What does it take to create a HIT Disney Show? | Would You Believe...? Podcast 

I love that he acknowledges DisneyXD was where content went to die 💀

Phineas and Ferb literally drew my wife out of depression a few years before we started dating. That's why we named our oldest child Phineas.

Dan lost his friend and fellow Cartoon Creator , Steven Hillenberg in 2018. I consider the two the two great Cartoon Createrd of all time

I've been watching cartoons for 50yrs and P & F is BY FAR the best there is! I've often said that if I had a choice, it would've been the only show my kids would watch. It's just so good! Love Dan!

I'm not crying, you're crying 😭 Love Dans work. Still watch/listen to Phineas and Ferb

I was just watching Phineas and Ferb! It’s my favorite show and I’ve been watching it for years! Dan blessed us with that gem!

My son was an infant when Phineas and Ferb was popular and he LOVED the opening song. There was once a 2 hour road trip when we just had to keep playing the song on repeat or he would scream. I have a picture of him in his baby swing with the P&F stuffed animals and a onesie I had made him with Perry on it.

Dan Povenmire did NOT create the Minions. He’s too nice to plague humanity like that

This was a great interview! I loved the variety of it. Laughter, great info, heart warming, etc. More like this please!

im not sure if dan will see any of these comments but i have almost every phineas and ferb song on my everyday playlist and i can sing them all word for word. the songs are so good im able to relate them to my life still as a 21 year old. carpe diem has such a great message, and i love quoting the words from "busted" when im talking about exposing ANYBODY i just love how broad, but also specific the songs are and i didnt know dan created them all!!! phineas and ferb was a huge moment for me and my brothers. it was a way for us to bond, there was such a big age gap between us and it was THE ONLY show that we had in common and could both enjoy.

I'm a (34f) my husband and his dad have about 20 inside jokes within this show. And about 10 from Montey python films... to me .... this show is soo wholesome, and amazing that adults/kids years ago still love it!

Of all the crossovers i never expected, this one i expected the least. But sure am glad for it

44:50 can confirm. I met MY hero Steve from Blue’s Clues this year and he was great.

If I could ask Dan one question it would be, “Is it a coincidence or intentional that the Perry the Platypus theme sounds similar to the song Secret Agent Man? Because ever since I heard the comparison I can’t stop thinking about it!”

Dan was responsible for one of the funniest jokes that has never failed to make me laugh. "Yours may have laser eyes, but mine breathes faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooowwwwwwwwww ... that was a stupid design" Thank you Dan

my 7 year old started to sing the doofensmiertz jingle when she saw Dan. I was in college when Phineas and Ferb was on but I loved it and still do I'm a mom and I was excited to show it to my daugher.

As a 51 yr old mom of 3, I have to say how much I LOVE Phineas and Ferb. My two oldest grew up with that show so when my little surprise showed up when I was 43, I knew that would be one of the shows I needed to make sure she saw, and she loves it! (Almost as much as I do) I'm excited to watch the new episodes when they come out! My daughters will be thrilled!!

Thank you Dan for creating the Minions. You have done a great service to the world

I loved the story about his teacher and the advice he gave at the end. I also wonder if Phineas and Ferb's epic parties were inspired by Dan's epic parties! 🎉🎈 😆

Mr Mitchell inadvertently changed the entire world for the better

With the story about his teacher, this is reminder to be kind, people.

Awwww.... I love his teacher story so much! Full circle for Rebecca. I wrote a letter to my high school English teacher once. She made a huge difference in my confidence in my writing ability. This was so awesome!

I'm only a few years younger than Dan, so P&F wasn't part of my childhood, but it was part of my kids'. It wasn't a show I would put up with because they wanted to watch it, like most cartoons; it was the show that we all wanted to watch! Thank goodness for Mr. Mitchell's encouragement of young Povenmire!

Wow you got the creator of the minions to be in your podcast!

Good job remembering to thank Dan for creating the Minions. We must never forget to do this.

I’ll never understand Disney’s dumb decision to lock all their good animated shows to XD while all the sitcoms got to run on the main channel

Dan and Swampy gave so many of use insperetion and hope to be the best version of outselfs, to make friends and to have fun, Phineas and Ferb was my favorite show growing up, so thank you Dan 😊

I love what Dan said at the end it really speaks to me cause one day I was talking to my dad and he told me all his life he always had the mentality of you have to go into a career where you make as much money as possible and it wasn’t till recently that his point of changed and he came to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what your career is as long as your happy then that’s all that matters

I'm really surprised you guys didn't talk about the strikes and how hard it is to make a real career in entertainment now... Maybe Dan just isn't so clued into that because he's one of the lucky successful few. But it did strike me when he said he had to work crazy hours. Exploited professions like that are something you'd normally talk about, Rebecca.

Perry the inspirational teacher and community leader

Dan's so true about being up to date about solo-breakouts on TikTok-a content creator I watch pretty often (on ShortOneGaming) talked about how he was actually recruited by Dan to work on the Hamster & Gretel from his songs he posted on TikTok!

I love that Rebecca and Dan are friends!! 😁

Only reason I don't have a criminal record right now is because 1 teacher of 35-40 teachers I have had in my whole life said, "You know, kid. you will do alright in life." I was on a verge of making a decision that would have lead down a criminal path real quick. That day I decided to stop, even if it meant that I would be restlessly bullied for losing my protection. Somehow, her word made me want to go straight. 17 years later... I have a decent life. It would have been worse but I just wanted to prove her right for putting faith in me when no one did.

I am so happy you made this video, like Dan I have been wanting to do film since I started middle school, I am on the news crew and I love writing the skits and jokes and making silly videos with random props and doing the daily broadcast! I film things and edit them for the schools' youtube page and it really is enjoyable for me! I am a theater kid so of course I love acting and being in the spotlight! It truly is my calling! Thank you for this! I wont give up on my dreams

Less than a minute in, and Rebeca proves to be in the fandom lmao 🤣

My family would have phineas and ferb on loop in our house for several summers, as it was the one show we could all enjoy. Thank you so much Dan for creating such a beloved show and characters that has become another language for my sisters and I to communicate in. That show got me through a lot of hard times ❤

I love Dan Povenmire. The creator of the minions! Lol

I love your videos and content!! Keep up the great work!! Love the channel!!

he was in a bad apple video!!!

love this new series! can't wait for more!

WHAT A CRAZY CROSSOVER OF 2 WORLDS??

I watched the Shipoopi sequence for Family guy and that was pretty good.

That is amazing advice doing something you love doesn't matter the money it will always be enough thank you so much for this podcast and having him on your podcast

Two of my favorites together? Hooray!

That story of Mr Mitchel gave me goosebumps! What an amazing story!

I’m ready for this one!

Hey Rebecca: I listened to your interview and searched RU-vid for music from that band you mentioned. I found some, and it is great! A real hidden gem. Thanks. I'm Candian, so I realize how big "the Bare Naked Ladies" were in their time. They started on their own too.

I loved Rockos Modern Life! It was so cooky and crazy and luckily the adult jokes went way over my head until i was old enough to understand them! 😂 So many shows were like that back then and left fun memories for me as a kid and as an adult!

Dan is amazing! Would love to hear songs his band did back in the day.

Great interview with Dan.

27:38 Nothing sweeter than when a man gets emotional over his wife and kids.

You got Dan on!!!

The Disneyland story got me tearing up.

I watched the "Summer Belongs to You," video and that was pretty good. I don't think I have ever seen that before.

This was a beautiful reminder to praise people when you can, encourage dreams and talents and speak your love while you are able. ❤

I once embarrassed Vince Martella who plays Phineas when I reminded him he’s now in his 30s on the bird app

❤❤

I still hope Milo Murthy’s law gets a revival/another shot some day.

Did you guys know, the girl who plays Vanessa was the little boys love interest in LOVE ACTUALLY?

Wowzers, he’s a talker huh!? 😂 took him 19min to answer your first question 🤣

7:03 where I left off future me

A pladipus? PERRY THE PLADIPUS!!! HES A SEMIAQUATIC EGG LAYING MAMMLE OF ACTION IFKYK and we can be besties Every like = 1 self destruct button

The way he has to act like Olivia Olson’s dad wasn’t pushing for any way possible to get his daughter’s singing voice heard is kinda funny. Yeah no duh she wasn’t supposed to be that character! But daddy wasn’t saying yes to any that didn’t have prominent songs.

One minute ago!!! Oh snap!!! I’m early?! number #2

The school nurse has helped me and consolidated me when I was in a vary bad mental place and I don’t know what I would do without her🥹
