Sandwich chain's kids meals to showcase Disney toon

Subway has found Perry.

After promoting “Wreck-It Ralph,” the sandwich chain is moving onto its next Disney property, pairing up with the Mouse House for “Phineas and Ferb.”

Subway’s new kids meal program will revolve around the animated series, a top draw on Disney Channel among kids and tweens, and feature the show’s characters on six reusable Fresh Fit for Kids bags, available at 25,000 locations. Each bag includes a download code for a “Phineas and Ferb” episode, app or song.

Program starts today and runs through April 14.

Tie in is Platypus Day, on March 2, that Disney is using to launch the new season of “Phineas and Ferb,” which returns March 1 with new episodes.

Separately, “Phineas and Ferb” creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh will co-host a Top 30 Countdown and “Take Over” of Radio Disney on Feb. 24 and March 1.

And Disney Channel and Disney XD will promote show on its websites with “How to Draw Perry” and “Doof’s Daily Dirt” videos and an “Agent P: Return of the Platypus” game.

With Disney rallying its younger viewers around Perry and friends, Subway hopes the promos will help send families their way.

“Subway is very happy to be teaming up with Disney on yet another family-friendly program like ‘Phineas and Ferb,'” said Michelle Cordial, director of marketing development, Subway Franchise Advertising Fund Trust. “Our relationship with Disney helps us further expand our reach and bring new fans of all ages into the fold. ‘Phineas and Ferb’ reminds kids about empowerment while rewarding them with special access to digital content and a fun and functional bag they can reuse.”
