User blog:Topher208/What we actually know about Across the 2nd Dimension

In order to try and end the rampant speculation about the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie, allow me to lay out what we actually do know about the movie and its release dates.

Plot

 * "In the movie, Phineas and Ferb discover that their beloved pet platypus, Perry, is really a secret agent who battles the forces of evil daily. The boys team up with Perry on a grand adventure through a parallel universe where they must ultimately thwart an even more evil version of Dr. Doofenshmirtz."


 * "When Phineas and Ferb accidentally help the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz complete his latest creation that will finally take control of the Tri-State Area, they get zapped into a new dimension, where they meet their alternate selves! In this new dimension, Dr. Doofenshmirtz is the leader of the Tri-State Area, and even worse—summer vacation doesn't exist! Will Phineas and Ferb figure out a way to get back to Danville, or will they be stuck in this alternate dimension forever?"

Release Date
The movie will be released sometime in Summer 2011. I currently have an email out to Swampy Marsh to see if he can confirm or deny the release date for us.
 * Wikipedia & IMDb claim the release date is June 24th. These sites, like this one, are able to be edited by anyone and thus open to the same wild guessing that is happening around here.
 * Laura Dickinson, protege to composer Danny Jacob, is on record as claiming that the release date is June 24th, but there is mounting evidence that leads many to believe this is not correct.
 * Due to her relatively low-ranking position on the crew, she may not know the exact date and is using the internet date.
 * She cites other internet rumors on POPcast: "Michael Bay is one of the producers, Kevin James is in the movie, Sigourney Weaver, and I'm just really really excited."
 * As of May 19th, there have been no promos or advertising on Disney Channel or Disney XD and no other official announcements have been made on Disney Medianet.
 * The LA Times Show Tracker gives a release date of "early August" while giving out other info about Season 3's guest stars.
