Phineas and Ferb, he says, is вЂњpacing very well compared to the arc that SpongeBob traveled in its evolution.вЂќ вЂњWe look at where Phineas is in its life cycle compared to where SpongeBob was,вЂќ admits Gary, who looks to both ratings and off-TV activity as barometers of success. Is Phineas and Ferb the next SpongeBob? In SpongeBobвЂs 11-year run so far, the man from the pineapple under the sea has set a high bar (see box, right), including selling $8 billion in retail merchandise. вЂњThis is completely out of the box,вЂќ says Steven Ekstract, publisher of License! Global. But it is heavily promoting this offbeat show, because the merchandising potential seems huge. Disney Consumer Products, a $2.4 billion division, typically pushes established brand families such as Disney Princesses or PixarвЂ™s Toy Story franchise. It has also shown Disney new ways to create original, humorous animation - a highly lucrative arena where your stars never grow up enough to produce a lap-dance video.Д«ut for all of the creative ferment Phineas and Ferb has inspired within Disney, вЂњif thereвЂ™s an upside to a show, itвЂ™s because weвЂ™re able to exploit it off TV,вЂќ says Gary Marsh (no relation to Swampy), president of entertainment and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide.

The only scenario more unlikely may be the one in which this decidedly quirky cartoon - kiddie MythBusters meets sitcom-sibling hijinks meets classic spy spoof - becomes such a hit for Disney that the company is now trying to turn it into a SpongeBob SquarePants - like cash machine. As Newton gave his own spin to lyrics like вЂњHeвЂ™s a furry little flatfoot whoвЂ™ll never flinch from a frayвЂќ and dancers and actors, dressed like the showвЂ™s characters, circled Newton on stage, Povenmire thought, This has to be the most surreal moment of my life. Las Vegas himself started belting out the theme song for the programвЂ™s Perry the Platypus character at last JuneвЂ™s 2010 Licensing International Expo in Vegas. What better way for a company to say danke schГ¶n to its rising-star creatives than hiring Wayne Newton and a bevy of feather-plumed showgirls to help express its feelings?
