Phineas and Ferb worldwide

Since the series Phineas and Ferb reached overseas, it has been gaining popularity around the world as well as in its country of origin. It has dubs all over the world.

Canada
The series premiered on February 1, 2008 on Family Channel and on June 1, 2011 on Disney XD. It also airs on VRAK.TV in Quebec. Most episodes premiere within a short time of the original premiere. The merchandise is the same as the US varying from clothes to food. DVDs and music are released on the same dates as the United States. It now airs on Disney Channel due to Family Channel losing Disney Channel programming rights.

Hispanic America
The show debuted as a preview on December 14, 2007, and the formal premiere was on "Phineas y Ferb-rero" during February 1, 2008. The series currently airs in both international and local TV channels, a notable example is Canal 13, which has been known for airing several dubbed episodes before Disney Channel Latin America or Disney Channel USA.

The show's receptions are similar to those of the USA, being being viewed by people of all ages and having a major popularity among children and teens. The merchandise is more abundant in some countries like Mexico and Colombia, through more limited in some others. Products like plush toys, T-shirts, sweatshirts, skateboards, sticker albums and magazines are the most sold of all, along with videogames like Phineas y Ferb and Phineas y Ferb: A Través de la 2ª Dimensión, which can be found in both English and Iberian Spanish languages.

Some fans complained about the release of the first soundtrack in Latin America, due to be just a recording of the episode version songs, including voices and sound effects from the same. The second released soundtrack, Phineas y Ferb: A Través de la 1ª y 2ª Dimensión, was properly recorded, removing sound effects, along with dubbed extended versions of the songs (except for Kick it Up a Notch), and received more positive criticism. Come Home Perry was entirely recorded again for unknown reasons,but most likely due to this song being an infamous Spanish dub because of the out-of-tune singing from Memo Aponte (Phineas' Latin American voice actor).

The Hispanic-speaking fanbase is quite extensive in Latin America, and fans usually interact with each other in community websites and social networks. Several people write fanfics or create comics and share them in sites like DeviantArt or YouTube. Occasionally some fanfics are revealed to notable members of the fan community in order to be approved or commented on.

The merchandising is fairly common in Brazil, althrough sticker albums and magazines are more usual; different clothing is also sold, and similarly to Latin America, the first album was released with track taken directly from episodes, through with an English version of Gitchee Gitchee Goo as a bonus feature. Then the movie album was released also with extended songs and proper recording.

Background information

 * The French name of the show is sometimes spelled as "Phineas et Ferb" without an accent. It could be a misspelling, however.
 * In most dubs only the transcript is translated. The theme song visuals and episode titles remain in English. The series logos are created only for the website, the movie, and merchandise.
 * Phineas and Ferb Arabic, theme song visuals and title is translated on Jeem TV only.
 * In the Greek dub, even though the correct spelling is without acute, Ferb's name is sometimes spelled as "Φερμπ", and others as "Φέρμπ".
 * The Romanian logo for the movie misspells the word "and", as the name is written as "Phineas şi Ferb" (with cedilla), but officially spelled as "Phineas și Ferb" (with comma) according to the Romanian Academy standards.
 * The Hebrew dub has three logos for the series:
 * The first one is used for the series' theme song. It says "פיניאס ופרב Finias v'Frb" without the characters' silhouettes, but with Phineas and Ferb's faces in the lower left corner.
 * The second one is used for the movie. Through the logo is originally a revamped version of the regular one, in Hebrew a new design is used. Now Phineas and Ferb's silhouettes are present in the last letter of their names (Phineas' head is on the "ס" and Ferb's hair is on the "ב"). Also, unlike all the other movie logos, the Hebrew version has some white text at the bottom stating "הסרט hsrt", meaning "the film", and it appears after the "המסע אל היקום המקביל hms'e al hiqom hamaqabil" lettering.
 * The third one is used in Take Two with Phineas and Ferb. Now the silhouettes are placed in the first letter of their names ("פ"), and the design is more similar to the original one.
 * Through Disney has not made a translation for the logo in the Arabic dub, MBC 3 website has one and Jeem TV Website has another.
 * In the Icelandic, Cantonese, Chinese, and Arabic dubs Phineas and Ferb's names are localized.

 * Due to copyright issues, in Disney Channel Asia (in Malay, Thai, Cantonese and Chinese dubs), the songs are not dubbed starting from Season 2.
