Production
[edit]Writing style
[edit]The show uses four major writers to devise story ideas according to "strict guidelines", such as that the boys' schemes never appear to be "magical". Stories are reviewed at weekly sessions on Monday, then simultaneously scripted and storyboarded. 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" walk-through of the storyboard in front of the whole crew, whose reactions to the jokes are assessed before rewrites are made.[1] The writers also include running gags in every episode, which are generally lines spoken by characters.[2] Almost every episode is set into two eleven-minute segments.[3]
Cast
[edit]Phineas and Ferb are voiced by Vincent Martella and Thomas Sangster, respectively.[4] Sangster was one of many British actors cast; Marsh lived in the United Kingdom for seven years, and developed a fondness for its people.[5] The rest of the cast includes Ashley Tisdale as their sister Candace, Dee Bradley Baker as the secret agent platypus Perry, Caroline Rhea as the mother Linda Flynn-Fletcher, Richard O'Brien as the father Lawrence Fletcher,[4] Kelly Hu as Candace's best friend Stacy, and Alyson Stoner as Phineas and Ferb's next-door neighbor and best friend Isabella.[5] Series creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh provide the voices of Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram, respectively.
