Talk: Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension/Fake or not

Discussions about whether the Phineas and Ferb film was real and when it would be released have been moved here.

Fake?

No references. Fake, much? Jadman22 21:19, February 16, 2010 (UTC)Jadman22

Actually we do have a reference, Swampy mentioned it in an audio interview in England. I believe there is a link on the Season 2 Article.Dooby Dooby Doo-Bob 21:27, February 16, 2010 (UTC)(Gone For the most part)

The link's on the Season 3 page. It's supposed to come out sometime between 2010 and 2011 according to him, but nothing else is known about it yet.24.185.113.146 02:17, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

The link was also posted on this page. You can clearly hear Swampy say at the end "And we've just started work on the movie. So hopefully that'll be out by Summer of 2011." There was another blog that I happened to come across that said that the movie could come out as early as this year. But I've heard rumors that it is a fake blog. Black Spiderman 04:46, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Swampy confirmed it was a fake blog a few days back. —Unsigned message added by 99.161.188.91 (talk • contribs)

Drat. That stinks. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait for one of them to give us more information. Black Spiderman 15:00, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

The Blogger/Blogspot sites are being run by an imposter. If Swampy hadn't confirmed it, the numerous spelling, grammar and other mistakes would have still given it away. — RRabbit42 (leave a message) 15:38, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

And here I am relying on that website for more information not knowing that it's been run by a phony the entire time! Well, Dan and Swampy better start giving out some information about it soon! The wait seems unbearable. Black Spiderman 19:56, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

but if its not coming out till next summer, there probably isn't any information, you know since its a year and a half away.

Well he didn't say for sure that it would come out in Summer of 2011. For all we know, it could be later. It could be earlier. I just hope we get some idea soon. I'm just so excited I can't help myself! Black Spiderman 21:24, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

GASP! There's gonna be a Phineas and Ferb movie! This is so awesome! I gotta call my friend! J. Severe

How come the name was changed to Phineas and Ferb (film)? I thought Phineas and Ferb (movie) was just fine. Black Spiderman 03:04, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Film is more official then movie. The Flash ^{talk} 03:13, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Is this a good thing or a bad thing because it may be the end of the show~EmCruz

The wait is unbearable. But if the info is true then Perry will finally be found out. Awesome!BeatOli 18:28, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I thought that it was already verified that there are NO plans for a phineas and Ferb Movie. —09MurphyM 06:38, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

There may not have been, but there are now - look at the references on the article page. :) -- Ryan Stoppable (call me, beep me) 14:39, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Is the movie supposed to be released on June 17? 'Cause that's what the page says. J. Severe: A Young Boy Trying to Find His Place In This World 22:50, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think so. Unless a valid source has confirmed it as such. --SlayerMan118 22:55, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Incidentally, until a definite release date is confirmed, and due to the high importance of this article, I think a lock should be in order. Purely to prevent any false or unsourced information from finding its way into the article. SlayerMan118 23:00, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Usually, I not very much active on the wiki due to schoolwork and other responsibilities at home. But when I was browsing the web, I ran into this. The first thing that ran across my mind was one word "LIE". But when I saw on the show's page that it is properly sourced, I felt like slapping myself 3 times and prepare for a knockout (I actually did physically slap myself once, on the other hand :P). Still we'll have to wait and see until official confirmation. Phin68 talk to Phin68 00:06, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Uh, Phin, there is official confirmation. Both are from either Swampy himself or Disney... The Flash ^{talk} 01:19, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia says that it will premiere on "June 12." Can we confirm this as a reliable source, or just as random trash? J. Severe (A young boy trying to find his place in the world, one wiki at a time!) 17:38, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

The movie's a year away. It's probably just trash. I bet it'll be deleted by tomorrow. Black Spiderman 18:36, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Acorrding to a source from YouTube on my comments board from a Disney connected user, the movie has been retitled as "Across The Second Dimension" as a DCOM. ~Kittyfire I don't have to try. 17:57, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Unless I'm missing something, how is that a retitling? Unless you're saying that "Phineas and Ferb" won't be part of the title, which I severely doubt. -- Ryan Stoppable (call me, beep me) 20:48, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

The film will premiere on Disney Channel US on June 12, 2010 as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_and_Ferb:_Across_the_Second_Dimension --87.114.179.193 12:51, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Looking through the history of that page, anonymous users keep playing with the year that the movie is supposed to be released: 2023, 2010, 2090, et cetera. Therefore, the Wikipedia article is no longer a definitive reference for the release date. Given the fact that it took Disney over a year to broadcast "Undercover Carl" and they just broadcast the Christmas special a few months ago, a 2011 release date is more likely than this year. Going from concept to finished animated product in under 6 months is not likely. — RRabbit42 (leave a message) 14:45, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

The page has been updated and now according to wikipedia the movie will be released this June and a trailer is coming mid-May. Again, it's probably just nonsense. But if it isn't, the anticipation is agonizing. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_and_Ferb:_Across_the_Second_Dimension 74.89.18.199 19:00, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

I don't find it reliable enough. First, if the movie is gonna release in June, we must have seen quite at least a short trailer of it. Second, the Disney Channel 2010 sneak peek (Disney always shows their news shows, movies and seasons at the end of a year) didn't mention anything such as this, all that was "a new season of Phineas and Ferb." Third, that page states "It's currently filming and a trailer will be seen in mid-May." As Dan Povenmire had said this himself, that it takes like 10 months to make a 11-minute-episode, so there's no way a movie can be made that fast. Fourth, the article said "However as of March 2010, it was upgraded to a Disney Channel Original Movie and was moved to June 2010." So, can you show us the press release or anything reliable that proves it true? ~PerryPerry - The Perry (and Phinbella) lover 05:24, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

there is gonna be a movie. YOU'LL SEE!

even though i'm gonna have to agree with ya,

sorry, forgot to sign my name :)71.88.194.4 15:38, April 23, 2010 (UTC)iluvperry

Yeah, Wikipedia says it will be rated TV-PG (for brief rude humor and some mild thematic elements), then that it will premiere of June this year (kind of early), and that a new trailer will premiere next month. Not only that, but a bunch of random new characters in the Cast. I would like to be happy at this kind of news but it seems a bit fishy. I guess we'll have to see until mid-May (the alleged release time of the trailer) to see for ourselves. --J. Severe (A young boy trying to find his place in the world, one wiki at a time!) 23:06, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

And it's not just on that one page; it's on the templates and everywhere else! Either it's true, or those unregistered contributors are really smart.J. Severe (A young boy trying to find his place in the world, one wiki at a time!) 23:13, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Someone should ask Swampy about this. --J. Severe (A young boy trying to find his place in the world, one wiki at a time!) 23:18, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Now I just feel like I'm talking to myself. --J. Severe (A young boy trying to find his place in the world, one wiki at a time!) 23:18, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

The new characters are probably fake. But...seeing as June 2010 appears everywhere now as the premiere date except here, I'm starting to believe it myself. Chances are it's still slated for next year, but you can't help but hope, right? Black Spiderman 23:37, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

If the movie was coming out in two months don't you think some kind of media outlet would mention something about it. ThatBobGuy 23:40, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Like I said, we'll have to wait to see for ourselves. Just mark the calendar: check May 15th for a movie trailer on Disney Channel. But Bob, I agree with you. There WOULD be some notice. But there's still the chance of it premiering later in this summer. --J. Severe (A young boy trying to find his place in the world, one wiki at a time!) 23:45, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

No, there isn't. In the Daily Telegraph interview, Swampy said they were just starting on it in January, and animation doesn't work that fast. As of right now, the only place that has reported on it is the DC Upfront press release, and that says Summer 2011; everything else is just Wikipedia wishful thinking. And J. Severe, why on Earth would the movie be PG when the show is? -- Ryan Stoppable (call me, beep me) 00:34, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Considering that every episode is rated TV-G, It is a little strange that the movie would have a TV-PG rating vs. a TV-G rating if the info is true.69.228.210.138 03:14, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Half of the shows on CN right now are rated PG, so what's the big deal if the movie were to be rated TV-PG? And besides, just because Swampy said it in one interview that they had just started working on the movie doesn't mean it to be now. We don't know. That interview could've been done a year ago and they're just surfacing it up now, and he's trying to trick us into anticipating it more so when it comes out sooner, we're that much more surprised. I mean, they announced back in February of '09 that The Wizard of Odd was coming out. It's April 2010, and Australia's the only country that's aired it. I mean, anything can happen. I know probably none of this is likely, but you really can't blame a guy for hoping. Black Spiderman 04:07, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

I just went to the article today and it seems that "The Flash" has cleared it up. It turns that it was all false info. Oh well... J. Severe (A young boy trying to find his place in the world, one wiki at a time!) 20:31, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia now says that the release date is June 17, 2011. Do you think that's fake, or not? 84.28.116.124 12:24, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

The release date is still set for August 2011. —RRabbit42 (leave a message) 14:35, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Am I the only one thinking this?

OK, I just thought of this. If the movie really is coming out in 2011 instead of 2010, why would anybody bother putting out any information about it now? I mean, not that I'm unexcited about it. But I just think it's a bit strange that they brought it up in a press release over a year before it's supposed to come out. Right? Black Spiderman 22:31, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Some just want to cause problems for other people. Others might feel that they are passing along good information. — RRabbit42 (leave a message) 04:16, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Well, by that, I was referring to Disney's Press Release back in March that first brought the movie up. Black Spiderman 03:35, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

The Trailer

Wikipedia says a trailer for the movie will air in September. Before you go on and say that it's just a lie, note that the page has been blocked from unregistered and new users. Comments, anyone? J. Severe (A young boy trying to find his place in the world, one wiki at a time!) (wiki) 23:28, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

It was WhatGuy who put that on the article. 69.228.89.220 23:50, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

It's still there. Does that mean it's true? Black Spiderman 21:55, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

There are no sources, so I will drop the September trailer part when it is open to all (including unregestered IPs) and there is no source to back it up anyway, if I'm the first to get it dropped. 69.228.89.220 22:47, May 10, 2010 (UTC

And has just been deleted. 69.228.89.220 23:29, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

sooooooooooooooooooooooooo

sooooooooo there's no trailer in September??71.88.194.4 22:04, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

i agree with ya RRabbit42, even though i still can't wait!

International Premiere Date?

Someone edited the page and listed "International Premiere Date" as September 2010 for Germany. Can this be confirmed or should it be removed? Black Spiderman 12:13, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

I was that. It was confirmed by Disney in a mail.

„Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension” zeigen wir voraussichtlich im September 2010 auf Disney XD.
I think you should understand the main things. --Shego123 12:16, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Cool! Just wanted to make sure. I didn't want this page to fill up with spam again, and considering that there was a lock on the page, I figured somebody registered had to have edited it. Thanks for clearing it up. Can't wait to see it! Black Spiderman 13:18, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

I just thought of something. If Germany's airing the movie in September 2010, doesn't that kind of raise the question of when production of this movie really began? I mean, animation takes 9 months to a year just to produce one episode. And if Swampy said in January that they had "just started" on it...I don't know. It just occurred to me and I thought it was worth bringing up. Black Spiderman 13:39, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Black Spiderman is right here, because if in January, they started the animation and in April, they began recording the voices for the script, then there is no way that it would be ready for September, unless they began working on it months before it was officially announced. Unfortunately, we don't have information to confirm this. That being said, the airing of the movie in September seems quite unlikely. BigNeerav 18:00, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

And that takes me back to a point I made earlier. Dan didn't say in his tweet that they "began recording dialogue". He said that they "were recording dialogue". Unless I'm wrong, that, in no way, implies that that was their very first dialogue recording session for the movie. Wow, it's moments like these when you wish you really had all the facts. Black Spiderman 18:36, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

The unfortunate thing about this is that it is hard to pinpoint when they really started working on this movie. Not enough information is available to confirm this, so it is hard to say what is certain, such as, for example, the premiere of the movie on Disney XD in Germany this September. I don't know who posted the September 2010 Germany Disney XD premiere, but I would like to see the source because if none was cited, then the information is NOT credible. The information that Shego123 posted above ("Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension” zeigen wir voraussichtlich im September 2010 auf Disney XD") is not enough, and no source was cited from which he took the information to confirm that statement. In addition, I would have to also see other evidence to confirm the aforemented statement, otherwise, in my opinion, it should be removed from the page until one or more sources can be cited to verify the September 2010 German Disney XD premiere date. BigNeerav 19:33, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

The sentence "Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension” zeigen wir voraussichtlich im September 2010 auf Disney XD" translates in English to: "We presumably show Across the 2nd dimension in September 2010 to Disney XD" for those of you who are curious. Again, that still does not give any information and the source from which that statement has been taken from has not been cited for verification. Therefore, I would take it with a good dose of skepticism until it can be confirmed. BigNeerav 19:38, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Why I reverted Shego123's edit

Truth of the statement aside, I decided to "be bold" and revert the September 2010 international airdate for Across the Second Dimension, because I do not believe it to be feasible given the current information we have. In Swampy's interview with the Daily Telegraph where he originally announced it, he said they were "just starting" the movie at that point (it was posted January 13, 2010). Given what we know about the animation process, I believe this meshes up with Dan's tweet about dialogue in late April and would preclude an international dub of the finished product being ready by September. -- Ryan Stoppable (call me, beep me) 22:47, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Ryan.......that is what both Black Spiderman and I were very skeptical about.......Shego123 did NOT cite a source for the quotation which indicated that the movie will premiere on Disney XD in Germany this September. In addition, my research did not turn up any other sources of information to confirm the edit and the information that Shego123 posted. I am glad you took the action that you did and unded his edit on the page, and that way, we can maintain the accuracy and integrity of our Wikia articles. Good work! BigNeerav

I can't really believe that you don't trust me and think I just came up with this. The email was from Disney Channel Germany ( disneychannel@disney.de if you want to have the address). I asked for information along with other so they replied and that is all they said about P&F. AND you can believe in what they write. Sure they might air it a few days later or earlier but that'd be probably still September...

If you want the mail...

Your Disney Channel team

My mail was exactly asking for all this. So now believe it or you saw me for the last time here... --Shego123 05:34, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Given how long it has taken in the past to go from story idea to broadcast episode and the fact that the Wikipedia article kept getting changed with unsourced dates by anonymous users, I think we were just trying to figure out how Disney was going to get the movie released this year. There's a couple of new factors that help make a 2010 broadcast more believable.

• The show is using new animation studio that uses Flash animation, whereas the old studio was traditional hand-drawn animation.
• The first we heard about this movie was an interview with Swampy back around January, so an August completion date for September broadcast would be a tight schedule, but not impossible.

Posting the e-mail is a big help. I've seen a lot of nebulous information added to this wiki that's almost never sourced, and a couple that claimed to be from Disney and were patently false. From your past contributions, you were not in this category and now others can see that, too. — RRabbit42 (leave a message) 06:10, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your encouragement. I sent another mail to DC. I think they'll answer in the next 3 or 4 hours. I asked for the US premiere, too (and other things). But I dunno if they have this information but hey I just tried. I'll post the mail then here again. --Shego123 08:01, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

So I got the answer.

Lieber Matthias

Vielen Dank für Ihre E-Mail. Leider ist uns ein Schreibfehler unterlaufen. Nicht September 2010, sondern 2011. Momentan haben wir noch keine offiziellen Informationen, wann neue Phineas und Ferb Episoden auf Disney XD laufen werden. Zu einem Wendy Wu Sequel haben wir auch keine offiziellen Informationen vorliegen.

Wir wünschen Ihnen weiterhin viel Spaß mit unserem Programm.

Ihr Disney XD Team

They said they made a typing error and it isn't September 2010 but 2011. They also have no official information about new P&F episodes. And they have also no information about a Wendy Wu sequel ( :p ).

So now before everyone says I lied: It was not my fault, they made a typo. However, human beings make faults... --Shego123 08:31, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for posting that e-mail. Though it is in German, it looks like an official press release for their country's Disney. I have verified it as authentic and credible. In addition, since the date was a typo, the new date of September 2011 makes more sense, since the premiere of the movie will be sometime in Summer 2011 here in the United States. Now that we have resolved this issue, let's keep working on the page, as we get more information on this movie. Cheers! BigNeerav 11:28, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Shego123, it was never that we did not trust your information. We just had to make sure that you had the right facts going. I mean, September 2010 release date did sound a bit out-of-reach, especially if they really did start working only in January of this year. Well, at least now we have the correct information to rely on (though I'll be honest, I was really looking forward to that September 2010 release date). Black Spiderman 12:41, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Shego, as the user who originally reverted it, I'm sorry if I made you think I thought "[you] just came up with this." That was not my intent at all, as I do know you're a reliable editor; I only reverted it because I felt it contradicted the rest of what we knew in regards to the production timeline. -- Ryan Stoppable (call me, beep me) 20:01, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
