One of the hottest new Disney Channel series in 2008, Phineas and Ferb is a fun animated program about how two inventive stepbrothers choose to spend their summer days and their relationships with their teenage sister Candace and their pet platypus Perry. Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (Thomas Sangster) have vowed to make everyday of summer vacation count and their creative ideas and ingenuity know absolutely no bounds--each day begins with the brothers sitting under a shady tree asking what the other wants to do that day and the afternoons typically culminate in the boys having turned the backyard into anything from an elaborate haunted house to a tropical beach or professional racetrack. Teenage sister Candace (Ashley Tisdale) is intent on getting the boys in trouble with their parents (Caroline Rhea and Richard O'Brien), but no matter how fast she raises the alarm, it seems the boys always manage to have everything cleaned up and back to normal by the time their parents arrive home. Strangely, the boys' pet platypus Perry always seems to disappear just as the boys begin a project, but viewers know that Perry leads a secret life as Agent P who is regularly dispatched to foil the plans of evil-doer Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Somehow, Phineas and Ferb's parents remain oblivious to everything but the boys' shared creativity while the frustrated Candace bemoans her own bad luck in siblings and parents. A show described by kids ages 5 to 12 as "awesome," Phineas and Ferb is the perfect blend of fantasy, creativity, adventure, and family comedy. Bonus features include the original series storyboard pitch by Dan Povenmire and five arcade style games ranging from car racing to "smack a gnome" and disguising Agent P. --Tami HoriuchiPrice: $14.99
