Sneak Peek into “Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe”

Stars Ashley Tisdale (Candace), Vincent Martella (Phineas), Maulik Pancholy (Baljeet) and Dee Bradley Baker (Perry the Platypus) were joined by creators/executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh and director Bob Bowen to discuss the origins of the iconic animated series. The panel was moderated by Variety’s Michael Schneider.

Not only did the stars and creators discuss their love for the series and their excitement for “Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe,” but they also showed a sneak peek clip of the upcoming movie’s opening song, “Such A Beautiful Day.” The song is performed by Tisdale.

What can fans expect to see in this upcoming movie?

“Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe” is an adventure story that tracks stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb as they set out across the galaxy to rescue their older sister Candace, who after being abducted by aliens, finds utopia in a far-off planet, free of pesky little brothers.

During the panel, Michael Schneider asks Dan and “Swampy” what made them decide to focus on Candace this time around.

Dan’s response was:

“We had done so many stories. You know, we did 222 episodes and seven hour-long specials and another movie, and we were trying to think: What story have we not told? We’d never really had Candace be the hero of any of these stories. She’s almost always the antagonist, and to have her sort of be the thing that we’re following…and we’d never put anybody in any danger in the show…Let’s put Candace in actual jeopardy and put some real stakes in there so the boys have to go and find her and bring her back.”

This epic adventure will premeire on Disney+ on Friday, August 28.
