When Dan Povenmire was given a tape of Martella in Everybody Hates Chris, he called him to do Phineas for the pilot. Martella originally auditioned for the role five months before his initial pickup, but was left without feedback for the time.
#PHINEAS AND FERB MEMORY PICTURES SERIES#
Young actor Vincent Martella, previously known for The CW series Everybody Hates Chris, was cast for the role of Phineas. Povenmire uses thin, spindly arms for every character as a simple reason to add fun. For the ear, a small 3 is used to represent the ear lobe. For his hair, three "tufts" are put in the back and front, while three freckles lie underneath. Phineas's eyes lie on the top of his head and are of oval shape. The goal while drawing characters was to make them simple enough to be drawn by child viewers and be recognized by silhouette. The triangle face has been stated in the series as being just his nose that covers the entire head. Design Īll characters in Phineas and Ferb were drawn in a design borrowed from Tex Avery's style, with geometric shapes being included in their structure Phineas in particular is that of a triangle.
Citing comedy's "big duos" including Wallace and Gromit and Jay and Silent Bob, the creators chose to give Phineas most of the dialogue while Ferb remains almost silent. The prototype Phineas was ruder to others than the version in the eventual show, where the creators decided to make him more good-natured. In their final pitch to the Walt Disney Company, the creators designed a recorded storyboard, featuring a very rough outline of characters. Povenmire tore the paper out and called Marsh that night, telling him "Hey, I think we have our show." Īfter designing the show, the two had significant difficulties getting the series green lit. Povenmire, eating dinner with his family at a Wild Thyme restaurant in South Pasadena, California, drew a quick sketch of a "triangle kid." Povenmire named the triangle doodle "Phineas," saying he "look like ", and with reference to the character Phileas Fogg (often misreferenced as "Phineas Fogg") from Around the World in 80 Days (1873). After planning the basics of the show, the two began laying out characters. ĭan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh had conceived the idea of the Phineas and Ferb series while working as layout artists on The Simpsons. Concept and creation ĭan Povenmire originally drew Phineas on a piece of butcher paper in South Pasadena, California. Phineas lives in the fictional town of Danville (part of the Tri-State Area), in a large, suburban neighborhood he comes up with most of his ideas while sitting with Ferb in his backyard. As a means to defeat boredom, he and Ferb devise outrageous activities throughout their summer vacation, often participating in activities such as toy design (in "Toy to the World") piracy (in "The Ballad of Badbeard") engineering (in "It's About Time!") restaurant management (in "Chez Platypus") all usually inaccessible to children. Phineas is portrayed as an intelligent, creative, innovative, and good-natured child. They fell in love at a concert of the fictitious band "Love Händel" after they were put on the kiss cam. It is established that his mother, Linda Flynn-Fletcher married Ferb's father, Lawrence Fletcher, after dating him for a while in the 1990s. Phineas's birth father is never present or discussed in the series, something Marsh and Povenmire have stated that they fully intend to keep that way. His step-brother, Ferb, is his best friend. Phineas comes from a blended family, a decision creator Marsh made to reflect his own experiences growing up. As a character, Phineas has received positive critical response, with one reviewer describing him and his stepbrother as a "comical pairing." Phineas appears in Phineas and Ferb merchandise, including plush toys, t-shirts, and a video game. The creators chose this arrangement because they considered it underused in children's programming as well as from creator Jeff "Swampy" Marsh's past experiences in one. Phineas's sister is Candace Flynn, who tries to reveal their outrageous creations to their mother, but to no avail. which Phineas and Ferb design and build cooperatively. The activities they devise usually involve outlandish contraptions, including roller coasters, haunted houses, roller rinks, and a backyard beach etc. He does this with his less-talkative stepbrother Ferb, and often with many other neighborhood children. The series concerns Phineas's attempts to avoid boredom by finding something new to do for each day of his summer vacation.
