Phineas and Ferb review

Posted : 7 years, 1 month ago on 18 March 2017 05:06

[English Version]

Phineas and Ferb is an American cartoon comedy broadcasted since 2007 to 2015. It follows Phineas Flynn and his British stepbrother Ferb Fletcher on summer vacation, and in order to avoid get bored, everyday the get involve in a new project to have fun (example Building a Rollercoaster, make a 2nd winter, make a new toy, make a virtual reality video game, etc), this annoys his older sister Candace, who in every episode would tried to reveal their shenanigans their parents and grounded. And there is also a b-plot featuring his pet Perry the Platypus working as a spy (knows as "Agent P") to defeat the latest scheme of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a mad scientist who wants to rule over everything

If I can sum-up this show in 1 word would be this: Boring.

It's just an episodic series that follows the same plot once and over and over and over and and over and over and over and and over and over and over and over until the point that becomes boring very quickly. And it doesn't help that their nerver, and I mean NEVER, get out of the status quo.

The characters are basic bland: Phineas and Ferb are the 2 main sterytopyes of a genius boy (the first one being an optimistic/proactive genious, and the other one being a silent genious who only talks to tell a simple joke by the end of each episode), Candace is the overprotectivesister who only wants to take care of their brothers, their parents which are the typical stereotype of clueless parents, and their friends who are bland and forgettable (well, maybe the only remarcable is Isabella, who only serves as a lazy love interest for Phineas, romance which is never develop by the way).

Ok, Is not the worst cartoon I have ever watch or the worst animated proyect that disney had made, since there are some good things about it: The animation is consistent and fluent most of the time, the music is creative (the songs are very catchy and they don't filled forced), and they are SOME good jokes that work (most of them related to Perry and Dr. Doofenshmirtz). And I Will admit, the final episode of the show is actually very decent and it show a good message about growing up.

But, all things consider, can't recommend it, since it's a cartoon that never gets out of the status quo FOR 222 EPISODES!!!! Geez, if you want to see a good "genious kid" cartoon, go watch Jimmy Neutron or Dexter's Laboratory, which are far more creative with his characters and situations. This is one of the most boring cartoons and one of the most overated I ever watch.

Final Score: 4/10

[Spanish Version]

Phineas y Ferb es una caricatura estadounidense de comedia hecha por Disney transmitida desde 2007 hasta 2015. Sigue a Phineas Flynn y su hermanastro británico Ferb Fletcher en las vacaciones de verano, y para evitar aburrirse, todos los días se involucran en un nuevo proyecto para divertirse (Ejemplo: Construir unna montaña rusa, hacer un segundo invierno, inventar un nuevo juguete, hacer un videojuego de realidad virtual, etc), esto molesta a su hermana mayor Candace, que en cada episodio trató de revelar sus proyecto a sus padres y castigarles. Y también hay una sub-trama con su mascota Perry el Ornitorrinco trabajando como un espía (conocido como"Agente P") para derrotar los planes del Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, un científico loco que quiere gobernar a todos.

Si puediera resumir este show en 1 palabra sería esta: Aburrido.

Es sólo una serie episódica que sigue la misma trama una y otra y otra y otra y otra y otra y otra y otra y otra y otra y otra vez hasta el punto que se vuelve aburrido muy rápidamente. Y no ayuda que nunca, y quiero decir NUNCA, salga del statu quo.

Los personajes son sencillos: Phineas y Ferb son los 2 principales estereotipos de un niño genio (el primero es un genio optimista/proactivo y el otro es un genio silencioso que sólo habla para contar una broma simple al final de cada capitulo), Candace es la superprotectora que sólo quiere cuidar de sus hermanos, sus padres que son el típico estereotipo de los padres desorientados, y sus amigos que son sosos y olvidables (bueno, quizás la única remarcable es Isabella, que sólo sirve como un interés amoroso para Phineas, dando romance que nunca se desarrolla por cierto).

Ok, no es la peor caricatura que he visto o el peor proyecto animado que Disney haya hecho, ya que hay algunas cosas buenas: La animación es consistente y fluida la mayor parte del tiempo, la música es creativa (las canciones son muy pegadizas y no llegan a ser forzadas), y hay ALGUNOS buenos chistes que funcionan (la mayoría de ellos relacionados con Perry y el Dr. Doofenshmirtz). Y voy a admitir, el episodio final de la serie es en realidad muy decente y mostrar un buen mensaje sobre el crecimiento.


Pero, considerando todo lo que dicho, no puedo recomendarlo, ya que es una caricatura que nunca sale del status quo POR 222 EPISODIOS !!!! Dios, si quieres ver una buena historia de "niño genio", vayan a ver Jimmy Neutron o El Laboratirio de Dexter, que son mucho más creativos con sus personajes y situaciones.

Esta es uno de las caricaturas más aburridas y uno de los más sobrevaloradas que haya tenido que ver

Nota final: 4/10

Since I hear good things about 'Phineas and Ferb', eventually I decided to check it out, I've only seen the first episode and perhaps watching a few more would reduce the rating slightly, Ferb and Perry are quite hilarious and Isabella is like a parody of Wendy (from 'South Park')

The episode was quite clever and funny and I'm sure there will be more episodes that I enjoy
