"Milo Murphy's Law" News & Discussion Thread

[Choppasmith]

It's kind of surprising (in a good way) that Weird Al Yankovic will play the lead role. I thought that since he's mainly a musician (who makes a second career out of voice acting) that he'd be too busy to play the lead role in a cartoon show. Anyway, this article I found shows more of the extended cast. To be specific

http://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/weird-al-yankovic-stars-in-disney-xds-milo-murphys-law/

" Sabrina Carpenter (Girl Meets World) and Mekai Curtis (Kirby Buckets) as Milo’s pals Melissa Chase and Zack Underwood. Dan Povenmire and Jeff Swampy Marsh will also voice pistachio protectors Vinnie Dakota and Balthazar Cavendish."

"Additional voices are provided by Christian Slater as the school crossing guard and Milo’s foe Elliot Decker, Vanessa Williams as Zack’s mom Eileen, Sarah Chalke as science teacher Mrs. Murawksi, Jemaine Clement as TV’s Dr. Zone, Mackenzie Phillips as Principal Milder, Chrissie Fit as classmate Amanda Lopez, Vincent Martella as classmate Bradley Nicholson, Diedrich Bader as Milo’s dad Martin, Pamela Adlon as his mom Brigette, Kate Micucci as his sister Sara, Dee Bradley Baker as his dog Diogee, Gregory Michael Cipes as classmate Mort Schaeffer, Michael Culross as high school teacher Kyle Drako and Kevin Michael Richardson as Coach Nolan Mitchell"

I have to think maybe "Get the lead role on a cartoon" was on his bucket list or something.

But anyway, liking that cast. So excited!

Weird Al shared the theme song on Twitter (which someone posted in another thread, probably not knowing about this one) and said that there's more news coming tomorrow.

@PhineasPines, this might interest you. I remember you saying you were worried that we haven't seen a single clip.

After one of his albums finally reached #1 on the Billboard charts, it was probably the right time to find a new goal.

Here is Weird Al's tweet, and the opening sequence again for discussion in this thread:

That theme song is crazy catchy. I'm hooked already!

Nice Can't wait for this. It's from the same guys behind "Phineas and Ferb," so this should be good.

I agree, and I wouldn't expect anything less for a theme song by Weird Al.

Milo Murphy's Law will premiere on October 3. The first episode will be available on the Disney XD app, Disney XD's YouTube channel, and On Demand starting September 26.

OMG Ward and May are Time Travel Agents! Gah! Hurry up October!

Edit: So is Doctor Zone a parody of Doctor Who?

 

[Dudley]

It looks great. I can't wait to see the first episode!
Also according to Kidscreen, each episode is 22 minutes. A departure from P&F's 11 minute format.

I'm not really sure if they meant that or just 22 minutes without the commercials (meaning 2 11 minute episodes). If episodes are 22 minutes, I certainly wasn't expecting that.

Looks interesting. I can see this possibly surpassing two seasons like Phineas and Ferb.

I know it's a month wait - but still, I'm looking forward to seeing how much better this show can be than Phineas & Ferb ever was for me... The opening theme give me some confidence, I'll admit.

 

[Red Arrow]

I find it very hard to be hyped for this. I really didn't like Phineas and Ferb.

 

[jane188]

Maybe Dan and Swampy are doing the same thing !!?

 

[Eggy]

I hope it's equally good as the duo's previous show Phineas and Ferb because that show was amazing and Milo Murphy's Law looks interesting.

 

[DeanBurrito25]

I'm still a little amazed that Weird Al will be able to fully commit to this show not as a guest star, nor just as an occurring role, but as the protagonist. That by itself is pretty neat, and it makes a ton of sense once you remember he's on Disney's payroll now.

The intro has already got me hooked. Admittedly, it will take some adjustment hearing Weird Al's voice coming out of a teenage boy, but then again he sounds exactly the same as he did 30 years ago so I can overlook that. The only character design reminiscent of Phineas and Ferb so far is the dog, which is a good sign. I believe Disney XD is going to give a sneak preview of the pilot in September on their YouTube page, so I look forward to it.

First Promo!!!! Yep, this is going to be awesome!
