LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and his 11-year-old daughter, Zhuri, make their animated debut in Disney’s new short-form series “Cartoonified! with Phineas and Ferb,” which drops all seven episodes on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, on Disney+.
The episode positions the NBA’s all-time leading scorer in an exaggerated challenge: a 300-point trick shot engineered by the titular stepbrothers. After James proclaims he can handle the attempt, Phineas reveals the basket sits thousands of feet in the air. Aided by trampolines, father and daughter ascend toward the rim while James questions the safety of a potential fall.
As James prepares to dunk, a shark snatches the ball. Zhuri, a volleyball player, bumps the ball free and spikes it through the hoop, securing the 300 points. The pair land on pillows before celebrating the feat.
Phineas and Ferb immediately propose a far more ambitious 3,000-point shot that would launch the group into the solar system. James declines with a quip: “How about you boys cartoonify Luka Doncic.”
James is the first professional athlete to appear in the “Cartoonified!” series.
