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.

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'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)
