Phineas and Ferb (TV Series) Meapless in Seattle (2012) User Reviews

Conquest of cuteness

When I saw the "trailer" of "Meapless in Seattle" included at the end credits of "The Chronicles of Meap", I thought that it was only a joke (Apparently, it was originally intended as such, but due the interest of the fans this was made into an actual chapter of the series.) I am so glad that this episode was finally made. It turned out to be even better than I was expecting. Personally, I think that "Meapless in Seattle" was best moments in the entire "Phineas and Ferb" series, being funny, clever and also...Incredibly cute as well.

It was interesting to see how the scenes from the trailer appear in a different context in this episode. In many ways, this is one of the most original and less predictable chapters from "Phineas and Ferb", having a storyline which is completely different to the usual formula followed by most of the chapters in this animated series.

Now, I cannot wait to see "Meap Me in St. Louis".

The parody of Sleepless in Seattle is hilarious and heart warming.

Despite the serious & comical battles, it's heart warming when Perry fixes Balloony and gives him back to Doof.

When 'Phineas and Ferb' first started to air, Disney Channel was nowhere near as good as it used to be and still isn't. Instead of the likes of the animated Disney shows of the 80s and 90s, most of it was and still is animated shows with childish humour and Disney Channel sitcoms and unfortunately it tended to not be the good ones. This continued throughout the whole of 'Phineas and Ferb's' run to the extent that this became one of the few shows airing on the Channel worth watching.

"Meapless in Seattle" has one of 'Phineas and Ferb's' most inventive concepts, one that was different for the show at this point. Execution-wise, Meatless in Seattle" is one of my favourite episodes of the show and is a favourite of many of my fellow 'Phineas and Ferb' fan friends. It is a very clever and wildly funny episode and even more imaginative than the concept indicates, containing that makes the show such a winner.

Everything comes together beautifully. The animation is still wonderfully vibrant with very rich attention to detail. The music is dynamic with the action and the theme song is insanely catchy with very clever and quotable lyrics that anybody still in school fishing for how to spend their vacation will relate to.

Furthermore, the writing is a triumph. The dialogue is sharp and intelligent, with plenty of laugh-out-loud lines and witty exchanges. The gags are many and they are beautifully timed and never less than very amusing, all without being too manic or lacking in breathing space. The concept was great and inventive on paper, the execution is even more so. "Meapless in Seattle" treats its setting with great affection and everybody involved were clearly having fun with it, the complete opposite of wasted.

Although 'Phineas and Ferb' tends to follow a formula, there is a lot of variety and imagination here in "Meapless in Seattle" that it does not feel formulaic at all. The Perry and Doofenschmirtz subplot is wonderfully nuts as per usual. Meap entertains as does the other supporting characters. The character writing and interaction are pretty much perfect. Likewise with the voice acting,

Concluding, fabulous. 10/10.
