Just when I thought Phineas and Ferb couldn’t get any cooler, they go and team up with the Marvel super heroes and hit it out of the park! I have to admit that there has been more than one occasion where I catch myself watching Phineas and Ferb without any kids around and this DVD will be no exception to that rule. Plus, Super Heroes!
Here’s a quick synopsis of the film:
After Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s latest “-inator” scheme accidentally removes the powers of some very well-known Marvel Super Heroes (Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk), the heroes enter the world of Danville and team up with Phineas and Ferb to relocate their powers, defeat the Marvel Super Villains (Red Skull, MODOK, Whiplash and Venom) – who have also shown up to steal Doofenshmirtz’s power-draining technology – and save Danville from ultimate destruction!
Although I couldn’t get my kids to give an official statement on the DVD, other than that is was good, the glazed stares on two kids who can barely sit through dinner was a ringing endorsement for this one. Plus, any parent who is into super heroes will love it too! Besides, this is MY review, not theirs!
The Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel DVD is on store shelves now and also comes with an In-Packed Collectible Comic Book & exclusive Marvel poster (each DVD will be packaged at random with one of three distinct Marvel posters). I mean, come on, do you really need for me to tell you that this movie is awesome? It’s Phineans & Ferb & Perry & Doofenshmirtz & Super Heroes!!! Do the math and get the DVD!
If you’ve been following this blog from the beginning, you’ll know how excited I am about the upcoming Spider-Man movie! I was going to do a post about my excitement anyway, so I figured why not try and put together a giveaway as well for all my beautiful and handsome readers! PS – That’s you!
I contacted IMAX and they have agreed to let me give away 1 pair of IMAX movie tickets and a Spider-Man poster. Oh wait…Did I say 1 pair? I meant 2 pairs of tickets and 2 posters!! That’s how much I appreciate all of you! We are going to have two winners on this one so your odds are even better.
I’m pretty sure I don’t need to tell you what Spider-Man is all about, right? If so, here’s a brief description, because you probably aren’t going to see it anyway. Peter Parker gets bit by a walrus at the zoo, then the zoo keeper, played by Ben Stiller, yells at Parker, who falls into a pit filled with spiders and becomes Spider-Man. He makes a super suit and flies around the city, solving crime with Justin Bieber, Ironman, Drake & Julia Roberts. The End!
For those of you who know what Spider-Man is all about, you’ll want to check out this link for all the details!
This contest is open to residents of Canada (excluding Quebec) and the USA. The Amazing Spider-Man opens July 3rd! Good Luck and here’s a little something to look forward to!

I’m not even sure where to start this one because it’s a bit emotional and funny all in one event.
My son’s birthday party is going to be in a couple of weeks. I can remember last year, we threw him an Ernie birthday party and he loved it. I asked him what kind of party he wanted this year and he immediately answered “MarioKart!” with joy.
What?!?! How do you go from Ernie to MarioKart in less than a year?
On one hand it’s cool because I get to goof around with a bunch of video game stuff. On the other, I want my little boy back!!!
That brings me to our most recent event.
My son was just invited to his first “drop off your kid and leave” birthday party. He is 3 years old but soon to be 4.
You can forget about the fact that the party was just across the street at a neighbor’s house because it could have been on the moon for all I cared. The point is that my little man is growing up, and quickly!
The neighbor’s kid was turning 5 and was having a Spider-Man themed party, with a special visit from Spider-Man himself (very popular right now, the character shows up and runs games and stuff).
Sure enough, I got a phone call from the neighbor about 30 minutes in, asking if I could come over and comfort my son, who was freaked out by Spider-Man. After some calming words to my delirious concerned wife, I ran over to hang out.
I tried to explain to my son that it was just a guy in a costume and that he had nothing to be scared of. Obviously that didn’t work, so we came to the agreement that if I went home and got his Spider-Man costume, he would stay at the party and take part in the games.
Excited to feel needed again, I raced across the street, Spidey suit in hand. Daddy saves the day!!
It took a few minutes for him to rejoin the party and he clung to me for another 10 like a shirt that had gone through the dryer without a Bounce sheet (you know what I mean, shut it).
Eventually I felt comfortable enough to leave him but figured he wouldn’t take part in anything until Spidey was gone.
Well don’t you know it, sometimes when left to fend for themselves, kids rise above the odds and make you the proudest parents in the world.
Here’s the photo I got from the neighbors, 15 minutes after I had left.
Very proud Dad upon seeing this picture. Almost as if I had said or done something to ease his mind about being at the party. Now if he would please stop growing for a couple years, I would very much appreciate it!!
Is there a moment you realized that you were losing your toddler to boy/girlhood? Share it with me in the comments so I can feel better about losing mine 🙂
Cheers!!

#3 – Toots are hilarious, no matter the time or place they happen. I was already aware of this one but wanted to include it for those of you who had forgotten.
#4 – I am not allowed to be Spiderman. He is always Spiderman and I have to pick from the leftover super heroes. Note: He’s never seen Spiderman other than in toy form. Also, I wish I could be Spiderman.
#5 – Sharing is optional when he has something but is mandatory when he wants something.
#6 – No matter what episode of The Backyardigans I choose to play from the PVR, it’s the wrong one. There are 32 episodes on there and only one is correct each time.
#7 – Nana brings Donuts, therefore Nana is more valuable than Mommy and Daddy.
#8 – Going to WalMart means we’re either getting McDonald’s or Toys. There are no other reasons to go to WalMart.
#9 – Hide and Seek is still fun if you hide in the same place every time. Also, if you’re not found in 3 seconds, it is acceptable to stand up and say “Here I am!”
#10 – Hockey is boring but dropping rocks in sewers is amazing!
#11 – Banana’s are gross! So are grapes, strawberries, oranges, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, blueberries and any food with colours in them.
#12 – If at first you don’t succeed, move on to something else. I’m working on this one….
#13 – Every game is called “I Win”, even if there are no winners and losers. Ex: Putting the last piece in a puzzle you do together is a win for you. I do not ever get to put the last piece in.
That’s all for now! As you can see, I’ve learned so much in my short term as a parent that it’s hard to keep track of it all.
I know there’s much more to learn from him and maybe I’ll revisit this when I have enough knowledge to share with you all.
Do your kids have any fun beliefs? Feel free to share them in the comments section and as always, don’t be afraid to share and tweet this post if you feel so inclined.
Cheers!!
