I certainly agree with your opinion of “Across the Third Dimension”. That seems like taking the easy road of a sequel, though, and we know Dan and Swampy want nothing but to avoid clichés.

To be perfectly honest, I would also like the movie to conclude the series. Phineas and Ferb has been an extremely prominent aspect of my life – seeing its quality entertainment/morale degraded would really, genuinely hurt. I think it was mentioned once in the series, but if you love something, you have to let it go. I don’t want Phineas and Ferb to last forever, solely because it would burn out. It should be remembered as nothing less than a Disney classic; Dan and Swampy deserve that.

IMHO, the movie should see the last day of summer explored. Evidently, Phineas would feel contempt; that holds great potential to strengthen the ‘carpe diem’ adage. Maybe he’ll attempt to relive the summer, construct a machine that extends it, etc. But it’s not about seizing yesterday, he would realize; it’s about seizing the day you’ve been granted. That would be such a lovely conclusion and rightfully do the series justice.
