DVD Review: Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel

Spoilers Below

Right now you can go on Amazon and purchase every one of the episodes featured on this home release for about $1.99 and in a lot of cases they give you two episodes on one purchase so in a lot of ways you are just paying a dollar each. This includes the Mission Marvel special that aired this Summer on Disney Channel. Yep, right now. GO! $1.99 and it’s all yours.

So why pay $20 for the physical copy? There really isn’t a good reason. You get a comic book, and you know what? You can get plenty of comics at your local store for $3-$4 each and they read better. You get posters! Well, yea but you could always just print them right now on special paper and make your own pin-ups. Not to mention that the Phineas and Ferb Magazine special they did for the Marvel cross-over which had better posters anyway.

I don’t understand why we can’t get deleted scenes, or making of featurettes to make me REALLY want to buy this. I got it for free, and I still think I got ripped off! This my dear readers is called a ‘cash cow’ and it’s Disney’s attempt at cashing in on a very good special which is the only thing of redeeming value on here, but as mentioned you can save $18 buy purchasing it on Amazon. This is also maybe the fastest home release I’ve ever seen. I mean, this thing aired in August and in less than three months it’s already out? Maybe if Disney took its time with the package and put on some cool special features, I could see myself recommending this. Otherwise, this release is a lost cause.
