| "Great idea, Ferb! We'll turn our house into a funhouse by, you know, adding fun." — Phineas[src] |
The funhouse is an amusement facility built by Phineas and Ferb as a way of turning their residence into a fun place.
History[]
Phineas wonders about the possibilities of adding fun to a mundane environment. Using a piece of paper, Ferb suggests applying this thought process to their house, transforming it into a funhouse. Some time after, the boys receive the necessary items for their project, and begin to correlate them with their blueprint. The brothers' friends soon join the construction, doing the final touches on each room.
Later, Candace returns to the house from the big pet wash with Jeremy, being sucked inside as she opens the door. To her disdain and her boyfriend's delight, Candace starts to traverse through the funhouse with Jeremy, parallel to Phineas, Ferb, and friends, who are enjoying their creation for themselves. Once she reaches the end, she calls out for her mom to check the inside of the house, only to end up being hit by an external ray, causing her to clean everything up ("Misperceived Monotreme").
Design[]
The funhouse is a modified version of the Flynn-Fletcher house, incorporating many rooms found in the regular facilities in its architecture. These implementations are possible thanks to the residence's structure, which enables its inner walls to be appropriated into extra compartments, thus maximizing the amount of attractions. The aesthetic of the place consists mainly of rainbow neon-like colors complemented by an optical illusion theme, enhancing its primary aspect of fun.
Activities[]
Attractions in the funhouse include an escalator tube entrance, a clown room, a hall of heart cookies, a rotating basement, a hairy chair, an orbit falling simulator, a multiperspective pillar corridor, a colorful scrambled angle area, a checker-patterned bathroom-bed space, a tilting living room, an illusory spinner, a roundabout door chamber, a gravity changer, a revolving cylinder, a slider section, a distorting mirror array, psychedelic-esque sectors, a ballpit, an extravagant dumpster, and a funnel exit.
Background Information[]
- Examples given by Phineas on how adding fun to an item automatically improves its enjoyability are fun shoes, fun oatmeal, and fun origami. He quickly discards the latter, citing that paper folding is already a cool activity.
- The boys get their material for the funhouse from the Foley Freight company, which had delivered to the Danville Zoo earlier that day, as pointed out by Phineas.
- Among the items received, there are mirrors, a clown head, a balloon pump, a bullseye target, a top hat chicken, pink and blue slide parts, a jack-in-the-box crate, a mini yellow sled, a pot, and other decorations.
- According to the boys' blueprint, there is supposed to be a liquid nitrogen room. Considering the substance's use, this is likely conceived to be a cryogenics chamber.
- Isabella states that she has to double the recipe for the sweets department, a technique most frequently applied in baking that involves altering the proportion of the ingredients to boost the food production.
- Perry enters the house upon coming back from the pet wash, getting himself stuck in a loop within the door hallway.
- The Giant Floating Baby Head is part of the bathroom-bed space, as shown and described by the musical number.
- In the gravity-altering environment, Phineas and Ferb lift weights marked 1,000 pounds, despite this feat being compared to a weightlifter raising up a ton feather. Combined, the two are indeed carrying a total of one short ton (2000 lbs; 907.2 kg).
- As he passes by the second to last mirror of the distortion hall, Baljeet sees an odd-looking version of him. When he checks it again, a long neck image of him is shown instead.
- While Candace cleans up the funhouse, its song is played in reverse, referring to her act of reverting the residence back to normal.
