Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension



You're a...secret agent?!

When Phineas, Ferb, and Perry follow Dr. Doofenshmirtz through his "Otherdimensionator", they find themselves in an alternate universe where a second, truly evil Dr. Doof rules over his Tristate Area with an army of iron-fisted robots. To save his friends from certain doom, Perry makes the ultimate sacrifice by revealing his secret identity as Agent P. Phineas and Ferb escape, meet their 2nd dimension selves, and begin their own mission to rescue Perry.

As they uncover his plot to travel back to their dimension to take over their Tri-State Area, the gang, as well as their alter-egos, must band together to stop him.

So begins an epic battle as our heroes try to save their home from the clutches of Alt. Dr. Doof... and his sidekick Platyborg! Will Evil Doof succeed and achieve dual world domination? Will Candace finally bust her brothers? Find out in this action-packed, epic adventure - so huge that it crosses over time and space.

Act I
Phineas and Ferb are celebrating the fifth anniversary in which they got their pet platypus, Perry. They create a figure of Perry and it crashes into Heinz Doofenshmirtz's laboratory. Phineas and Ferb help Dr. Doofenshmirtz rebuild his "Otherdimensionator" where Perry shows up, and they then find themselves in an alternate universe where a second, truly evil Dr. Doof rules over his Tri-state Area with an army of iron-fisted robots.

To save his friends from certain doom, Perry makes the ultimate sacrifice by revealing his secret identity as Agent P. Phineas, Ferb and Perry manage to escape from the 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz, but Phineas is angry with Perry for never being honest with them. Falling down Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc., Perry inserts his legs in a skull's eyes and saves Phineas and Ferb, but when they reach the building below, Perry's legs get stuck in the skull's eyes and Perry, Phineas, and Ferb fall over the edge of the building, landing behind a dumpster.

Act II
Phineas and Ferb then decide to find their alternate selves. They find them and see their alternate mother and father, but they find out the alternate Phineas and Ferb don't know what summer is. They perform the song "Summer (Where Do We Begin?)", summoning great enthusiasm from them. After meeting the other alternate characters (Buford, Isabella and the Fireside Girls, Baljeet, Jeremy and Candace), they attempt to get themselves back to their own dimension, but soon discover that Perry had been tricked and was captured by the evil Doof.

Act III
A determined Phineas leads Ferb and the Candace from their dimension (she ended up there by accident after a mishap) back to their lair so they could save him. But it turned out that what Doofenshmirtz really wanted was their help to repair the Otherdimensioninater so he could claim more. After refusing, he forces them (and the original Doofenshmirtz) to their "doom" by leaving them in front of an opening cage of a ferocious monster. But they end up escaping the scene and continuously try to find different ways to escape the room, as evil robots are being summoned to harm them at the same time.

Finally, Candace gets hold of the chain keys to unlock them while Phineas gets hold of the portal transporter, where they are forced to travel into several crazy dimensions while being chased by some of the robots. They eventually reach their home, but the evil Doofenshmirtz has tracked them down and managed to transfer himself there as well, and begins to summon hundreds of robots that try to destroy the tri-state area.

Phineas and Ferb reunite with their friends and discover that they are the only ones besides Perry and the secret agents who can fight off the robots because of all the inventions they've made over the summer. Together, they use their contraptions to fiercely battle with the multiplying evil creatures. As the battle rages, Candace realises that if all of Phineas and Ferb's inventions disappear every time she tries to bust them to their mom, then it can happen to Doof's robots too. As she tries to tell her mother what is happening, Phineas and Perry realize that the only way to get rid of the invasion once and for all is to eliminate the satellite controlling them in, on the very top of a building where the evil Doofenshmirtz is. Phineas and Perry get to the top of the building and fight Doofenshmirtz and his lackey, Platyborg (The 2nd Dimension version of Perry); Phineas fighting Doofesnhmirtz, and Perry fighting Platyborg. Eventually, Phineas manages to destroy the satellite by whacking a ball into it, destroying all of Doof's robots just before Candace can show it to her mother, much to Candace's delight.

Act IV
As Phineas, Ferb, and Perry reunite, Doofenshmirtz fires back by activating his enormous contraption. Just as he is about to kill them once and for all, the original Doofenshmirtz returns and returns the evil one's prize possession to him that he had lost as a child, enlightening his personality and causing him to deactivate the robots. The reformed Doofenshmirtz returns back to his own universe, but ends up being arrested up by Major Monogram and the 2nd Dimension Fireside Girls. After all the robots disappear and their entire world is saved, the 2nd Dimension gang thank them for bringing happiness back to their world.

In the end, Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and the rest of their friends find out from Major Monogram that they have to get their memories erased using Doofenshmirtz's "Amnesiainator" so that Perry can stay with them (on account of them all knowing his truth). When the idea of using the machine is brought up, Dr. Doofenshmirtz does not remember building it which proves that Doofenshmirtz had at least one invention that worked properly and was not destroyed by Perry.

Right before the machine is put into effect, Phineas and Ferb say goodbye to Perry, saying that his secret agent identity and pet identity are both the real him, and that he will always be a great pet and friend to them. Isabella pulls Phineas in for a kiss since he won't remember it, leaving a very surprised and happy Phineas. At the end of the movie, it is shown that Perry has photos that were taken from the camera in his hat so that he can always remember the entire experience.

 * During the song Summer (Where Do We Begin?), when Phineas sings "Summer, bicycles and roller skates" he is seen in a close up with a red helmet, but in the next shot the helmet is blue.

 * After the final battle, when the characters are getting their memories wiped, only Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Doofenshmirtz, Isabella, Buford, Baljeet, Stacy, Jeremy, and the Fireside Girls are shown. Other characters who are shown in the Robot Riot scene but not getting their memories wiped include Irving, Albert, Django, Love Handel, and Jenny.
