The untitled Dan Povenmire/Jeff "Swampy" Marsh shared universe is a media franchise and shared universe centering on a series of projects developed by Dan Povenmire and/or Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. Produced by Disney Television Animation, the franchise started with the animated series Phineas and Ferb, which aired from 2007 to 2015. The series was followed by Milo Murphy's Law (2016-2019) and Hamster and Gretel (2022-present), both of which center on a new cast of characters while also establishing the shared universe via connected elements and characters.
In addition to the television series, two Phineas and Ferb films were released in 2011 and 2020. Videogames based on Phineas and Ferb were also released, as well as a stand-alone special. Soundtracks for each series and film were also released.
Television series
[edit]Phineas and Ferb (2007-15)
[edit]Two young brothers spent their summer vacations creating inventions to have fun, while their sister tries to expose them to their mother and their secret agent pet fights an evil scientist.
The series started development on 1993, with creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh spending the following 14-16 years pitching the series to multiple networks, and The Walt Disney Company eventually asking Povenmire and Marsh to provide a pilot for them.[1][2][3] After developing a storyboard reel, dubbed over by Povenmire, Phineas and Ferb was greenlight for a 26-episode season on Disney Channel.[3] The series lasted 4 seasons, and eventually ended on June 12, 2015.
The fourth season episode "Tales From the Resistance: Back to the 2nd Dimension" serves as a sequel to the film Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension, with most of the cast reprising their roles from the film as the alternate universe's counterparts of their regular roles.[4]
Milo Murphy's Law (2016-19)
[edit]Milo Murphy experiences life with Murphy's Law, which dictates that everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
The series was first announced in May 2015, under the name Mikey Murphy's Law,[5] before receiving its final name by February 2016.[6] Its first season aired from October 2016 to December 2017, while its second season aired from January 2019 to May 2019. Most of the crew from Phineas and Ferb, including Povenmire and Marsh, returned for the series[6]. While the series is currently in hiatus and its crew moved on to other projects, Povenmire has indicated a third season could be greenlight if the series receives enough views on Disney+.[7][8]
The series takes place shortly after the ending of Phineas and Ferb,[9] and features several nods to the series through its first season, culminating in season 2 crossover episode titled "The Phineas and Ferb Effect".[10] Most of the cast reprised their roles for the episode, aside from Thomas Sangster, who was replaced by David Errigo Jr. due to scheduling conflicts.[11] Following the crossover, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, Perry the Platypus, Major Monogram, and Carl became prominent characters for the reminder of the series.
Hamster and Gretel (2022-present)
[edit]A young girl named Gretel and her hamster pet become superheroes with help from Gretel's brother, Kevin, after being given powers by an alien spaceship.
Development on Hamster & Gretel began by 2020, with Povenmire as showrunner, having developed the series' concept during work on Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe (2020).[12] Joanna Hausmann was hired as head writer by September 2021.[13] Povenmire modeled Kevin and Gretel's relationship on his relationship with his sister.[14] Kevin and Gretel are from Venuezelan heritage, which was inspired by both Povenmire's wife and Haunsmann being Venezuelan.[15] Unlike previous projects, Marsh was not involved in a creative capacity due to him developing projects of his own througth his own studio.[16]
The series is set in another city outside of Danville, unlike previous entries.[17] Characters from Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law make cameos throughout the series.[18]
Upcoming projects
[edit]Untitled Phineas and Ferb revival
[edit]A revival of Phineas and Ferb was announced in January 2023, as a part of Dan Povenmire's overrall production deal with Disney.[19] Marsh is currently on talks to return as executive-producer.[19]

[edit]Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe
[edit]Phineas and Ferb must travel to space after Candace is kidnapped by aliens, but she becomes tempted to stay with them due to their respectful treatment if her, not knowing the true reason of her arrival.
The film entered development by 2019, after Povenmire and Marsh were approached by Disney+ to develop a Phineas and Ferb film for the streaming service.[21] The storyline was conceived by the writers because they wanted to develop a rescue story centering on Candace, which wasn't explored in the series.[22][23] Bob Bowen directed the film,[24] with Povenmire and Marsh serving as executive-producers. The film was produced remotely after Disney Television Animation was temporarily closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[25]
Most of the cast of Phineas and Ferb reprised their roles for the film, while David Errigo Jr. and Bowen reprised their roles as Ferb and Trucker Ted from Milo Murphy's Law.[26][27] The song "Chop Away at My Heart" from Milo Murphy's Law was also included in the film as a gag.[28]

Phineas scavenges for spare parts for the roller coaster while Ferb fixes various objects around town, gaining access to new areas as a result. Ferb can also construct new parts of the coaster and its vehicle-themed carts. Each activity features a short mini-game.[29][30]The game was well-received and garners a 76.67% on GameRankings. [31]

It received average-to-positive reviews.[32]
