'Phineas and Ferb' was so good in helping me through many tough periods during its run. Still do get a lot of pleasure out of watching re-runs of what was, when airing, one of the few shows on the Disney Channel regularly worth watching. Admittedly the later episodes are not quite on the same level as the more creative earlier seasons, but 'Phineas and Ferb' at its weakest still managed generally to be better than a lot of animated shows recently at their best.
"Out to Launch" is another 'Phineas and Ferb' episode to have a great concept, one of the most potentially imaginative and unpredictable since "It's About Time". Anything revolving around preparing to go to space immediately intrigues me. Luckily it is not one of those that is executed in a waste of potential way. It instead lived up to it and exceeded it. It is not quite one of my favourite 'Phineas and Ferb episodes, but it is inventively done and has enough variation to avoid things being too repetitive. Many 'Phineas and Ferb' episodes get better and better with each rewatch and "Out to Launch" is one of them.
The animation is bright and colourful, with such vibrant colours that literally pop out at you and beautifully detailed backgrounds. The transitions are slick. The music is in the style that is not usually my style of choice when listening to music, but it is very catchy and pleasant to listen to. The theme song is irresistible with a melody that sticks in the head for days without being an earworm and with very quotable lyrics. Some nice visuals accompanying it too.
Furthermore, the writers clearly had a lot of fun while not forgetting who the target audience is. Lots of smart and highly amusing lines, while also with a heart. The story has energy and also a lot of warm heart and witty brains. Perry and Doofenschmirtz's subplot is not one of their best or most inspired, but is still entertaining and wonderfully nuts.
All the characters are written entertainingly and faithfully. Have no issues with the voice acting either.
In conclusion, wonderful. 10/10
