User blog comment:FerbFlecher151/P&F Movie faces new competition/@comment-5151799-20120210004137

Just a pointer - these movies are coming out the 26th, not the 23rd. Second, The Wolverine and Phineas and Ferb are part of two completely different genres and are targeted at different audiences. The former is a superhero movie that takes place in Japan or something, and will most likely be marketed at teens or young adults. The latter, on the other hand, is a semi-animated (presumably musical) comedy film meant for the whole family. Not much of a relation.

Critically, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which The Wolverine is believed to be a sequel to, wasn't exactly a hit with reviewers, so the enjoyment of this new flick is questionable. P&F on the other hand has received nothin' but praise, so I have no reason to not believe the film will be liked as well. Financially, superhero movies also rake in nice gross. While we're not sure about P&F, it doesn't have to be some humongous blockbuster that makes over a billion bucks - as long as it makes a good amount, say double its budget, or over $100 million, that should convince Disney that the series is still relevant and we'll get moar of it, which is what we want, right?

This isn't like the fiasco where Disney foolishly pitted Winnie the Pooh against the last Harry Potter movie (Not to say that WTP wasn't good, but it should have definitely grossed more than it did released against a giant like that), families will most likely flock to P&F than The Wolverines. Have more faith. ;)
