Forum:Building up the hype for Act Your Age

Ha anyone notice the people who work on this ep have be trying to build up for act your age b=like calling one of the best p&f ever ep ever. Than you have dan and jeff are talking about how this ep will be a tearjerker make it look like it more than one of those 15 mins ep.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 02:25, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Honestly, if this turns out to be a 22 minute episode (30 minutes with commercials), that would make much more sense because of all the hype and teasers that's being pulled out so far. After all, I don't think an 11 minute episode would serve justice to the "relationship episode" that was (sort of) announced over 2 years ago (can't remember source, Swampy confirmed on Twitter). For some reason, I feel that if it is 11 minutes, we're going to get a riot from all the shippers in the world even if it's "the best P&F episode [the writers] have ever written" (https://twitter.com/berniepetterson/status/335258064678699008) because 11 minutes won't serve justice for the episode that everyone is waiting for. -->


 * On a side note, I have full trust in Dan and Swampy and the writers (Bernie Peterson, Kim Roberson) on what they plan to do with the episode, though I don't think the end result is going to be what we're all hoping for (if you know what I mean). My end analysis: Don't expect Phineas and Isabella to end the episode in a dating relationship. Maybe we'll end up getting a confession of Isabella's feelings, inspiring the Unnamed Isabella/Phineas Song or something, but who knows. I think that Vincent Martella has pointed out that he recognizes that there is "something" there [between them], but that Phineas is so honest that he doesn't need to say anything. And of course, my speculation for the episode (and this is a huge throw, but you might like it): Isabella confesses, but Phineas says he already knew, and thought it was so obvious (which is a huge turn from oblivious Phineas) that he didn't feel the need to point it out. Now how's that for a twist? Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 12:06, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Got to think will this be out of the mormal without a candance trying to bust her brothers and doof/perry sidestoryCtgrumpybear (talk) 14:16, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I swear, considering with all the "centralized" episodes they've had in season 3, if they don't make this another one of those "character centered" episodes, then it will be slightly disappointing. Unless they end up using one of those running tags as a plot twist of sorts - ex. Stray fire from an -inator hits character A causing something. Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 15:38, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I found this link from robert huges twitter that the word phinabella will be used in the song/episode (https://twitter.com/hellofathead/status/294829977558466560) 2fab4u (talk) 02:50, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh man. In a few moments, all the shippers will be crawling all over this. Does he mean that the word "Phinabella" will be stated somewhere in the episode, or does he mean that it will be in the song? Usually, couples don't use "couple names" for themselves, so I don't think Phineas and Isabella are going to be saying "Phinabella" any time soon. As a throw out there, Buford, on the other hand, would be an amazing tease to just keep saying that throughout the entire episode. Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 13:07, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Buford does seem to be the most likely to use portmanteau - I'm harkening back to his 100 cheese puns. But looking at the tweet, it seems that the term will be used in the song, so I'm wondering how that could work. Maybe each of the two says half of the word and it gets spoken that way? Sun Beater 3K=talk= 14:22, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * He also said the episode would be "unique." While I'm probably stretching here, I'm guessing this episode will at least slightly break its usual pattern and put the majority of its focus on Phineas and Isabella. Black Spiderman (talk) 14:26, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, I read the tweet wrong, it appears to confirm that the song will have the word "Phinabella" in the song . Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 20:47, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Phinabella could be part of the title of the song and it unique you could be right about it being centered arounfd phineas and isabellaCtgrumpybear (talk) 19:35, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's also quite possible Phinabella ends up being the actual title of the song. Wouldn't be surprised, but I asked both Dan & Swampy on Twitter and neither has given me an answer yet. Can't blame them for not wanting to spoil it but a response would be nice. Black Spiderman (talk) 19:47, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * That is normal it rare for them to answerCtgrumpybear (talk) 20:13, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think they have a name for it yet, as mostly all the names are tenative with this episode including the episode name itself. Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 20:42, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

It's been confirmed that the episode will be 30 minutes long. As a side note, Hughes states (yet again) that the episode will be "unique". (https://twitter.com/hellofathead/status/372814976181739520) Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 20:49, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sound like Sidetrack where the ep was centered around doof and perry so this ep may be centerd around phineas and isabella and everyone take a backstage. the unique part could be the fact it is a tearjerker and we only got that couples times in phineas and ferb. Got to think if they will air this around valentine day seeing what the main part of ep is about.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 15:14, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * That would be amazing if they were going to air it on/near Valentine's Day. Let's see, on the Spreecast Interview back in March, Dan stated that it would air 10 months from now, but Robert F. Hughes later said on Twitter that he hasn't even finished the animatics yet, and that was sometime in June. Who knows? Maybe we'll be lucky and get it in somewhere around Feburary, but I highly doubt that. I'd expect the episode to air within April/May/June.


 * Back to your main topic, the centralized episode (which I've been talking about up top and made a new topic for) is probably a maybe, but considering the 30 minute episode they're able to add more stuff than they usually do. Most of the reason for the 30 minutes in Sidetracked was because of the new characters and the fact that they had a guest actor. Then again, Phinabella is one of the most important aspects of the show (as for some reason some people use this as their ONLY reason for watching the show), so they'll have much room to expand upon that. Swampy favorited a tweet asking if this was the "relationship advice" episode, which many people took to be a yes of sorts; eh, there's so many aspects to here that they could possibly play with, which makes it all so exciting. Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 16:12, August 29, 2013
 * (UTC)

The eps that they have made 30 minutes was because there is more to the storyline like the christmas eps and the beck. It just a guessing game right now if this phinabella centered or with it have other storylines in in too

Ctgrumpybear (talk) 15:05, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

We all know that disney will hype the living heck out of this ep when it air like having tons of ads for it and having sometime of marathon of eps where they can tied into the story for act your ageCtgrumpybear (talk) 19:14, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Any idea of when the episode is coming out? How long would the post-production take?Mbuffalo98 (talk) 01:17, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

I'm thinking that the whole "Act Your Age" angle might have something to do with Doofenshmirtz's -inator like it causes people to act immature.--I look better in a lab coat than a fedora (talk) 05:07, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

If you look close enough at the picture, you can see Phineas. https://twitter.com/DanPovenmire/status/423222657383792640/photo/1 Schwamifan13 (talk) 00:18, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

I can barely see anything the pic is so blurry. It kind of resembles a scene in the "What'cha Doin" song. But I'm still crazy excited! Black Spiderman (talk) 00:59, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

I messed around with it in a photo editer.Schwamifan13 (talk) 01:08, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

I don't have a photo editer at hand so lucky you. If you were willing or able to post your edited pic that would be much appreciated. Black Spiderman (talk) 01:14, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

It's in the gallery of the episode. It is still hard to see but you can still see parts of phineas. Also I am going to add the link to the photo editer I used.http://pixlr.com/editor/ Schwamifan13 (talk) 01:49, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

I think I can see parts of him but it is hard to tell. I can't even tell Isabella's expression and people on Twitter are saying that she's sad. It's hard to tell. Black Spiderman (talk) 02:48, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

I agree. If you can't even see Phineas, how can you see Isabella's expression?Schwamifan13 (talk) 02:55, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

My personal opinion, gathered from the song, is that Phineas is shocked to hear that Isabella likes her. "All that's left, the thought of what could've been done," is most likely Phineas realizing that all this time he could have perhaps told her that he has at least small feelings.

"Why couldn’t I see,

I should have known,

I should have said, If I’d only known! You was always there You asking me what I'm doin', ..."

Is most likely Phineas realizing how oblivious he was to not realize that she had feelings for him. "I should have said" is probably him saying he should have said something about his own feelings as well..?

Just my personal opinion. Dolphinluvr16 (talk) 22:17, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

On Twitter, Rob Hughes compared the Phineas/Isabella song to the duet in West Side Story, if that means anything. https://twitter.com/hellofathead/status/419645394352476160  Black Spiderman (talk) 23:58, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

I think the lyrics "All that's left, the thought of what could've been done," means Isabella is leaving and Phineas realizes his feelings for Isabella in my opinion but I could be wrong. Also you need to fix that link Black Spiderman.Schwamifan13 (talk) 00:45, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

It's fixed now. Black Spiderman (talk) 00:58, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Schwamifan13, I think you're very correct. Perhaps Isbella must move away (Explaining the chest she has in the one picture...)  and Phineas realizes how much she actually means to him, and perhaps realizes what "love" really is. I'm sure by the end of the episode Isabella doesn't have to move away, however. Dolphinluvr16 (talk) 17:25, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

In the picture, it isn't a chest, it's a tool box. Also i'm glad someone agrees with me and has a good idea for the story line.Schwamifan13 (talk) 20:06, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that the picture looks just like a part from RollerCoaster the Musical. It makes me wonder if the song is going to be a mixture of a slideshow of phineas and isabella moments and both of them singing.Schwamifan13 (talk) 22:06, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

That's what I thought. Maybe it's a flashback. But people keep saying they see Isabella sad in the pic and parts of Phineas but it's too bright to tell! I also think Dan & Swampy took the pic like that on purpose so they wouldn't give away any spoilers! Very clever. Black Spiderman (talk) 22:17, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Schwamifan: Yes, it does look like a tool box now that I see it. I don't see how people find Isabella looking sad, but the song is very emotional so perhaps she is tearing up with happiness as they sing. They are being very clever in giving away almost nothing about this episode.Dolphinluvr16 (talk) 22:43, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

That depends on where in the episode that shot is. It could be the beginning of the episode for all we know, and I doubt the duet would be that early. Black Spiderman (talk) 23:33, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

So, I heard rival show SpongeBob SquarePants is rising from the ashes with a new special coming out Feb 17. I CHALLENGE EL TO AN AIROFF, WHICH EVER EPISODE AIRS EARLIEST WINS!!!!!!!! LET'S GET ACT YOUR AGE OUT FEB 7!!!!!!! WE CAN DO IT IN 18 DAYS!!!!!!!!!Mbuffalo98 (talk) 02:31, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

I doubt it'll be done by then. Looks like they're still in post and networks typically wait to air completed episodes, at least as far as I know. I'd love for it to air in February but I doubt it. Black Spiderman (talk) 03:49, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Then when would be a good guess for when it airs? (actual date would be nice)Mbuffalo98 (talk) 04:12, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

I'd assume either March of April. Last March when Dan alluded to the scene that would make us "burst a blood vessel" he said we'd have to wait "about a year." That was on March 30. Of course that's just my guess. I could be totally wrong and if that means it airing earlier I would gladly be wrong. Black Spiderman (talk) 04:34, January 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sometime before Easter (4/20, oddly my birthday) would be about right. so 8-12 more weeks. IaLL's not here, he's in coat town. 17:09, January 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * I checked Dan's twitter and I found this. The only question is whats ADR?

 * I had to look it up and found out that ADR stands for Automated (or Automatic) Dialog Replacement. ~ KinHikari ♪  Minogasenai akiramenai.   Yume ni todoku made wa.  ♪ 20:50, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

I'm excited! Maybe there will be a part where Isabella suspects the PFT song Gitchee Gitchee Goo is about Phineas's love to her, since he mentions the word "baby" a lot. Fear Not! (talk) 20:57, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

On Twitter I learned that postproduction for different shows varies in length and in some cases, like the Simpsons, it goes right up to the airdate. So for all we know they might decide to air it a week after it's delivered to Disney. I don't expect that to happen but it could. Black Spiderman (talk) 21:28, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

I bet once there finished they'll use the air date to mess with us.Schwamifan13 (talk) 22:02, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

I just saw a ad on youtube in german but i could still understand it a little. It was saying that there were new episodes coming out in February. So Act Your Age could actually be one of those episodes but I could be wrong.

Did anything in that ad look like it might be from Act Your Age? Black Spiderman (talk) 23:29, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

No but it at the end it talked about a episode but I could not understand what the episode was. It could have been the Klimpaloon episode.Schwamifan13 (talk) 23:39, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

I think Act Your Age would be the more likely answer because it's been talked about more and we know it's in post. The Klimpaloon episode was only recently announced. But I could be wrong. Black Spiderman (talk) 23:44, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

It seems more likely Act Your Age but it could be a different episode. I will leave a link for it.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhzbECCLyBc) Schwamifan13 (talk) 23:52, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

I just watched the video and I couldn't understand it either but it didn't look like it talked about either the Klimpaloon episode or Act Your Age, Plus, on Instagram when Swampy was asked if the episode would air next month, he responded "probably not." Which means it's probably likely it'll be either March or April. Of course they could still surprise us. Black Spiderman (talk) 04:35, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

I agree, I think there going to say it's not coming out in February but it will. Also depends what the date was when it was asked. That would tell us if there messing with us or not.Schwamifan13 (talk) 10:36, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Keep in mind the week of February 10th Disney is promoting Good Luck Charlie's series finale. So they might be focused on that and thus wouldn't put this episode in that slot to air. Black Spiderman (talk) 17:17, January 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Though they could put another episode there, since that is/was a Sunday night series, not Friday night, just not AYA. IaLL's not here, he's in coat town. 17:41, January 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * They could. We'll probably get Disney's February schedule sometime next week. By then we'll know whether or not the episode is airing next month. I still doubt it but I would love to be wrong. Black Spiderman (talk) 18:18, January 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * It kinda pf funny it Act your age is the ep the Phineas and ferb crew are trying to hype up the most i mean not ever the star war or 2-d ep have been up at all. Now I going becareful with them hyping up any ep because they could love it but the fans hate it. One of the case I seen for that is the Ben 10 ep'couples retreats" That the ben 10 crew hype up time. At that time there two more poular couples would ben/julie & Gwen/Kevin. They say the fans would love but in the long run the ep focus was on a couple only seen in fan fictions and gwen/kevin who would that show's Candace/Jeremy. What I mean by that is it poular but the show over use them too much.The ep was bad and the fans hate the ep still today. So if they are trying reach out to the phinabella fan base than just have the main part phinabella and don't try put some candace/jeremy story in it. With the ep airdate you know may try air in on easter weekend because they know kids are at home and they could see big ratling for this ep.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 19:53, January 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * The February schedule just came out for Disney and the only episode scheduled for Phineas and Ferb is "Imperfect Storm." So it's officially safe to say that "Act Your Age" is not airing on Valentine's Day. Also on an unrelated note, is anyone else annoyed at the fact that they only do one episode a month now? Black Spiderman (talk) 22:55, January 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * When will the March schedule come out?Schwamifan13 (talk) 00:34, January 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Probably this time next month. As more time passes I'm beginning to think we won't see this episode before summer. I hope that is not the case because I know everyone on crew loves this episode and says it's one of the best they've ever done. Of course it's up to Disney to decide when it airs. Black Spiderman (talk) 00:53, January 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I saw in the recent activitys that Imperfect Storm is not going to be in February. So there is a chance Act Your Age was meant to go there but they made a mistake.Schwamifan13 (talk) 10:34, January 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * If it was meant for Februrary, then it would've been added to the updated schedule; instead, the new schedule has no new Phineas and Ferb episodes for February, althought Swampy Marsh on Twitter did allude to the episode "Live and Let Drive" premiering on March 1st Black Spiderman (talk) 15:43, January 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I just thought about something. What if Isabella falls in love with a different guy and Phineas gets jealous and he tells Isabella his feelings. I could see it happening.Schwamifan13 (talk) 21:51, January 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. At the 2012 Comic Con, Dan and Swampy said the one thing they wanted to avoid was the classic cliche of giving Isabella a "rival" for Phineas, because her biggest rival, according to them, is "Summer." Black Spiderman (talk) 22:48, January 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I just thought about something. If Act Your Age is before the Star Wars crossover, what will it be like between Phineas and Isabella in the Star Wars episode? That would explain why we haven't seen much pictures for the Star Wars crossover.Schwamifan13 (talk) 02:52, January 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * No, we probably haven't seen any pictures yet because it's probably being animated overseas. It was the same thing with this episode, and any episode. And it wouldn't affect just the Star Wars episode, it would affect every episode that comes after it. Black Spiderman (talk) 03:44, January 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've noticed that episodes have been infrequenct and hard to come by lately, and I'm wondering if this particular episode is the reason for it; like Disney is trying to set it up so new episodes come banging out leading up to this one. Black Spiderman (talk) 00:46, January 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * I have a hunch that Act your Age might be a surprise Valentine's Day episode since it falls on a Friday this year. Maybe Disney's not saying anything about it even in their weekly lineup bumpers. Perhaps that's why the crew took about a month hiatus to work on postproduction so it could be ready in less than 3 weeks.  Cakeface33 (talk) 21:09, January 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * I have doubt. I just came across this tweet from a couple of days ago from Swampy who basically came out and said that the episode was "not done." ( https://twitter.com/mmonogram/status/426445681566289920 )
 * So unless they're expediting it and Disney is making a last-minute change that we're completely unaware of, I think we have to wait a little longer. But it does sound like they're close. Of course then it depends on how long Disney wants to wait after it is finished to air it. Black Spiderman (talk) 23:57, January 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * I just found a tweet today about the crew having an official screening of the episode so it's probably ready. I'm not an expert on producing television but maybe Disney will annouce the episode within Valentine's Day week at the last minute to rack up giant ratings. I suppose that way it'll have the fans that have been watching the crew like a hawk do a rodent scramble of sorts to prepare. I guess even if Disney did think to rush it out this month they would have it labeled a classified episode,but they product is basically finished. I think the crew are done with it at this point. Cakeface33 (talk) 00:39, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * I saw that tweet. It's amazing to me that they continue to tease us fans with that particular episode and they definitely enjoy it. I still don't think February is going to happen because we have to take into account that Disney, not Dan or Swampy, decide the airdates. Theoretically, they could wait until the summer to air this if it is indeed done. I don't think that'll happen either, but it's something to think about.
 * If indeed it is done, then we'll surely get it soon. Black Spiderman (talk) 01:51, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure Dinsey's in charge of the airdates but it doesn't make sense for something that has been hyped by fans(maybe not on a grand scale where even the eight year olds are waiting for it but big enough)and been looked out for since about two years ago(ever since Sept. 2011 when a lot of people saw the Phinabella Kiss) to be finally put on schedule quite late. Maybe if not on Valentine's Day,shoot for March-May,but I have a great doubt that it'll get released in summer like a lot of the other specials(unless merch has been commissioned which I doubt) but it's coming really soon so maybe we're all off because of the excitement. Cakeface33 (talk) 02:25, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * In fact if you think about it, it was teased all the way back in July of 2011; a little girl asked if "Isabella would ask for advice from Candace about relationships" and Dan replied "That's actually going to happen in an episode." So in essence this episode could be three years in the making. Black Spiderman (talk) 02:37, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah,it's really hyped up. The paranoid side of me sort of thinks that just the adult/teenage audience are anticipating it,but that's probably not true. Point it,the wait is almost over,fanboys! Get your countdown clocks ready,cause it's PAF time!Cakeface33 (talk) 03:44, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'd be very shocked if Disney decided at the last minute to put this episode on the schedule for February. But given that they just had a "screening" of the episode for the cast members, it's possible. I don't know what to think! Black Spiderman (talk) 04:21, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think at this point,it's quite likely it might happen. They've been working for this since December 2012(with a Twitter update of Vincent Martella killing a song for the special) and a lot of people have been hyping it(not just the fans but Dan,Jeff and Robert all have hyped it quite a bit) to be one of the greats in terms of episodes.  That's a long time back in terms of just a 22 minute episode. Think about it:if they've been working with evidence since Dec. 14th,ten months pass with would be about Oct 13 so that's a few good months to make sure it's nice and checked for TV. So check the Twitters often because there will be spoilers!Cakeface33 (talk) 05:38, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * So the logical explanation is that it's done and now we just have to wait for it to air! So it shouldn't be much longer. March might still be a possibility, assuming that Disney doesn't schedule it at the very last minute for February Black Spiderman (talk) 16:38, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Wait, so if they just did the screening.....that means it's done, so now we just have to wait!?!?!?!?!??!?! Mbuffalo98 (talk) 17:50, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's what it looks like. But I have a feeling if the episode is really as good as they say it is they'll want to put it out as soon as they can. Black Spiderman (talk) 18:21, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * They could put it out this month as a suprise but they said there not done and even though they had a screening that doesn't mean there done. They could just be looking for mistakes and fixing them.Schwamifan13 (talk) 19:51, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Couldn't they do that before having a formal screening? Isn't that what it's for? To watch the final, finished product? Black Spiderman (talk) 20:39, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * It can be for a final product,but if there's stuff to wrap up and edit like a lot of the animation errors the PAF community has spotted over the years) they can do that within a week. If AYA gets released as a surprise Valentine's Day special event,they must give the episode to Disney before Val. Day week starts so they can schedule it. Disney might have a few tricks up their sleeves. For example,I noticed that all this week Mon-Fri, KIM POSSIBLE is airing 10AM and 3PM so that might be evidence of the petition at work. Disney might be more sneaky then we originally concieved so who knows what will happen! Cakeface33 (talk) 20:53, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * You might be right. If you remember, Aliki T. Grafft tweeted back in December that she saw the animation of Act Your Age when it came back during the week of Dec. 8 so that was probably the initial screening. This more recent one that was tweeted out was possibly for the final product or just to wrap up some last minor details. I suspect we'll know more within the coming weeks. Of course, I've been saying that for months now and have been mostly wrong every time so who knows? Black Spiderman (talk) 00:05, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think the anticipation has us saying early dates we know aren't gonna come,but this might actually be the date. To be fair,who wouldn't be exicted for this?! Akili(one of the main Phinabella pushers) got to work on it and it's built up to be an epic tearjerker of a tale,sort of like Lion King and that assumption is said to be correct. Tragedy strikes within the first act,has great songs,aweosme development on the romance anda gret big resolve. While that is merely a prediction,I stand by it firmly. I'm sort of sad I wasn't too active in this community in the past 4 months(even if I wrote PAF stories in spirit) because so much has happened with AYA.


 * So yeah,they were talking a bit more about this earlier but now they're all hush hush about the subject. We can only predict the best. Besides,Disney has been the one to make bad desicions so they might add a surprise ep to raise the stakes. They haven't been getting too much action in terms of expanding their properties other than Disney Channel,Disney XD and Pixar. So with having a test week for KP to see if the audience is there or not,PAF might air on Disney XD that night we don't know! Just keep your eyes peeled for details. Cakeface33 (talk) 00:28, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Aliki said the episode "wouldn't disappoint" but she didn't work on it. She even said she didn't work on it. But yeah I do remember her and Dan & Swampy saying the song and the episode made them cry, so it should be great. I'm hoping we get it soon, but I'm not holding my hopes up on February. March maybe. Black Spiderman (talk) 01:27, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well,I'd like to think she influenced it in someway since she has advocated for Phinabella moments in the past. She tweeted once about a missing few seconds in Excaliferb! where Izzy the water sprite would give a goodbye kiss to Phineas on the nose. So,I still hold hope for Feb 14th but it's not too bad if that's not the date since the thing is pretty much finished.Cakeface33 (talk) 01:40, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't recall a tweet about that. Do you have a link by any chance? And as for the date, I still think February's not happening, just because we would've seen it on the initial schedule. They could add it at the last minute and I would not oppose if they did. Black Spiderman (talk) 01:57, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately,I couldn't find the tweet easily,but I did save the pic from a deleted storyboard. She said she tried to sneak it in there but they denied it because it was a bit too much for the ten year olds. I believe that Valentine's Day is a potential date for the episode's release,but not the ultimate or the only or the best. I'd shoot for a general deadline of Feb.-May if the 14th isn't it.


 * I feel like within the time it took me to write this,I feel a bit bashed(as a little bit of hardcore shipper is beating inside me). Now,I am a sensible person when it comes to this ship,but I think a lot of people subconciously want this to progress easily. So about an hour ago,I jokingly put the kids' names in a love calculator(where you put in names). Basically,it said that it won't be love at first sight and it'll take a lot of effort and sacrifice to pull of a decent relationship as is true irl.  Once again,I wouldn't be as unreasonable to think that Phineas and Isabella would replicate the true yet basic Disney Princess formula of love(and within a standard 11 minute episode at that), but I felt a bit crushed after re-realizing there was some truth to that statement.


 * Ten minutes later,I find a tumblr alert from a guy talking about how he's not sure on whether the ship would sail without sinking. Basically, he said that in the past, Phineas has proven that he's emotionally incapable of being able to handle it if Isabella were to spill the beans given his simplictic view on romance and feelings of extreme dicomfort when going out of his comfort zone. (look at the first post)  I guess it's always discouraging when you might have to wait even longer for a crucial aspect in a character's life to spark sucess,but waiting almost five years is hard. Cakeface33 (talk) 05:05, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * I still recall that tweet from Dan last year. It gave me goosebumps and it got me speculating. I don't know what to think at this point but I do agree with most of your points. Still, knowing how great this relationship has been to the show I'm sure whatever they have planned for it is gonna be great. We know there's gonna be an emotional duet between them, so perhaps this will be the episode where we finally get a confession of sorts. And who knows? Maybe there will be some twists where Phineas will admit he already knew about her crush but chose to say nothing for whatever reason. Black Spiderman (talk) 05:23, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * The reason why they are not airing on feb 14 first it maybe not all done and they are playing the final part of good luck charlie.They will not air as a suprise because dinsey may think they could high rating with it. I think one good case what Act Your Age maybe like the ICarly ep "ISavedyourlife"where it was base around one of the show's top ship creddlie"Freddie/Carly". Nick hype the crap out of it and it return they got they got some highest ratling they have ever gone. But the sad part it was never fellow up because the icarly when the over way and when the other way with the seddle ship"Sam/Freddie"and in the long run they never got those ratling back and the show when down big time. I was thinking maybe the ep may air in june because it around father's day  and what they have say about the secord song that dads would love it.But why would air a shipping ep around father's day. Also I was thinking  maybe in april around easter weekend because dinsey love to play  new ep around those times because they know most kids are homeCtgrumpybear (talk) 16:34, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * BfMCtiYCQAAuH92.jpg this picture could be tied to act your age?? Ctgrumpybear (talk) 16:43, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh boy was there a party of speculation on that pic when Dan posted it. The speculation came from the fact that the middle Isabella "looks" a little older than normal as well as Buford looking older. But how would that explain the Isabella on the left in pigtails? If this is tied to Act Your Age, it's gonna be one crazy episode. Black Spiderman (talk) 21:27, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * That picture? I found that in the forum of "It's No Picnic" Mbuffalo98 (talk) 22:46, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * The episode that pic is from hasn't been given an episode yet. Whoever said it was from that episode and put that pic there rushed to judgement. For now, the episode that this is from is still up in the air. Black Spiderman (talk) 23:49, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * That picture is probably from a song. While there was saying that they look older, it may simply be the fact that characters on this show look different when wearing long sleeves, long pants, or diapers.


 * People have speculated that the song is the duet between Isabella and Phineas. With the possibility that Act Your Age could have older versions of the characters, this might make sense, but then why is Isabella so sick? It's a weird image for sure and the episode's sure to be weirder. Black Spiderman (talk) 20:39, February 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that it's a flashback of a time when she was sick and phineas helped her get better.Schwamifan13 (talk) 23:56, February 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Maybe. It's not gonna be a dream episode but maybe it'll have a flashback of when Phineas took care of a sick Isabella and it reminds her of just how much she loves him. Maybe. I really, really hope we don't have to wait until summer for this episode! Black Spiderman (talk) 01:21, February 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * I still say that the recent screening of the episode means that they're finished with it or very close. If they're close, it's reasonable to believe they'll finish before the end of February. If that's so, it stands to reason a March or April release wouldn't be unreasonable. Black Spiderman (talk) 01:27, February 6, 2014 (UTC)BfVvC2GCQAEcezA.jpg


 * I don't know why folks look older in the picture she look the same just she mess form being sick or she is sad. In the phineas picture you tell he the same age and he is upset about samething. you can tell that  buford in both picture. Both phineas and isabella are in pj in that pictures so maybe that is something. This isabella picture could be part song part of the ep.Just one last thing why dose it look like there a flower comming out of buford's butt or phineas's head(i know it just the angle)Ctgrumpybear (talk) 20:14, February 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Phineas looks like he's wearing a Haiwaiian shirt from that angle. And Buford's hair in both pics makes it seem like both pics are from the same episode. I really can't wait for this to come out! Black Spiderman (talk) 20:23, February 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * it dose look like isabella's picture could be form a song partCtgrumpybear (talk) 20:49, February 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * there could be some substory abourt buford with a new haircut but that  could be lame usless it just a little part of the epCtgrumpybear (talk) 20:54, February 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * I just thought about something, what if the story is that instead of isabella leaving, it could be phineas leaving.Schwamifan13 (talk) 21:43, February 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * I wonder if the side story from "Summer Belongs To You" is going to be brought up again, where Isabella wanted to spend some romantic time with Phineas but he was too busy looking for airplane parts (to be fair that was a legitimiate gripe). Black Spiderman (talk) 21:51, February 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Perhaps the pictures could be a hint to a flashback at a time where Izzy almost gave up hope on Phineas when she got sick and he restored hope to her when he nursed her back to health. You know since Phin is always busy with inventions so it surprised her when he decided to take care of her.The second pic does look like it came from a song sequence which I can only guess is another sad song about wanting to be with Phineas. If Isabella is older in the second pic,it's kind of hard to tell since the kids don't really convert well to a more adult look.


 * As for when it'll come out,they just had a screening like a week ago so they're most likely 90% done with it. Even if they had to do stuff,they would probably be very minor tweaks but we'll never know. Since the episode is mostly wrapped up now,it's most likely not gonna be released in June since its IDK four months away;it just doesn't make sense even if GLC is ending very soon.  Even Fish Hooks is gonna end next month but it's not gonna get that big of a send off so the possibility is still alive.  Call me stupid and crazy,but I won't give up hope until the 14th passes just to confirm it for real even if the probability of it happening is near nonexistent. Cakeface33 (talk) 16:56, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree, I don't think the 14th is happening. Again, it would've been on the schedule if it were. But June is too far away as well, especially since they're essentially done with it. I've always expected a Spring debut for this episode, and March or April wouldn't be unreasonable, though I'm gonna lean towards April and be pleasently surprised if it happens in March. Black Spiderman (talk) 18:38, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think primarily April and May are the golden months to look for if we're talking beyond February. Also the schedule isn't dead set all the time. It's subject to change if Disney has to accommodate something;like how a PAF episode was taken off the map this month for a Fish Hooks episode. I highly doubt the episode will happen in summer since it's a different kind of special. Not to mention the fact that the focus will be on the SW crossover and not on AYA if that would happen and that's not what the crew wants to happen to a special that was probably the first real tearjerker in PAF history. If it does come in March,that will genuinely surprise me.Cakeface33 (talk) 19:35, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I still can take a wild guess and it could air easter weekend because we see a lot networks like to air those big ep around that time. Now this ep has been hype for the phinabella fan base could they have other couples show in this ep(that fine as long they don't go nuts with the candace and jeremy.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 19:53, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * i just like thank the folks out here for keeping this post activeCtgrumpybear (talk) 19:55, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm really hoping we see it in March and given that they're all but done with it, it's a possibility. But I wouldn't be remiss if it aired in April. As long as it's before Summer. Black Spiderman (talk) 20:09, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * March is a good month away,so it's actually not too much of an early time for the episode to premiere. Although be wary that Fish Hooks is ending next month and while most kids will barely miss it, Disney might still utilize the chance to hype the final episode.So yeah,Summer is a time we don't wanna wait. If we had to wait until Summer for this thing to come out,there must be some major tweaks to make but I'm confident that they won't take too long for that. Also,I don't recall any networks premiering any new episodes or specials major or otherwise. Would you mind tacking an example to that statement?Cakeface33 (talk) 20:36, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I can't imagine that they have multiple screenings for an episode just to make a "few minor tweaks" so the major editing for Act Your Age has to be over. Maybe some more minor tweaks but that seems about it. Now it's just a matter of when Disney airs it. They might choose to wait a while to air it. I surely hope not. I wanna see it so bad! Black Spiderman (talk) 21:36, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Multiple screenings don't even make sense so they are probably done! It seems insane for them to wait too long since the hype is...well hyped. They are sort of busy with Good Luck Charlie,SW,Fish Hooks and possibly Kim Possible so who's to know?Cakeface33 (talk) 22:05, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * You're right, it does seem weird for them to have multiple screenings, or even waiting a long time because of the hype. I know we're pretty close to it. How close we are remains to be seen but we've waited well over a year now. The next few weeks or so are gonna be a piece of cake. Black Spiderman (talk) 22:15, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yep,we've witnessed far too many teasing tweets from Dan and Robert among others. It can't possibly take longer than 6 months to premiere; the crew/cast/fans care far too much for it to wait. The next eight weeks or so(to see if March is the month) will be a major waiting game.Cakeface33 (talk) 00:24, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree with you. I really feel like it's close. For Robert to say it's the "best episode ever" is really telling. Regardless of what happens they think so highly of the episode and I'm sure they want us to see it as soon as possible. Now we just have to wonder when that will be. March is the earliest it can come and I have a sneaking suspicion it will come then. Black Spiderman (talk) 01:46, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well,I certainly hope it will be here in March since it's not a faroff possibility. Now we've only got to worry about the episode's content. Maybe we could look to other DC cartoon finales to see how they did it along with the picture above. Now so far,I think that Phineas might've upset Isabella,the next day,she ended up with salmonella and when he comes over to apologize he finds out and nurses her back to health. That's all I got now but the plot'll make itself from tweets soon enough.Cakeface33 (talk) 04:31, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * We don't even know if those two images are from Act Your Age. For all we know they could be from another episode. In any case, I personally am shooting for either March or April. That's reasonable. Black Spiderman (talk) 05:11, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm,I thought someone already asked Dan and he said it was from AYA. CT above said is was from AYA as well. March or April is reasonable;May and June is too long to waitCakeface33 (talk) 05:51, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Guys, I just saw images of It's No Picnic...and Phineas and Isabella are on a picnic! Some buildup. And also, would they really put salmonella in a kids TV show? Mbuffalo98 (talk) 16:23, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I was doing some maths last night with mission mission marvel where the voice work was done in may 2013 and the ep air in aug. That around 4 mth time and the only trying help song was recorded in july the year beforce. With that math I think with the voice work being done last mth and the phinabella song done in dec 2012 i dose add up to act your age being a april or may ep.but rember dinsey is the one with the final say in that matter. It going air when they want it to air.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 17:28, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * about the picture I did ask on twitter and someone who say they know what ep they would form was kinda hinting it as maybe it was form ataCtgrumpybear (talk) 17:32, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't know if it was ever confirmed that the images were from AYA. If it were, can someone point me in the right direction? And Mission Marvel may not be the best comp in terms of production; it was an hour long special compared to just a half hour for this episode. Black Spiderman (talk) 19:41, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I just saw part of It's No Picnic on Youtube. It aired in Poland so it's hard to understand, but the parts I saw were really cute and (no spoilers) there's a really great subplot between Isabella and Phineas. Which leads me to wonder...I wonder if the outcome of It's No Picnic sets up the plot for Act Your Age. Black Spiderman (talk) 23:14, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't agree that folks are grow up, the proportion of their body parts are as same as other episode, they look like grow up because their hair style and clothes are not as usual. Antimatterfire (talk) 12:59, February 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Mainly it was Buford's hair that made me think that. On a closer look, they don't really appear that much older if at all. Black Spiderman (talk) 01:15, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I just thought of something: if It's No Picnic had Phineas and Isabella's relationship advance as much as they did (again no spoilers) then what in the heck can we expect for Act Your Age. Black Spiderman (talk) 01:20, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I still wish a good endding... Maybe just wait and see. Antimatterfire (talk) 14:23, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it'll be a good ending too. I just wish we had more information about the episode. Seeing as it's all but done it should be coming out soon but the more time passes, the more I believe we're not gonna see it until Summer, which I would hate. Black Spiderman (talk) 14:50, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's No Picnic look like a nice set up for possiable big momment in Act Your Age and look at all of the eps they been stting up for something with the last couple of ep how little they are. Like in Just Our Luck when phineas say to isabella"now that  you are here"we hear wedding music in the background. That funny because it has to be ask what the point was the point of it to that outside of the guy playing saying I call them as I see them. It  will be cool what they put in the next couples of ep I mean the top gear ep may have some momments but it not going be a phinabella ep but yet again. I don't think it's no picnic was going be on. About the photo and folks sayig they look older in the picture no they don't. Maybe there going be a sidestory for buford with him getting a new haircut.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 18:31, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * so was it's no picnic the waited relationship advance ??I seen that eo but don't get what they are sayingCtgrumpybear (talk) 18:18, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * From what I saw - and I couldn't understand it either - it appears Isabella tells Candace how she feels about Phineas in It's No Picnic, so it looks like that is the episode in which she asks her for advice, hence the picnic. And it does look like a nice set up for Act Your Age. Maybe it's possible It's no Picnic is the last episode to air before Act Your Age, which would make sense if that episode does have as many Phinabella moments as everyone's been teasing. Black Spiderman (talk) 18:47, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I found a couple of things on Twitter today. Both Dan & Swampy posted tweets about an "Ashley Simpson" who Dan said "Helped with the character designs on Act Your Age." Swampy then posted a tweet about her getting interviewed "for her work on Phineas & Ferb."


 * https://twitter.com/DanPovenmire/status/432955853168078848


 * https://twitter.com/mmonogram/status/432964837685993472


 * I don't know what either of these tweets actually mean, but another twitter user I follow mentioned how she's known for her depictions of teenager versions of cartoon characters on DeviantART.


 * https://twitter.com/rwmead/status/432974163935252480


 * Now there's speculation that they're filming a promo with her about the episode. If that's the case, I imagine we're really, really close to it airing now! Black Spiderman (talk) 21:58, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Wait, wasn't it confirmed they won't be grown up a while ago? Mbuffalo98 (talk) 00:58, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't remember anymore. All I know is that this episode is gonna be AWESOME! And from all indications, it might be just around the corner... Black Spiderman (talk) 01:06, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * It would be a pitty if they were older. It wouldn't be as cute as I think it would be if they were at normal age. Mbuffalo98 (talk) 04:26, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * I saw some of Ashley Simpson's work on DA  and I have to say she dose some great works and I see she a phinabella fan.Folks say she know for drawing teenage vis of toons but I could only could find couple of works of that. I am still not sold on that this ep will be about the gang in there teenage years for one main reason. You think that part would be the thing they would hyping up but this is getting hype up as a phinabella ep.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 15:47, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think this show there going to be a major hype up for this ep Ctgrumpybear (talk) 16:04, February 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Nothing was confirmed about their being grownups,unless anyone wants to link to said evidence of that. I don't think Phineas and Isabella have to be teens for the episode to make a grand show of their relationship.   Now obviously,they would be able to do much more if they were teens since,their not ten and the thing could work out. Personally,I think it would be better if they were ten;if they were just able to seal the deal within about four sentences,it would be boring. Besides,if they really did get turned older a la an inator,wouldn't they have to superspeed through puberty? Phineas wouldn't really understand his feelings anymore or less. In fact,he would stress himself out about it. So yeah,if anyone wants to explain those flaws,go ahead,but I'd like it if the gang stayed ten.      Also,I watched It's No Picnic and I think the relationship advice ep. would have more explanation and talk in it than those twenty or so seconds of Izzy and Candace. Yes,it was in Polish so most of us can't understand it(if anyone can translate or swing by the Polish PAF wiki,please help us if you can) but I could sense that it wasn't as long as it could've been. Also in the pic,Izzy's clothes give her an older look which is why everyone has been saying that.Cakeface33 (talk) 16:09, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * The isabellas in that picture one is just wearing PJ and the other one look youngerCtgrumpybear (talk) 16:14, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * It could be interpeted as PJs but it could also be blouse and long pants. For the time being,we can't be precisely sure.Cakeface33 (talk) 16:27, February 11, 2014 (UTC)
