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!
Dr. Doofenshmirtz at Oogie Boogie Bash
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.
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.
Agent P appears as a silhouette on one of his monitors.
Dan Povenmire Meets Dr. Doofenshmirtz
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.
