PHINEAS AND FERB THE MOVIE: CANDACE AGAINST THE UNIVERSE is an animated TV comedy on Disney+ based on the popular Disney Channel series PHINEAS AND FERB.
The movie opens with Candace, Phineas and Ferb’s older sister, riding a bike and singing a song about how the day is so beautiful. However, Candace keeps getting distracted by Phineas and Ferb’s antics. She can’t help but blame her brothers for ruining not only a beautiful day, but her whole entire summer.
After she sees a giant mechanical clown juggling Phineas and Ferb and their friends, she believes this will finally be the moment she can call her mom and catch them in the act. However, the mad scientist Dr. Doofenshmirtz accidentally turns the machine to lint, erasing the evidence of the boy’s invention as well as any chance of her mother believing Candace.
While driving by, Vanessa, the daughter of Dr. Doofenshmirtz, notices that Candace is upset. She stops to try to help Candace talk through her feelings. Candace notices a large metal object in the front lawn. Believing it’s another one of Phineas and Ferb’s inventions, Candace starts hitting it, but it turns out to be an alien spaceship, and both Vanessa and Candace are abducted by the aliens.
In a desperate attempt to escape, Candace and Vanessa launch all the escape pods in the ship, but only Vanessa is able to get into one. Candace is taken to an alien city on the planet named Feebla-Oot, and Vanessa ends up there too. Candace meets the city’s queen, Super Super Big Doctor. Candace is told she’s “the Chosen One,” and Candace is just happy that someone has finally acknowledged that she’s special. Things are not what they seem, however.
Meanwhile, Phineas and Ferb saw the spaceship kidnap Candace and Vanessa. Ferb manages to take a photo of Candace through the ship’s window. They notice a license plate inside the spaceship. With help from their friends, they build a portal to the planet of Feebla-Oot, but end up at Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s evil lair, where he’s built a spaceship to save his daughter. They fly the Doctor’s spaceship to find Vanessa and rescue Candace, who may not want to leave the utopia that’s free of her annoying little brothers. Phineas and Ferb’s pet platypus, Perry, who’s actually an undercover secret agent keeping tabs on the mad scientist, sneaks onto the spaceship to protect his caretakers. The adventure to rescue the girls turns out to be more dangerous than they imagined.
