Phineas & Ferb came to an end a few years ago, and there are still no news about Milo Murphy's Law. There are plenty of fans out here who haven't had enough of Danville nonetheless, and we belong to that group. Thus we have decided to create a fanmade pilot, theorizing what these characters are doing the next summer.
What is this?
This is an unpaid fan passion project. We wish to produce an 11-minute animatic of a fanmade Phineas & Ferb episode. While we have ideas for more than just one, we don't want to commit to something big like that without seeing how one episode would turn out.
The current draft of the script is based closely on regular short Phineas & Ferb episodes. Don't expect anything too grand and exciting just yet.
The plot of this pilot follows Doofenshmirtz having returned to evil (for now) hoping it will enhance his creativity to become Professor Time (as seen in Milo Murphy's Law), Stacy helping Perry maintain his secret identity, Phineas & Ferb struggling with figuring out what to spend their first day of summer on, and Candace finding a strange package labeled "Agent P" which she is quite sure is bustable.
Requirements
Because this pilot is quite short, a lot of the roles you can audition for have very few lines. If the project expands after this production, you are welcome to continue playing your part, but auditioning for this is not a commitment to anything like that.
We'd prefer if you have decent mic quality, but it's not the end all be all. If you have a take on the character, go ahead!
As for artists, musicians, and editors, we highly appreciate your contribution. Please consider auditioning, as it is an immensely important part of the production.
Subscribe to us on youtube and follow us here for any potential future auditions and developments!
If you have any further questions, you can find us on Tumblr, TikTok, Youtube,
Twitter, or contact us on here.
We've contacted the people who have been cast. Thank you so much for all your submissions. It's meant a lot to see this much interest. You're all incredibly talented.
We're excited to share some more progress! Keep an eye out. Maybe more things will open up in the future.
The final deadline is in a couple of hours, after which we'll start casting people. We've been overwhelmed by the amount of interest the project has attracted, and we wanted to let you know, that even if you don't end up being cast, your contribution has still been incredibly important to us. Trust us when we say it's not going to be an easy choice.
If you don't end up being contacted, we encourage you to keep an eye on the project nonetheless. If it does well, it's not unlikely more opportunities will open up in the future. If not, we'd still highly appreciate an audience to follow the production.
Thank you for all your amazing contributions. We're honored to have attracted to many talented people.
Sincerely, Rafael and DD.
The deadline has been extended to January 10th for any remaining roles and to join as an artist!
We have cast voice actors for five roles so far, but have left the ones with fewer than five auditions open, so more people have the chance to audition.
Thank you so much to everyone who has auditioned so far! It's been amazing to see so much interest for the project, and there have been so many great auditions so far! We've excitedly checked every single one of them whenever a notification came up.
The deadline is currently set to the 20th of December at 12pm PST (9pm CET). Because of lack of artist auditions and some roles having fewer auditions than others, we plan to extend this deadline. However, we will likely be casting some roles on the 20th, depending on the number of auditions for them. We'll then leave the rest of them open, so more people have the chance to audition. People cast in this part of the process will get access to the discord server earlier and we might make a video announcing the cast so far.
Please keep the auditions coming and spread the word about the project to anyone who might be interested.
Sincerely, DD and Rafael (the directors)
We need several artists to make this project possible! No one should feel overwhelmed with work, and it'd be cool to show off the art of multiple fans. We plan to split the animatic into pieces where each artist will get a part to create.
Communication between the artists is important too, in order to make it all fit together at the end.
Submit an example of your art of one or more Phineas and Ferb characters, and preferably also some kind of animatic, however short. If you want a specific prompt for an animatic, you can try to make something like this:
Stacy is sitting in Candace's room next to Candace on the bed. She looks out the window, seeing Perry sneaking around outside the fence with his fedora, hurrying towards the front door without being spotted. Phineas and Ferb are rummaging through boxes in the backyard, not seeing anything. Her mouth gapes.
*Say something you think would fit*
Phineas & Ferb is full of little scores and themes. So far no big musical projects are included in this pilot, but there preferably needs to be a soundtrack to give it some life nonetheless.
We are not expecting a fully original score, but rather covers of or music inspired by the music found throughout a regular Phineas & Ferb episode.
You will have a good amount of creative freedom, depending on how far you want to take it. We might also cast more people for this part.
Please provide your own rendition of the themes included in this video. You are also welcome to show off any other work of yours you feel is relevant.
*Say something you think would fit*
We need someone with a little more editing experience than us to make sure the project flows well.
Show off some footage you've edited.

Major role
The teenage sister of Phineas & Ferb, obsessed with busting them to their mom.
"(sighs) Summer. The worst time of the year. Soon there's gonna be something big and bustable out in the backyard outside of that window, and mom will never see it."
"This is perfect! There's no way all of them will disappear, and even if they do, I still have this."
"What? But but but-"
Major role
Candace's best friend who happens to be aware that the household's pet platypus is a secret agent.
Preferably played by someone with Japanese or Asian descent.
"Look Candace, maybe you should let yourself have the first day off. Maybe just stay inside, and do something nice with me? I'm sure busting your brothers can wait a day or so."
"(quietly) Hey Perry, it's just me. Stacy. You remember me, right?"
"Hold on Candace. Uhm... If this really is Phineas' package, do you really think it'll be safe in their hands? Isn't it better to keep it inside with us? With-(faster)-out ever opening it or trying to figure out what's inside."
Minor role
The girl from across the street. Fireside girl who happens to be in love with Phineas.
"Hey Phineas. Whatcha doooooing?"
"I know what you mean! I earned so many patches last summer I had to invent new ones to earn my patch-invention patch, and those are starting to run dry."
Minor role
Unfriendly neighborhood bully.
"Hey dinnerbell, what're you nerds doing?"
Minor role
An intelligent boy in the main friend group with an interest in science, math, and getting good grades.
Preferably played by someone with Indian/South Asian descent.
"Well, if we all put our heads together, maybe we can figure something out."
"I've never seen them this inspired! There are dangerous levels of creative juices flowing everywhere. What will we do?"
"Relax, Candace, I'm on my way home with the groceries."
"There's nothing there, Candace."
"Aww, what a nice toy watch."
Minor role
Anyone can audition for this one and give whatever take they want. Only has one line in the current draft.
"Oh! You must be excited to receive your package. Do you happen to be (checks package) Agent P?"
Minor role
The not so talkative British brother of Phineas Flynn. Only has one line in the current draft of the pilot, but your input is still appreciated.
"Well, he is just a platypus. They don't do much."
Major role
A kid full of ideas wanting to make the most of each day.
"We need something special to show that this is going to be the best summer ever, while still paying tribute to the previous best summer ever!"
"Hey, where's Perry?"
"How are we supposed to make the most of our summer if we can't even decide what to do today?"
Major role
An evil scientist who's gone back to evil for now after failing to be good for too long.
"You see, Perry the Platypus. I'm sure you're wondering why I've chosen to return to the path of evil after so long on the side of good."
"Of course, this means I will also be building many inators with a powerful potential for pure evil, buuuuut I'm sure it'll be fine."
"Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"
"Good morning Agent P."
"We need you to check it out and stop him if any evil deeds, or failed good ones, are in the works."
"We wouldn't want them to get suspicious, or you'll have to be moved to another host family."
*Your best platypus noise*
