Buut... The animation just looks... :shrugs:
I'm not sure that's the kind of inner child we're talking about...

The animation is very stylized. Stylization, is in fact more sophisticated and more ideal for a TV budget. Stylization is an elimination of non-essential visuals to promote the message of the artist in a more efficient manner, in this case the message being story, plot, character, music and a specific type of humor. In addition, stylization creates a unique visual not seen anywhere else.

I love this show... started watching it with the little kids I used to babysit, who really liked the show. Because of that I've always had a special place in my heart for Perry the Platypus and Doofenschmirtz Evil Incorporated!

I like the silliness, and Phineas and Ferb's imagination. If it was just Phineas and Ferb (no platypus or Doofenschmirtz) it'd be a bit of a boring show, but it's very <3.

I saw the Christmas special. 'Twas awesome. I choked up when Santa read Phineas's letter. Phineas, you are awesome. Almost as awesome as Perry. :yes:

I saw the Christmas special two days ago--it waz AWESOME. The songs made it all the best, and I liked the running gag about the clubhouse. The Christmas-ized opening theme was one of my favorites.

Santa doesn't need operatives. Proof.

Note the operative "almost." None can hope to be as beastly and awesome as Perry the Platypus. :noway:

its a great show, maybe not one I would particularly want to watch, but it definitely beats some the shows out there geared for kids, way better than spongebob
