Povenmire was born in San Diego, California on September 18, 1963, and grew up in the city of Mobile, Alabama. A child prodigy, he began drawing at age two; by the time he was ten, his work was displayed in local art shows. His first efforts in animation included a series of flip books that he produced in his school text books. As a child, Povenmire considered animator Chuck Jones his hero; in a 2009 interview, he stated that "every drawing he [Jones] did was beautiful to look at and had so much energy in it".

In 1993, Povenmire and Marsh conceived the series Phineas and Ferb, based on their similar experiences of childhood summers spent outdoors. Povenmire spent 14-16 years pitching Phineas and Ferb to several networks. Most rejected it as unfeasible for the complexity of its plots, but Povenmire persevered, later observing "It was really the show we wanted to see: if this was on the air, I'd watch it, and I don't always feel that about every show I work on." Even the Walt Disney Company initially rejected Povenmire's pitch, but asked to keep the proposal packet: "Usually that means they throw it in the trash later," Povenmire recalled. Eventually Disney called Povenmire back with an acceptance, on the condition that he would produce an 11-minute pilot. He called Marsh, who was living in England, to ask him if he would like to work on the pilot; Marsh accepted immediately and moved back to the United States.  Instead of a conventional script, the pair pitched the pilot by recording reels of its storyboard, which Povenmire then mixed and dubbed to produce action and vocals. The network approved the show for a 26-episode season. Povenmire left Family Guy to create the series.  Povenmire and Marsh wanted to incorporate into Phineas and Ferb the kind of humor they had developed in their work on Rocko's Modern Life. They included action sequences and, with Disney's encouragement, featured musical numbers in every episode subsequent to "Flop Starz". Povenmire described the songs as his and Marsh's "jab at immortality", but the pair have earned two Emmy nominations for Phineas and Ferb songs to-date. A third Emmy nomination, for the episode "The Monster of Phineas-n-Ferbenstein" (2008), pitted the show against SpongeBob SquarePants, although neither nominee received the award due to a technicality. In 2010, Povenmire was nominated amongst several other Phineas and Ferb crew members for the Daytime Emmy Award for both "Outstanding Writing in Animation" and "Outstanding Original Song - Children's and Animation" for their work on the show, winning for "Outstanding Writing in Animation".  The distinctive style of the animation legend Tex Avery influenced the show's artistic look. Like Avery, Povermire employed geometric shapes to build both the characters and the background. The style developed almost accidentally, with Povenmire's first sketch of title character, Phineas Flynn, which he produced while eating dinner with his family in a restaurant in South Pasadena, California. He doodled a triangle-shaped child on the butcher paper covering the table. He was so taken with sketch he tore it out, kept it, and used it as the prototype for Phineas and as the stylistic blueprint for the entire show. CANNOTANSWER

Povenmire föddes i San Diego, Kalifornien den 18 september 1963 och växte upp i staden Mobile, Alabama. Ett underbarn, han började teckna vid två års ålder; när han var tio, hans verk visades i lokala konstutställningar. Hans första insatser inom animation inkluderade en serie flipböcker som han producerade i sina skoltextböcker. Som barn betraktade Povenmire animatören Chuck Jones som sin hjälte; i en intervju 2009 uppgav han att "varje teckning han [Jones] gjorde var vacker att titta på och hade så mycket energi i sig". 1993 avlade Povenmire och Marsh serien Phineas and Ferb, baserad på deras liknande erfarenheter av barndomssomrarna som tillbringades utomhus. Povenmire tillbringade 14-16 år med att pitcha Phineas och Ferb till flera nätverk. De flesta avvisade det som ogenomförbart för komplexiteten i dess intriger, men Povenmire framhärdade, senare observerande "Det var verkligen den show vi ville se: om detta var i sändning, skulle jag titta på den, och jag känner inte alltid att om varje show jag arbetar på." Även Walt Disney Company avvisade till en början Povenmires pitch, men bad att få behålla förslagspaketet: "Vanligtvis innebär det att de kastar det i soporna senare", erinrade Povenmire sig. Så småningom kallade Disney tillbaka Povenmire med ett accepterande, på villkor att han skulle producera en 11 minuter lång pilot. Han ringde Marsh, som bodde i England, för att fråga honom om han skulle vilja arbeta på piloten; Marsh tackade genast ja och flyttade tillbaka till USA. Istället för ett konventionellt manus pitchade paret piloten genom att spela in rullar av dess storyboard, som Povenmire sedan mixade och dubbade för att producera action och sång. Nätverket godkände showen för en 26-episod säsong. Povenmire lämnade Family Guy för att skapa serien. Povenmire och Marsh ville inkorporera i Phineas och Ferb den typ av humor de hade utvecklat i sitt arbete med Rocko's Modern Life. De innehöll actionsekvenser och, med Disneys uppmuntran, presenterade musiknummer i varje avsnitt efter "Flop Starz". Povenmire beskrev låtarna som hans och Marshs "jab at odödlighet", men paret har förtjänat två Emmy-nomineringar för Phineas och Ferb-låtar till dags dato. En tredje Emmy-nominering, för avsnittet "The Monster of Phineas-n-Ferbenstein" (2008), ställde in showen mot SvampBob SquarePants, även om ingen av de nominerade fick utmärkelsen på grund av en teknikalitet. 2010 nominerades Povenmire bland flera andra Phineas- och Ferb crew-medlemmar till Daytime Emmy Award för både "Outstanding Writing in Animation" och "Outstanding Original Song - Children's and Animation" för sitt arbete med showen, och vann för "Outstanding Writing in Animation". Den distinkta stilen i animationslegenden Tex Avery påverkade showens konstnärliga utseende. Liksom Avery använde Povermire geometriska former för att bygga både karaktärerna och bakgrunden. Stilen utvecklades nästan av misstag, med Povenmires första skiss av titelkaraktär, Phineas Flynn, som han producerade samtidigt som han åt middag med sin familj i en restaurang i South Pasadena, Kalifornien. Han klottrade ett triangelformat barn på slaktarpapperet som täckte bordet. Han blev så tagen med skiss att han rev ut den, behöll den och använde den som prototyp för Phineas och som den stilistiska ritningen för hela showen. CANNOTANSWER Inkluderade de låtar?
