They're baaaaaack! Those fun loving brothers, Phineas and Ferb, along with their parents, sister Candice, and friends Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford, are back for more wild and crazy adventures this summer. Alongside them, but off on his own daring escapades, is their pet platypus, Perry the Platypus, who works for Major Monogram of OWCA to take down the somewhat evil, but delightfully inept, Doctor Doofenschmirtz.


Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

In the new season, Phineas, Ferb, and the crew tackle another 104 days of summer, filled with exciting new adventures and some unforgettable milestones. The boys will break several world records, Candace will take her driver’s license test, and Perry will finally make a trip to the vet.

The Kids' Suite - Star Wars Skeleton Crew

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. It reminded me of Goonies, The Last Starfighter, and Treasure Planet, all in a good way. And the music by Mick Giacchino (son of Michael Giacchino who has composed many familiar Disney, Pixar, and Marvel scores) is perfect.


Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is available on DisneyPlus.

Karate Kid: Legends looks like such an intriguing blend of nostalgia (it looks like Mr. Miyagi's house has not changed), and something new, with Li Fong using both Kung Fu and Karate.


Here's the official synopsis from Sony: 

In Karate Kid: Legends, after a family tragedy, kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) is uprooted from his home in Beijing and forced to move to New York City with his mother. Li struggles to let go of his past as he tries to fit in with his new classmates, and although he doesn't want to fight, trouble seems to find him everywhere. When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition – but his skills alone aren't enough. Li's kung fu teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) enlists original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) for help, and Li learns a new way to fight, merging their two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown.
