Dan Povenmire Met Dr. Doofenshmirtz at Oogie Boogie Bash (And So Did We!)

At Oogie Boogie Bash, a separately ticketed Halloween event at Disney California Adventure, “Phineas and Ferb” creator Dan Povenmire got to meet Dr. Doofenshmirtz — and so did we!

Three staff members, one looking reminiscent of a character from Dan Povenmire's creations, are managing a large cauldron filled with colorful items outside a building. One employee is dressed in a green apron, while the others are in uniform. Pedestrians pass by in the background.

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, self-proclaimed greatest villain in the Tri-State Area, greets guests from the stage inside the Disney Theater, located in Hollywood Land. His “lab” is a treat trail stop.

A person, presumably a scientist, is operating a control panel on a stage set with futuristic decor. Dr. Doofenshmirtz observes from the side as three individuals in uniform, including Dan Povenmire, stand nearby—two engaged in conversation—while blue lighting illuminates the scene.

His set is an amalgam of cartoon background and “-inator” props. He serves as the main antagonist of “Phineas and Ferb,” facing off against Agent P. (a.k.a. Perry the Platypus). Their conflicts are often the cause for the erasure of Phineas and Ferb’s antics, just in time for Candace to fail to prove them to their mom.

Animated elements are around the stage to enhance the set.

Doofenshmirtz is dressed in his iconic style: green pants, a black turtleneck, and a white lab coat.

His exaggerated features are done in a more realistic fashion.

Povenmire, in addition to co-creating “Phineas and Ferb” with Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, is the voice for Doofenshmirtz. In a video posted to his X account, he and the on-stage Doofenshmirtz unite and declare their intent to conquer the entire Tri-State area.

Povenmire is also a Disney Parks fan. He’s posted before about Rise of the Resistance (both an encounter with a Cast Member and an occasion where he called Imagineer Scott Trowbridge to complain when the ride broke down). He also has the Doofenshmirtz figure from Agent P.’s World Showcase Adventure, a retired attraction from EPCOT at Walt Disney World in Florida.

A renewal of “Phineas and Ferb” has been ordered by Disney.
