Phineas and Ferb (also known as Disney's Phineas and Ferb) is a two-time Emmy award nominated animated television series.[1] Originally broadcast as a preview on August 17, 2007 on Disney Channel, the series follows two suburban[2] stepbrothers[3] on summer vacation. Each day the pair devise ambitious, involved plans and inventions to stave off boredom, often bringing them into conflict with their snoopy sister. The series follows a standard plot system; running gags occur every episode, and the B-Plot always features the boys' pet platypus acting as a secret agent to fight an evil scientist named Heinz Doofenshmirtz.

Creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh met as layout artists on The Simpsons and later worked together on the Nickelodeon series Rocko's Modern Life. Phineas and Ferb was conceived after Povenmire sketched a triangular boy - the blueprint for the titular Phineas - in a restaurant. Povenmire and Marsh developed the series concept together and pitched to networks for 16 years before securing a run on the Disney Channel.[3]

The series is also known for its musical numbers, which have appeared in every episode since the first-season "Flop Starz". Disney's managers particularly enjoyed the episode's song, "Gitchee, Gitchee Goo", and requested that one appear in each subsequent episode.[4] The show's creators write and record each number, and vary musical tempo depending on each song's dramatic use.[5]

Plot and humor

See also: List of Phineas and Ferb episodes
Povenmire drew inspiration for the show from his boyhood in Mobile, Alabama.[6]

The show follows the adventures of stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, who live in the town of Danville and are determined to pursue an active summer vacation and defeat boredom.[3] Their sister, Candace, is obsessed with "busting" their schemes and ideas, and usually calls their mother to report the boys' activities.[4] The boys' pet platypus, Perry, meanwhile acts as a secret agent for an all-animal government organization[7][8] called the "O.W.C.A." (Organization Without a Cool Acronym), fighting the evil Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz.[9]

Much of the series' humor relies on running gags used in every episode with slight variation.[10] For example, almost every episode features an adult asking Phineas if he is not too young to be performing some complex activity, to which he responds "Yes, yes I am."[3] Perry and Doofenshmirtz's confrontations almost always lead to the eventual destruction of whatever contraption Phineas and Ferb have built that day.[9] Ferb is silent by convention, usually uttering only a few lines per episode.[11] Other running gags include catchphrases, such as Phineas's line "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" and Doofenshmirtz's "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"[12]

Aspects of the show's humor are aimed at adults,[11] including its frequent pop-cultural references[13] and occasional double-entendres.[14] Creator Povenmire, having previously written for Family Guy, sought to create a show less raunchy but with the same use of comic timing, employing humorous blank stares, expressionless faces, and clever wording.[4] Povenmire describes the show as a combination of Family Guy and Spongebob Squarepants.[15] Jeff Marsh said the show was not created just for kids, but simply did not exclude them as an audience.[11][16]

Characters

A platypus was included in the series due to its interesting appearance.[17]
Main article: List of characters in Phineas and Ferb

The series' main characters live in a blended family, a premise the creators considered underused in children's programming and which reflected Marsh's own upbringing.[11] The choice of a platypus as the boys' pet was similarly inspired by media underuse, as well as to exploit its striking appearance.[17]

The creators sought to distinguish the show by characterizing its cast as fun-loving, not spiteful or cruel. Marsh called the characters "cool, edgy and clever without [...] being mean-spirited." Animation director, Rob Hughes, concurred: "in all the other shows every character is either stupid or a jerk, but there are no stupid characters or jerks in this one."[4]

Music

"Every episode since [Flop Starz] has a song in it. It's not always the characters singing onscreen — they don't break into song just to advance the plot. The music doesn't come out of nowhere, sometimes it's just a montage over action. We've done every genre known to man: ABBA, Broadway show tunes, 16th-century madrigals[...]"

Dan Povenmire on the songs.[4]

Phineas and Ferb follows structural conventions Povenmire and Marsh developed while writing Rocko's Modern Life, whereby each episode features "a song or a musical number, plus a big action/chase scene". The creators' original pitch to Disney emphasized Perry's signature "secret agent theme" and the song from the episode "Flop Starz". Disney's managers enjoyed the songs and asked Povenmire and Marsh to write one for each episode.[4]

The songs span many genres, from funk[5] to Broadway show tunes.[4] Each is written in an intensive session during episode production: a concept, score, and lyrics are developed in approximately forty minutes.[5]

The title sequence music, performed by American band Bowling for Soup, was nominated for an Emmy award in 2008.[1] The creators originally wrote a slower number, more like a "classic Disney song", but the network felt changes were needed to appeal to modern children and commissioned a rock/alternative version which made the final cut.[6]

Origins

Early inspirations

Co-creator Dan Povenmire attributes the show's genesis to his early childhood experiences in Mobile, Alabama, where his mother told him never to waste a day of summer. To occupy himself Povenmire undertook projects like hole-digging and home movie-making. Povenmire recalled, "My mom let me drape black material all the way across one end of our living room to use as a space field. I would hang little models of spaceships for these little movies I made with a Super 8 camera."[4][6][18]

Conception

File:DanSwampyAward.jpg
Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, co-creators of the show, accept an Environmental Achievement Award for writing an episode of Rocko's Modern Life in 1993. Their time on that series inspired them to create Phineas and Ferb.

At college in the mid-nineties Povenmire took up animation professionally,[19] working alongside future Phineas and Ferb co-creator Jeff Marsh as a layout artist on The Simpsons. The two bonded over mutual tastes in humor and music, becoming fast friends. They continued their working relationship as a writing team on the Nickelodeon series Rocko's Modern Life,[3] where they conceived the idea for their own series.[3]—"Well, this show's going to end eventually; let's create something that we can work on together, where[...] we can be in charge."[11] Whilst eating dinner at a Wild Thyme restaurant in South Pasadena, California, Povenmire drew a quick sketch of a "triangle kid" on butcher paper.[20] He tore it out and called Marsh that night to report, "Hey, I think we have our show."[17]

The triangle doodle sparked rapid development of characters and designs.[20] Povenmire decided that his sketch "looked like a Phineas", and named Ferb after a friend who "owns more tools than anyone in the world."[21] The creators based their character designs on angular shapes in homage to the famous Looney Tunes animator/director Tex Avery, adding geometric shapes to the backgrounds for continuity.[20]

Pitching and pickup

Drawn on butcher paper, this first drawing of Phineas began a rapid growth of characters and the outline of the artistic style.[4]

Their early attempts to pitch the show failed and, though they remained committed to the concept, Povenmire and Marsh began to drift apart after their work on Rocko's. Marsh moved to London and worked on shows including Postman Pat and Bounty Hamster. Povenmire began working on the primetime FOX show Family Guy,[3] always carrying a Phineas and Ferb portfolio[17] for convenient pitching to networks like Cartoon Network and Fox Kids. These networks passed on the show, believing the series' premise was too complex to succeed.[3]

Povenmire persisted and later pitched the series to Nickelodeon, where it was considered by high-level executives but rejected again as too complicated.[3] Then, after 16 years of trying, Povenmire landed a pitch with Disney. The network did not immediately accept the show, but told Povenmire they would keep the packet. Povenmire assumed this meant an end to negotiations, aware that the phrase usually "means they throw it in the trash later." Disney then surprised him by accepting.[19] Said Povenmire, "Disney was the first to say, 'Let's see if you can do it in 11 minutes.' We did it in the pilot and they said, 'Let's see if you can do it for 26 episodes.'"[4]

Povenmire worried that his work on Family Guy—an adult show known for its lowbrow humor—would concern Disney, which markets primarily to children. But the Disney Channel's Senior Vice President of Original Series, Adam Bonne, was a Family Guy who appreciated Povenmire's connection to the show and received his pitch well.[4]

After the Disney Channel accepted the show, Povenmire and Marsh turned their attention to the company's overseas executives. Instead of a normal script, the two drew out storyboards and played them in a reel. Povenmire voiced over the reel with his dialogue and added sound effects. This novel approach secured the executives' support.[6]

Production

See also: Phineas and Ferb on Youtube

Writing style

The show uses four major writers to devise story ideas according to "strict guidelines", such as that the boys' schemes never be "magical." Stories are reviewed at weekly sessions on a Monday,[22] then simultaneously scripted and storyboarded.[11] A very rough design is built before the storyboard, featuring little more than suggested scenes and dialogue, is drafted; the writers then gather for a "play-by-play" walkthrough of the storyboard in front of the whole crew, whose reactions to the jokes are assessed before rewrites are made.[22] Povenmire has described writing for laconic characters like Ferb and Perry as incredibly difficult, as they "basically disappear" in the creation process.[11] The writers as well include running gags in every episode, which are generally lines spoken by characters.[3][11][12]

Visual aspects and animation

The stages of development for a scene during the opening theme, from the original draft (top) to the final design (bottom).

Rough Draft Studios in South Korea animates the series in traditional 2-D.[23][24] Povenmire undertakes the bulk of production direction, along with Zac Moncrief and Robert Hughes.[25] The series adopts artistic features from animator Tex Avery, such as geometric shapes integrated into characters, objects, and backgrounds. Dan Povenmire said of this inclusion, "There's a little bit of Tex Avery in there — he had that very graphic style [in his later cartoons]."[20] Triangles are featured as an easter egg in the background of every episode, sometimes in trees or buildings.[16]

Bright colors are also a prominent element of the animation. Marsh elaborates, "The idea at the end of the day was candy. One of the things that I think works so well is that the characters are so bright and candy-colored and our backgrounds are a much more realistic depiction of the world: the soft green of the grass, the natural woods for the fence. In order for all of the stuff [sic] that they do to work, their world needs to be grounded in reality." The designers sought to keep their characters visually simple, so that kids "would easily be able to draw [them] themselves." Characters were also crafted to be recognizable from a distance, a technique the creators say is based on Matt Groening's goal of making characters recognizable by silhouette.[16]

Cast

Phineas and Ferb are voiced by Vincent Martella and Thomas Sangster respectively.[26] Sangster was one of many British actors cast thanks to Marsh's seven years in the United Kingdom, which left him keen to use British voice actors.[27] The rest of the cast includes Ashley Tisdale as the sister, Candace, Dee Bradley Baker as the secret agent platypus, Perry, and Caroline Rhea as the mother, Linda.[26] The co-creators also voice two regular characters, Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram.[27]

The show's casting organization is responsible for selecting most of the voice actors and actresses, choosing actors such as Vincent Martella and Mitchel Musso for major roles based on perceived popularity with target demographics. Co-creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh select guest stars, casting people that they "really want to work with". They also solicit guest roles from actors they feel would lend an interesting presence to the show.[21]

Guest stars have included pop-culture figures like Damian Lewis and film star Cloris Leachman. Povenmire and Marsh have also solicited several The Rocky Horror Picture Show cast members as guest stars, including Richard O'Brien, Tim Curry, and Barry Bostwick.[21][28] Richard O'Brien's participation eventually became regular, as he was cast to play Lawrence Fletcher, the boys' father, who appears in a majority of episodes.[29][28]

Critical reception

Reviews

"I heard so many raves about this show I just had to sample it. And you know what? Score another point for children's programming. Phineas is a short 'toon that zooms all over the place in 15 minutes. [...] This series sort of reminded me of an animated version of Parker Lewis Can't Lose, and the writing was clever without being too cute."

Phineas and Ferb has received generally very positive reviews. The New York Times commented favorably, describing the show as "Family Guy with an espionage subplot and a big dose of magical realism". It considered the pop-culture references ubiquitous "but [placed] with such skill that it seems smart, not cheap."[13] Whitney Matheson wrote in her USA Today blog "Pop Candy" that the series was an achievement in children's programming. Matheson applauded the clever writing and called it "an animated version of Parker Lewis Can't Lose."[30] Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media.com praised the show's clever, witty humor and high-paced plot, giving it three out of five stars.[31]

Variety noted the show's appeal to all ages with its "sense of wit and irreverence."[32] Similar reviews have emphasized the series' popularity with adults; Elastic Pop's Rebecca Wright wrote, in a review for the volume one DVD, "As an adult, I really enjoyed watching this Phineas and Ferb DVD, and I think it is one that the whole family can enjoy." Wright also called the series' "irreverent style" reminiscent of The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.[33] Wired's Matt Blum has several times stated in reviews and interviews on the series that he "can stand to watch just about anything with [his] kids, but [he] actually look[s] forward to watching Phineas and Ferb with them."[10][11]

Negative reviews charge the series with a lack of originality. Maxie Zeus of Toon Zone argued that the show is "derivative, but obviously so, and shorn of even the best features of what has been stolen." Zeus took issue with the writing, feeling that certain jokes and conventions were "ripped-off" from other shows.[34]

Ratings

The first episode, "Rollercoaster," garnered a total of 10.8 million viewers when aired as a preview on August 17, 2007.[35] When Phineas and Ferb officially debuted in February the next year, it proved cable's number one watched animated series premiere by "tweens". Throughout the first quarter that followed, it peaked as the top-rated animated series for ages 6-10 and 9-14, also becoming number three animated series for all of cable television for viewers age 6-10.[26] By the time the commissioning of the second season was announced in May 2008, the series had become a top-rated program in the 6-11 and 9-14 demographics.[36]

The Disney Channel's airing of "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted" was the show's second most watched telecast, peaking at 3.7 million viewers.[37] Episodes "Perry Lays an Egg/Gaming the System" on the Disney Channel achieved the most views by ages 6-11 and 9-14 of any channel in that night's time slot. This achievement propelled the series to the number one animated telecast that week for the target demographics.[38] On June 7, 2009, Disney announced that the show had become the number one primetime animated television show for the demographics 6-10 and 9-14.[17]

Marketing and merchandise

Disney has licensed a number of products from the show, including plush toys of characters Perry, Ferb, and Phineas.[39] Authors have novelized several episodes.[11][40] The show's writers are also supervising the production of a tie-in comic book.[11] Disney released several T-shirts for the show and launched a "Make your own T-shirt" program on its Disney website.[41]

Two season one DVDs, entitled The Fast and the Phineas and The Daze of Summer, have been released; the discs feature episodes never broadcast in America.[42][43] Some reviewers were displeased with the show's release over volumes instead of box sets.[42]

In 2009 Disney licensed a Nintendo DS game, simply titled "Phineas and Ferb." The creators did not take part in production and were not aware of the game's nature until release.[11] The game's story follows Phineas and Ferb as they try to build a rollercoaster to alleviate boredom over the summer. The player controls Phineas, Ferb, and occasionally Agent P. Phineas scavenges for spare parts for the roller coaster while Ferb fixes various objects around town, gaining access to new areas as a result. Ferb can also construct new parts of the rollercoaster and its vehicle-themed carts. Each activity features a short mini-game, such as carefully tracing over a line to weld or tapping the screen to hammer nails.[44][45][46] Povenmire and Marsh have announced that there is a Phineas and Ferb Wii game in development.[11]

Homages

The United Kingdom Disney Channel currently airs a series entitled Oscar and Michael's Phineas and Ferb Fan Club Show in homage to the animated series. The show features two boys who attempt to be like Phineas and Ferb by taking part in adventures to alleviate boredom.[47] The series aims at educating children and promoting activity and creativity.[48] It entered its second season on April 10, 2009.[47]
