What is that story for our characters? And can we still make a fun Phineas and Ferb movie where they stay positive, but they really have to get in there and do something. The show came out in the late s, so early seasons have the characters using flip phones. But in the movie, they all have smartphones and use social media. What was it like updating the show to incorporate modern technology? DP: That to me is the biggest pinpointable thing about when something was made.
It was fun to be able to use. Phineas looks like this [makes a shocked face] and Ferb just takes his phone out and goes like [pretends to take a picture on a pretend phone] and then starts going like this [makes the motion of zooming in] on the screen. If I had had him doing something like that to a little rectangle [years ago], nobody would have known what that was. But everybody knows what that motion is now. How much involvement did you have in the creation of that? DP: They pitched us everything they were doing in it.
We had to go record voices and stuff for it. We thought it was so cool that we were going to be part of a theme park.
They flew us out when they first put Doofenshmirtz in the glockenspiel in the big clock, where he comes out like this [makes a face as close to this image as possible]. It was just so great to do that. They flew us out and then gave us VIP tour guides to take us around the parks, which was an amazing experience, because we got to the front of all the lines.
JM: We were filming press stuff all morning, and in the interim, my family had gone on every great ride. Sometimes this works backward, and Phineas and Ferb's invention destroys Doofenshmirtz's invention. Occasionally, there are sub-plots relating to Candace during the stories. They generally involve either Candace chatting, hanging out with her friend Stacy Kelly Hu , or attempting to get the attention of her crush, Jeremy Mitchel Musso.
These subplots commonly weave in with Candace's many attempts to bust Phineas and Ferb. The show has received generally very positive reviews.

Watch the video. According to Povenmire, their animation director, Rob Hughes , agreed: "in all the other shows every character is either stupid or a jerk, but there are no stupid characters or jerks in this one". Unlike non-animated series, they didn't show them a script, they pitched a storyboard. A storyboard is a scene-by-scene visual breakdown of how the episode would look.
When it came time to present it to the executives overseas, Povenmire edited the storyboards together into a film, adding music, sound effects and providing the voices for all the characters. The original pitch eventually became the episode " Rollercoaster ". The plots grew from Povenmire's childhood in Mobile, Alabama. His mother was always encouraging them to do creative things rather than watch television.
One of his activities was making home movies. Povenmire says, "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". The brothers find themselves dissatisfied just spending their summer vacation outside of school, so they pull off unbelievable and often outlandish stunts i. Their sister, Candace, is aware of their unusual activities and tries to play spoil-sport by telling their mom, so that the adventures of Phineas and Ferb could be put to an end.
Candace's actions emerge mostly out of jealousy because she would not be able to get away with the same acts, since she gets "busted" for things she wasn't even intending to do, like throwing a party " Candace Gets Busted ". Normally, Perry's first appearance in a story is after someone usually Phineas notices his absence, and asks "Hey, where's Perry?
After the question is asked, the scene usually changes right to Perry entering secret chutes or entrances that bring him to some underground headquarters where he receives instructions, via a monitor, from his boss Major Monogram Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. However, in some cases, Perry is simply shown in the base receiving a briefing i. Doofenshmirtz Dan Povenmire , and his nefarious plans to wreak havoc on the Tri-State Area though this is not always the case.
A majority of the Perry subplot involves him battling Dr. Doofenshmirtz in knowingly hackneyed fashion such as Doofenshmirtz's long monologues about his plans to Perry. This subplot also includes, sometimes, the sarcasms from Vanessa Olivia Olson , Doofenshmirtz's daughter, and Norm John Viener , Doofenshmirtz's robot.
Inevitably, these battles are brought very near where Phineas and Ferb are doing whatever plan they had for the day, and generally aid in the removal of all evidence related to what they were doing before Candace can show it to her mother.
Sometimes this works backwards, and Phineas and Ferb's invention destroys Doofenshmirtz's plan. Occasionally, there are subplots relating to Candace during the stories.
They generally involve either Candace chatting or hanging out with her friend Stacy Kelly Hu , or attempting to get the attention of her crush, Jeremy Mitchel Musso. These subplots commonly weave in with Candace's many attempts to bust Phineas and Ferb.
The series has gained generally very positive reviews.
