Disney Phineas & Ferb: Star Wars
P**D
As always with Phineas and Ferb- The best stuff is in the small moments and cast off lines.
What makes Phineas & Ferb: Star Wars better than just any F and P collection is one of the best satires of the Star Wars movies. The song In the Empire, alone is worth many re runs. And so it goes most scenes following onto or expanding from very convincing animations of the original movie. A list of my favorite small bits world run almost as long as this too short and yet just right, brilliant family friendly satire. This is perfect for your most beloved SW geek be they young in years or merely young at heart.For me this one segment more than provides the value for this CD. But Wait! There is more! The addition of 5 more ½ hour P and F episodes make this a rich vein of entertainment for the family. Your choice to run it back to back or to spread it over several time slots. To be honest, not all of these episodes held to the higher standards of humor I expect from this series. In no particular order:The Steampunks episode had great promise and a few good laughs, but could have been better.The Terrifying Tri-State Trilogy of Terror made for a P and F reply to the Simpsons Treehouse of Terror Halloween specials. This episode took me into a world of Phineas and Ferb for which I was not prepared, but was a lot of fun.Tales from the Resistance only works if you have seen the earlier episode introducing the brothers and their sister from another dimension.Doof 101 makes stars of some exploring bugs and characters I hope get some small time in more episodes.And finally there is For your Ice Only a fairly typical P and F episode meaning funnier than most animations targeted at the kids but not esp the best of the boys.The P and F folks made a point that Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars is only a send up based on Star Wars Episode IV , some of the rest are in desperate need of comeuppance, GO for it Team!

Not the Phineas and Ferb that I remember.
We moved to Europe 3 years ago and my boys and I used to LOVE Phineas and Ferb (seasons 1 and 2). We have not seen the episodes for a long time (I did buy The Fast and the Phineas, Daze of Summer, and Across the Second Dimension, which we LOVE). But, these must be season 4 because they just were not as well thought out or as well done as they used to be. Star Wars was choppy at best and 2 of the other 4 episodes were equally disappointing, both my boys (now ages 12, 15) felt the same way. I know they cancelled the show and it makes me think that the producer's hearts just were not in to making them any more. They had fun for a while and took a great deal of pride in the production, but this disc does not reflect that any more. I am sure they were just tired.We did enjoy Tales from the Resistance, it was more inline with the more fluid/congruous plot that we remember. And we did still laugh at parts, but they are not nearly as memorable as older ones that we still play the songs from--S.I.M.P, Backyard Beach, I'm Lidana, E.V.I.L. Boys, There's No Candy In Me, Phinedroids and Ferbots, etc.

Loved it
I am not sure how many seventy-one year old "Phineas and Ferb" fans there are, but I have loved the series since I first encountered it several years ago. I am also a die-hard "Star Wars" fan and have watched all the movies except the last one repeatedly, so I had a ball with this spoof of the first movie in the franchise. All the familiar tropes are here, but they take place in the background of a different adventure showing the stock characters from the animated series in the Star Wars universe. If you like the TV series and you like the movies, you will probably like this too, unless you regard Star Wars as too important to be spoofed.

Well done Star Wars crossover.
This is a stellar Star Wars crossover and not only neatly dovetails with A New Hope, but offers theories about questions like "What made Han decide to turn back and join in the Battle of Yavin?" and the ongoing debate about "What happened to all the regular joes who were on board the Death Star?"Also features the rousing "Rebel, Let's Go" musical number which has become a favorite in my household full of Star Wars and Disney geeks.

Melding with Episode 4 of Star Wars is awesome
My son loves this episode and I enjoy watching all of the amazing tie-ins with original. Very well done and still brings laughter after watching it 5 times!Extra episodes are a great bonus.Only gripe is waiting for Disney to release whole seasons of this entertaining and witty cartoon

My kids love Phineas and Ferb and Star Wars so this was ...
My kids love Phineas and Ferb and Star Wars so this was a winner in my house. Only the first episode is Star Wars themed but there are multiple episodes on the DVD. The only thing I don't love is a weird song that the bad Doctor sing about divorcing his wife, alimony and avoiding prison. It just seems a little odd for a kids DVD.
