In the show Phineas and Ferb (2007-2015), Phineas lives in a blended family with his older sister Candace and his step-brother Ferb and his stepfather Lawrence.

Phineas and Candice's biological father(s) is/are never named or shown on screen.

OR ARE THEY?

The identity of Candice's father remains uncertain but sharp-eyed viewers might have picked up certain clues as to the identity of Phineas's father.

Phineas's biological father is of course none other than Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz!

Consider these facts:

1) Dr. Doofenshmirtz has canonically dated Phineas's mom

2) Both Phineas and Dr. Doofenshmirtz have triangular heads capped with tufts of hair

3) Both Phineas and Doofenshmirtz are brilliant inventors

4) In the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars episode, Phineas is placed in the role of a Luke Skywalker analog. Who is Dr. Doofenshmirtz? None other than a Darth Vader analog. Spoiler alert: Darth Vader is Luke's father in Star Wars!

The creators have as much as told us that Doofenshmirtz is Phineas's dad, and now that you know the show's dark secret, your world will never be the same!

This would explain a lot about the ending of Pokemon: The First Movie (which I believe was released as Pokemon: Doki Doki Panic in the original Japanese)

I like the one where somebody thought Adventure Time being Finn's dying hallucination was somehow darker than nuclear war erasing mankind a thousand years ago and mutants now ruling the remains.

Chaplin again vocalised his political views in Monsieur Verdoux, criticising capitalism and arguing that the world encourages mass killing through wars and weapons of mass destruction. Because of this, the film met with controversy when it was released in April 1947; Chaplin was booed at the premiere, and there were calls for a boycott. Monsieur Verdoux was the first Chaplin release that failed both critically and commercially in the United States. It was more successful abroad, and Chaplin's screenplay was nominated at the Academy Awards. He was proud of the film, writing in his autobiography, "Monsieur Verdoux is the cleverest and most brilliant film I have yet made."

The negative reaction to Monsieur Verdoux was largely the result of changes in Chaplin's public image. Along with damage of the Joan Barry scandal, he was publicly accused of being a communist. His political activity had heightened during World War II, when he campaigned for the opening of a Second Front to help the Soviet Union and supported various Soviet–American friendship groups. He was also friendly with several suspected communists, and attended functions given by Soviet diplomats in Los Angeles. In the political climate of 1940s America, such activities meant Chaplin was considered, as Larcher writes, "dangerously progressive and amoral". The FBI wanted him out of the country, and launched an official investigation in early 1947.

Chaplin denied being a communist, instead calling himself a "peacemonger", but felt the government's effort to suppress the ideology was an unacceptable infringement of civil liberties. Unwilling to be quiet about the issue, he openly protested against the trials of Communist Party members and the activities of the House Un-American Activities Committee.[283] Chaplin received a subpoena to appear before HUAC but was not called to testify. As his activities were widely reported in the press, and Cold War fears grew, questions were raised over his failure to take American citizenship. Calls were made for him to be deported; in one extreme and widely published example, Representative John E. Rankin, who helped establish HUAC, told Congress in June 1947: "[Chaplin's] very life in Hollywood is detrimental to the moral fabric of America. [If he is deported] ... his loathsome pictures can be kept from before the eyes of the American youth. He should be deported and gotten rid of at once."

In 2003, declassified British archives belonging to the British Foreign Office revealed that George Orwell secretly accused Chaplin of being a secret communist and a friend of the USSR. Chaplin's name was one of 35 Orwell gave to the Information Research Department (IRD), a secret British Cold War propaganda department which worked closely with the CIA, according to a 1949 document known as Orwell's list. Chaplin was not the only actor in America Orwell accused of being a secret communist. He also described American civil-rights leader and actor Paul Robeson as being "anti-white".

Chaplin decided to hold the world premiere of Limelight in London, since it was the setting of the film. As he left Los Angeles, he expressed a premonition that he would not be returning. At New York, he boarded the RMS Queen Elizabeth with his family on 18 September 1952. The next day, United States Attorney General James P. McGranery revoked Chaplin's re-entry permit and stated that he would have to submit to an interview concerning his political views and moral behaviour to re-enter the US. Although McGranery told the press that he had "a pretty good case against Chaplin", Maland has concluded, on the basis of the FBI files that were released in the 1980s, that the US government had no real evidence to prevent Chaplin's re-entry. It is likely that he would have gained entry if he had applied for it.[298] However, when Chaplin received a cablegram informing him of the news, he privately decided to cut his ties with the United States.

Chaplin did not attempt to return to the United States after his re-entry permit was revoked.
