And yet Dr. Doofenshmirtz has yet to make appearance at the Disney Parks as a walk around character. I would love to see him during Halloween time at the Parks.

They could've just made them look like REAL people, because they transported to the REAL WORLD. That would've made total sense to the audience. (Probably would've helped the budget too🤷‍♀️) Doof and Perry can stay tho, they're fine.

I simply don't understand why they didn't just have the more human-shaped characters show their faces and wear wigs... Like it would be less "cartoon accurate" but also a lot less terrifying/distracting than the weird eye mask/helmet things lol

Her name is Ashley tisdale, she was also the voice of Candice. That's why they use her in the realistic cartoon. I was out of the age range that the show was targeting when it started , but I loved it immediately. I have every episode recorded on DVD. I'm a big animation fan.

Either go full mascot or go full face character. Don’t give Isabella, Candace, and the rest of them half-faced bug eyes.

i actually saw this live in a local city in my state, and when they invited kids onto the stage one of the kids started to try and fight Dr. Doof. Like my guy was throwing fists at him and the girls dancing had to take him back

Wow, I'm glad the costume designer eventually got a chance to work on something with a proper budget and show her skills, because if I were her I'd hate to have this be the last item on my resumé.

Isabella is so cursed in the show, like what the heck? She's an innocent little girl but here she looks cursed with that... Pool float for hair and cursed goggles! At least her catchphrase is the same tho

The terror felt when seeing 3d Phineas is similar to whenever he would look forward in the show. He always looked so weird and strange so honestly the 3d in person version isn't far off from how it looked whenever he looked straight forward in the show.

I wonder how many kids were traumatized by this show. The images of those bug eyed children may haunt my nightmares forever 🤣🤣🤣. I was at the age where I was phasing out of liking Disney Channel when this show started, so I really had no idea there was a live show of it. Thank you Dan for teaching me about another bonkers piece of Disney live entertainment

What really sends me is the inconsistency. Phineas, Ferb and Buford get whole costumes, but Candace, Isabella and Baljeet are just normal dudes? Weird.

Amazing how the costume designer for this show went on to create the Nintendo Land costumes which look GREAT.

Funny enough, I asked Phineas' voice actor, Vincent Martella, at a convention last year about which costumes he'd prefer, the live show or the theme parks. And he and I both agreed that the costumes from the parks look better than the live show. Also, I feel that Cynthia Nordstrom should also design costumes for the Disney characters at some point.

Dan: “i’ll be honest-“ Me, immediately: “i don’t really understand…!”

I remember this one clip where the Phineas performer goes 🎵 "Locating Frankenstein's Brain" And the prop hand passes the brain, only for the performer just HAS NO GRIP AND LOSES IT IMMEDIATELY 🤣

Omg I remember seeing this as a kid !! My mom and I still joke with each other to this day about how Phineas moves his head to talk 😭

i saw phineas and ferb live when it debuted in lakeland, fl. i was 9 years old and was obsessed with all things pnf, going to disney often to see the pnf related attractions they had the time. i was looking forward to seeing perry as i have always wanted to meet him in the parks (and still do!), but never got to as he was so hard to find. i was...disappointed to say the least. 😭 it was a really good show, the parents enjoyed it for sure, but the costumes were so... wow

I love live stage adaptations of animated shows so much, the potential for cursed costumes are off the charts. I almost started cry-laughing when Phineas’ head wildly flapped back and forth as he spoke.

I feel like Dan never watched the show he seems genuinely surprised by some of the stuff thats all from the show lol

The Perry, Doof and Buford costumes look great! Everyone else's is pure nightmare fuel.

Phineas and Ferb is a really good show. I’m also pretty sure the original song for the tour is the only original song for the tour. The other songs are the from the show. S.I.M.P, Busted, Miniature Disco Golfing Queen and Summer Belongs To You.

I'm just wondering what happened in Doof's childhood to inspire his Broadway plot

I actually WENT to this with my cousin, so we have the experience of seeing this live. While yeah, it does look creepy, a part of me can’t help but have a soft spot in my heart for it, cause I saw this when I was a HUGE Phineas and Ferb fangirl.

THIS LIVE SHOW IS TERRIFYING and i love it

I definitely recommend Phineas and Ferb to anyone, no matter how old you are :) it's genuinely funny, fun, and clever all at the same time and I still discover jokes or things I missed to this day Also simp, disco miniature golfing queen, summer belongs to you, backyard beach, and follow the sun were all from the tv show, and I might have missed some Oh and doof's broadway style musical numbers are surprisingly common in the show lol

I love how the plot is for us to love Doofensmirtz but I was already in taken the second that costume popped on stage. His articulations are brilliant for the evil-but-not-evil villain of the show

At least Jack Skellington is non-human, so his park costume makes sense and I grew into liking the costume (I get being unsettled by him when I first saw the pics of him in the parks though), on the other hand the PnF characters are mostly human so making most of them helmet-bug-eyed-cowl-live-costumed characters is a new level of nightmare fuel/uncanny valley (And this is from a scream street mascot pfp lmao)

6:22 How many of us shouted "ISABELLA" when said is Isabelle.

My new favorite quote “those are normal phineas and furbies.” -Dan

I'm so confused on why both Perry and Doofenshmirtz have quality costumes. And then the rest of the cast apart from Buford and Ferb are outright terrifying.

You can tell Dan is having a blast in this video

Absolutely nightmare fuel, but phineas and ferb is my comfort show. Anytime I'm having a bad day, I turn the cartoon on and it helps.

Omg I saw this show at the same place TWICE. This was my favorite show when I was younger it was like a dream come true for me. I still have the photo I took there, it came in a PnF themed frame and the backdrop was their backyard and they had a plastic perry little kids could sit on (which I did haha). I also still have my perry flag I got from the show in my room to this day :)

I don't even know what's creepier. This or the The Fairly OddParents live show from Spain.

“violent neck whippings” gets me EVERY. TIME. 😂😂😂

Hey Dan, Here is a list of the costume performers for the show: Adrian Baez- Phineas Flynn(2011-2013) Nicholas Bouthilette- Ferb Flynn Fletcher(2011-2013) Bailey Callahan- Candace Flynn(2011-2012),Demi Ahlert(2012-2013) Valen Casilla- Baljeet(2011-2013) Justin Kouns and Michael Hernandez-Buford(2011-2012), Justin Murdock(2012-2013) Emily Derrick- Isabella(2011-2012), Rebecca Hutt(2012-2013) Nicole Dalton- Milly(2011-2012), Emily Derrick(2012-2013) Erica Turpin- Gretchen(2011-2012), Chandler Dawes(2012-2013) Julianne Jouglard- Katie(2011-2012), Natalie Freeman(2012-2013) Jake Voelz- Jeremy(2011-2012), Morris Beyada(2012-2013) Bartley Mullin- Dr. Doofenshmirtz(2011-2012), Brady Swanson(2012-2013) Tiffany Westfall- Perry The Platypus( 2011-2012), Hilary Kadoya(2012-2013) Your Welcome and I agree with you, some of these costumes look better from a distance than up close🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

After 18 minutes of looking at these costumes, I started to get used to them and they looked kinda normal… Also, now I’m broken inside and blame Disney Dan.

“I had to take this journey and now so do you!” Dan sounds like one of those crazed lunatic cult leaders, and I’m all here for it!

I remember wanting to go to this because I was sooooo obsessed with Phineas and Ferb. But at the last minute they canceled the performance in my area and replaced it with another Disney live tour. Probably for the best that I missed out on it. Those costumes are pretty terrifying, and it feels very pandering to the kids who only remember the season 1 episodes.

… and yet, I STILL love this show. I felt like such a cool kid when I figured out that Ferb’s silhouette and the Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. building shape are the same. But ohhhh howdy … yeah … the live show looks like it’s helmed by Lucio Fulci.

Nah bc the “breaking through the fourth wall” bit was actually pretty clever, and might’ve worked nicely had the costume designs not been so atrocious😭

Dan i dont know if you know this, but the plot to just about every episode of Phineas and Ferb has Dr. D trying to do the same kind of plan. It sounds crazy when you hear it one off but its normal in the show. I need Dan to just watch one episode of Phineas and Ferb, just one cause its everything that he thought was weird with the plot of the live action. and the reason they use ashley tisdale as the "live action" version in the show is cause she voices Candace

After seeing and trying to unsee the unholy horror of the Phineas, Ferb, Ursula and Hades live show costumes, I'm starting to believe that Disney has deals with child psychologists across the world. After Disney scared the Mickey Mouse shaped Graham Crackers out of the kids, they get a cut of the payments on the visits. 🤣

Costume design all comes down to budget and the influence of the director. You can conceptually have great designs but if you only have a small budget or not a huge team to build costumes, then you can end up with this kind of crazy nonsense haha!

Phineas and Ferb was my childhood, even today I still go back with my brothers and rewatch old episodes but I’m really glad I wasn’t made aware of this nightmare fuel when the show was in its prime.

This musical sounds pretty hilarious, regardless of the costumes.

i remember going to see this show when it was touring. It was a wild experience and I don't think ill ever forget it. But i must say, a lot of the stuff you were confused about/surprised about by the show wasn't really surprising because it's all stuff that happened in Phineas and Ferb. The beach party scene, the Doof Perry plot, etc etc, were all in the actual cartoon. Also, i vividly remember only One part of the show, and it was when they all get tambourines thrown to them from offstage, i remember Baljeet just completely missing the catch on his tambourine and it just clattered to the ground.

Disney Dan kind of has this evil laugh going on which makes this all scarier.

I'd love to see a video about Journey into the Jungle Book. It was a show at Animal Kingdom that started way back on opening day, but eventually got replaced by Tarzan Rocks!, which then got replaced by Finding Nemo: The Musical up to today.

This show is my childhood, this live action show is my sleep paralysis demon

Jezz, these costumes are Icecapets levels of creepy. Especially because they tried to combine the aspects of costumed and Face character and ended up getting the worst of both worlds. Like either make everyone a complete costume or make everyone a face (except Perry of course), Phineas would've probably still been cursed but that's just how he looks like if he's looking at you directly. Btw I find it infinitely funny how Dan is trying to explain the shows and I'm sitting here going "Yes of course, just like in the Show." 😂 Also where is Stacy? They literally played one of her songs (Mini Golf Queen) without her? *Blasphemy!*

Have you seen MWCA, the Phineas and Ferb musical on KZfaq? It is amazing! The actors in it are freakishly similar to the source material and it is everything Phineas and Ferb Live should have been!

This video is hysterical lmao I love how much fun you're having while describing the horror 😂

I am usually pretty loathe to call things nightmare fuel, but good golly this is truly nightmare fuel. I love P&F but this is just... man, choices sure were made weren't they!!!

These costumes were such a missed opportunity because the costumes that they have in the park are amazing!

I did go to see the show live for my birthday around when I was turning 7. I don't remember too much about it but I do remember the costumes being vaguely unsettling...

I remember seeing this with my friends in 2012 and enjoying it like a bit (mainly cause I was big fan of the show back then) but looking back at it all, IT WAS ONE OF STRANGEST AND FUNNIEST THINGS EVER

Been feeling pretty down lately, today especially's been long and hard for me because of life stuff, but I gotta be honest, Dan's laughter is so infectious I couldn't help but laugh along when I haven't done that for weeks. Thanks for being a light in a dark time for me and surely many others, Dan!

Oh, I remember this. I saw this show twice. The first time I saw it was up in Syracuse, NY back in 2011 and then, the second time was down in Binghamton, NY a year later and I did remember enjoying it because I was a fan of Phineas and Ferb around that time. Looking back now, especially since after re-visiting the entire show with its 2nd movie, Candace Against the Universe, I'll admit, I like the idea of the live show and they did a fine job in what it's doing, but I do agree the costumes for it does look a little awkward looking back. But I will admit, if there's a couple things I enjoyed about the show looking back that is incredible, is one when Act 2 started and Dr. Doofenshmirtz tested out his Audience-Control-Inator, they brought in members from the audience to be their test subjects and I remember during my 2nd time seeing the show, I was one of the lucky people asked to come on stage and be one of the test subjects. I'll admit, I had a blast with it and it's just so incredible. Plus beforehand, I got a special gift from the entire cast around the same time as my first time seeing the show for my Birthday of 2011 which is a card like flyer with the live show's logo with the entire cast's autograph all over it. Which I still kept to this day. So, yeah. Great memories from the show and I'm glad I saw it twice within a couple years during the time.

Your homework Dan is to watch one episode of Phineas and Ferb a day. It will make your life happier.

i never saw this live but saw the video of the show. other than the nightmare costumes, it’s one of feld entertainment’s best productions! the writing is genius and captures the essence of what made the original show so charming!

mr. disney dan you need to watch phineas and ferb. and yes S.I.M.P. is actually a song from the show. also was about to say this live show feels very season 1-esque but then SUMMER BELONGS TO YOU POPS UP??? FROM SEASON 2??? Christ

Speaking as a massive fan of Phineas and Ferb Most of this show is based on various episodes of the show particularly from seasons 1 and 2 lol From what I see there actually isn’t much specific to the live show, other than the stuff that’s specifically referring to the plot of the show it all comes from the TV show

The tour actually ran from 2011 to 2013, around the time of the height of the show's popularity. And I think it's interesting that the costume designer went on to create Nintendo costumes for Universal, which would probably make me think that the crew didn't have much time to put a lot of effort into it. This was announced in May of 2011, three months before the first show. I would say the highlights were the few costumes that actually looked good, and that the actual voice actors recorded the dialogue. But if you want a really good (and unofficial) P&F live show, Musical Without a Cool Acronym (MWCA) is the definitive one. Plus, the virtual version got the creators and voice of Phineas for cameos.

There’s definitely a creepy history of how the Mad Hatter costumes in Disney parks has evolved 🫖 🎩 ☕️

The flashlight bit from the Perry introduction is similar to a bit from Disney’s Pleasure Island PI 2000 Dance Party- they had the dancers come out and do a synchronized dance with giant hand flashlights

My brother and I were OBSESSED with this show!! Such good memories

Phineas and Ferb: Terrifying in The 3rd Dimension

I went to go see the show when it came to my town when I was little and I had an absolute blast! Looking back at it now these costumes are terrifying but I will always have fond memories of me and my friend singing along with the songs

"Hey Ferb, I know what we're going to do today, give children nightmares"

A small note. I'm not sure if it's common vernacular but the low pants in the Perry costume are usually called "dropped crotch" in the fursuiting world

Yes! Finally, Phineas And Ferb! 😍😍😍 Agent P And Dr. Doofenshmirtz costumes DONE RIGHT! 😍😍 I LOVE IT!

I don’t see why doof needs to build away so we can all love them when everyone already love’s him

this has brought back memories I forgot about when I was taken to see their first performance in lakeland. I convinced my mom to buy me a perry plush after the show

I love Dans laugh, there is no throttle/level of pitch, there is only “Not laughing” or “Disney Villain Crazy laughing”

The thumbnail is hilarious 😂

I remember seeing this show when I was a kid, I don't think I realized just how funny looking the costumes looked, but seeing this really was nostalgic! I still have an Agent P mug from the show merch that's like a figure of his head, and you drink from it by taking off his fedora!

Here’s the thing, I understand what they were going for. They were going for the classic “taking the characters from the show and putting them on stage.” The problem with Phineas and Ferb however is that a lot of the characters have very distinct and specific looking designs. So obviously there’s gonna be some problems when translating them into a live touring show!

That Dr. Doofenshmirtz costume really needs to be used in the parks as a meet and great during Halloween or whatever, he looks awesome!

I actually went when I was in middle school. My mom got free tickets due to working with a sponsor for the theater the show was going on in, and we didn't have anything better to do so we went. It was... something.

Disney Dan's laugh is one of the best laughs in KZfaq.

“Isabelle” Her name is Isabella.

So many of Dan's videos are like, here's your nightmares for tonight! And this is one of them.

I was really hoping they were gonna do "summer belongs to you" that song is a bop. also the graphics at 14:36 they were showing during SIMP was wild lol.

I literally was looking for this video last week hoping it existed. Thank you!! 🙌🏻

I actually remember seeing a commercial for this live show. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought it was horrific to see but my goodness I really felt bad for everyone else that saw it at the time. But other than that, Dan, Phineas and Ferb was like the Rugrats of Disney Channel. You missed out on those great times my man.

Whoever designed those costumes needs to be stopped immediately for the sake of the universe

I remember this so much man it was so weird

people need to understand that just cuz something works as a 2d drawing, it does NOT mean it'll work on a 3D/Live space... gsus this is terrifying!!

I honestly couldn’t wait for someone to cover this and I’m so glad you did lol 😂 I remember this being advertised like crazy back in the day and I even thought this was creepy as heck lol great video keep up the amazing work

As someone who admits that Phineas and Ferb is the best cartoon I’ve seen, this is just terrifying

I love how your clips and background on the desktop come from Rollercoaster the musical, my personal favorite episode. For what it's worth, as horrifying as these characters are in 3D, there are definitely weirder things in PnF canon. Also, personally offended they had they audacity to do Disco Miniature Golfing Queen without the original DMGC Stacy.

Is this going to haunt my dreams? Probably Will it be worth watching this video? Absolutely

your laughter is so contagious!

I've actually only heard of this performance like a month or 2 ago and man did I think this was creepy. I saw an iceberg video where they talked about it and that's where I first saw it (called The Phineas and Ferb iceberg explained by Book of Valis). Also, my sister and I used to absolutely love this show when we were kids!! We watched the episodes on Disney's website as well as Netflix when the episodes were on Netflix back in the day (too bad they're not now).

I remember seeing this show live when me and my sister were little and it came to our city. My sister was actually picked to go up during the intermission segment. I remember even then thinking that something was off with most of the costumes. But looking back on it now, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I WASN'T TERRIFIED OF THESE AS A KID!!!

3:34 I like the smashed plate sfx, gives it a more hilarious feel

I am so glad that someone is finally covering this 😂 I fell down these horrifying live tours with pokemon live edit: Also, I wanted to ask, I’ve seen some videos of this show circulating online, but were you able to find the full show? Also, where were these pictures from? sorry for all the questions if you ever see this!

this is even more terrifying than toy story the musical, i remember seeing the commercials for this and thinking it must've been so cool... glad i didn't go... phineas and ferb was my favorite show and this might've ruined it for me if i saw it

My random take is that they should have consulted Starkid. That group is the king of low-budget comedy musicals. I think they could have helped translate the cartoon to the stage.
