The Times Square kick-off included hundreds of “Phineas and Ferb” fans, a musical performance by middle school kids from The New Jersey Repertory Theatre Glee Club singing “Everything’s Better with Perry,” dancers and Phineas, Ferb and Agent P characters.

It culminated with the reveal of “Perry the Platy-bus,” a 27-foot Airstream trailer complete with bill, tail and googly eyes inspired by Phineas’ and Ferb’s pet platypus, Perry.

Fans watched the reveal as it streamed live on Disney Store’s 2,000 square foot LED digital display in Times Square.
