Featured review
Villains unleashed
When 'Phineas and Ferb' first started to air, Disney Channel was nowhere near as good as it used to be and still isn't. Instead of the likes of the animated Disney shows of the 80s and 90s, most of it was and still is animated shows with childish humour and Disney Channel sitcoms and unfortunately it tended to not be the good ones. This continued throughout the whole of 'Phineas and Ferb's' run to the extent that this became one of the few shows airing on the Channel worth watching.
Absolutely loved the concepts for both "Doofapus" and "Norm Unleashed". Both are done justice and both are superb episodes in their own way. It's always great when villains are heavily focused on and both episodes show clear evidence that the writers were having the time of their lives with the character writing for both Doofenschmirtz and Norm in scenarios worthy of them. It's hard to say which is the better episode of the two, so to me they're equal.
Everything comes together beautifully. The animation is still wonderfully vibrant with very rich attention to detail. 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.
Furthermore, the writing is a triumph. The dialogue is sharp and intelligent, with plenty of laugh-out-loud lines and witty exchanges. The gags are many and they are beautifully timed and never less than very amusing, all without being too manic or lacking in breathing space. Seeing Doofenschmirtz as a platypus was truly priceless and it was very interesting and very funny to see this wonderfully wild side. Norm is the most interesting he's been in a while and is a suitably formidable threat.
Both settings are handled with great affection and it did feel like everybody involved was having a lot of fun. Although 'Phineas and Ferb' tends to follow a formula, there is a lot of variety and imagination that it doesn't feel formulaic. The character writing and interaction are pretty much perfect. Likewise with the voice acting,
Concluding, fabulous. 10/10.
