Phineas and Ferb – Summer Belongs to You

by
Wow, I didn't realize Phineas and Ferb had hit 100 episodes! I mean, having mostly half length episodes helps, but it's still pretty impressive. To celebrate, Disney is premiering two special new episodes including guest stars Chaka Khan, Clay Aiken, Seth MacFarlane, and Kevin Smith. That's right, Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane is gonna be on Phineas and Ferb! Not only are his shows about as Anti-Disney as one can imagine, his own personal history with the company is such that I'm amazed both that he as asked and that he accepted! The full Disney press release follows.
CHAKA KHAN, CLAY AIKEN, SETH MACFARLANE AND KEVIN SMITH GUEST STAR ON "PHINEAS AND FERB," AS NOTEWORTHY AND AMUSING EPISODES DEBUT IN AUGUST ON DISNEY XD AND DISNEY CHANNEL With a 100 episodes and counting, the Emmy Award-winning series "Phineas and Ferb" continues to roll out with new and thoroughly amusing stories for kids, tweens and families.

A one-hour episode entitled "Summer Belongs to You" premieres MONDAY, AUGUST 2 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney XD and Friday, August 6 on Disney Channel. As the story goes, it's the summer solstice and, because it's the longest day of the year, stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb decide to travel around the world in one day. But not everyone believes they can actually achieve what they've set out to do, leading them to get some encouraging words, in the form of a duet, from Clay Aiken and Chaka Khan. Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz takes a father-daughter trip to Tokyo with Vanessa. Music from the episode will Planet Premiere on Radio Disney Monday, July 26 through Monday, August 2, and will be released by Walt Disney Records on Tuesday, August 3 at online retailers.

Then, in "Nerds of a Feather," an episode guest starring Seth MacFarlane and Kevin Smith, Phineas and Ferb head to the Tri-State area's annual sci-fi/comic book convention to meet their hero, special effects guru Clive Addison. Their plan gets sidetracked when they’re swept into a duel between fantasy fans and sci-fi geeks. Meanwhile, Candace tries to keep secret that she's a fan of Ducky Mo-Mo, another convention staple. Across the convention hall, Dr. Doofenshmirtz has taken television executive Jeff McGarland hostage so he can pitch him a show he's developed, "Doof 'N' Puss."

What follows is the official Disney Press release about this DCOM.

HUTCH DANO STARS IN “DEN BROTHER,” A COMEDIC
DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING
FRIDAY, AUGUST 13 ON DISNEY CHANNEL

Hutch Dano (of Disney XD's hit series “Zeke and Luther”) and G. Hannelius (“Sonny With A Chance”) star in the winsome comedy “Den Brother,” a Disney Channel Original Movie about a self-centered teen hockey star, who must swallow his pride, step in and become substitute leader of his little sister's Bumble Bee troop. Filmed in Salt Lake City, Utah, “Den Brother” premieres FRIDAY, AUGUST 13 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

In anticipation of the movie, DisneyChannel.com will present the opportunity for visitors to become Bumble Bee Scouts, play games and earn virtual badges through various tasks, as well as find information on pro-social activities to help their community, such as donating to charity and recycling.

He must pose as the troop's elderly den mother from time to time but thinks it's a small price to pay, especially since he can get Emily and the girls to do his chores and make him snacks in exchange for merit badges. Even more advantageous, Alex has the opportunity to get closer to the beautiful Matisse Burrows, leader of another Bumble Bee Troop. However, when his self-centered antics cost Emily and her friends an opportunity to participate in the long-anticipated Camporee, Alex finally sees how he has affected those he cares about and must devise a plan that will get his troop into the camp.

The movie stars Hutch Dano (“Zeke and Luther”) as Alex Pearson, G. Hannelius (“Sonny With A Chance,” “Leo Little's Big Show”) as Emily Pearson, Kelsey Chow (of the upcoming Disney XD series “Pair of Kings”) as Matisse Burrows, David Lambert (Disney XD's “Aaron Stone”) as Danny “Goose” Gustavo, Maurice Godin (“Wizards of Waverly Place,” “House M.D.”) as Professor Pearson, Vicki Lewis (“Sonny With A Chance,” “Til Death”) as Dina, and Debra Mooney (“Everwood”) as Mrs. Jacklitz. Starring as the Bumble Bees are Taylar Hender (“Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader”) as Abigail; Kiara Muhammad (“Steps”) as Ursula; Haley Tju (“Hannah Montana”) as Tina and Kelly Gould (“Rita Rocks”) as Rachel.

The story was written by Mike Horowitz and the teleplay was written by Jim Krieg. “Den Brother” was directed by Mark L. Taylor (“Hooking Up”); executive-produced by Jessica Horowitz (“Beauty and the Briefcase”) and Sandy Climan (“U2 3D”); and produced by Don Schain (“High School Musical” movies). “Den Brother” is a production of Salty Pictures, Inc. It carries a TV-G rating.

A Wish Comes True!

by

Clever title huh? ;)

Frequent readers know that I've been begging Debby to sing (more) for years. I even set up DebbyRyanMusic.com with the express purpose of convincing her to record a CD.

So far, we've gotten her to sing one song "Country Girl" as Bailey, and one full cover of "Hakuna Matata" on Disneymania 7.

That is, until now.

Bless you 16 Wishes for making Debby record another song! "A Wish Comes True Every Day" is the title track for the new movie and the music video premiered yesterday on DC following the Suite Life on Deck special Breakup in Paris.

https://youtu.be/bCS5-8VYwaQ?si=0ZRviU7QMxc4nUiM

She does a pretty good job on it too! :) Debby's video will of course be overshadowed by Selena's new music video on Sunday, but I for one will not rest until Debby records an album.

So if you don't wanna hear me keep talking about it, you could help make it happen. Just a suggestion. :)

Happy Channy Day!

by

Okay, I'm technically a few hours late, 'cause "Channy Day" is the nickname given by Sonny with a Chance fans to Sunday June 13th, the day that Chad officially asked Sonny out.

SWAC forum member Allison.Cooper. said it best...

My fellow Disney family, today is the day- the day we rise, the day we shine, the day our baby show makes a footprint in history. Regardless of your age, your show, your ship- today, we walk hand in hand, every boy and girl from every land- from the mountains to the beach. FFtF, FFtf is almost in our reach.

Together, just about one year and four months ago, we were exposed to this new show, this strange show, with a weird annoying 10 year old, a self-absorbed blonde- well two of those actually, that girl from Camp Rock, a random hot guy who was always arguing, and those two other weird kids. But, now, today- this is what we've all been waiting for.

On our own, us- the Sonny With A Chance fans, discovered our obsession. One by one, we found our way to each-other. Together, we screamed and squealed when we first say the Falling For The Falls commercial. Together, we shared our excitement as we read the script, and our minds exploded. Together, we exchanged clips and pictures and anticipation of the episode to come. Together, we searched for a airing date, waiting in anticipation for this miraculous day. When we discovered that date, we shared it with each-other and began counting down. We spread the word, the passion, the joy, the thrill, and watched the time trickle closer to that one delightful day.

That day has come.

Now, here, together we wait, counting down the hours- the minutes- to be united with our brothers and sisters, once again, in front of television screens across the nation and the world.

This is the moment that will change our lives forever-
This is the moment of Sonny and Chad-

We watched them flirt-fight their way into our hearts, and squealed in excitement at each scene Disney threw at us. We anticipated the kiss in 'Guess Who's Coming to Guest Star', felt the thrill when we heard that 'they would be in love', and experienced extreme anger at a pig for the first time in our lives. In 'The Heartbreak Kids' we watched, anticipating the moment when we would see why Sonny and Chad were on a date. In 'With A Chance of Dating' we nearly had a heart-attack the entire final half of the episode. 'In The Kitchen With Dinner' brought us that wonderful, high-voiced, jealous Chad. And as one, we all squealed as we saw Sonny in Chad's arms not once, but twice in 'The Legend of the Candyface.'

And today, we see our own Sonny and Chad unite before us as Channy.

I would like to thank the Disney company, Demi Lovato, Sterling Knight, Doug Brochu, Tiffany Thornton, Brandon Mychal Smith, Allison Ashley Arm, Greg, and everyone else for making this show and this family possible!

I love you all, you really are an amazing family, one could never ask for a better more-amazing group of fans than ours! :)-(:

And yes,
Yes I did.

Say

'Falls!'
