"Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!" is a special episode of the animated television series Phineas and Ferb. and is part of the second season. It was aired on Disney XD on August 2, 2010 and Disney Channel on August 6, 2010. It is the first one-hour special, beating Phineas and Ferb's Christmas Vacation which is 45 minutes long with commercials. This episode was first seen at Comic-Con on July 25 from 3pm to 4pm in San Diego, California.

Plot

Phineas feels bored after he and Ferb have accomplished much throughout the summer. For a taste of adventure, the duo and their friends decide to travel around the world at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, so as to make a complete 24-hour day, in an effort to create the "biggest, longer, funnest summer day of all time".

Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz takes a trip to Tokyo with Vanessa. At first, Vanessa is amazed, but is later distraught to find out that her father has brought in a captured Major Monogram and has been making a plan to ruin the International Good Guy Convention with a giant water balloon and frame Monogram for it. She then accuses her father of always putting his work before her relationship with him, and decides to leave for Paris on her own. Around the same time, Perry catches wind of Monogram's whereabouts after hearing of a suspicious note sent to the O.W.C.A. (presumably sent by Doofenshmirtz).

In Tokyo, the gang meets with Stacy's cousins while getting vegetable oil used as fuel. While there, Vanessa joins with the group after being accidentally knocked off the Tokyo Tower by the giant balloon thanks to the intervention of an arriving Perry. Fearing for Vanessa's safety, Doofenshmirtz decides to abandon his plan and opts to rescue her, and Perry and Major Monogram are forced to help him.

In Paris, Candace sees Jeremy with a bunch of boys and girls and leaves. Isabella is upset as Phineas is completely oblivious to her feelings for him even in Paris. On the top of the Eiffel Tower, Ferb consults with a depressed Vanessa about her relationship with her father, telling her to try and meet him halfway in their relationship by socializing more. Ferb walks away for a moment; then Doofenshmirtz, Perry, and Major Monogram come to rescue her. Vanessa is initially upset at her father bringing 'work' again, but Doofenshmirtz complains of all the trouble and the help he needed from Perry and Monogram to travel halfway around the world to rescue Vanessa for her sake.

The group crashes on a desert island, which possesses only two palm trees and a big fat ox. The boat disintegrates leaving only the seats. After a desperate attempt to find a way, Phineas finally gives up and sits down to watch the sunset with Isabella like she wants, but she encourages him and he gets the idea to use Ferb's giant map as a massive paper airplane. With 1 minute left, Buford gives everyone back their bikes and the group is able to jump the pit using a makeshift ramp and arrive home with a second to spare. The parents arrive home too, but for once Candace says nothing as she enjoyed herself. As everyone sings "Summer Belongs to You", Jeremy comes home early and kisses Candace, calling her his girlfriend to her excitement.

Cultural references

During the song, "City of Love", Phineas can briefly be seen standing in front of the famous French Cabaret, Moulin Rouge while holding a pinwheel, most likely envisioning the use of the windmill on top as a propeller. This episode also pays homage to the popular Japanese dance tone "Caramelldansen" in which Stacy's relatives encourage Phineas and Ferb to participate in a dance and tune similar to the smash hit. Also in one part of the song, Isabella is seen waving a leek in her hand, similarly to Loituma Girl in the popular video known as "Leekspin" on YouTube.[1] Phineas is also seen digging up a yellow sponge and a pink starfish in the episode, as a reference to SpongeBob SquarePants.
