Last Day of Summer, say goodbye to Phineas and Ferb this June!

"~There's 104 days of summer vacation and school comes along just to end it. So the annual problem for our generation  is finding a good way to spend it. Like Maybe...~" 

Can you hear the song in your head? Yeah! It's Phineas and Ferb!

Growing up, we all had our favorite cartoon shows. One of those was Disney’s Phineas and Ferb. This cartoon series is set in an American suburbia. It is about two young brothers who, out of summer boredom, invents these wild amazing things at their backyard. They have an older sister, Candice, who wants them to get busted (because of their crazy inventions). They also have a secret agent for a pet – Perry the Platypus with an arch nemesis Dr. Doofenshmirtz, an ‘evil’ mad scientist. 

Have I even mention that is cartoon is a musical comedy? They have awesome songs!  If you’re cool like me, you’ve probably loved this series too.

Surprise, surprise! There was a special episode aired last February.  In this particular episode, we get to see them FINALLY as teenagers! Disney’s Phineas and Ferb’s: “Act your age” was a special Valentine episode.

The show is running for almost five (5) years having them stay the same age and not growing up. For the show, they are always in summer vacations. Making them anachronistic. Being that said, to have an episode dedicated on them being teens, going to college, and more especially confirming the romance between the characters, was the best possible episode of this year.

Some fans even thought that it was the final episode of the show but a tweet from the creators, Dan Povenmire and Jeff ‘Swampy’ Marsh, denied it saying that it was just a special Valentine’s episode. Though Dan did admit in a Disney Insider interview that “Act Your Age” is one of his favorite episodes ever: “I’ll always consider it to be the emotional finale to the series. It ties up the big emotion thing which is Phineas and Isabella.” Swampy added that this is where they’ve been going all along.

The idea of having this episode was from the tons of fan mails received by the creators to have an episode for the relationship of Isabella and Phineas and all of them basically “growing up”. Remember that this show has run for almost five (5) years. Its fans are already teens by today more or less. Some are now going to college this fall. Well, the creators did not disappoint.

It's been a good five years of "summer" for us kids and kids at heart but all things must come to an end. Last May 7, 2015, it was officially announced that the series has wrapped up after four seasons. There will be a final hour-long episode titled "Last Day of Summer" that will premiere on June 12, 2015 on Disney XD, simulcast on Disney Channel. 

If you are saddened by this news, I'm sorry! But tell you what, don't be sad just yet! There will be a 73-hour marathon of the show that will begin on Disney XD on June 9, 2015! It was also announced that a stand-alone hour-long special titled "The O.W.C.A. Files" will premiere in fall 2015!

Maybe it's true that we need to put childish things away now and "grow up". But don't let "life" depress you and snatch all the dreams you had. Being a grown up means you can now have the chance to make your dreams come true. Isn't it kinda sweet of a deal?

Deep inside I believe that there is magic in being a kid. Genuine happiness is found in blissful innocence. The things that we have learned, done, and felt as a child can never be replaced in our memories. They were building blocks on which our lives are built upon. 

I hope you had a great childhood. I hope you won't forget the Disney magic. I hope that in your heart you live on as a child. Cinderella's fairy godmother best said it: "see the world not as it is but as it could be, if only you believe in courage and kindness, and occasionally just a little bit of magic." Something like that. :)

I'd be happy to know what you feel about this, comment them below!
