"Out of Toon" is an episode of Phineas and Ferb.
Synopsis[]
Phineas and Ferb are inspired by their dad's favorite kids show to create a cartoon with super-powered versions of themselves and their friends. Doofenshmirtz creates a machine that causes people to dance uncontrollably.
Plot[]
Phineas and Ferb are watching their dad's favorite childhood television show with him, The Pinhead Pierre Show! One of the cartoons shown on Pinhead Pierre is "Captain Implausible", about a superhero who has "all the super powers." After the cartoon is over, Pinhead Pierre asks the audience, "If you could have one super power, what would it be?" Phineas knows what they're going to do today!
Perry disappears into the backyard and a hole opens in the ground and takes him down a chute into his lair. Major Monogram shows Agent P a copy of Evil Beat! magazine, explaining that good and evil have been locked in a desperate race to harness the limitless power of dance for the last century. Doofenshmirtz has created a ray that causes people to dance uncontrollably. Major Monogram goes on to warn him that no one has ever defeated evil while dancing and wishes him luck.
Candace follows the boys inside and Phineas shows her Phineas & Ferb Studios, where the magic happens. With the PF 5000 Animatron, all one has to do is tell the machine what you want. Phineas says that he wants to have the power to be everywhere at once and be called Multi Man. He grabs Ferb and holds him up to be scanned, saying that Ferb wants to have a utility belt and use lots of gadgets; his name is Ferb Guy. Inadvertently, Candace tells the machine she wants super mind control, telepathy, and telekinesis and that she wants to be a villain. Phineas names her Control Freak.
The PF 5000 Animatron then sends the specifications through a series of other machinery that mimics the typical work done by production personnel on a cartoon series. Candace gets fed up and leaves, but Isabella, Buford and Baljeet come by to see what Phineas and Ferb are up to.
The friends go inside the studio, and Ferb demonstrates to them how sounds in cartoons used to be made by balloons. On Baljeet's suggestion, Phineas asks them what super powers they want. Isabella chooses to harness the power of rainbows, unicorns, and sweetness to defend all that is good and just. Her name will be The Rainbow. Buford takes some time to ponder it existentially and comes up with Belch Man, who fights crime with different types of burps. Since Isabella took his, Baljeet chooses Hanuman Man, a flying blue monkey inspired by a character from Indian folklore (apparently due to Baljeet being Hindu) that can grow as big as it wants and crush its enemies.
At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Doofenshmirtz is working out 80s style. Perry the Platypus lowers himself down through a skylight into Doofenshmirtz's workout room and the evil scientist traps him using one of his leg warmers. Doofenshmirtz realizes Agent P must have seen this month's Evil Beat! magazine and begins revealing his plan.
Abruptly, Perry escapes from his bonds and strikes Doofenshmirtz. They both crash through the giant magazine cover facsimile Doofenshmirtz had printed up and inadvertently fire the dance ray. It zaps both of them and they begin to dance with each other.
Meanwhile, back in Phineas and Ferb's backyard, people are lined up outside the fence and sitting on benches getting ready for the premiere of Team Improbable. Phineas and Ferb come on stage to introduce their cartoon creation in a Pinhead Pierre lookalike costume.
After the theme song and title sequence, Candace calls her mom. It goes to voice-mail. The outgoing message asks for Candace to "leave [her] psychotic rant after the beep." Candace begins explaining all about what's happening when she realizes what the outgoing message says and get a little irritated. Just then, a boy in the audience recognizes her as the Control Freak from the cartoon.
Heartbroken that they made her the villain in their show, Candace complains to Phineas that everybody hates her. He tries to explain that she's the star of the show and that the crowd loves her. Even Ferb agrees with him. Feeling a little better, Candace sticks her head out the curtain to look back out at the crowd, only to be teased again by the tomatoes.
Back at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus are still dancing together. Doofenshmirtz kicks Agent P into the dance ray and sets it off again. Perry turns it so that it hits a mirror and the ray bounces back towards the ray projector, making it start to dance as well.
In the backyard, the cartoon is almost over. Buford announces that they've made a killing on admission. Phineas is confused because they weren't charging admission. Buford becomes a bit sheepish and hides the money box behind his back. They all head out on stage to take a bow. Despite people still mocking Candace.
At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Doofenshmirtz is dancing the Macarena, but Perry and the dance ray are doing a conga line. He congas the dance ray right off the side of the building, thus defeating evil by dancing. It hurtles to the ground below and fires off one last shot towards Phineas and Ferb Studios and the crowd assembled to watch the premiere. The studio and screen get up and start dancing away, along with the crowd, making Candace stare at it in horror. And when her mom comes back and asks "Now where's this giant animation studio?" Candace replies "It got up and it danced away" in a forlorn voice "It what?" asks Mom again "It got up and it danced away" said Candace rather angrily "It got up and it danced away" said her mother still not believing her "See? It even sounds crazy when you say it." says Candace as she walks away sadly to her room.

Songs[]
Goofs[]
- Lawrence states that Pinhead Pierre is a show he watched when he was a "lad" and that, "..they don't make it anymore..", but several present day kids are seen in the recording he's referring to.
- When Phineas is asking who Captain Implausible is, Lawrence's arm is behind the couch. When Lawrence explains it to him, his arm is behind Phineas' head.
- Pinhead Pierre keeps talking for a second after Lawrence pauses the tape.
- When Doofenshmirtz was exercising, his sleeveless shirt was green. The sleeveless shirt turned black when Doofenshmirtz was put on his lab coat.
- At one point in one of the crowd shots, the girl next to Django has her hair passing through the seat behind her.
- Before Phineas' "pants" fall down, the spots on his shirt turn black.
- At the end of the cartoon when Control Freak/Candace is defeated, Multi-Man/Phineas's anime-style eye has turned into a traditional Phineas and Ferb eye.
- Despite the fact that The Gang recorded dialogue for their characters, Control Freak is the only one to have lines in the show. Candace is also not seen recording her dialogue. But then again, one of The Gang members could have recorded their dialogue for Control Freak and their voice in the recording was edited to sound just like Candace or Candace did actually record dialogue for the Control Freak off-screen and the dialogue The Gang recorded for the characters could have been edited out in the final version of the cartoon also off-screen.
- When the cartoon is playing, it is night time, but when it goes to Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc., it is still morning until the cartoon ends.
- When the Control Freak shouts "Oh you'll never get away with this!", her mouth is missing for one frame.
- Oddly, Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus stop dancing after the dance ray tumbles over the side of the building and before it hits the cement below.
- The credits of this episode do not list the episodes "Out of Toon" and "Hail Doofania!". Instead, they say "Rollercoaster" and "Lawn Gnome Beach Party Of Terror". The credits of this episode were borrowed from the first episode and not altered.
- The television screen dances away, but the studio does not. Therefore, Linda should've seen it.
- Adyson wears a sleeve shirt instead of her usual sleeveless shirt. Also, Ginger does not wear any shoes.
- On Sky TV, in the information box, Candace's name was misspelled as Candice.
Trivia[]
- Pedro, one of the shows well known extras, has his first speaking role in this episode since the pilot.
- The aliens in the Captain Implausible cartoon are speaking some of the nonsense lyrics from Gitchee Gitchee Goo ("Bow chicka bow wow", "chicka chicka choo wop") ("Flop Starz").
- The "Groucho glasses" appear again, this time in giant form ("Flop Starz").
- The song played while Phineas talks about the creation of the cartoon is later heard in "Gaming the System".
- The fish shown writing the episode's story looks similar to Buford's goldfish, Biff ("Voyage to the Bottom of Buford").
- Part of the Team Improbable theme is the same background music as Phineas and the gang start going after Candace in "Bowl-R-Ama Drama".
- Second time Candace is being recognized as a show character ("Lights, Candace, Action!").
- First episode where Isabella expresses annoyance when anyone (except for Phineas) imitates her catchphrase.
- Second time Isabella is interested in horses ("The Magnificent Few").
- Doofenshmirtz breaks the fourth wall in this episode, when he tells the audience that "to add insult to injury, the platypus (Perry) is leading" a dance.
- If you count Candace as Control Freak growing to 50 feet tall, this may technically be the first time Candace changes size in the series. If not, then ("Attack of the 50 Foot Sister") would be the first time she changes size.
- It's ironic that Candace's animated counterpart, the Control Freak, not only growing to be 50 feet tall in this episode, but possibly predicting an event from ("Attack of the 50 Foot Sister"), where Candace actually grew to be 50 feet tall in that episode instead of it being a cartoon that Phineas and Ferb made such as Team Improbable. And plus probably making this the first time she is shown growing gigantic.
