Phineas Flynn is one of the two main protagonists from the animated television series Phineas and Ferb. Voiced by Vincent Martella and created and designed past Dan Povenmire, Phineas start appeared forth with the rest of the series' main characters in the pilot episode "Rollercoaster". Phineas, along with his stepbrother Ferb Fletcher, stars in each A-Plot of every episode.
The series concerns Phineas'due south attempts to avoid boredom by finding something new to do for each 24-hour interval of his summer vacation. His sister is Candace Flynn,[2] who tries to reveal their outrageous creations to their female parent, but to no avail. He does this with his less-talkative stepbrother Ferb,[3] and oftentimes with many other neighborhood children. The activities they devise unremarkably involve outlandish contraptions, including roller coasters,[4] haunted houses,[v] roller rinks,[6] and a backyard beach[4] etc. which Phineas and Ferb design and build cooperatively.
Phineas comes from a composite family. The creators chose this arrangement because they considered it underused in children'due south programming also equally from creator Jeff "Swampy" Marsh'due south past experiences in one.[7] As a character, Phineas has received positive critical response, with one reviewer describing him and his stepbrother every bit a "comical pairing."[8] Phineas appears in Phineas and Ferb merchandise, including plush toys,[9] t-shirts,[x] and a video game.[11]
Role in Phineas and Ferb [edit]
Phineas comes from a blended family, a determination creator Marsh made to reverberate his ain experiences growing up.[seven] His step-brother, Ferb, is his best friend. Phineas's birth male parent is never present or discussed in the series, something Marsh and Povenmire take stated that they fully intend to proceed that way. It is established that his female parent, Linda Flynn-Fletcher married Ferb'southward father, Lawrence Fletcher, afterward dating him for a while in the 1990s. They fell in love at a concert of the fictitious band "Love Händel" after they were put on the kiss cam.[12]
Phineas is portrayed equally an intelligent, artistic, innovative, and good-natured child.[2] As a means to defeat boredom, he and Ferb devise outrageous activities throughout their summertime vacation,[ii] often participating in activities such as toy design (in "Toy to the Earth");[13] piracy (in "The Ballad of Badbeard");[14] engineering (in "It's Almost Fourth dimension!");[fifteen] restaurant management (in "Chez Platypus");[16], all usually inaccessible to children. Phineas lives in the fictional boondocks of Danville (part of the Tri-Land Area), in a large, suburban neighborhood;[17] he comes up with nearly of his ideas while sitting with Ferb in his backyard.[18]
Concept and cosmos [edit]
Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh had conceived the idea of the Phineas and Ferb series while working as layout artists on The Simpsons. After planning the basics of the show, the 2 began laying out characters. Povenmire, eating dinner with his family unit at a Wild Thyme restaurant in South Pasadena, California, drew a quick sketch of a "triangle child."[1] Povenmire named the triangle doodle "Phineas," saying he "look[ed] like [one]",[19] and with reference to the grapheme Phileas Fogg (often misreferenced as "Phineas Fogg") from Around the World in 80 Days (1873).[twenty] Povenmire tore the newspaper out and called Marsh that nighttime, telling him "Hey, I recall we have our bear witness."[21]
After designing the show, the 2 had significant difficulties getting the series green lit. It was not picked up for fifteen years.[22] In their final pitch to the Walt Disney Company, the creators designed a recorded storyboard, featuring a very crude outline of characters. The epitome Phineas was ruder to others than the version in the eventual prove,[xviii] where the creators decided to make him more skillful-natured.[23] Citing comedy's "big duos" including Wallace and Gromit and Jay and Silent Bob, the creators chose to give Phineas almost of the dialogue while Ferb remains almost silent.[vii]
Design [edit]
All characters in Phineas and Ferb were fatigued in a design borrowed from Tex Avery's style, with geometric shapes existence included in their construction; Phineas in particular is that of a triangle.[ane] The triangle face has been stated in the series as being just his nose that covers the unabridged head.[24] The goal while drawing characters was to brand them simple enough to be drawn past child viewers and be recognized by silhouette.[20] Phineas's eyes lie on the top of his head[25] and are of oval shape.[26] For his pilus, three "tufts" are put in the back and front end, while three freckles lie underneath. For the ear, a small 3 is used to represent the ear lobe.[25] [26] Povenmire uses thin, spindly arms for every grapheme equally a elementary reason to add fun.[25]
Voice [edit]
Young actor Vincent Martella, previously known for The CW series Everybody Hates Chris,[27] was cast for the role of Phineas.[28] Martella originally auditioned for the role five months before his initial pickup, merely was left without feedback for the time. When Dan Povenmire was given a tape of Martella in Everybody Hates Chris, he called him to do Phineas for the pilot.[27] He designed a dissimilar vocalisation than his own which he describes every bit "wacky [and] crazy." The creators were agape of him losing it when his voice changed, though he was withal able to retain it for the most role even afterward, though the tone is now slightly different from the original sound.[29]
While in recording sessions, Martella has a big corporeality of enthusiasm and describes information technology as humorous to lookout man himself doing a take.[29] In interviews Martella has said that he enjoys working on the series and voicing Phineas, and appreciates the opportunity to work alongside invitee stars, specially Malcolm McDowell.[28]
Martella one time wrote every bit an article for Popstar! Magazine his thoughts on the part and of the testify itself:
The greatest matter about beingness on Phineas so far is that I can get my parents to express joy! We all sabbatum downwards to come across the beach episode on New Years Eve! In one case I saw all the adults laughing along with me and my ten-year-old blood brother, that was the greatest thing in the globe to me!
—Martella[30]
Hallmarks [edit]
Phineas and Ferb makes liberal use of running gags,[31] and Phineas has several recurrent lines that are featured in most episodes. When he comes up with an idea of what adventure he and his brother are going to have that mean solar day, he says "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" During the form of an take chances, Phineas is generally asked by a disbelieving developed "Aren't y'all a footling bit young to be..." doing whatever he's doing in that episode.[2] For example, while constructing a shrine to his sister on the face of Mountain Rushmore, a park ranger asks him "Aren't yous boys a little young to exist restoring a national monument?"[32] Phineas generally answers "Yes, yes I am," though on a few occasions has responded "No"[33] or "Well, I don't call up so."[thirteen]
In every episode, Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus, Perry, disappears to carry out his job as a cloak-and-dagger agent. The kids most always find this, asking "Hey, where's Perry?" Then, when Perry comes home, they say, "Oh, there you are, Perry!" Discussing Perry, creator Povenmire cited the example of his own pet cat, Sprocket, which he claimed led a "secret life" with his neighbors in order to become extra food.[22]
Characterization [edit]
Personality and traits [edit]
His [Phineas'] confidence makes people recall, "He must be a prodigy." People rarely inquire him if he's besides young. He'd never prevarication to an adult or attempt to go away with annihilation. He's simply motivated by fun. If he thought mom would actually dislike the things they're doing, he would probably stop, but since he's never gotten in trouble for it, he doesn't remember of it as getting into trouble.
Phineas is portrayed every bit existence a highly intelligent, imaginative, optimistic, and audacious male child.[2] The Disney Channel promos for Phineas and Ferb describe him equally someone who "thinks large", refusing to let any day be ordinary.[34] Povenmire also characterizes him every bit assertive, someone so secure in his abilities that others assume he is a prodigy. Povenmire and Marsh wanted the series to reflect their ain childhood memories of going out during the summer and have fun, digging trenches and building tunnels, forts, and tree houses.[2]
The creators wanted Phineas, like Ferb, to be a graphic symbol who would never "[do] anything with whatever animosity," or to agitate his sister or outsmart his mother purposely. Instead, the graphic symbol was supposed to be motivated only past enjoyment and free from mean spiritedness.[ii] [23] He is very friendly, caring, well-mannered, and several of his plots involve helping someone out. He tries to please his sis Candace, carving her face into Mount Rushmore for her birthday in one episode[32] and helping her recollect a tape detailing his summer adventures fifty-fifty though she intended on using the footage as testify to "bust" him and Ferb.[35] Another episode has him throwing an caricature for his mother's birthday,[36] and withal another has him (along with Ferb and Candace) recreating their parent'due south most romantic moment for their hymeneals anniversary.[37] He has as well been shown helping his grandparents, reenacting his granddad Reginald'due south daredevil stunt from his youth[38] and setting up a roller derby for a rematch race with his grandmother Betty Jo'southward former rival.[6] In the episodes "One Skillful Scare Ought to Do It!" and "Hail Doofania!", Phineas goes to swell lengths to help his friend Isabella.[five] [39] Other episodes, like "Unfair Science Fair," "Oil on Candace," "The Bang-up Lawmaking," and "Voyage To The Lesser of Buford," further explore Phineas'south generosity toward all of his friends.[40] [41] He even has plans at the kickoff of "The Bully Lawmaking" for a jellybean currency organisation for emerging nations.
Occasionally, Phineas'due south ideas, plots, and schemes have upset others, intentionally or otherwise. Most notably Candace is constantly frustrated in her efforts to "bosom" her brothers throughout the series,[23] and in rare cases, Phineas has unwittingly caused misfortune to others. For example, in the episode "Get That Bigfoot Outta My Confront," Phineas gives all the kids at campsite a fright when he tricks them into thinking Bigfoot is attacking, though this is more often than not getting into the spirit of spooky story telling.[42]
Withal, Povenmire and Marsh intended for Phineas and Ferb to be motivated only by fun.[2] In one episode, "Thaddeus and Thor", Phineas says that fun is his only goal in his daily schemes – though Ferb adds that they besides do it "for the ladies."[43] Phineas besides says that he wants his adventures to requite him something interesting to say when he gets back to school,[4] a setting the creators have confirmed they will never put him in.[44]
Phineas is also very modest. He tends to put Ferb'south proper noun on inventions. This may be because Ferb does most of the building. Yet, he never seems angry or resentful of giving his brother the credit.
Phineas appears to be addicted to inventing. In "Peachy Bromance Break Up" he goes into withdrawal when the other kids insist on climbing a mountain without using any crazy gadgets.
In a few episodes, Phineas shows an angrier side of himself, first seen in the Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension flick, where Phineas gets angry at Perry after finding out his surreptitious identity because Perry "never trusted him" by telling him the truth, but after realizes that Perry kept his identity hidden because if Phineas and his family unit plant out, Perry would be forced to relocate to another family unit. Another episode, Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel, once again demonstrates Phineas' angry side, when he got aroused at Candace when she accidentally caused Baljeet to turn into a Hulk-blazon version of himself, but they later on made amends at the terminate of the episode. Later, on "Phineas and Ferb Save Summer", when Candace tries to power-up the machine, Phineas starts raising his voice at her in order for her to stop, to which Buford breaks the fourth wall by saying: "Must be a special episode, he's yelling at his sis over again!".
Reception [edit]
Phineas has received mostly positive reviews. Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media describes Phineas equally "boisterous," and he and Ferb as "partner[s] in crime."[8] Susan Stewart, reviewing the show in the New York Times, notes that Phineas and Ferb "work on a heroic scale and are apparently non limited by the laws of nature."[45] Jean Yoo, an official press member for Disney Channel, describes him as "a precocious bundle of energy whose tolerance for sitting nevertheless is only a piffling thinner than his patience for the social echelon in which he finds himself." She besides notes that he is "endearing and smart."[46]
Variety calls Phineas's adventures "spectacular."[47] Animation Insider reporter Aaron Bynum described him as a "wiz kid idea car."[48] The Seattle Times wrote that both Phineas and Ferb were "young heroes."[49] The song "Ain't Got Rhythm," which Vincent Martella performed in the voice of Phineas alongside Steve Zahn and Thomas Sangster in the episode "Dude, We're Getting the Ring Dorsum Together," was nominated for an Emmy Honor in 2008 for "Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics."[l]

[11] Dan Povenmire has said that he saw nothing of the game until its release, on which he was given a copy for free.[7] Paste claimed that Phineas, alongside Ferb are 33rd all-time cartoon characters of all time.[55]
