It’s the biggest battle that DreamWorks Animation has ever created…at least in terms of the fighters’ size, with Monsters vs Aliens. In this review, I’ll be looking into the studio’s tribute to classic sci-fi/horror movies of the 1950s and 1960s and see the similarities between the two, but sadly, it’s all in the wrong ways that caused this to be one of their flops…and by flop, I mean creatively.

Next is going to be Phineas and Ferb across The second dimension

I’ll admit I remember watching this movie as a kid in theaters and I enjoyed it at the time, but looking back on it now, the movie is not that good, maybe not the worst Dreamworks movie but it’s still not really that great, the story while has some interesting ideas is very poorly executed, the animation, while decent, doesn’t hold up that well, the characters are very poorly written, and the humor is really not good, honestly the only memorable thing from this movie is probably just the memes, overall not the worst Dreamworks movie but still not that good. So the next classic review is going to be Phineas and Ferb the Movie Across the 2nd Dimension, pretty fitting considering the revival of the original series is right around the corner, honestly I remember I was a huge Phineas and Ferb fan back when I was a kid and I remember really liking this movie a lot as a kid so it’ll be interesting to revisit this years later.

I remember when I saw this in theaters as a kid. But to be honest, this movie didn’t really stick with me compared to other DreamWorks movies from the 2000s, like the first two Shrek movies, Shark Tale, Madagascar, or even Flushed Away.

I checked out the Nickelodeon series when my family had basic cable. Let’s just say that in retrospect, it left as much to be desired as the film it originated from.

AniMat, I can understand if you’re worried about upsetting the fanbase with your review, but as someone who is a part of that fanbase that watches the film every Halloween, I can understand your perspective and respect that. Even I have to admit that it was mean spirited of General Monger telling Susan she’s going to be permanently cut off from contact with her family and friends and basically kept prisoner in an unfamiliar and strange place and treated less like a human and more like a creature no different from the other bizarre creatures they keep hidden and it’s hard not to feel sorry for Susan in that moment. There are some parts even I can agree with. And looks like Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension is next. As a former fan of Phineas and Ferb, that film is definitely PEAK; although I should warn you if you haven’t seen any episodes of the show, some plot elements might be confusing for a newcomer who watches the film first as their introduction. So it’s one of those films based on a cartoon that requires you to have watched the show itself to have some understanding of the plot.

Long time no see AniMat’s Seal Of Garbage. The last time we saw you was in the Christmas In New York Review. Anyways, I can’t wait for the Phineas and Ferb Movie review

Zoe Lindwall

I think the villain saves the movie for me.

The monster and aliens show has worse animation than the movie

Tom Jackson

I’m sorry Mat, I’m going to have to disagree with your rating. I don’t find it that bad. But, I’m looking forward to your thoughts on Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension

Oh my god, I can’t believe you actually didn’t like this movie on top of being that this is your first time watching this movie. I saw it in theaters back in 2009 as a kid, not sure I remember seeing in 3D or not, but I did saw it in theaters years ago. It been a long time since I rewatched as I do have the Blu-ray but even if I did rewatch again, I would consider it be just okay. There some things that I can agree with you about this film being dated like the 3D effects that Hollywood was obsessed over that trend during the late 2000s and early 2010s or that the writing wasn’t all that great or even the tone being so mean spirited which I didn’t notice myself until now when I do think about. As for positives, there are some things that I enjoyed more like the animation despite a bit too deep when it comes to realism and detailed textures, the action scenes, voice acting, and the characters mainly with the monsters of course. I think this is great concept about monsters fighting aliens as well a tribute to B-movies that was made in the 50s and 60s, but they could’ve handled much better with the execution when it comes to the story and the animation style too. Am I gonna be angry about this review? No. As long this is your opinion over a kids movie, I won’t be upset by it, though I do wonder if the fans of Monsters Vs Aliens will be upset about it by the time it comes out. Then again, you did made a negative review of the original Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs movie, also released back in 2009 that made fans upset which I also have to respect because of an opinion. Personally, Cloudy was handled better than Monsters vs Aliens when it comes to the concept and animation style, say what you will about it but the execution was handled better than this in terms of the goal they want to go with. Other than that, I be curious to see what fans will of this review when this release on Friday. For the Phineas and Ferb movie review, I don’t think I can’t comment on this since I haven’t seen the series yet or the upcoming revival despite the memes I’m familiar such as “If I have a nickel” meme. Curious to see how that review would go down.

This review shows that this movie DID NOT age well, IMO.

Zoe Lindwall

At least Susan is the only human who looks perfect

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

Absolutely bizarre this has caught on as a social media popular film. It's really just... not that great.
