Hi Martin Olson, I'm going to need to get this comment framed! I can't begin to describe how much that means to me. In any analysis or show that I write on, I aspire to make something even close to as wonderful as what you've created. Thank you.
Phineas does start off the first episode by mentioning they’ll be asked that question when they get back to school! I’d love to see them finally give their loooong answer haha
This show is definitely my favorite non- plot cartoon beacuse of the sole reason because they gave character arcs to characters in a non plot show and did it so subtly
I getting tired of plot cartoons, it was fun at first when most shows where episodic but now it feels like every new cartoon wants to be the next Gravity Falls.
Let’s all be honest. Doof is the most wholesome tv villain of all time. If he didn’t get closure in the final episode the world would have collapsed into chaos
A small thing I find interesting about this special is how the disappearance of Phineas and Ferb affects Buford, Baljeet, and Isabella. They aren’t up early, they feel more dull in terms of dialogue and mannerisms, and they lack that spark; the idea that you should make the most of every day. Phineas and Ferb do facilitate the arcs of others, and in a very clear way, and that’s what makes them a beacon; it’s what makes them special.
@Freddie Reid Yeah, lol, she got instantly love-stricken the moment she saw Phineas, even before she remembered anything about him, and her change right there from a moment before was like night and day. it was really cool but also really cute.
@@MiloMurphysLaw Wow...now that you think about it, there Milo Murphy's Law kinda retroactively makes this finale even better if you look at it that way!
This show was so formulaic, that they even produced an episode taking place in prehistoric times. All the characters just grunted the entire episode, yet long-time viewers understood exactly what was being communicated. Viewers like me laughed the entire episode because of how the series was making fun of themselves and the predictable plotline.
i would put it in 2 main catagories and 1 sub catagorie. the first one is the boys and the gang 2nd on is platypus and doof and norm and sometimes vanessa and sometimes sad backstories which sound like serious abuse and the sub one is candace and mom(i call this a sub one because it only has at most 1-2 min on each episode while the others have 4-5)
I really love how they didn't make Doofenschmirtz a one sided villain and actually gave him a lively character that makes you want to give him a hug for everytime his inators get destroyed
The way I see it, Doofenshmirtz’s parents were horrible to him, so when you think about how they treated him, it kind of makes sense that he loves Vanessa the way he does, and would want her respect, and possibly be a little annoyingly affectionate of her. Also, Perry letting Doof think he saved the day is kind of reminiscent of how their nemesis relationship works. He’s supposed to stop his evil plans, but that’s it.
I've always thought that candace was the main character. Her line when she sees her brothers is "Phineas and Ferb!!" which is the name of the show. That was my logic when i was a kid lol.
"Until they make this genuine changes in their life, tommorow will alaways be this morning again." this hit me hard and I need to instill this in my mind coz I badly need to change something in me for my own goodness. Hope I won't end up like Candace and Doof. Thank you very much for this
Thank you for watching it. We're all like Candace and Doof in a way- that's why we end up relating to them so much. We all have our cycles we put ourselves through, and only we can truly break them.
We all want to change the present for a better future, but at the cost of making it a memory of the past. One day I'd like to go back to where it all started, if it's possible to remember the feeling of reliving the past. Change is inevitable & adapting is a must, yet I'd like to know more about this feeling of longing to revisit the past
Yes! The reference to her being his daughter was just thrown in at the end of her first episode as a joke. I'm so glad. One of the best parts of the show.
Although I noticed that as it went on it seemed to go from being about Phineas and Ferb with Doof and Perry as a subplot to being almost equally about the both of them. But by the time it ended it was more the Doof and Perry show with Phineas and Ferb as the subplot.
If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and personal saviour please say this prayer Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN
i feel like this show is about candace struggling to find her role as an older sister while doofenshmirtz is struggling to find his role as a father. the parallelism between the two characters is actually genius. i’m so happy to have grown up to this amazing show.
I always felt confused after watching the last episode having a “that’s it??” thought. But now I finally understand it and see the brilliance of it all
Are you talking about the episode, where Phineas, Ferb and Isabella are teens and go to college together? Ferb is in a relationship with Vanessa and Phineas with Isabella? Because that is the best ending ever.
I used to hate Candace but as I got older I started to realize how much I relate to her. This actually made me learn a little bit about myself, and offered some closure so thank you.
Honestly I still hate Candace, there were a couple times in the show where she actually had to consider whether she should bust her brothers or save their lives. The fact that she actually had to have an internal discussion with herself to decide what to do shows that she isn't a good person.
@@jaxonneven6367 I'd argue that isn't so much a "Candace isn't a good person" thing. Think about it. Did she have to pause? Yes. But the fact that she paused in the first place means that she didn't proceed thoughtlessly.
It was also her fault to begin with. She was the one who caused ended of world. She wasn't paying attention to Dr. Doorf and press the button of the machine. There should be a episode where some of her class mates talks about summer of how they spend it. While Candace realize she wasted her whole summer busting Phineas and Ferb. Then people are gonna call her a loser party pooper for not knowing how to have fun and spend time with her friends and boyfriend.
one thing i truly adore about this show is the depiction of doof breaking the cycle of abuse. as much as the drusselstein flashbacks are framed humorously, they really do depict an abusive family neglecting a child over and over. of course we see doof dwelling on this trauma and seeking vengeance, because he's never really had enough of a support system to consider an alternative. but the most important part is that HE LOVES VANESSA. he wants her to have the childhood he never had, which results in a smothering approach that she resents, but it always comes from a place of love and respect. heinz is my favorite dad character ever, full stop - his arc is incredible.
Honestly THIS should've been the end. This should've just been it. No renewals, no reboots. Just everyone sweeping up their last spotlight together as they come together and realize that, it doesn't matter who we were back then or how we grew as characters and as people. All that matters is that we're all here now just taking it all in and enjoying our last day of summer. Then as the camera pans out and fades to black we the audience get to hear Phineas say one last time "Ferb I know what we're gonna do today."
Phineas and Ferb: there’s one hundred and four days of summer vacation Middle schoolers in 2020: there’s more than one hundred and four days of summer vacation
"It was always Doofensmirt's inators that ruined Candace's plans to bust the boys. It's only fair that she gets to shut the last one down." This blew my mind
I also want to add to the amazing observation made by you that perry perhaps plays the most important role in changing doofenshmirtz life and helping him to leave his horrible past behind and look towards a better future with his family all the inventions he makes are like therapy session for him to vent out his rage and sorrow due to his past , I always thought that doof really doesn't pose a threat to anyone he was defeated by a plant for godsake and perry as we see in the show can break through his traps at any time he wishes but does not do it unless and until doof is finished with his story and his reasons in a way by only listening to him perry helps him take out all his grief also doof always puts a self destruct button in his innators even though he knows that it will cause his defeat everytime it seems he does not actually want to hurt anyone all he wants is some appreciation and attention that he desperately needed when he was a kid he only wants people to notice him for once perry being there to stop him everytime gives him this sense of appreciation and attention that he is a legitimate threat if you remember in the episode where he decided to trash talk to whales for stealing his girlfriend perry leaves him to his own and he desperately chases him begging him to stop him it may be a cartoon show for kids but it draws a lot of attention to real world problems that people face evryday and sometimes having someone listen could work great one by one doof got over all hi past traumatic experiences as every time perry destroyed one of his innators it was like perry helping him through and destroying one of his traumatic memories similarily I don't think candace's main motivation is to bust her brothers it is to not be treated as a crazy person and be trustworthy to her mom deep inside she knows that she too just wants to have some fun but her issues and constant urge to bust her brothers stops this from ever happenig her inner thoughts have been shown twice in the show once in which she finally succeeds in busting her brothers in her dream and gets super lonely and depressed after that the other when in her wizard of oz themed dream her mom tells her that deep inside she too just wanted to have fun it sometimes seems like she is jelous of phineas and ferb enjoying every day to the fullest but is constantly denying the fact that is why I will say this show had a perfect ending . Sorry for the long comment but I was thinking about this for a lot of time and needed to share it with someone but no one else among my friends or family will listen to my analysis of a kids show where a little kids create world threatening devices for fun and their pet platypus is a secret agent and saves the world from a crazy scientist anyway if you read till this far you have my thanks and my respect
This is an amazing comment and you made great references to episodes here. Especially love how you described Perry destroying Doof's traumatic memories- that's pretty powerful imagery. I know how it feels having no one want to listen when you talk about kids shows! Trust me though, a lot of people out there deeply care about this stuff! ME included! :O
I think the worst was when Perry went normal platypus when doof was trying to get his professor to see that he had a nemesis. I mean it wasnt an evil plan. It was just getting a diploma
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 I know that this is a bit late, but congrats. First you have Martin Olson comment about how brilliant your analysis is, and then you have Dan Povenmire shout you out on Twitter for making his eyes sweat. That is goals. Keep doing what you are doing because your analysis' are so smart. Also this video gave me chills 🎉🎉
@@ZLE_ I was born in 96 haha I remember the first episode, I had to stay at my grandparents house when my mom, dad, and little brother went on vacation to Florida, it quickly became one of my favorite shows
Vanessa is such an understated, but important part of the finale. Being the one that helps her father change works so well because of her own character development throughout the show. At first, she was a punk girl who tried to be as uninvolved as she can be in her father's schemes and came dangerously close to being like Candace. But, her experiences teach her how to appreciate her father more, discover what actually wants to do with her life, and become more emotionally available to those around her. Her transformation into a supportive and empathetic figure and how she inspires her father to do what will make him truly happy in the end is astounding.
The genius. This show is genius. It’s not unlike other shows, that it keeps repeating. But unlike other universes, everything that happens will disappear because of the inators, but it leaves an impact. An impact that was become a huge dent that actually helps everything become resolved. It’s now comepleted. It was never about the brothers or Perry. The plot twist was when we REALIZED who the show was really about. Even after all the repetition, we never truly realized it until the end. I loved this show so much :)
When you think about it, it was always there. Everyone carries on as they always have every episode with basically no difference whatsoever....... except for Candace and Doofensmirtz. As we have seen, over the series there are points where they just point out how pointless or repetitive what they do is and are the ones who get sad or get angry or get really depressed. everyone else is happy and pretty content with the pace of their world, and where they are but not them. they always did stick out in that regard. The two villains who really only wanted recognition for something.

I truly believe that the reason behind this show's success is because when Dan & Jeff first came up with the concept no one wanted to take a chance with it but, they were determined to see succeed and every time it was shot down they went back and rebuild it to be better and better into they got what is hands down the best disney cartoon of the last era.
I wasn't looking for this, but you almost made me cry. I always thought Candance was the main character of the show, not really because of her signature line being the title of the show, but simply because of the premise of the show - making the most of every day. The entire series showed us how Phineas and Ferb (& friends) always made the most of their days by the cool and wacky contraptions they built, but time and time again we see Candance trying to thwart the fun. Ultimately, in the attempt of doing so day after day, she ended up wasting her entire summer because she was too preoccupied with what other people were doing that she never gave enough room for herself. We saw this so many times when she'd flake out on Stacy, hang up on her or Jeremy, or blow off dates midway through because of something with her brothers. That was, until the last day of summer. In retrospect, it took until the last day to finally see that what she'd been fighting against all summer long was exactly what she wanted out of the summer - fun. Memories. I guess that's a bit of a sadder twist, but that was just my thinking. Also, for Doofenshmirtz, I always thought the point of the ending for his character was to show that deep down he was actually too good to be evil, and ultimately he really only wanted acceptance over power.
It's complicated, because Phineas is the default main character of the show, because the show is supposed to revolve around Phineas and Ferb, Phineas being the more prominent one. But on another hand, Perry could arguably also be the main character since he's Phineas and Ferb's pet who also goes to Doof's place, but he's really just the character that connects both of the sides. Oh my word this show is complicated when it comes to who the main character really is, but Candace makes a lot of sense too. Your comment is, honestly, so beautiful.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 "Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy. The first time somebody told me that, I dunno, I thought they were bullshitting me, so boom, I shot him. The thing is... He was right. And then I started seeing, everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked all these fucking pricks, everywhere I looked, doing the exact same fucking thing... Over and over and over and over again thinking: "This time is gonna be different. No, no, no please.... This time is gonna be different." I'm sorry, I don't like... The way... you are looking at me... Okay, Do you have a fucking problem in your head, do you think I am bullshitting you, do you think I am lying? Fuck you! Okay? Fuck you!... It's okay, man. I'm gonna chill, hermano. I'm gonna chill... The thing is... Alright, the thing is I killed you once already... and it's not like I am fucking crazy. It's okay... It's like water under the bridge. Did I ever tell you the definition... of insanity?"
another notion you didn't really mention is the fact that doof is incredibly smart, he can create anything over a day, yet he's stuck because of how horrible he was treated in the past. The dude could be mayor if he wanted to without any of his villainous plans, he could easily be better then his brother but because he is stuck he cant move on. In away he could be happy and bring others joy like phineas and ferb.
He also seems to skip over the most basic and simple things Like plugging in the inventions, or NOT putting a self destruct button on them. Its almost like he is so smart that it actively works against him. Overthinking everything only to miss the most simple things that cud make it actualy work
Years later and this is still my favorite video essay. Too often do video essays go on for too long, repeat themselves, or operate on reading too much into things in an attempt to sound intellectual. This video is an earnest love letter to a show that earned its praise, and efficiently uses its 15 minutes to teach its viewers the core themes and motifs of Phineas and Ferb, and so you come across as more knowledgeable and wise than many I've seen. I myself have had my entire perspective on the show changed, and it's inspired me to make video essays of my own. They probably won't be that great, but I have this love for childhood summer shows like this and Gravity Falls that I just want to communicate with others. The message of the show that you've helped me to realize is so beautiful. It really doesn't matter exactly what it is the characters are doing, it's that they accept change and learn that what really matters in your life is the time you spend with those you love, who you lift up and lift you up simultaneously, and how you grow as a result.
Thank you so much. I often worry that I’m going on too long or that it’s all not engaging enough, so that really means a lot. Good luck with whatever you create!
I really loved that it was Perry that discovered Doof's inator wasn't plugged in because he's the only one that would reliably be able to realize Doof was telling the truth about the time loop when he eventually hears about it from the kids. It made me think about how Perry trusted the kids to save the world earlier in the summer during the 2nd dimension movie's "robot riot." I mean, Perry has relied and trusted them implicitly throughout the whole show so it was kinda nice that (for me at least) it ended once more with Perry being able to count on them. For a platypus with no speaking lines, Perry actually was SUCH a good character
I return to the final episode of Phineas and Ferb every year. Today is the last day of summer, and I just finished it, and so I came back to this video essay for the first time since last summer. Phineas and Ferb is just the most perfect show ever made. I don't think another show will ever capture what it is to be a child as well as this show. I don't know what I could say more than that. I considered giving more thoughts, but honestly I'm just going to leave it there. I hope everyone had a great summer, and a happy coming school/work year to all.
0/10 want a refund had 0 meep even though it was an ADVENTARE IN SPACE(episode 342b) smh. wouldve been smart for the promotions:"oh look cute, we like cute" and hardcore fans:"MEEP, MEEP" anyway, unless you are a true chad you cant understand the text
Let me get this straight, the ending of a kids show on -Nickelodeon- Disney plays with the collapse of space, time, all sentient beings, and all matter ever. This from a show meant for 8 year olds that started with two brother merely making a roller coaster in their backyard and going to space. This show deeper and better written than the majority of tv as a whole. Bravo.
Honestly same Im 17 and tbh im scared bcos the years seems to fly by so fast that im afraid i couldnt keep up and ended up wasting them (seems like yesterday i was just 15 lmao)
it's really beautiful how Candace and Doofenshmirtz never lost the willpower to succeed, despite failing so many times; that in itself is a good message but it's even more beautiful that they finally achieve what they really want by finally changing up their approach Candace in particular had to follow the boys' lead of directionless spontaneity, further reinforcing the sad truth of her character arc; she spent every day of her summer blowing up Stacey and Jeremy to bust her brothers (which is why when Stacey asked Candace where her brothers were and she "who cares" it hit like a ton of bricks cause that was a rare instance of the show deviating from its formula) that she let it pass her by. it never occurred to her to join in on the boys' fun Doof on the other hand is a bit more linear. Yes, he realizes he's too good to be evil, but i think it's pretty apparent from the get go he's not evil at all. The convoluted quest to rule the tri state area is just a facade for his broader longing for acceptance by his daughter, whom he loves *very* much and it can never be overstated how much this man loves his daughter
There's and episode where she tricks herself into having fun with them under the pretense of being with the thing to bust it, and completely forgets she wants to bust them until her mom tells her she is coming home. And I think there were a few instances where she ended up having fun anyway and actively tries to impede Linda's discovery (only to then give in to letting them be busted and be treated as crazy when there is nothing there)
Dang, not only that, in retrospect, they hinted that an ending like this would be what had to happen! There's a handful of episodes where Candace temporarily successfully busts the boys, or where Doof has successfully taken over, and both these situations are always framed as bad endings that need to be undone! They straight up showed us that either of these characters achieving their aims wouldn't be good for them multiple times, and then they finally end it like this? With the characters finally figuring out what they actually need to do to be happy?! Genius!!!
usually when I see a comment from a creator I love, I reply with a reference to their content, but I can’t think of any right now because I’m very tired uhh pickle nick haha funny right
*Fallingwithstyle:* The ending of Phineas and Ferb was genius and no one's ever given it the credit it deserves *Me:* This channel is underrated and no one's ever given it the attention it deserves.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 You know I'm glad you're getting credit for something other than Inanimate Insanity. Your movie reviews and analysis' are amazing.
doof actually grew on me as a kid tbh he’s not that bad if you think about it he’s just projecting his trauma on his inventions but he was never once toxic to his daughter or the ones he loved
The ending is very underrated, and doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Neither does the show. My parents enjoy it, so does my sister, but my cousin, and a couple of my friends think it’s stupid and boring. It’s one of the most well written shows to exist. Same with all the movies! There are character arcs, different voices, a good plots, a perfect ending, secrets between owners, and pets, and great antagonists, etc.What else do you need for a perfect TV show? It’s also very appealing to adults with the wordplay, some adult jokes, and overall random moments. This is one of my favorite TV shows and anybody that thinks it’s boring doesn’t appreciate good writing, or cartoons. I’m 11 years old, and I still enjoy it! It’s a very well written TV show!
There were so many episodes of phineas and ferb I don’t even know if i watched the last day of summer. I just remember watching them in random order everyday lol.
I remember when the finale came out. My brothers, who were in college at this point wanted to call so we could all watch it together. When we were younger, we used to watch it all together after school, because it was the one show we could all watch and not fight over. We were all really sad when it ended, because it was a part of us that we would never get back. But when COVID happened, one perk of having them move in for quarantine was that we would watch it every night after my parents had gone to bed and we would reminisce on our childhood. This show brought us so much closer together than I think anything ever could have and I’m so thankful for that.
Im 25 and just found myself got addicted to P&F when I subbed to Disney+ Alongside Spongebob and Bluey, it’s my favorite show and this made me tear up a bit. I love how brilliant the show is, and I keep searching for a show like it ever since. Everytime I try a new show I just got sad it’s not giving me the same feeling as what P&F making me feel. I love it, I love the ending and I love this analysis
If there's one thing I love about the characters in this show, It's their color schemes. Let's look at Linda, Candace, and Phineas, The three basic main characters of the main story of each episode. Each of them serve a role in each episodes story. Phineas builds the inventions, Candace tries to bust him, and Linda needs to see the invention to bust the boys. Remove one, and what I said above completely changes, as seen in this episode when Linda completely changes when some are all of her children are forgotten. Each of these characters are shown to be connected by their color schemes, each of them having some red, orange, and white on thier hair or clothing, showing that they are all a cog in a repeatedly spinning gear. If one cog is removed,then the gear is obviously going to change somehow. Let's look at Doofenshmirtz, Vanessa, and Perry next. The main color that connects them all is the color black, Doof's shirt, Vanessa's entire outfit, and the black on Perry's fedora. The black on each of these characters represents thier goodness: their allegiance to the good and their hatred of the bad. The black on Perry's fedora is pretty obvious, he fights for the good guys, and so do all the other agents. Doof's black shirt symbolizes that him being "evil" has really just been his mild annoyance of miniscule things. He's not evil, and you can start seeing this throughout the series, mainly in his relationship with Perry, going from his arch-nemesis to his best frenemy. He tries to cover up that he is really not evil with his white lab coat, a color that is uses mainly on the other, much eviler characters in this show, like Rodney or Dr. Diminutive. (Note how he is not wearing anything white in OWCA Files or as Professor Time) Vannesa is wearing fully black because he dislikes his father's evil nature, and just wants him to be a good father. A few minor ones in include how Isabella's white mixes with Phineas' red to make pink, Isabella's main color, symbolizing how she's always wanted to be with Phineas, like their colors, or how the second dimension, which is the true opposite of the first dimension, reverses the colors, make black a symbol of evil until they rebel, reforming black to symbolize good again.
Honest to God, when they introduced the dooverinator I thought they trolled us and that they were gonna go back to the first day of summer for another season🤣
I’ll admit before this video came out, I used to think Candace’s arc in this episode felt unfinished which made me think that was the reason why they’re making the upcoming movie about her, to give the actual proper sendoff for her character, but your video did make me understand that there actually was a bit more of a completion to her arc in the episode, so thanks for making me realize that. I do still hope she has a good arc in the upcoming movie though. Also, when you made that time loop deep dive tweet(which seems to be what you were making this video for), the literal day after you made that tweet, there was an episode of Agents of SHIELD that came out with that type of plot. And I didn’t remind sooner because I don’t have Twitter yet.
EpicMichael Ah you remember! Yes, I actually might do a comprehensive video on the subgenre. I’ve been going through a bunch of movies and shows with that subject so that’ll be a big project. I’m glad to hear this video gave you some more closure on Candace! Yes, hopefully the new movie takes it a step further even! Can’t wait to see it!
Fallingwithstyle Okay, I just got done watching the new movie, and despite getting a bit of a better understanding for her arc in the finale, I absolutely adore the arc they give Candace in the new movie and I feel that was the closure arc I was waiting for. I could go into more but I’ll let you do it for me. Edit: I do still believe the main reason they did this movie was to give Candace her major coming around arc.
Apparently, the finale takes place after the movie (according to the Wikipedia page for Season 4). So the movie really fits in nicely, like a set-up for Candace’s ultimate realization that she doesn’t need to bust her brothers. She learned it in the movie, and the finale reinforced that lessons
I DIDN’T LNOW IT WAS THE LAST EPISODE I KNEW SOMETHING WAS CRAZY MEANINGFUL ABOUT THE WHOLE EPISODE WHEN I FIRST WATCHED IT, I CRIED AT THE BEGINNING BECAUSE THE SECOND SONG IS BEAUTIFUL AND SO FUN, I CRIED IN THE END BECAUSE THE LAST SONG IS JUST BEAUTIFUL I’VE ALWAYS FELT THAT THEY SURPASSED THEMSELVES WITH THE SONGS IN THIS EPISODE THIS SURE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ENDING IT COULDVE BEEN
What I like about it, is that it is repetitive. It's a little bit different each time, but it follows same plot each and every time. Does the same thing over and over and over and over again but it changes each each time to keep you intrigued interested but it keeps a motion so therefore it's for calming can you keep that tribute the memory of innocence and calmness to help you later but it brings that adrenaline for excitement yet it's still the same each time.
I both loved and hated this review. On one hand it was like you were ripping my heart out by telling me phineas and ferb weren't the main essential characters, but on the other hand you were telling me something I knew all along. That Candace and Doofenshmirtz were super important and made things progress. You can especially see that in the new movie, which was amazing. I'm currently rewatching the show and only have a couple episodes left, so this will be good to keep in mind when I'm rewatching the finale. Thank you for making this video and I can't wait for you to review the new movie.
Think about it this way: the show does not work without Phineas and Ferb, because they are the catalyst for Candace's entire character arc and conflict.
When i was younger, i thought this show finale would be like all of this was something that Candace wrote in a book, detailing every summer she had with her brothers. Examples like the beach in the backyard was something that she did to cheer her brothers up because they wanted to go to the beach that day, but something happened and they couldn't; the rollercoaster where Candace walked into their room and saw them making some crazy toy rollercoaster ride. The fights between Perry and Doof were something she created because they had a cat with a weird orange tail named Perry and she spent most of her childhood with him, imagining him being a secret agent.
@@nitamishra9645 just like the Caillou fan theory that Rosie is adopted, the narrator is an older Rosie, and Cailluos story is about a kid diagnosed with cancer. That would explain why in some episodes the story is talked about in the past, unlike traditional kids tv that tells story in the presence, Caillou is allowed to everything and all in all why the story is told in the first place
Sir, that's honestly one of the best analysises of anything I've ever heard, and you are so right. Everything you said was absolutely spot on. I grew up with Phineas and Ferb and there will never be another show like it. Thank you, for this video and for everything you made me understand. It's about the time you spend together, no matter the activity, because you'll create beautiful fond memories.
That was a wonderful analysis! At the end of the day, It’s a show which covers the values of family, while stuck in what seems to be a time loop. As you said, P&F were never fully in the spotlight, especially for character development. Great to have another one of your thought-provoking analysis’s.
A-N-A-L-Y-S-E-S! Analyses-don't forget it! (I figured if what I'm going to do today is correct someone's grammar, I might as well do so in the spirit of Phineas and Ferb!)
Now the designs of Phineas and Ferb also make sense. Candace, their parents and the neighbour kids all look like normal people. Doof kind of does too, although he's a bit weird, but he still has human anatomy. Phines is a triangle and Ferb a rectangle, though 😂 That's because the other people have designs that are supposed to make them more relatable while that's not necessary for the brothers, they just need easily recognizable and bubbly designs.
This gives me a whole new appreciation for the show. I only realized how important doof and Candace were once I rewatched the show, but only in the sense that they were both static characters on side a and b of the story that got in the way of the protagonists. I had it all wrong. They were the protagonists who come around only in the final episode. Thanks
I had never seen this episode, but I find it difficult to express how I feel now, it surely was impactful. I had always thought the "ending" was that episode where they are all grown up. Aside from it, I just thought this was a fun kids show, a simple plot loop that happened to work sublimely. Regardless, I always considered this series as one of the best cartoons ever made, but this adds a complete new layer of genius. To me, this elevates the series to the very top. It is truly mind-blowing that a cartoon for kids can reach this status. Great video! This is a jewel of the Internet!
I can’t be the only one crying after watching this, right? Phineas and Ferb was my entire childhood. I can’t believe it’s been a whole 5 years since the finale. The show inspired my love for STEM and I believe it helped make me into a more creative thinker. Aside from being a kids cartoon I learned so much from this show that will stick with me forever. But unlike Phineas and Ferb, I have a hard time moving on. This show will be in my heart for eternity and while I will miss it dearly, I’ll take a note from the boys’ book and just be grateful for the memories it gave me.
I’m so glad they will be coming back in 2025 but even with it coming back this statement still rains true this show effected us all I will never be able to thank it enough for that
So glad I got recommended this. Phineas and Ferb has always been one of my favorite shows growing up as a child, and even when I'm older. Also, the songs in this final episode are all really beautiful... From the amazing opening "One last day of Summer" to the duet "Tomorrow is this Morning again" which appropriately mirrors Candace and Doof's arcs to "There's no one that I'd rather go nowhere with than you" which brought tears to my eyes and really captured the theme of their summer to the final song "Curtain call/time spent together," which is one of the best ways to draw it all to a close Phineas's wave at the end is one of the most heartwarming and sad moments of the entire show.
I honestly believe the last 5 minutes of Last Day of Summer is perfect TV; the final song is one of my favourites in the whole show, but seeing the characters reflect on their adventures over the summer before it truly kicks in is honestly great. The song going over Phineas and Ferb's inventions was also a nice callback to previous episodes
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 It certainly will be hard to top. Gravity Falls comes close when I think of good curtain calls, but no other show comes closer to a perfect end than Phineas and Ferb
@@legoboy7107 me and my brother always would say that when they were getting their memories erased Phineas and Ferb ducked out of the way so they stilled remembered everything
This was the only show my siblings and I could agree to watch together. I even rewatched it with my younger sister. I love this so much, thanks for the nostalgia :-)
I always saw Vanessa as the Agent 99 to her dad's Maxwell Smart in the show which worked so well. This was one of the very few GREAT cartoons/kids shows of my kids younger years that I could sit and watch with them.
Sadly this past week was my first week of school, the week of the marathon on Disney XD, so I had to miss a lot of it, but I did stay up late on Friday and got to see this episode for the first time ever at like 11:00 pm lol.
Phineas and Ferb is extremely intimate to me. Thanks to this show, I learnt English. Thanks to it, I met a person who is now my boyfriend. Sometimes I feel like I own it my life. Because I know it too well I often judge it harshly, because while it's great, it's also not perfect - but I only do that becaue I know it could be even better. And because it's so intimate, I often avoid other people's opinions on it, since I feel like they want to talk about this show to come across as smart but they don't really get it. But since I've seen your previous videos, I had a feeling I could trust your opinion on it. And let me tell you, you have one hell of a good take. I'm glad this video exists, I absolutely agree with it
It means so much to me that you both felt comfortable and appreciated hearing my take on something that's so important to you. Thank you sincerely for this comment.
I've learnt english with it too! It also got me into drawing and being more creative overall, not to mention the whole "nothing is impossible" thing carved it's way into my 10yo heart and refuses to leave haha. It's a really inspiring show and it doesn't get enough credit for that.
This episode 3000% needs more praise, it is the perfect reflection and celebration of the repetition and formula that the show enforces on us for so long. The timing of this episode was impeccable, and when I say impeccable, I mean COMPLETELY PECCABLE
Okay, but did you have to make me tear up while listening to your analysis? It's just, your conclussion was so meaningful and sweet I couldn't help it.
so Phineas and Ferb is actually a side show while the side shows are actually the real show...this is such a great idea of a show it's so perfect, The focus of the show is Phineas and Ferb but they are actually the side gag , I have never noticed that the side gag was actually the real show the reason why this is such a great show this is marvelous
This review has made me love Phineas and Ferb for an all-new reason now. I'm now going to rewatch the episodes as though I'm watching a show called Candace and Doofenshmirtz since they two, in a way, are the true main characters of the show.
Hi Brian Koch, This was the most brilliant and beautiful analysis of Phineas and Ferb that I have ever heard. Bravo.
Hi Martin Olson, I'm going to need to get this comment framed! I can't begin to describe how much that means to me. In any analysis or show that I write on, I aspire to make something even close to as wonderful as what you've created. Thank you.
Martin Olson: I have to agree
Bravo
I love that cartoon so much
I'm so glad this review is getting the attention it deserves
Phineas and ferb are kids that list a million things when their teacher asked what they did over the summer and then say and that's just day one
Phineas does start off the first episode by mentioning they’ll be asked that question when they get back to school! I’d love to see them finally give their loooong answer haha
I imagined that they would make a huge song about it, kinda like a super extended title sequence

So true. I couldn't help but watch the whole thing.
I searched it up.
A small thing I find interesting about this special is how the disappearance of Phineas and Ferb affects Buford, Baljeet, and Isabella. They aren’t up early, they feel more dull in terms of dialogue and mannerisms, and they lack that spark; the idea that you should make the most of every day. Phineas and Ferb do facilitate the arcs of others, and in a very clear way, and that’s what makes them a beacon; it’s what makes them special.
Yes! It's a stark difference. That's the Phineas and Ferb effect for you.

This show was so formulaic, that they even produced an episode taking place in prehistoric times. All the characters just grunted the entire episode, yet long-time viewers understood exactly what was being communicated. Viewers like me laughed the entire episode because of how the series was making fun of themselves and the predictable plotline.

The way I see it, Doofenshmirtz’s parents were horrible to him, so when you think about how they treated him, it kind of makes sense that he loves Vanessa the way he does, and would want her respect, and possibly be a little annoyingly affectionate of her.
Also, Perry letting Doof think he saved the day is kind of reminiscent of how their nemesis relationship works. He’s supposed to stop his evil plans, but that’s it.
Doofenshmirtz was a bad guy but then he wasn’t.

Would that make phineas and ferb the villains?

Thank you for watching it. We're all like Candace and Doof in a way- that's why we end up relating to them so much. We all have our cycles we put ourselves through, and only we can truly break them.

We all want to change the present for a better future, but at the cost of making it a memory of the past.

They introduced Vanessa as Doofenshmirtz's assistent not as his daughter.. I am glad that they later decided to make her his daughter.
Yes! The reference to her being his daughter was just thrown in at the end of her first episode as a joke. I'm so glad. One of the best parts of the show.

Literally the show is Phineas and Ferb and there’s like a smaller show inside of it called Doof n Perry
Although I noticed that as it went on it seemed to go from being about Phineas and Ferb with Doof and Perry as a subplot to being almost equally about the both of them. But by the time it ended it was more the Doof and Perry show with Phineas and Ferb as the subplot.

Honestly I still hate Candace, there were a couple times in the show where she actually had to consider whether she should bust her brothers or save their lives. The fact that she actually had to have an internal discussion with herself to decide what to do shows that she isn't a good person.
@@jaxonneven6367 I'd argue that isn't so much a "Candace isn't a good person" thing. Think about it. Did she have to pause? Yes. But the fact that she paused in the first place means that she didn't proceed thoughtlessly.

When exactly were they about to die?
Watching Candace genuinely love her brothers and sit down to talk and hang with them honestly ripped my heart to shreds. It's just so sweet.
I couldn't agree more.
It was also her fault to begin with. She was the one who caused ended of world. She wasn't paying attention to Dr. Doorf and press the button of the machine. There should be a episode where some of her class mates talks about summer of how they spend it. While Candace realize she wasted her whole summer busting Phineas and Ferb. Then people are gonna call her a loser party pooper for not knowing how to have fun and spend time with her friends and boyfriend.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 double agreed
one thing i truly adore about this show is the depiction of doof breaking the cycle of abuse. as much as the drusselstein flashbacks are framed humorously, they really do depict an abusive family neglecting a child over and over. of course we see doof dwelling on this trauma and seeking vengeance, because he's never really had enough of a support system to consider an alternative. but the most important part is that HE LOVES VANESSA. he wants her to have the childhood he never had, which results in a smothering approach that she resents, but it always comes from a place of love and respect. heinz is my favorite dad character ever, full stop - his arc is incredible.

I also want to add to the amazing observation made by you that perry perhaps plays the most important role in changing doofenshmirtz life and helping him to leave his horrible past behind and look towards a better future with his family all the inventions he makes are like therapy session for him to vent out his rage and sorrow due to his past , I always thought that doof really doesn't pose a threat to anyone he was defeated by a plant for godsake and perry as we see in the show can break through his traps at any time he wishes but does not do it unless and until doof is finished with his story and his reasons in a way by only listening to him perry helps him take out all his grief also doof always puts a self destruct button in his innators even though he knows that it will cause his defeat everytime it seems he does not actually want to hurt anyone all he wants is some appreciation and attention that he desperately needed when he was a kid he only wants people to notice him for once perry being there to stop him everytime gives him this sense of appreciation and attention that he is a legitimate threat if you remember in the episode where he decided to trash talk to whales for stealing his girlfriend perry leaves him to his own and he desperately chases him begging him to stop him it may be a cartoon show for kids but it draws a lot of attention to real world problems that people face evryday and sometimes having someone listen could work great one by one doof got over all hi past traumatic experiences as every time perry destroyed one of his innators it was like perry helping him through and destroying one of his traumatic memories similarily I don't think candace's main motivation is to bust her brothers it is to not be treated as a crazy person and be trustworthy to her mom deep inside she knows that she too just wants to have some fun but her issues and constant urge to bust her brothers stops this from ever happenig her inner thoughts have been shown twice in the show once in which she finally succeeds in busting her brothers in her dream and gets super lonely and depressed after that the other when in her wizard of oz themed dream her mom tells her that deep inside she too just wanted to have fun it sometimes seems like she is jelous of phineas and ferb enjoying every day to the fullest but is constantly denying the fact that is why I will say this show had a perfect ending .

Vanessa is such an understated, but important part of the finale. Being the one that helps her father change works so well because of her own character development throughout the show. At first, she was a punk girl who tried to be as uninvolved as she can be in her father's schemes and came dangerously close to being like Candace. But, her experiences teach her how to appreciate her father more, discover what actually wants to do with her life, and become more emotionally available to those around her. Her transformation into a supportive and empathetic figure and how she inspires her father to do what will make him truly happy in the end is astounding.
The genius. This show is genius. It’s not unlike other shows, that it keeps repeating. But unlike other universes, everything that happens will disappear because of the inators, but it leaves an impact. An impact that was become a huge dent that actually helps everything become resolved. It’s now comepleted. It was never about the brothers or Perry. The plot twist was when we REALIZED who the show was really about. Even after all the repetition, we never truly realized it until the end.
I loved this show so much :)
That's the crazy thing. We all saw this formula so many times and the true meaning behind it all only clicks in retrospect.
When you think about it, it was always there. Everyone carries on as they always have every episode with basically no difference whatsoever....... except for Candace and Doofensmirtz. As we have seen, over the series there are points where they just point out how pointless or repetitive what they do is and are the ones who get sad or get angry or get really depressed. everyone else is happy and pretty content with the pace of their world, and where they are but not them. they always did stick out in that regard. The two villains who really only wanted recognition for something.

I always thought Candance was the main character of the show, not really because of her signature line being the title of the show, but simply because of the premise of the show - making the most of every day. The entire series showed us how Phineas and Ferb (& friends) always made the most of their days by the cool and wacky contraptions they built, but time and time again we see Candance trying to thwart the fun. Ultimately, in the attempt of doing so day after day, she ended up wasting her entire summer because she was too preoccupied with what other people were doing that she never gave enough room for herself. We saw this so many times when she'd flake out on Stacy, hang up on her or Jeremy, or blow off dates midway through because of something with her brothers. That was, until the last day of summer. In retrospect, it took until the last day to finally see that what she'd been fighting against all summer long was exactly what she wanted out of the summer - fun. Memories.
I guess that's a bit of a sadder twist, but that was just my thinking. Also, for Doofenshmirtz, I always thought the point of the ending for his character was to show that deep down he was actually too good to be evil, and ultimately he really only wanted acceptance over power.
Jesus loves you
The creators have admitted that Candace was always the main character.
Candace and Doofenshmirtz are the main characters of the series
It's complicated, because Phineas is the default main character of the show, because the show is supposed to revolve around Phineas and Ferb, Phineas being the more prominent one. But on another hand, Perry could arguably also be the main character since he's Phineas and Ferb's pet who also goes to Doof's place, but he's really just the character that connects both of the sides.
Oh my word this show is complicated when it comes to who the main character really is, but Candace makes a lot of sense too.
Your comment is, honestly, so beautiful.
This is one of the best analysis's I've seen of any Phineas and Ferb episode.
Wow! Thank you.
@Freddie Reid That's quite a compliment. Thank you.

Insanity is repeating the same thing expecting a different result

another notion you didn't really mention is the fact that doof is incredibly smart, he can create anything over a day, yet he's stuck because of how horrible he was treated in the past. The dude could be mayor if he wanted to without any of his villainous plans, he could easily be better then his brother but because he is stuck he cant move on. In away he could be happy and bring others joy like phineas and ferb.
Milo Murphy's Law kind of explores that concept a little
He apparently did become a teacher or something in the future episode
He also seems to skip over the most basic and simple things
Like plugging in the inventions, or NOT putting a self destruct button on them.
Its almost like he is so smart that it actively works against him. Overthinking everything only to miss the most simple things that cud make it actualy work

Years later and this is still my favorite video essay. Too often do video essays go on for too long, repeat themselves, or operate on reading too much into things in an attempt to sound intellectual. This video is an earnest love letter to a show that earned its praise, and efficiently uses its 15 minutes to teach its viewers the core themes and motifs of Phineas and Ferb, and so you come across as more knowledgeable and wise than many I've seen. I myself have had my entire perspective on the show changed, and it's inspired me to make video essays of my own. They probably won't be that great, but I have this love for childhood summer shows like this and Gravity Falls that I just want to communicate with others.
The message of the show that you've helped me to realize is so beautiful. It really doesn't matter exactly what it is the characters are doing, it's that they accept change and learn that what really matters in your life is the time you spend with those you love, who you lift up and lift you up simultaneously, and how you grow as a result.
Thank you so much. I often worry that I’m going on too long or that it’s all not engaging enough, so that really means a lot. Good luck with whatever you create!
I really loved that it was Perry that discovered Doof's inator wasn't plugged in because he's the only one that would reliably be able to realize Doof was telling the truth about the time loop when he eventually hears about it from the kids.
It made me think about how Perry trusted the kids to save the world earlier in the summer during the 2nd dimension movie's "robot riot." I mean, Perry has relied and trusted them implicitly throughout the whole show so it was kinda nice that (for me at least) it ended once more with Perry being able to count on them. For a platypus with no speaking lines, Perry actually was SUCH a good character
Gravity Falls : See you next summer
Phineas and Ferb : the last day of Summer

Phineas and Ferb is just the most perfect show ever made. I don't think another show will ever capture what it is to be a child as well as this show.
I don't know what I could say more than that. I considered giving more thoughts, but honestly I'm just going to leave it there. I hope everyone had a great summer, and a happy coming school/work year to all.

Let me get this straight, the ending of a kids show on -Nickelodeon- Disney plays with the collapse of space, time, all sentient beings, and all matter ever. This from a show meant for 8 year olds that started with two brother merely making a roller coaster in their backyard and going to space. This show deeper and better written than the majority of tv as a whole. Bravo.
Phineas and Ferb was on Disney Channel, not Nickelodeon.

Honestly same
Im 17 and tbh im scared bcos the years seems to fly by so fast that im afraid i couldnt keep up and ended up wasting them
(seems like yesterday i was just 15 lmao)
it's really beautiful how Candace and Doofenshmirtz never lost the willpower to succeed, despite failing so many times; that in itself is a good message
but it's even more beautiful that they finally achieve what they really want by finally changing up their approach
Candace in particular had to follow the boys' lead of directionless spontaneity, further reinforcing the sad truth of her character arc; she spent every day of her summer blowing up Stacey and Jeremy to bust her brothers (which is why when Stacey asked Candace where her brothers were and she "who cares" it hit like a ton of bricks cause that was a rare instance of the show deviating from its formula) that she let it pass her by. it never occurred to her to join in on the boys' fun
Doof on the other hand is a bit more linear. Yes, he realizes he's too good to be evil, but i think it's pretty apparent from the get go he's not evil at all. The convoluted quest to rule the tri state area is just a facade for his broader longing for acceptance by his daughter, whom he loves *very* much and it can never be overstated how much this man loves his daughter
There's and episode where she tricks herself into having fun with them under the pretense of being with the thing to bust it, and completely forgets she wants to bust them until her mom tells her she is coming home. And I think there were a few instances where she ended up having fun anyway and actively tries to impede Linda's discovery (only to then give in to letting them be busted and be treated as crazy when there is nothing there)
Finally someone else is aware that "tomorrow is this morning again" is the best song
There shouldn't be any doubt.

Dang, not only that, in retrospect, they hinted that an ending like this would be what had to happen! There's a handful of episodes where Candace temporarily successfully busts the boys, or where Doof has successfully taken over, and both these situations are always framed as bad endings that need to be undone! They straight up showed us that either of these characters achieving their aims wouldn't be good for them multiple times, and then they finally end it like this? With the characters finally figuring out what they actually need to do to be happy?! Genius!!!
I didn’t even know this was the finale. I have never seen this episode in my life.

The ending is very underrated, and doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Neither does the show. My parents enjoy it, so does my sister, but my cousin, and a couple of my friends think it’s stupid and boring. It’s one of the most well written shows to exist. Same with all the movies! There are character arcs, different voices, a good plots, a perfect ending, secrets between owners, and pets, and great antagonists, etc.What else do you need for a perfect TV show? It’s also very appealing to adults with the wordplay, some adult jokes, and overall random moments. This is one of my favorite TV shows and anybody that thinks it’s boring doesn’t appreciate good writing, or cartoons. I’m 11 years old, and I still enjoy it! It’s a very well written TV show!

im 15 years old and I still love it. This show, in my opinion, has no age limit, everyone can enjoy it.
There were so many episodes of phineas and ferb I don’t even know if i watched the last day of summer. I just remember watching them in random order everyday lol.
I remember when the finale came out. My brothers, who were in college at this point wanted to call so we could all watch it together. When we were younger, we used to watch it all together after school, because it was the one show we could all watch and not fight over. We were all really sad when it ended, because it was a part of us that we would never get back. But when COVID happened, one perk of having them move in for quarantine was that we would watch it every night after my parents had gone to bed and we would reminisce on our childhood. This show brought us so much closer together than I think anything ever could have and I’m so thankful for that.
phineas and ferb is one of the most underrated shows, not for it's goofy fun premise, but for its deceitfully intelligent writing.
My summer has been 174 days long and counting. Phineas and Ferb haven’t got anything on me.
Im 25 and just found myself got addicted to P&F when I subbed to Disney+
Alongside Spongebob and Bluey, it’s my favorite show and this made me tear up a bit. I love how brilliant the show is, and I keep searching for a show like it ever since. Everytime I try a new show I just got sad it’s not giving me the same feeling as what P&F making me feel.
I love it, I love the ending and I love this analysis
Lucky for us, more P&F is coming soon!
If there's one thing I love about the characters in this show, It's their color schemes.
Let's look at Linda, Candace, and Phineas, The three basic main characters of the main story of each episode. Each of them serve a role in each episodes story. Phineas builds the inventions, Candace tries to bust him, and Linda needs to see the invention to bust the boys. Remove one, and what I said above completely changes, as seen in this episode when Linda completely changes when some are all of her children are forgotten.
Each of these characters are shown to be connected by their color schemes, each of them having some red, orange, and white on thier hair or clothing, showing that they are all a cog in a repeatedly spinning gear. If one cog is removed,then the gear is obviously going to change somehow.
Let's look at Doofenshmirtz, Vanessa, and Perry next. The main color that connects them all is the color black, Doof's shirt, Vanessa's entire outfit, and the black on Perry's fedora. The black on each of these characters represents thier goodness: their allegiance to the good and their hatred of the bad.
The black on Perry's fedora is pretty obvious, he fights for the good guys, and so do all the other agents.
Doof's black shirt symbolizes that him being "evil" has really just been his mild annoyance of miniscule things. He's not evil, and you can start seeing this throughout the series, mainly in his relationship with Perry, going from his arch-nemesis to his best frenemy. He tries to cover up that he is really not evil with his white lab coat, a color that is uses mainly on the other, much eviler characters in this show, like Rodney or Dr. Diminutive. (Note how he is not wearing anything white in OWCA Files or as Professor Time)
Vannesa is wearing fully black because he dislikes his father's evil nature, and just wants him to be a good father.
A few minor ones in include how Isabella's white mixes with Phineas' red to make pink, Isabella's main color, symbolizing how she's always wanted to be with Phineas, like their colors, or how the second dimension, which is the true opposite of the first dimension, reverses the colors, make black a symbol of evil until they rebel, reforming black to symbolize good again.
Wow, that is fascinating! Never even thought of this. I love it!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 thanks!
You are so right. The colors are genius
Nice fact, although I just want to say: Vanessa is “she”, not “he” :|
@@Playmaker6174 sadly now that it got hearted he can't fix it without the heart being removed

Hahaha oh gosh, that's certainly one way to keep the show going!
Or it could’ve been an infinite loop making the show endless.
This video is way beyond UNDERRATED!!! So DEEP analysis unraveled the true meaning of the show! Ur GENIUS!!
Thank you so much!!!!
I’ll admit before this video came out, I used to think Candace’s arc in this episode felt unfinished which made me think that was the reason why they’re making the upcoming movie about her, to give the actual proper sendoff for her character, but your video did make me understand that there actually was a bit more of a completion to her arc in the episode, so thanks for making me realize that. I do still hope she has a good arc in the upcoming movie though.
Also, when you made that time loop deep dive tweet(which seems to be what you were making this video for), the literal day after you made that tweet, there was an episode of Agents of SHIELD that came out with that type of plot. And I didn’t remind sooner because I don’t have Twitter yet.
EpicMichael Ah you remember! Yes, I actually might do a comprehensive video on the subgenre. I’ve been going through a bunch of movies and shows with that subject so that’ll be a big project.
I’m glad to hear this video gave you some more closure on Candace! Yes, hopefully the new movie takes it a step further even! Can’t wait to see it!
Fallingwithstyle Okay, I just got done watching the new movie, and despite getting a bit of a better understanding for her arc in the finale, I absolutely adore the arc they give Candace in the new movie and I feel that was the closure arc I was waiting for. I could go into more but I’ll let you do it for me.
Edit: I do still believe the main reason they did this movie was to give Candace her major coming around arc.
@@epicmichael525 Yeah the movie felt like a last chapter a missing one
Apparently, the finale takes place after the movie (according to the Wikipedia page for Season 4). So the movie really fits in nicely, like a set-up for Candace’s ultimate realization that she doesn’t need to bust her brothers. She learned it in the movie, and the finale reinforced that lessons
Fallingwithstyle make sure Netflix’s Russian Dolls is on that list. It won Emmys for writing and is SO good.

Man really got me watching THIS of all things at 8:28 AM. TH-cam what have you done to me....
What I like about it, is that it is repetitive. It's a little bit different each time, but it follows same plot each and every time. Does the same thing over and over and over and over again but it changes each each time to keep you intrigued interested but it keeps a motion so therefore it's for calming can you keep that tribute the memory of innocence and calmness to help you later but it brings that adrenaline for excitement yet it's still the same each time.
I both loved and hated this review. On one hand it was like you were ripping my heart out by telling me phineas and ferb weren't the main essential characters, but on the other hand you were telling me something I knew all along. That Candace and Doofenshmirtz were super important and made things progress. You can especially see that in the new movie, which was amazing. I'm currently rewatching the show and only have a couple episodes left, so this will be good to keep in mind when I'm rewatching the finale. Thank you for making this video and I can't wait for you to review the new movie.
Haha sorry for ripping your heart out, Jess. Glad you appreciated it though!
th-cam.com/video/4xE1bAJmyFU/w-d-xo.html
Think about it this way: the show does not work without Phineas and Ferb, because they are the catalyst for Candace's entire character arc and conflict.
I remember watching the finale as a kid back in the Summer of 2015. Shit had me in tears. Phineas and Ferb will forever be one of my childhoood shows
The people who wrote that ending and this show are as smart as Phineas and Ferb
indeed, cause they are! XD
When i was younger, i thought this show finale would be like all of this was something that Candace wrote in a book, detailing every summer she had with her brothers. Examples like the beach in the backyard was something that she did to cheer her brothers up because they wanted to go to the beach that day, but something happened and they couldn't; the rollercoaster where Candace walked into their room and saw them making some crazy toy rollercoaster ride. The fights between Perry and Doof were something she created because they had a cat with a weird orange tail named Perry and she spent most of her childhood with him, imagining him being a secret agent.
That just sound like a "and it was all a dream" ending with extra steps
@@nitamishra9645 just like the Caillou fan theory that Rosie is adopted, the narrator is an older Rosie, and Cailluos story is about a kid diagnosed with cancer.

I grew up with Phineas and Ferb and there will never be another show like it.
Thank you, for this video and for everything you made me understand. It's about the time you spend together, no matter the activity, because you'll create beautiful fond memories.
That was a wonderful analysis! At the end of the day, It’s a show which covers the values of family, while stuck in what seems to be a time loop. As you said, P&F were never fully in the spotlight, especially for character development.
Great to have another one of your thought-provoking analysis’s.
Thanks so much. It really is a loop that can only be broken by truly appreciating the time spent together with family and friends.
A-N-A-L-Y-S-E-S! Analyses-don't forget it!
(I figured if what I'm going to do today is correct someone's grammar, I might as well do so in the spirit of Phineas and Ferb!)
Now the designs of Phineas and Ferb also make sense. Candace, their parents and the neighbour kids all look like normal people. Doof kind of does too, although he's a bit weird, but he still has human anatomy. Phines is a triangle and Ferb a rectangle, though 😂
That's because the other people have designs that are supposed to make them more relatable while that's not necessary for the brothers, they just need easily recognizable and bubbly designs.
Doof: A kickass platypus?
Perry: *puts on hat*
Doof: Perry the kickass platypus?!
I would never guess that I would get so emotional watching a Phineas and Pherb review. This video is just great. Congratulations.
Aww. Thank you.
This gives me a whole new appreciation for the show. I only realized how important doof and Candace were once I rewatched the show, but only in the sense that they were both static characters on side a and b of the story that got in the way of the protagonists. I had it all wrong. They were the protagonists who come around only in the final episode. Thanks
I had never seen this episode, but I find it difficult to express how I feel now, it surely was impactful. I had always thought the "ending" was that episode where they are all grown up. Aside from it, I just thought this was a fun kids show, a simple plot loop that happened to work sublimely. Regardless, I always considered this series as one of the best cartoons ever made, but this adds a complete new layer of genius. To me, this elevates the series to the very top. It is truly mind-blowing that a cartoon for kids can reach this status. Great video! This is a jewel of the Internet!

I can’t be the only one crying after watching this, right? Phineas and Ferb was my entire childhood. I can’t believe it’s been a whole 5 years since the finale. The show inspired my love for STEM and I believe it helped make me into a more creative thinker. Aside from being a kids cartoon I learned so much from this show that will stick with me forever. But unlike Phineas and Ferb, I have a hard time moving on. This show will be in my heart for eternity and while I will miss it dearly, I’ll take a note from the boys’ book and just be grateful for the memories it gave me.
This comment made me emotional
I’m so glad they will be coming back in 2025 but even with it coming back this statement still rains true
this show effected us all I will never be able to thank it enough for that
So glad I got recommended this. Phineas and Ferb has always been one of my favorite shows growing up as a child, and even when I'm older.
Also, the songs in this final episode are all really beautiful...
From the amazing opening "One last day of Summer"
to the duet "Tomorrow is this Morning again" which appropriately mirrors Candace and Doof's arcs
to "There's no one that I'd rather go nowhere with than you" which brought tears to my eyes and really captured the theme of their summer
to the final song "Curtain call/time spent together," which is one of the best ways to draw it all to a close
Phineas's wave at the end is one of the most heartwarming and sad moments of the entire show.
I honestly believe the last 5 minutes of Last Day of Summer is perfect TV; the final song is one of my favourites in the whole show, but seeing the characters reflect on their adventures over the summer before it truly kicks in is honestly great. The song going over Phineas and Ferb's inventions was also a nice callback to previous episodes
It really is. Will there ever be a sweeter curtain call?

Phineas and Ferb is extremely intimate to me. Thanks to this show, I learnt English. Thanks to it, I met a person who is now my boyfriend. Sometimes I feel like I own it my life. Because I know it too well I often judge it harshly, because while it's great, it's also not perfect - but I only do that becaue I know it could be even better. And because it's so intimate, I often avoid other people's opinions on it, since I feel like they want to talk about this show to come across as smart but they don't really get it.

I sadly never got to see the episode when it aired in fact I saw it three years ago and everything you said you hit on the head perfectly.
Thank you, Spector! I remember I had to wait several extra days since I wasn't done with my full series marathon yet! Very glad you enjoyed.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 Wow ! And no prob can't wait for tommorow

Okay, but did you have to make me tear up while listening to your analysis? It's just, your conclussion was so meaningful and sweet I couldn't help it.
Thank you, Wansue.
so Phineas and Ferb is actually a side show while the side shows are actually the real show...this is such a great idea of a show it's so perfect, The focus of the show is Phineas and Ferb but they are actually the side gag , I have never noticed that the side gag was actually the real show the reason why this is such a great show this is marvelous
This review has made me love Phineas and Ferb for an all-new reason now. I'm now going to rewatch the episodes as though I'm watching a show called Candace and Doofenshmirtz since they two, in a way, are the true main characters of the show.
