Phineas and Ferb: A Very Perry Christmas.

 

                            Phineas and Ferb: A Very Perry Christmas.

I loved this special a lot, it is one of my favorites that I watch all the 

time. It's one of those movies that gets better and better every time I 

watch it. The story of this is so well written and the animation is really 

good, you will never find better writers than Jeff "Swampy" Marsh 

and Dan Povenmire . So, with that, lets get to the story shall we:

It's the morning of Christmas Eve and Phineas and Ferb are shown flying 

through the air on the "dual toboggan" beds. Meanwhile, Candace is in 

her room, talking to her mom on her cellphone. Linda and Lawrence are 

waiting for Lawrence's parents at the airport as the flight from England 

has been delayed. Linda is getting quite bored with Candace's dilemma 

about the perfect gift for Jeremy and asks Candace what her brothers 

are up to after muttering, "Forgive me, boys.". Candace says that they 

are doing nothing, "which is weird." Candace quickly hangs up the phone 

and dashes to Phineas and Ferb's room.

She finds them sitting in their beds, having just landed in from outside. 

Candace is confused because she had not seen Phineas and Ferb on their 

trip through Danville in bed. Phineas mentions seizing the day without 

getting out of bed, and that they can cross that off their to-do list. 

Candace grabs the list from Ferb and notices that writing a letter 

to Santa Claus is number one on their list; she laughs and asks 

sarcastically when they wrote the list. When Phineas asks if Candace 

writes a letter to Santa, she laughs scornfully at them. Phineas, a bit 

upset, shows Candace a presentation of sightings of Santa Claus, and 

mentions that "making the most out of one day" is pretty interesting to 

him and Ferb.

Candace soon realizes that this could be the way to get the perfect 

present for Jeremy: have him write a letter to Santa, telling "in detail" 

what he wants most, and getting a hold of it to buy him the right gift 

without looking like a loser. Phineas points out that she could also just 

ask Jeremy what he wanted "to avoid any unnecessary 

complications", and once again, Candace laughs him off. Candace leaves 

and Phineas mentions how awesome Santa is: he gives everything to 

everyone else, and never asks for anything in return. He asks Ferb if he 

is thinking what he is thinking, and Ferb responds by handing him a 

blueprint. After a momentary gross-out (and a quick correction done by 

Ferb), Phineas decides to turn Danville into a giant thank-you card. Perry 

the Platypus puts a top hat on a snowman. The snowman comes to life 

and tells Perry "Wintertime's fun. Follow me!" A loud crash is heard, and 

the poor snowman's nose rolls over to Perry. He is next shown 

exiting the Agency's elevator into an agency Christmas party, still 

holding the carrot. Major Monogram spots him, eats Perry's carrot, and 

starts imitating the snowman that had just been hit by a plow. Carl the 

Intern mentions that it is "Secret Santa" time, and picks out Perry's 

present from underneath the tree. Perry opens it up to reveal "A Sal 

Tuscany Christmas" CD; Carl responds in a way that makes him seem like 

he is the one who is Perry's Secret Santa. Its note read "Your secret 

Santa has exquisite taste". Monogram's wristwatch starts making an "uh-

oh" sound; Monogram tells Perry to look at the monitor behind him. The 

Monogram on the screen is briefing Perry when Perry turns around and 

sees that Monogram is holding up a sign that looks like his shirt he 

wears when briefing Perry during the summer. Monogram tells Perry to 

turn around and finishes briefing Perry, who runs off. The agency party 

commences once again.

Jeremy gets an early wake-up call from Candace. She confuses him 

playing drums and asks, "Whatcha doin'?" Isabella is seen putting down 

her newspaper and looking as though she has sensed a disturbance in 

the "Whatcha Doin'?" force. Candace is talking about writing a letter to 

Santa when she is interrupted by Phineas and Ferb, raising a picture of 

Santa onto the roof. When she continues talking to Jeremy, she has 

forgotten what she was talking about. Jeremy reminds her that they 

were talking about giving letters to Santa. She begins to laugh him off, 

but stops, remembering her plan. Jeremy starts to ask Candace a 

question when she hangs up, thinking he doesn't suspect a thing. 

However, she begins to worry over whether or not it will work, since she 

doesn't have a clue, and begins pondering over what Jeremy would 

want. Phineas and Ferb are on the roof of their house, admiring their 

creation: a "Rest Stop for Santa". Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet arrive, 

Buford commenting, "Cool clubhouse". Phineas then explains that it is 

not a clubhouse, but "the ultimate rest and relaxation lounge perfectly 

tailored to the jolly rubenesque world traveler" or a rest stop for Santa. 

Phineas shows everyone the main highlights of the stop they have 

prepared for Santa, then explains why they have built it: as a thank-you 

to Santa. Phineas asks if they have written letters to Santa. Candace 

laughs in the house, and everyone stares toward her. Phineas finishes by 

asking if they ever wrote a thank you letter. They give the answer at the 

same time that they haven't written thank you letters because no one 

ever said anything about it.

Meanwhile, over at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Perry has just burst 

through Doofenshmirtz's wall. Shocked, Doofenshmirtz traps Perry by 

stringing lights around him and a bird on his bill, singing, "And a 

partridge on a Perry!" Doofenshmirtz continues and shows Perry 

the Naughtyinator. He explains that the naughty juices in the tank are 

vaporized and shot into the air. He then says that there is only one flaw 

in his plan: he doesn't hate Christmas. He explains that Christmas was 

always just okay in his childhood:that there was no "scarring back-

story" to go along with it. To further explain his feelings to Perry, he 

starts singing. He mentions that he did not even make the plans himself; 

they were mailed to him from his Uncle Justin from Borneo, where he is 

rumored to be in hiding. He gives Perry quite a shock when he presses a 

button and says there is nothing else to do, until a chair pops out of the 

ground and he flops in it, saying, "...but to sit and wait for a reason," 

which relieves Perry and the partridge. Phineas and Ferb are on a 

podium, announcing to everyone how they will be decorating Danville, 

and the decoration commences. A little festive music plays as a montage 

of the decoration. Candace is shown doing a dance while walking and 

singing a bit of "That Christmas Feeling" when she arrives at the 

Johnson Residence. She almost reveals what she is doing but stops 

herself. When Jeremy is distracted by the new arrival of tinsel, Candace 

is distraught and calls after him, saying that she "already licked the 

stamps!" Back at D.E.I., Doofenshmirtz is saying that all he wanted for 

Christmas was the ability to hate Christmas. A knock at the door brings 

him off his dilemma for a minute, and when he opens his door, there are 

some carolers singing We Wish You A Merry Christmas. Doofenshmirtz 

comments that this is one of the reasons why he just can't hate 

Christmas. However, when the carolers barge in and start asking for 

"figgy pudding" in their song, Doofenshmirtz gets so aggravated by them 

that he fires the Naughtyinator.

The North Pole's satellites have picked up that Danville is naughty. A 

long list of names streams out on a piece of paper, caught by Blay'n, who 

tusk-tusk at it. Clewn't comes over, complaining that children get worse 

and worse every year. A random elf comes over and starts blabbing to 

Blay'n about Clewn't (and keeps repeating the phrase "in fact"), and 

when he realizes that Blay'n has walked away, he mutters to himself " 

'just go up and talk to the first person you see... that's how you make 

friends!' I'm never going to another seminar." At the Flynn-Fletcher 

residence, Phineas, Ferb, and Candace have noticed that the sky has 

gone dark. Phineas states "Is it me, or does the sky look really dark and 

ominous, as if its foreshadowing events which will have a negative 

impact on our lives". A long line of mail trucks come driving up the

snowy drive, and the last one stops, a mailman getting out. He 

apologizes to Phineas and Ferb, saying that everyone's letter to Santa 

was returned after being branded naughty. Phineas asks Candace how 

that could possible, and then Candace then mentions how the boys got 

everyone in Danville involved in their "hare-brained schemes". Phineas, 

realizing Candace's point, suddenly thinks that this whole situation is his 

fault. He asks Candace "you think this could be my fault?" to which 

Candace replies, "Sometimes we do things without knowing they're 

naughty. Sometimes, we do a whole summer's worth of them!" Phineas 

is last seen looking disappointingly at the branded letter. Phineas and 

Ferb see in the news that Danville has been stamped naughty and that 

Santa is not coming to Danville. Upon waking up, Phineas sits straight up 

in bed, saying, "It was all a bad dream; Christmas wasn't canceled." 

Isabella points out that however many times he tries that method, it 

isn't going to work, then asks him if he's going to stay in bed for the rest 

of his life. Phineas replies with a "Why not?" Isabella points out that the 

mall closes in 20 minutes. The scene zooms out to show they are in a 

mattress store in the mall. Baljeet and Buford are discussing Christmas. 

Buford "has a method": act any way you want all year long, and then 

right before Christmas, perform one big selfless act of kindness. Baljeet 

mentions that he wants a kiss from someone under the mistletoe, to 

which Buford replies "I'm outta here" and leaves. Baljeet calls after him 

that he meant a nice girl, not Buford.

Meanwhile, over at D.E.I., the Naughtyinator is still running and the 

carolers are still hassling Doofenshmirtz for some figgy pudding. ("We 

won't go until we get some, it's the principle of the thing!") Perry 

chatters angrily at them and Doofenshmirtz complains that the carolers 

are still not getting it through their heads that Christmas is gone and 

storms off. One of the carolers suggests the song "But It's Christmas, 

Becky!" to which another caroler replies, probably Becky, "You 

have got to get over me, Josh."

Candace and Jeremy are outside a store, and Jeremy is talking on his 

cellphone. When he hangs up he explains to Candace that Suzy is pretty 

upset that Santa is not coming to Danville, and that he needs to get 

home. When Candace tries to get him to do some last minute window 

shopping, Jeremy asks what is really wrong. The way Candace tries to 

explain that she wants to know what Jeremy wants for Christmas is a bit 

confusing, so Jeremy ends up leaving, baffled. Phineas, Isabella, and 

Baljeet are lamenting the fact that Danville was branded naughty when 

Phineas gets an idea to go to a radio station and broadcast a song to the 

North Pole. Blay'n and Clewn't see what is going on and decide to come 

to Danville to see what's gone wrong. Doofenshmirtz is telling the 

carolers that when he went into the kitchen to get some almond brittle 

("Love it!"), he actually did find some figgy pudding (a lot of it) and now 

is quite sheepish at how easily the problem could have been solved.

Phineas and his friends are cleaning up the materials used in the 

broadcast. Phineas asks if there is any chance that the elves of the North 

Pole had heard it, then two of Santa's elves show up, Blay'n and Clewn't. 

Perry is wriggling and trying to get out of his trap when the Sal Tuscany 

CD he got from his Secret Santa falls onto the floor. Doofenshmirtz spots 

it and starts to play it, enjoying the last few hours until Christmas is 

destroyed.

Phineas is wondering if the Danville branding was a mistake when 

Candace walks up. Phineas introduces Blay'n and Clewn't as two of 

Santa's elves, to which Candace replies, "You've got to be kidding me." 

Blay'n remarks that it is more like the city itself is misbehaving, but that 

something is definitely not right around Danville.

Perry's hat is making the same "Uh-oh" sound that Monogram's watch 

was making earlier. A miniscule television pops out of the hat and 

Monogram appears on the screen, telling Perry that Carl actually did not 

give Perry the CD and to not play the CD. Doofenshmirtz conveniently 

chooses this time to crank up the volume. He listens to We Wish You A 

Merry Christmas, which has grown on him. Suddenly, Sal Tuscany sings 

"Christmas can not be destroyed, not even by a Naughtyinator!" This 

then causes the Naughtyinator to break and Doofenshmirtz is left 

puzzled as to how Sal Tuscany did that. Doofenshmirtz curses to himself 

and Perry jumps up and punches him.

Baljeet is sad about the fact that he will never kiss a girl under the 

mistletoe when Buford gives him a wedgie, saying that he will never get 

to his one great act of kindness. Phineas asks Isabella if there was a 

Christmas wish that she was afraid of losing, to which she replied that 

she didn't really celebrate Christmas, but Hanukkah was excellent. 

Seeing her mistake, she quickly tries to act sad in an attempt to side 

'with them. Phineas asks the elves if they really seem like bad kids, to 

which Blay'n replies that everyone was reading nice — except for Buford. 

Phineas says that the elves should contact Santa and tell him to come to 

Danville. The elves say that it is not that simple and that Santa is not 

coming to Danville. Phineas decides to bring Christmas to Danville. 

Getting into the sleigh, Phineas goes over everyone's stations: Candace 

will keep track of who gets what present; Blay'n and Clewn't will make 

the toys; Isabella and Buford will wrap the presents; and Baljeet will 

feed the presents into the gift shooter, manned by Ferb. Before they take 

off, Buford is still curious about Phineas and Ferb's rest-stop for Santa, 

so he asks Phineas "Are you sure [it's] not a clubhouse?". Annoyed, 

Phineas replies "Yes I'm sure".

The beginning of the trip takes a turn for the worse than the clouds 

created by the Naughtyinator block Phineas's vision. Buford goes back 

down and tells everyone to turn on their Christmas lights, clearing up the 

sky. This gives him his one big act of selfless kindness. A montage takes 

place, showing the kids doing their various jobs.

Jeremy Johnson has appeared on Candace's computer. Candace tells 

them to skip this house and cheers, glad that she got Jeremy the right 

present. When Ferb tries to shoot the last gift, it gets stuck in the gift 

shooter. Candace mentions that it was Wendy Stinglehopper's present 

and that she asked for a really big hat. Baljeet goes to free the present 

and gets caught on it, falling down Wendy's chimney safely because of

the parachute, right before Phineas calls out "Baljeet!" Before Baljeet 

went through Wendy's chimney, he yelled "goodbye my friends!" Wendy 

gets really excited that Baljeet brought her the hat and kisses him on the 

cheek under the mistletoe. He laughs lightly, then grabs and kisses her. 

Baljeet leaves, saying "Later!"

Perry is now seen jumping out the window, and Doofenshmirtz mutters 

to himself that he hates Christmas. He then realizes what he has just 

said, and cheers because he has gotten his Christmas wish: to be able to 

hate Christmas. Upon arriving home, Phineas congratulates everyone on 

their work. Candace excuses herself and prepares to go see Jeremy. 

Baljeet and Buford arrive, Baljeet commenting that Phineas's house is on 

fire. Phineas realizes that it is not smoke, but steam. As they get onto 

the roof, Santa comes out. Doofenshmirtz is complaining about how 

much he hates Christmas and smashes Perry's Sal Tuscany CD on the 

floor. Doofenshmirtz decides to call his Uncle Justin and thank him for 

the Naughtyinator plans, but looks at the package closely this time and 

realizes the package says "Barneo", not "Borneo". The operator tells him 

that Barneo is in the North Pole. Looking closely at the smashed CD on 

the floor, he sees that the letters of "A Sal Tuscany" can be rearranged 

to spell "Santa Claus" (with an embarrassing left over "Y" in the mix). 

He then looks at the cover of the CD case and sees that Sal Tuscany is 

really Santa Claus, poorly disguising his face with a false black mustache 

over his white one. Candace is running out the door to go to Jeremy's 

house, but when she opens the door, Jeremy is already there. Jeremy 

gives Candace her present: a pair of earrings. Jeremy said he knew 

Candace liked them in the magazine and was going to make her good 

necklace into a pair just like them. When Candace asks how he afforded 

it, he said he sold his guitar. Candace hands Jeremy the present she got 

for him: the silver guitar that he had wanted. It turns out that Candace 

sold her good necklace to get the guitar. They tell each other the gifts 

are perfect and then give each other a hug. Phineas says he thought 

Santa was not coming to Danville, to which Santa says that he would not 

want to miss out on the "Cool rest stop" Phineas had made. He also 

thanks Phineas for doing "The Danville run" and reads Phineas's 

Christmas wish to everyone: to be like Santa for one day. Santa asks if 

he can have the clubhouse, which Buford blurts "I knew it was a 

clubhouse!" Phineas says that he can, before Santa hitches the rest stop 

to his sleigh and flies away. After Santa leaves, Phineas asks Ferb what 

his Christmas wish was. Ferb tells them to look at the paper, which bears 

the headline "World Peace". Phineas is astounded, but that actually was 

not what Ferb was looking at. In the bottom corner of the paper, there is 

a picture of Ferb playing a harmonica with the headline "Local Boy Gets 

Harmonica".

The Flynn-Fletcher station wagon pulls into the driveway and Linda, 

Lawrence, and Lawrence's parents pile out. As everyone heads inside, 

Grandma proclaims that she made figgy pudding. We get a brief 

glance at what everyone gets for Christmas Day. At the end, Perry the 

Platypus is seen putting a hat on a snowman, as he did before going to 

the Agency's Christmas party. It looks as if the snowman was run over 

again, because a carrot rolled over to Perry, but a vegetable truck tipped 

over, spilling all the vegetables.
