‘Phineas and Ferb’ Take on ‘Twilight’

Everyone is eager to relate anything they can to Twilight these days, hoping to draw the attention of the many fans or just having a little fun with it. The latest to take on Twilight is the cartoon Phineas and Ferb which will draw on both the vampires and werewolves from The Saga while using some voice talent from True Blood. Check out a clip from Phineas and Ferb below:

“That’s the Spirit!: The Curse of Candace” – Phineas and Ferb

True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are going to be appearing on a Disney series, specifically on Phineas and Ferb. The two are lending their voices to the animated series’ Halloween flavored episode. They appear in the segment called “The Curse of Candace”. Phineas and Ferb’s older sister, Candace, goes to see the newest teen vampire movie, which is a parody of Twilight in the best way.

Moyer, who is best known as the vampire king, Bill Compton, is voicing a pretty boy vampire named Jared. Paquin voices the fake movie’s female lead, Kristen. If you’re sharp like a tack, you’ll notice Kristen is named after Twilight’s star, Kristen Stewart.

You can check out a clip of the episode at TV Guide. Now if you’ve ever seen Twilight, you’ll know there’s also a teenaged werewolf. Phineas and Ferb includes one of those in its parody, and who better to voice a teen wolf than the original Teen Wolf himself, Michael J. Fox. Fox voices the well-built, shirtless and appropriately named Michael. For a Disney series, this parody is pretty sharp. I say we all give it a round of applause for going there and using True Blood stars and Fox to make it’s jokes all the more hilarious.


I love Phineas and Ferb, it’s cute, smart and fun, and they have the best theme song. The song is written by the band Bowling for Soup, and is a blast to hear live. I can’t believe I didn’t hear about this episode sooner, I’m going to see if I can catch it again this month.

Did you catch this episode of Phineas and Ferb? If you didn’t see it, tune in to The Disney Channel, they frequently replay episodes! For instance the episode will be played at 9am EST and 4pm EST tomorrow (10/10/11), 5:30am EST on Tuesday (10/11/11), and 7:30pm EST Wednesday (10/12/11). You get the idea, tune in this month and you’ll see it!
