
AT2D also has a pretty fine emotional beat seeing as the not being able to communicate actually makes sense rather than direct misunderstanding of two language using adults.
There also felt like real stakes in AT2D. Brainwashing/body replacement, killer robots, literal death chambers filled with lava, etc.
And finally, the finale just has much more to it. Like, sure the side characters don’t get too much focus throughout the film. But at the end we see like, everyone we’ve met throughout the show with a song by the band we’ve know throughout the show. It just meshes so well and is a logical climax.
The us against the universe song is fine, but it doesn’t feel as good or actiony as robot riot, and the way it plays out just feels way more cheesy with everyone walking together side by side in choreography. It just really embodies “what a fun little romp” as if there’s no real danger. Like at least the song with slash is a non canon credits song.
I also feel like almost all the stuff CATU has that beats AT2D, is only because of modern times and hindsight.
-The trailer better? The old trailer fit a less artful time with bombastic narrators and such.
-better poster: hindsight
-better score: hindsight
-pacing: no commercials/hindsight
CATU isn’t bad per say, but it’s just not a story that embodies the show like AT2D does
I disagree
Us against the universe is the best song
Remember your opinion isn't a fact.
Like I love both films. But I feel if Candace against the univers got more marketing than just on Dan's TikTok it would of gotten more points and stuck with people more.
Plus Candace against the universe was made during Covid so it was judged a bit harshly
Across the 2nd dimension inspired mutiverse of madness and you can't change my mind
All of the MCU has been stealing stuff from Across the 2nd Dimension, ever since The Avengers.
I can see why 2nd Dimension is more appealing to y'all who never stopped watching Phineas & Ferb, but Candace Against the Universe really struck a chord with me. It seems to have been written with the understanding that most of its viewers know the basic plot structure of a Phineas and Ferb episode and vaguely remember certain details, but just haven't seen it in a while--which I appreciated, because that is exactly my deal.
Also, I tend to value the emotional core of a story a lot higher than anything else. Candace's arc felt way more real to me than the whole "my pet has betrayed me" thing. Although maybe I'm biased, I too am a woman with depression.
My favorite comedic line in against the universe is the axeinator
That's such a great bit!!
So here's my take:
Poster: Universe
Trailer: 2nd D, because I found it more epic
Marketing: 2nd D
Story: 2nd easily
Characters (original): Universe
Characters (new): 2nd D
Animation: This may be surprising, but Universe. Sure, the first act doesn't looks off and asteroid field looks bad, but I like all the other CGI and how it actually looks like a movie.
Comedy in general: 2nd D
Emotional journey: This is a close one, but 2nd D. I'm sorry, but I just couldn't feel bad for Candace.
Pacing: 2nd D
Edit: Okay, let me elaborate. I like the pacing for the first movie more because the second movie is an hour and 20 minutes long, but Doof and the gang don't even get to Feeblaoot until 26 minutes in, and we're only on the planet for about 45 minutes, not counting the sections with Doof and Vanessa.
Cut potential: I really don't know 🤷♂️
The score: Universe
Songs: 2nd D
Yeah, the winner is the first movie, and I still would have preferred it even if the second movie won.
Here’s my case for Candace against the universe. The characters and running gags and songs are what MAKES Phineas and Ferb and I think that Candace against the universe does a better job with that by a long shot. I also love Buford and baljeet and they felt like such an afterthought in the second dimension.
The fact I don't understand is after the end of Phineas and Ferb's The 2D Dimension, in another season of Phineas and Ferb Perry was still with them and they never forget about being the engineer or never forget about their pet after they memory being erased by the inator
It was clarified that only that day was going to be erased in the movie, not who they actually were. Remember that the entire movie happened in ONE DAY.
25:24 - 28:14, AKA, "Dan, your Family Guy roots are showing"
I remember playing a Phineas and Ferb across the 2nd dimension wii video game as a kid,after watching the film,and I loved it
I love it too! Especially the soda gun
What's great about AT2D is that it feels like a jump the shark moment WITHOUT jumping thr shark.
How many of us expected in 2011 for a PnF story around the biggest what if in the series. Certainly, they would save it for the finale, right?
Nope.
38:53 in my opinion, Candace Against the Universe isn’t nearly as memorable as Across the 2nd Dimension or the other hour-long specials from the show. I can remember way more from episodes like Night of the Living Pharmacists, Last Day of Summer, and even OWCA Files.
I feel sorry for y’all, if anybody says Candace against the Universe is the better one 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I didn’t even know there was second movie. I remember loving across the 2nd dimension as a kid, and the game too.
Look I watched a ton of Phineas and Ferb back when it was at its peak. And I basically watched all of Disney Channel’s other shows in one way or another so I was used to their commercial break structure.
I don’t remember that specific trailer airing but they were building up hype basically all summer and a lot of those clips were in the commercials promoting the movie that aired constantly. So in a way I still sorta had an idea of the plot from that.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I remember when Phineas and Ferb across the 2nd dimension came out. Yes I was young, but at least I could watch it on Disney Channel before Instagram or Vine even existed.
I never realized till now that Summer Belongs To You was NOT A MOVIE??? I remember so much more with that one (45-min) episode than these two movies combined which is kinda weird. Even the song itself was top tier.
Growing up as a huge fan of this show and watching every single episode and all content that i could (and being absolutely devastated when it ended), i love both movies but for very different reasons.
To me CATU felt like just a normal (but longer) episode of the show- which i absolutely adored solely based on the fact that the movie came out years after the show had ended and the nostalgia and happiness of there being a new episode of the show is incomparable. Watching this movie for the first time made me feel like a kid again and that the show never ended, i was probably smiling the whole time and definitely cried at the end not wanting it to be over.
2nd dimension is truly the best in terms of being an actual movie, as the story and songs are far superior (summer and where do we begin is iconic) I love the huge action scene so much seeing so many callbacks to all the episodes, and seeing the characters act differently then normal is refreshing and adds a lot to the uniqueness and charm to the movie.
i will always prefer watching 2nd dimension to CATU in terms of replay value, as there are plenty of normal episodes of the show that i would prefer to watch over CATU.
So overall i’m grateful that both movies exist- 2nd dimension for the story and how different it is from the normal show, and CATU for bringing me back to this incredible word that i love so much and to a simpler and happier time.
I love both but the first movie is better. But it doesn’t mean that the second one is bad too. Both are great but the first one just better
as much as I liked Both Phineas and Ferb Movies I'd feel like Across the 2nd Demension did it better with it's Story and Comedy
43:52 honestly, I think they should’ve kept that title. “The Phineas and Ferb Movie: Candace Against the Universe”
It still sorta makes it sound like “*The*” definitive movie, but it also works as just a description like “the P&F movie, Candace Against the Universe” in the same way that you might say “the P&F special, Summer Belongs to You” or “the P&F finale, Last Day of Summer”. But “Phineas and Ferb The Movie” makes it sound more official.
The biggest problem with CATU is in no way its fault. Because original PnF fans are mostly adults now (that doesn't mean they can't watch/enjoy the movie, just that they're not the main target audience), the writers have to explain the concept of the show as well as tell a new story. This in itself doesn't have to be a bad thing, but it does mean that a chain reaction happens
The pacing suffers, therefore
Superior songs have to be cut in favour of expositional songs, therefore
Jokes have to be self reliant and not reference og PnF, therefore
Og PnF fans feel let down/ignored
Yeah, I voted for the 2nd dimension myself, and I don't remember ever seeing the trailer for it, but I do remember the ads for it, and being really hyped when it was announced. 😆
Me too 👍
I liked CATU, but I'm really gonna have to go with 2nd dimension. Not because of nostalgia, but also because they made Phineas & Ferb find out about Perry's secret identity (and then they 'work' together, which is wholesome) and I like how they made Candace a leader fighter(?) I would've never imagined her like that, lol. So 2nd dimension is the one.
Snipple was definitely animating in PowerPoint
I like how you added the "Our Movie is Better than Yours" song
I'd say the pacing flows better for Candace Against The Universe since it's about 84 minutes while Across The Second Dimension is around 76 minutes.
Across the second dimension is probably a top 5 disney channel original movie. It's arguably the best Disney channel original cartoon movie
Absolutely! Animated DCOMs are a rare breed and they're so good
"Across the second dimension" will always be my favourite Phineas and Ferb movie because of the game on psp but songs in the new movie are just incredible
Both are amazing EVERY TIME I WATCH across the second dimension I always cry at the ending but I don’t like either one more I think their both amazing
Didn't they also cut the Milo cameo at the end, too? I would have loved to see that.
Also, 100% agree with you on Us Against the Universe. I prefer the songs as a group from ATSD, but Us Against the Universe is the best thing they've ever done (and that's saying something).
Good
Not gonna lie after watching this I'm gonna watch these movies back to back
The name of this channel legit answered the question
During the second dimension, I actually cried the first time I saw perry walk away from them. I was around 4 or 5 watching it, and I just remember ugly crying.
I’m gonna be honest I am biased and that is why I like Candace against the universe so much. As an older sister the role Candace plays is so relatable on a spiritual level yet it has that unrealistic cartoony aspect to it that I love.
Nice opinion
Interestingly, after watching halfway through, if there was a sponsor I wouldn't skip ahead. You're going so into detail and showing us so many clips that it just feels like it's the right thing to do. Nice video.
Candice against the universe looks like a flash animation
I think i know why that prahse 2 times
Maybe in the tv maybe there was a ad and then when it came back phineas said the same thing
Yeah, and I remember that even when I watched the movie on TV as a kid, it always bugged me that it would come back from commercials and then Phineas would say the exact same thing he already said right before the commercials.
But they should’ve cut it out on Disney+ because it’s even more weird without commercials. What surprises me though is that they must’ve left it like that on the DVD too, and I don’t understand why they would do that. Is it really that much work to cut out like 2 seconds so that the scene doesn’t immediately repeat back to back?
Candace Against the Universe was great but nothing can really touch how magnificent Across the 2nd Dimension was. There's a reason it was the highest rated telecast on basic cable for a while.
Phineas hand Ferb The Movie Across the 2nd Dimension set up the best villain in the series, had one of the most amazing plots ever, and has a special place in my heart among animated classics like The Lion King, Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker, and Bolt.
I saw your Shaggy & Scooby-Doo video and enjoyed it, same for the Amphibia reanimated video, but for some reason it took me until the end of this video to realize that all three videos were by the same person lol
Honestly did not know the Candace movie existed.
Exactly! How did it do so well if so few fans of the original series saw it?!
I might start a band callled Buford's Canoe.
Across the 2nd dimension is so fucking funny, that brief shot of Stacy with the monument to the “mysterious force” in this video almost sent me into hysterics just by thinking about that scene
I'm from Spain and I saw Phineas and Ferb across the 2nd Dimension in theaters; and from my personal opinion it's several hundreds of times better than Candace against the universe, I mean, I don't know why the comparation is even a question XD. The old movie had a plot with a lot of serious stakes, and that was something the show couldn't have. But the new one it's like an episode extended
Honestly the thing I’m most annoyed about in Candace against the universe is…….. it didn’t have a villain song. Now doof had a good chunk of songs in the series but no one really qualifies him has a villain. Every one knows villain songs are usually amazing and the best songs in anything they’re in. If super super big doctor had gotten an actual villain song right before she invaded earth that would’ve been actually really cool if it was done right. The original show really didn’t have any villain songs so it’s kind of a big missed opportunity
When it comes the CATU I really feel like what ended up losing it points here was what I really liked about it. I never really like 2D because it felt so different from the show, I felt it really pulled away from its original characters and almost felt more like a fan fiction or something than the movie for the show. I felt that CATU was a better movie representation of the show because it had the same feel as the show did, and I really enjoyed how it focused on Candace much more. I always felt bad for her watching the show, she was always beaten down time after time, and As an older sister of three little brothers who I have to yell at a lot for doing dangerous things, I understand her motives. She never really hated or disliked her brothers inventions she was really just worried for their safety and got annoyed when they messed up what she was doing. I feel I can relate a lot more to CATU than 2D. I felt the story was stronger and more emotional and character based than 2D. 2D always feels rushed and kinda edgy. I’m not even sure if these two are compatible, in 2D Phineas and Ferb go into Doof’s world and in CATU Doof goes into Phineas and Ferb’s.
Lol not compatible, comparable, 😂 autocorrect
Across the 2nd dimension is a certified hood classic
I don't think I caught the original premiere but I remember catching a rerun and loving it and looking back I can say 2nd dimension is still good
This is the most invested I've seen a person in Phineas and Ferb, and I love it
I love how when I see this in my suggested, I just see your channel name underneath and I feel like the video's question was already kind of answered by your name lol
I liked Candace against the universe was my favorite because it was what really got me back Into phineas and ferb. Inbetween when phineas and ferb ended and when Candace against the universe came out I really wasn't into phineas and ferb but when it came out my older brother wanted to watch it and I joined him. That's what got me back into phineas and ferb. Candace against the universe will always have a soft spot in my heart
I gotta say, I noticed IMMEDIATELY noticed how weird the animation was in the first act. I couldn't have possibly missed Candace staring into my soul when my mom and I watched it
Across the 2nd dimension is such a classic, can never forget it. See this movie feels like something I can always watch like the 1st spongebob movie. You’ll never forget it, it’s memorable, and it blew everyone’s mind when it first came out
Yea I loved 2nd dimension
Actually, the movie did get a theatrical release in LA as well! It was definitely just a premiere thing, but it did come to theaters for 1 single day!
I know because I went there in like 2011? 2010 and 2011 both blend together to me haha
Also, I believe Radio Disney did the giveaway, so honestly Across the 2nd Dimension being a sudden announcement on the radio we heard, we went WILD
What I would give to see it in a theater!!
@@The2ndDimension it was fun! Sadly, the merchandise from the event is lost, as I was like 5-6 at the time. but the experience is definitely something i'll never forget!
I think Phineas & Ferb the movie across the 2nd Dimension is great and funny and Dan and Swampy really bring the humor and heart to Phineas and Ferb!🥰🤣❤💞🤖
I watched Candace against the universe with my family, as we watched it a lot when I was a kid so everyone in my family likes it. After it ended we all came to a very similar conclusion;
The movie was rather average.
The animation was good, the voice acting was strong as always, and the score was quite nice.
But in total, the movie felt quite bland.
Phineas and Ferb as a series had a lot of alien encounters, but the ones in this movie felt a lot more similar to their Star Wars special, which was an alternate universe. The music wasn’t as catchy as most phineas and ferb songs are, as I don’t think I can name a single one from the film. Some of the character interactions seem a bit off, like the small bit with Jeremy just didn’t feel particularly in character. The plot overall was quite week, and everyone gets roped into it. In an odd way, the plot doesn’t feel consistent with the show. It’s possible I’m being overly critical, or that I’m blinded by nostalgia, but Candace against the universe didn’t really do it for me. I could continue going on, but anyone reading this likely gets the point by now, and there are other comments to read.
There is one main thing I will praise this movie on despite the obvious upgrade in general quality. Being Candace having an arch of some sort. She finally admits that she doesn’t feel special next to her brothers, and actually changes. Throughout the show she had fun with the boys, and even had regrets for her decisions, but it never lasted. Candace learns that to be special, she doesn’t have to try and get her brothers in trouble for what they do that is special.
Overall, I enjoyed Candace’s arch, and the numerous improvements. But across the dimension is much more iconic, and sticks out more. To this day me and my family still quote lines from it, and writing this really makes me want to rewatch it. Across the 2nd dimension is bonkers, but it fits in so well with the show that the idea that Doof is evil just because he lost a toy train, fits with his other schemes so well, and the backstory’s behind them.
Thank you for reading,
Candace against the universe is not a bad movie in any way, but it my opinion it doesn’t fulfill the standards left by its show and movie predecessors.
L + ratio + you fell off
CATU is a better movie
@@eftbro9963 I respectfully disagree, but I am glad you enjoyed the movie to such an extent
I like Candance against the universe better, and always will, because it has a better story, the characters are better, and the animation is better, and the songs are awesome. Even when I was younger I wasn't really a fan of Phineas and Ferb across the 2nd demension, as I always slept through it, and Candance against the universe has way better action in the movie, and is funnier. I also love how they did a standalone film for Candance, as Candance has, and always will be my favorite character of Phineas and ferb because I identify with her as a young adult.
Amazing video on both movies! I would have to agree though that Phineas & Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension is the movie. I think Candace Against the Universe is more for nostalgia purposes because of the series ending in 2015. It brings back so many memories from the series. Songs in the movies I would have to say 2nd Dimension has amazing songs while Candace Against the Universe feels more like nostalgic songs. Overall, both movies are great in their own way but it’s a no brainer that 2nd Dimension was the winner.
I will probably get attacked for this since it's the internet and having opinions is apparently illegal to some people, but yeah, here are some of my own thoughts on each category(great video by the way, it was put together really well), also AT2D is Across the 2nd Dimension and CATU is Candace against the universe for those unsure.
Poster 2-1 - CATU's favor, you already explained it well in your video, I don't need to repeat what you already said.
Trailer 4-1 CATU's favor, same reason as you mentioned in the video.
Marketing - 4-2, AT2D did it way better, CATU did have some marketing you didn't mention, but yeah, AT2D had some REALLY good marketing.
Story - 8-4 in AT2D's favor. I think the story of AT2D is absolutely fantastic. There's not much more to say than that, it's the gem you never would have expected. CATU felt more like what a phineas and ferb movie would have been before AT2D had come out. It still has a good story, but nothing made could have compared to AT2D's insane quality of story.
Original Characters - 4-2 in CATU's favor. Yeah, CATU was good with it's original cast being there for the whole movie. However, I think the few main original characters in AT2D were handled exceptionally well, and when the other OG characters are there, it feels really natural. However, CATU had the OG cast being there the entire time, so it takes the cake out of sheer quantity, which doesn't mean they were bad, it's just that all of them were there and were quite good, so they beat a few outstanding ones.
New Characters - 4-2 in AT2D's favor. I loved alternate dimension Doof, Perry, Candace, Isabella, etc. Pretty much the whole cast of new characters was great, I just wish that more of them got actual arcs, since Doof and Candace were the only ones that did. Also, Super Super Big Doctor is entertaining, but when compared to AT2D, it's still not even close.
Animation - 8-3 in AT2D's favor. Yeah, the animation in AT2D was better, you explained it well in the video, so there's no need to repeat.
Comedy - 8-3 in AT2D's favor. Yeah, comedy in AT2D was better too, some of the comedy in CATU sort of felt like it was going for a different audience than AT2D, and yes this is a subjective thing, don't attack me for having an opinion please.
Emotional Journey - 6-5 in AT2D's favor. I loved this one for a lot of reasons, for one it's just really a cool story, and the arc between Phineas and Perry was really cool and it felt really nice when instead of sending the ball flying with the tail, Perry sent the bat at Phineas to hit the ball with. However, the end where everyone has their memory erased HURT. Especially when Phineas was kissed by Isabella after asking if they would forget everything and said wait, it hurt even more with context from the show and also with knowledge from what happens in Season 4(Act Your Age specifically). Then, Perry's smile after Takin Care of Things ends, it's truly beautiful. CATU also had a good emotional journey, since Candace had always been played off as a joke since she was always so focused on busting the boys, here it is really taken seriously, and when she and the boys reconcile, it feels earned, as if the whole show had built up to them reconciling(even though it really makes me feel confused when it comes to the timeline)
Pacing - 6-5 in AT2D's favor. I actually really liked the pacing in AT2D(but the thing with "So far it's not going as well as we'd hoped" playing twice was lame /: ), it felt more frantic, as if you can tell that it's for the fate of the entire world. Some of the points in CATU didn't really feel that way and felt like a waste of time. I still think CATU had really good pacing, but I am giving the edge to AT2D here.
Cut Potential(but I'm actually going to have it be worth 4 points) - 4-4 in both movie's favors. Both movies have cut content that is really good, and although AT2D had more, I think that the songs cut in CATU were bangers. AT2D's cut song was also good, but not as good as the others cut in CATU. All the deleted scenes in AT2D were really cool, and I think that they were handled well, as it makes it clear that most of those things happened in the sequel to AT2D in season 4, which is really nice.
The Score - 8-5 in CATU's favor. Again, I think music is subjective, but I just enjoyed the score in CATU a tad bit more than AT2D's score. As mentioned in the video, AT2D's score is sort of generic, it doesn't mean that the song isn't good, but still, it is sort of generic. CATU had a great score that felt cinematic. However, I felt like some points in the score, there is an intense buildup in the song into nothing, which felt disappointing, but it was still a great score.
Songs - 8-3 in AT2D's favor. This one is very subjective. Even though I thought that CATU had some pretty solid songs, it doesn't compare to the NEXT LEVEL that AT2D's songs are. Pretty much all of the songs in AT2D are at least A tier, Robot Riot, Kick it Up a Notch, A Brand New Reality, and I Walk Away are all really good and have a great reason to be there. However, that barely scratches the surface of the masterpiece that is the remaining songs: Taking Care of Things, Everything's Better with Perry, and my all-time favorite song in the show, Summer, where do we begin. CATU does have some bangers, specifically Us Against the Universe and the deleted songs.
Final tallies: 65 - 49. I really just think that Across the Second Dimension is an absolute gem of a movie, and Candace Against the Universe isn't too bad either. If I had to rank these two movies out of ten, it'd be this:
AT2D: 9/10
CATU: 7/10
Sorry for the essay, I just really like phineas and ferb.
Don’t forget the two different Across the 2nd Dimension games, those were great
1:18
*Me:* well..... *looks at "The SpongeBob Movie:" movies*
*Literally every spongebob movie title:* The SpongeBob Movie: *[insert second title name here]*
2nd Dimension movie was THE MOVIE for me. It addressed two major story beats that were constantly tossed around and mocked in the show:
- What if the boys found out about Perry’s identity?
- What if Doof succeeded?
Candace against the universe doesn’t really do that but was definitely a great movie
Well, I appreciate both movies like, 2D Dimension is Perry's Movie, and CATU is Candace's Movie.
If we could fuse the good things from both movies into one movie, then it would be the ultimate Phineas and Ferb movie.
