Drusselstein is loosely based on nations like Germany and Austria, evidenced by buildings with Fachwerkhäuser architecture, the citizens speaking German in grammatical form or how the food, dresses and carnivals are similar to that of Fasching or even Oktoberfest. He claims to be a doctor but actually purchased his doctorate online.Ī typical episode features Doofenshmirtz hatching an evil scheme or invention that he often links to a " back story" from his youth in the fictional village of Gimmelshtump, Drusselstein. His goal throughout most of the show is to take over the "entire tri-state area". ĭoofenshmirtz in the show is a bumbling, dimwitted evil genius. Following his house being destroyed in the second season premiere, he begins to live in the Murphys' house, and subsequently becomes a major supporting character throughout the rest of the series. He later made an appearance in the Milo Murphy's Law season one episode "Fungus Among Us". Doofenshmirtz speaks with a caricature of a German accent and is from the fictional European country Drusselstein.ĭoofenshmirtz appears in several merchandise pieces, including a book series and a video game. By the end of the series, the character is redeemed, using his inventions for the good of the world and looking after his daughter Vanessa. He was originally depicted as an incompetent and forgetful evil scientist intent on conquering the "entire Tri-State Area" by creating obscure but nefarious inventions, despite not technically being a true villain Doofenshmirtz is shown to have a good side on some occasions. The character first appeared in the pilot episode of Phineas and Ferb. He was created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, and is voiced by Povenmire. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, also known as Professor Time, is a fictional character from the American animated television series Phineas and Ferb. (League Of Villainous Evildoers Maniacally United For Frightening Investments in Naughtiness)ĭr. Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe (2020) Phineas and Ferb / Milo Murphy's Law character In summary, great.Fictional character Dr. Despite reservations with Candace, the character writing is near spot on. The Perry (adorable and amusing) and Doofenschmirtz (who has great lines) subplot in "Interview with a Platypus" is a hoot. The formula is recognisable but neither feel too repetitive, "Tip of the Day" still managing to have variety despite not being as fresh. The stories are engaging and have a lively energy, with the execution being more imaginative in "Interview with a Platypus" which had the more creative concept in the first place. They are equally wonderful on this front, very intelligent, never juvenile or confused and often very funny to hilarious. Writing is extremely good in both episodes, especially in the particularly clever dialogue in "Interview with a Platypus". The music is dynamic with the action and the theme song is insanely catchy with very clever and quotable lyrics that anybody still in school fishing for how to spend their vacation will relate to. The animation is full of vibrant colour, quirky character designs and meticulous attention to detail in the backgrounds. However, everything else in "Tip of the Day" works and everything is brilliantly executed in "Interview with a Platypus".

Candace for my tastes was a little on the irritating side at times. Am going to get the one not so good thing about "Tip of the Day" out of the way first. "Tip of the Day" is still great, though one aspect doesn't completely come off, but "Interview with a Platypus" is brilliant. In this case, there is a preference for "Interview with a Platypus", which had a more creative and different premise and more imaginative execution. There are many times where there is a preference for which is a better episode, and that is the case here. Both "Interview with a Platypus" and "Tip of the Day" are great. Admittedly the later episodes are not quite on the same level as the more creative earlier seasons, but 'Phineas and Ferb' at its weakest still managed generally to be better than a lot of animated shows recently at their best. Still do get a lot of pleasure out of watching re-runs of what was, when airing, one of the few shows on the Disney Channel regularly worth watching.

'Phineas and Ferb' was so good in helping me through many tough periods during its run.
