Phineas and Ferb

Audience emotional responses for Phineas and Ferb (2007) are overwhelmingly positive and lighthearted, reflecting its nature as an animated short. Humor is the dominant emotion, driven by the comedic antics of Candace's futile attempts to bust her brothers and Dr. Doofenshmirtz's incompetent evil schemes. Joy and Happiness are consistently high, mirroring the upbeat tone and the brothers' boundless enthusiasm for their creative inventions. Excitement and Anticipation stem from the reveal of each new, imaginative project and the low-stakes action sequences involving Perry the Platypus. Satisfaction and Relief are felt as the inventions are successfully completed and then mysteriously disappear just before Candace can expose them, and as Perry inevitably thwarts Doof's plans. Surprise and Curiosity are also present due to the unexpected nature of the inventions and their convenient vanishing acts.
