Simon Pegg And Nick Frost Are Reprising Shaun Of The Dead For ‘Phineas And Ferb’


Take car. Go to Mum’s. Kill Phil (“Sorry!“). Grab Liz. Go to the Winchester. Have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. THEN wait a few years for the film to gain universal cult status. Complete a trilogy of films in the spiritual ilk of Shaun. Become bankable stars in our own right. Then revisit the original characters for a loving homage on a much beloved animated Disney Channel channel. How’s that for a slice of fried gold!

The now classic rom-zom-com Shaun of the Dead hits its tenth anniversary this year, if you can believe that. And in the years that have follwed, stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have done rather well for themselves. So now seems about the right time to dip the toes back into that old familiar well one more time, for nostalgia’s sake.
The wildly popular Disney Channel show Phineas and Ferb will bring Pegg and Frost on board as guest stars, reprising their Shaun roles of Shaun and Ed for an upcoming Halloween episode. Simon Pegg let the news slip with one of them there fancy internet Tweets.

Phineas and Ferb is one of those kids shows that doesn’t bother to hide the fact that it’s pandering to adults just as much, with the show previously airing crossovers with both the Marvel Universe as well as Star Wars.

How the Shaun of the Dead characters will fit in to the restraints of a children’s show remains to be seen. But given the fact that the pair were both essentially overgrown boys anyway, it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
Though that said, I wouldn’t be holding my breath waiting for the phrase “Fuck a-doodle-do!” to make an appearance, right?
Right??
