The Beloved Animated Series
Phineas and Ferb, the hit animated series that captured the hearts of millions of viewers, first aired in 2007. Created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, the show followed the adventures of two stepbrothers, Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, as they embarked on wild and imaginative projects during their summer vacation.
The show gained a massive following, thanks in no small part to its catchy musical numbers, witty humor, and lovable characters. Fans fell in love with the show’s dynamic duo, as well as their friends and family, including Candace Flynn, Perry the Platypus, and Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz.
The Voices Behind the Characters
One of the many reasons why Phineas and Ferb was such a success was its talented voice cast. The show featured a roster of seasoned voice actors, many of whom had worked on other popular animated shows and movies.
Vincent Martella voiced the titular character Phineas Flynn, while Thomas Sangster brought Ferb Fletcher to life. Ashley Tisdale played the role of the boys’ older sister, Candace Flynn, and Dee Bradley Baker provided the voice of Perry the Platypus.
Other notable cast members included Dan Povenmire, who not only co-created the show but also voiced the villainous Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, who voiced several minor characters and served as the show’s executive producer.
Where Are They Now?
As we catch up with the cast of Phineas and Ferb in 2023, it’s clear that they’ve all gone on to achieve great things in their careers.

The Legacy of Phineas and Ferb
Even though Phineas and Ferb ended its run in 2015, its legacy lives on. The show continues to be beloved by fans of all ages, and its catchy songs and witty humor are still as entertaining as ever.
The show’s impact on pop culture cannot be overstated, and it paved the way for other beloved animated series like Gravity Falls and Steven Universe. Its catchy theme song, “Today is Gonna Be a Great Day,” remains an earworm that fans can’t get out of their heads.
