About Disney’s “Phineas and Ferb”

Created by Emmy Award-winning Dan Povenmire (”Family Guy”) and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh (”The Simpsons” and “Rocko’s Modern Life”), this stand-out comedy series follows Phineas Flynn and his stepbrother, Ferb Fletcher, as they set out to optimize every day of their 104-day summer vacation, dreaming the impossible dream — and then doing it, including building a rollercoaster or a beach in their own backyard.  Unbeknownst to them, their pet platypus Perry has a double life as suave secret Agent P, deftly battling the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz to save the world.  Meanwhile, older sister Candace is aghast at her brothers’ antics and makes it her life’s work to tattle on them to Mom and Dad, though somehow she can never seem to catch them red-handed.

Renowned for its sophisticated and good-natured humour, clever songs and noteworthy guest stars, “Phineas and Ferb” is a fan favourite in every major territory.  It airs on Disney Channels and Disney XD channels in more than 168 countries and in 34 languages, reaching more than 279 million unduplicated Total Viewers worldwide.

With a 100 episodes and counting, a live action/animated talk show and an upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie, the success of “Phineas and Ferb” has created demand for extensions of it and opportunities for other Disney divisions including Walt Disney Records, Disney Consumer Products (action figures, apparel, accessories, grocery and health and beauty items), Disney Publishing (books, comics), Disney Interactive Studios (Nintendo DS and Wii games) and Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (DVDs).

About Paquin Entertainment Group

Paquin Entertainment Group is one of Canada’s premier entertainment companies with offices operating out of Winnipeg and Toronto. While artist management and concert promotion spurred the beginning of the business, Founder/CEO Gilles Paquin’s vision was infinite. Today, he continues to push the Company to expand, evolve and diversify. Paquin Entertainment Group’s portfolio holds over 25 years of global experience ranging from agency, artist management, corporate consulting and theatre/film.

Striving to not only support the arts, but also create art, Koba Entertainment was established in 2004 and in six years it has become the leading producer of family musical productions. At the creative helm of Koba Entertainment is Producing Artistic Director Patti Caplette. The Company’s live theatrical spectacles have captivated audiences around the world in over 165 North American cities, 6 countries and 3 continents.

Paquin Entertainment Group remains deeply focused on artist representation. Its agency division, led by President Julien Paquin, proudly represents over 150 artists including Randy Bachman, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Bachman & Turner, K’NAAN, Tegan & Sara, Serena Ryder, Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Classic Albums Live, Bowfire, as well as family favourites such as The Backyardigans, Max & Ruby and Toopy & Binoo.
