Premiering on the Disney Channel 20 years ago, and quicky becoming the most successful original TV-movie for the channel, High School Musical took the Romeo & Juliet-esque themes of mismatched lovers to high school to the delight of audiences with its choreographed dance numbers, pop hits, and the kind of warm fuzzy tone where despite all obstacles you know everything will turn out all right in the end.

The film’s soundtrack (including “Start of Something New,” “What I’ve Been Looking For,” “Stick to the Status Quo,” “When There Was Me and You,” and “Bop to the Top“) became the best-selling album of the year, and the TV-movie launched the careers of Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale.

Phineas and Ferb – Tropey McTropeFace

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Phineas and Ferb – Tropey McTropeFace
  • wiki: link

Tropey McTropeFace may be one of the weakest inventions ever  created by Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (David Errigo Jr.), although it does take on a life of its own which becomes the running gag for the episode. The giant golden zoetrope rolls away from the kids to discover a new life and, whether through fate or accident, be in the right place at the right time to avert disasters over and over again. With at least some minimal sentience, it also struggles to find its way back to the Ferris Wheel it falls for while breaking up the plans of Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire) to turn things (momentarily) sideways. Yeah, not his best plan. It’s a fun, if lightweight, adventure.

Phineas and Ferb – Deconstructing Doof

  • wiki: link

Starting out by introducing that both Candace (Ashley Tisdale) and Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire) are patients of the same psychologist,, “Deconstructing Doof” has some fun with the premise as the doctor comes to see a pattern in both patients’ delusions and uncovers a connection to a truth that he will share with the world. Sadly for Dr. Mosley Shamai (Brendan Hunt), his attempts at proving the truth fair no better than that of Candice as Doofenshmirtz’s latest invention, with the help of Perry, erases all proof just seconds before his big presentation. Highlights of the episode include the patients’ duet of “No One Understands Me,” Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb‘s (David Errigo Jr.) giant disco blimp (which goes unnoticed by hundreds of people), and the good doctor’s nervous breakdown on stage (which oddly comforts Candice).

Phineas and Ferb – License to Bust

  • Title: Phineas and Ferb – License to Bust
  • wiki: link

Driving plays a large role in “License to Bust” as  Candace‘s (Ashley Tisdale) driving test coincides with Doofenshmirtz‘s (Dan Povenmire) new invention of turning any street light green allowing him to race through traffic. Candace’s fear is lost when she sees Phineas (Vincent Martella), Ferb (David Errigo Jr.), Isabella (Alyson Stoner), Baljeet (Maulik Pancholy), and Buford (Bobby Gaylor) all bouncing wildly around town on springs and sticky gloves the pair created. Her distraction actually allows for her to perform great at her test and pass (surprising her father and the driving instructor), although once again she’s unsuccessful in getting  her parents to notice before all antics of her brothers’ recent craziness have been wiped away (thanks largely to Perry).

Phineas and Ferb – Submarine Sandwich Submarine

  • Title: Phineas and Ferb – Submarine Sandwich Submarine
  • wiki: link

“Perhaps in hindsight we should not have made our submarine out of food.”

In a classic wacky episode, Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (David Errigo Jr.), along with Isabella (Alyson Stoner) and Buford (Bobby Gaylor), build a giant submarine out of food making a “Submarine Sandwich Submarine” to explore the Mariana Trench. Snooping on her brothers rather than getting ready for the sandcastle building competition, Candace (Ashley Tisdale) sneaks onboard it time for an underwater adventure that includes almost getting eaten. Eventually making it out of the water, and crashing on the beach, covering it in sand, Candace’s proof not only disappears at the most opportune moment but she’s even rewarded for the most ingenious sandcastle design on the beach.
