D in check, but he also manages to look out for his owners (without them finding out about his secret job). He’s James Bond crossed with a novelty pet, and he’s a suave dynamo of action. Tisdale is Phineas and Ferb‘s surprise MVP. She knocks it out of the park, every time. Her comic timing is perfection, and she’s not afraid to let it all hang out with her voice work. She’s made what could have been a one-note character laugh-out-loud funny and even sympathetic. But watch Candace in action for thirty seconds and you’ll see how well she melts into the character. Yeah, I know, she’s that tightly-wound blonde girl from High School Musical. The voice acting is fabulous all around (recent guest casts have included everyone from Tina Fey to Kevin Smith), but extra credit must go to Ashley Tisdale.
Phineas and ferb songs youtube series#
All of the songs are written during flash creative sessions by series creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, who then send them off to series composer Danny Jacob for recording. Not only are they appropriate to the episode, they’re downright catchy, appealing just as much to adults as to kids (much like the show itself).

And the songs come from pretty much every musical genre known to mankind. 3) It Rocks (Literally)Įvery eleven-minute episode of the show includes an original song, written and performed just for that episode. My wife and I have been watching since before we had kids - and now both of our kids are hooked too. Phineas & Ferb makes me think of old school cartoons like Loony Tunes, when animators weren’t afraid to be politically incorrect or to include things like a goofy hunter looking for a rabbit to kill (and even singing a song about it). When was the last time you heard of a cartoon that was made for kids but was smart enough to entertain adults? There are precious few examples to point to, since most of today’s kids entertainment is homogenized until it’s been drained of all creativity. All of this stuff gets juggled and jammed into an episode, and it somehow works.

Their wacky fights always have the side effect of making Phineas and Ferb’s projects vanish. Doofenshmirtz, a crazy inventor who wants to take over the city. Which brings us to the third storyline: the family pet, Perry the Platypus, is a secret agent engaged in a daily battle against the evil Dr. But they never get caught, because their project always disappears right before Candace can bust them. The 2nd storyline follows Candace, the boys’ older sister, who’s obsessed with trying to get her brothers in trouble by showing her mom what they’re up to. Most of these projects are joyously over-the-top, such as the massive Hawaiian beach they once created in their back yard, or the enormous paper mache airplane they built just to top the record set by the Spruce Goose. The two title characters are middle-American step brothers who are living Summer vacation to the fullest by building outlandish contraptions and projects every day. Phineas and Ferb is this insane mishmash of three separate storylines that intersect and impact each another in unexpectedly funny ways. I am bonkers in love with Phineas and Ferb, and I don’t care who knows it.
