Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe is an upcoming film inspired by and based on the hit series Phineas and Ferb. It will debut on Disney+ in the summer of 2020.
Phineas and Ferb must set out to go across the galaxy to rescue Candace, who has been abducted by aliens and has found utopia in a far-off planet, free of pesky little brothers.[1] The film will chronologically take place during the events of the series.[2]
Originally announced in 2011,[4][5][6] the movie was originally set to be released on July 26, 2013, but it was delayed to a 2014 date to be determined later.[7][8][9] However, Deadline Hollywood reported on August 16, 2013 that the movie had been removed from Disney's release schedule.[10] On the same day, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh stated on Twitter that the film was in development hell.[11]
During the winter press tour of the Television Critics Association on January 10, 2011, Gary Marsh, chief creative officer of Disney Channels worldwide, announced that Walt Disney Studios was in the early stages of developing a Phineas and Ferb feature film. It was being developed by Sean Bailey, Disney's president of motion picture production.[4][5]
On October 27, 2011, it was announced that Michael Arndt, the Academy-Award nominated writer of Little Miss Sunshine and Toy Story 3 (and who was later announced as the screenwriter of Star Wars: Episode VII), was revising Povenmire and Marsh's original draft of the script and that David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman of Mandeville Films, who had recently produced The Muppets for Disney, had signed on as producers. Todd Lieberman said that "It will be like Roger Rabbit, where we'd keep those characters and put them in the real world".[12]
On July 12th, 2015 it was confirmed that the film's script had been completed but no official release date had been given.[13]
On April 11, 2019, after years of silence, Disney announced that a Phineas and Ferb feature film will be made by Disney Television Animation as an exclusive for the Disney+ service and will feature most of the original voice cast reprising their roles.[14] Writer Jim Bernstein confirmed that the new movie is unrelated to the previous production which was originally about the animated characters ending up in a live action world.[15][16]
