AB TV animated series Phineas & Ferb stands out as a major icon in today’s animation shows for kids and pre-teens. The aim of this paper is to analyse the handling of gender roles in this show with the purpose of evaluating how balanced is the representation of the male and female figures. In order to do so, we will present a theoretical basis in which to situate our work by briefly referring to some ideas from classic feminism, particularly within the so-called “images-of-women school”. Next we will conduct an analysis of an episode sample from the series including a quantitative study of male and female characters; the gender-related occupational patterns; the gendered-images projected in crowd scenes; and the specific characteristics of the main characters. The extracted conclusions will establish the way in which the category gender is dealt with in this series.
