+Kay Hill wrangled us into watching the "Phineas and Ferb" Star Wars special last night (it's still available on On Demand on Comcast, at least), and, damn, it was a hoot. They managed to graft the characters — in-universe versions of them — into the "A New Hope" (mostly) storyline, with the main movie going on and the characters subtly participate in it. With musical numbers.
It's extraordinarily cleverly done, and a hoot to boot, esp. if you like the (always funny and clever) "Phineas and Ferb" cartoon.
If for no other reason, this one show made me glad that Disney bought the Star Wars franchise.

+Gretchen Sher, we need to find this!
YES.
I was not in the mood for it last night, and it had me hooked 30 seconds in. It's truly marvelous.
To whet your appetite, one of the musical numbers: http://youtu.be/Q_2ejqOQfGo
(Lots of the bits are out on YouTube, surprisingly enough — but ignore the official trailer, which is utterly bereft of the charm of all this.)
