And he has been waiting for a “Phineas and Ferb” DVD since the last “The Perry Files” release and with “Phineas and Ferb: The Perry Files – Animal Agents”, I’m sure many children will be thrilled that not only are their 12 episodes featured, but also a cool spy kit is included.

With this latest DVD release, 12 episodes from the first three seasons are featured, episodes that showcase Perry and members of the O.W.C.A. (Organization Without a Cool Acronym).

From many episodes of Vanessa trying to catch her brothers in the act, boyfriend problems or in some sort of crisis, Phineas & Ferb continue to make more inventions and also their friends take part in the adventures. But of course, because these are episodes showcasing the “Perry Files”, these episodes feature Perry ala “Agent P” in action.

For the most part, children and the young at heart, will enjoy this series! At our home, every day he watches the show, I can hear both he and my wife singing the show’s theme song and even my wife has talked about how she enjoys watching “Phineas and Ferb” alongside with him. In fact, I have sat with him many times as he schools me on the characters of the animated series and as a father, just watching his face and seeing him rewinding back to his favorite moments of the series.

So, I’m sure that what is happening in our household, happens in other households as well. So, for parents looking for a fun DVD for their children, “Phineas and Ferb: The Perry Files – Animal Agents”
is another fantastic DVD release! And my son gives this DVD, five stars and a very big “AWESOME!”.

At our home, “Phineas and Ferb” is the top animated series that is constantly played by my 9-year-old son. He loves the animated series and watches it over and over, and he hasn’t even gotten bored by it in the several years of watching it..

Every day he watches the show, I can hear both he and my wife singing the show’s theme song and even my wife has talked about how she enjoys watching “Phineas and Ferb” alongside with him. In fact, I have sat with him many times as he schools me on the characters of the animated series and as a father, just watching his face and seeing him rewinding back to his favorite moments of the series.

So, I’m sure that what is happening in our household, happens in other households as well and with the summer time here and the kids are out of school, parents need to keep their children occupied.

What best than the DVD release of “The Perry Files”, featuring 2.5 hours of “Phineas and Ferb”!

As for me, while the show is fun, there is only so much I can personally watch but for my son, this DVD was in his words…”Awesome!”. In fact, he loved all the extra cool Perry swag that came with the activity pack. So, while the children will love this release, it’s also a great way to bring families together, may it be to watch the episodes or put the mini-puzzle together.

Although, I may not have grasped the concept of why Phineas and Ferb’s older sister Candace is trying to bust her little brothers all the time or why there is a secret agent platypus staying with the family, I realize that this series is beloved by many, and my young son and my wife are among that demographic who love this series.

And for this DVD, I asked my 9-year-old son to assist me with the review by giving me words of what he thought of “The Perry Files” and all that came out of his mouth was “Awesome!”.

As a parent, the episodes were safe and fun to watch and I have to admit, for a children’s DVD, Disney has definitely released an impressive package with seven episodes (14-mini episodes total) of “Phineas & Ferb” and a few special features and hidden easter eggs to go along with this entire DVD. But the addition of the activity pack was literally the icing on the cake for my son! He loved it!

Overall, this is an wonderful and “awesome” release of “Phineas and Ferb” which fans of the series can’t go wrong with it and really, there is nothing I can even fault or say anything negative about because you get so much included with this DVD release.

For fans of “Phineas and Ferb”, “Phineas and Ferb: The Perry Files” is recommended and my son gives this DVD five stars and a very big “AWESOME!”.

Every day he watches the show and interesting enough, I can hear both he and my wife singing the show’s theme song and even my wife has talked about how she enjoys watching “Phines and Ferb” alongside with him.

As for me, I knew nothing about the show and I felt like a kid asking my son many questions of who is that character and that character and what is the plot of the series? So, this DVD was actually my first foray into the world of “Phineas & Ferb” and for my son, this DVD was in his words…”Awesome!”.

Because truthfully, I just thought it was a special Christmas episode and then when that episode was done, there were five more episodes to watch. And then you get to the main menu and there are Easter Eggs hidden throughout the menu, special features and you get another bonus episode of “Phineas and Ferb”, how cool is that?

Although, I may not have grasped the concept of why Phineas and Ferb’s older sister Candace is trying to bust her little brothers or why there is a secret agent platypus, I realize that this series is beloved by many, and my young son and my wife are among that demographic who love this series so much that I hear them singing the theme song nearly daily.

The episodes I did watch were fun but of course, my son can probably give the best description of this DVD and he just had one word to describe this DVD and that was “awesome”!

As a parent, the episodes were safe and fun to watch and I have to admit, for a children’s DVD, Disney has definitely released an impressive package with six episodes of “Phineas & Ferb” and many special features to go along with this entire DVD. I was very impressed by this DVD and I can definitely recommend this to parents or grandparents who want to keep their children entertained during the holiday season or a DVD for them to watch during those long holiday commutes.

Overall, this is a solid release of “Phineas and Ferb” which fans of the series can’t go wrong with it and really, there is nothing I can even fault or say anything negative about because you get so much in this DVD release. For fans of “Phineas and Ferb”, “Phineas and Ferb: A Very Perry Christmas”, my son gives this DVD five stars and a very big “AWESOME!”.
