The Dad-inator

"The Dad-inator" was a site currently available on the Disney Channel US and Disney XD US websites that allowed you to create an animated electronic greeting card for Father's Day.
Visitors first selected a theme for the card, which featureed the following characters: Phineas and Ferb, Vanessa, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and Agent P, and Isabella. Each theme was accompanied by a new song, with each of the characters taking part. The song could be heard by moving the mouse over the character(s). The second step involved entering your first name, selecting a greeting for your father and his e-mail address. There were variations for the greeting such as "Pops", "Grandpa", "Step-dad" and "Brother", which allows for people of any age to send a card to a relative that is a father. The final step was to customize the card by placing different objects on the scene. Once finished, you could view the card to see the characters move about the scene and to hear the song again. If "Send now" was clicked, an e-mail was sent to the address provided in step 2. The third step also included a Print function, which would open a PDF file containing a pre-designed version on the theme that was selection. Four designs were available.
==Lyrics==
===Phineas and Ferb's Song===
:Guess what day it is, we think you know it
:Here's the way it is, it's time to show it
:Dad, you rock
:Like to say it another way but we've got writer's block
:You rock, you rock, you rock, you rock
:You rock, you rock, you rock, you rock
:You rock!
:Ferb: We should really get a thesaurus.
===Vanessa's Song===
:You've got a cool daughter who asked me to say
:"Listen up, Dad, Happy Father's Day
:Even though you're getting up there with a touch of gray
:I love you as you are, don't want you any other way"
:She said you mean so much to her
:And she wanted me to say
:Listen up, Dad, Happy Father's
:Listen up, Dad, Happy Father's
:Listen up, Dad, Happy Father's Day!
===Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Agent P's Song===
:Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Hello. Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz here. Your child asked me to tell you something, and I decided to do it in song form 'cause...you know, that's how I roll.
:Though your child is not exactly evil
:Not wicked, vicious, sinister or mean (it's a pity, really)
:Still, I certainly can't complain
:Your progeny showed some brains
:By sending me to appear upon your computer screen
:I hate to say it, but your child really likes you
:Though I hesitate to sound cliché
:It's time to literally bang a gong
:As I belt out this song
:Wishing you an incredibly evil Father's Day!
:Oh, that was much louder than I thought it would...anyone got a softer mallet?
:(Perry growls)
===Isabella's Song===
:Your daughter likes many activities
:"Such as pottery, painting and canoeing
:But it prob'ly won't astound you
:That she likes to hang around you
:And ask you "What'cha doin'?"
:So I'm happy that I'm able to tell you
:That your lovely daughter asked me to say
:She wants you to know
:That she loves you so
:And wishes you a Happy Father's Day!
:Happy Father's Day! (giggles)
==Notes==
*Since computer viruses and other malware can be sent by clicking on links sent in an e-mail, you should have told the person that you actually did send them the card.
*At the bottom of the e-mail that is sent, there was a notice about unsubscribing to an e-mail from Disney Channel. This may indicate that sending the card also adds that e-mail address to other Disney Channel communications.
*The printable cards featured a songwriting credit for the original songs in the copyright notice: "Songs by Martin Olson." (The songs are collectively registered under the title "Father's Day Cards Songs" as BMI Work #12029718.)
*For 2011, the objects are different, as you can place Milly, Katie, and Ginger Hirano on Isabella's card, Ferb on Vanessa's card, Norm, Ballooney, and the Gloominator on Heinz's card, and Candace Flynn, a Phinedroid and/or Ferbot, as well as the Giant floating baby head on Phineas and Ferb's card.
*Phineas's 2011 card has the following objects: the Brobots from I, Brobot, the Giant floating baby head.
*Vanessa's 2011 card uses the stage from The Baljeatles as the background, with the Mary McGuffin Doll ("Finding Mary McGuffin"), Ferb in his Baljeatles attire from Gimme a Grade, the Rider From Outer Space ("The Chronicles of Meap")
*Isabella seems to be in the boys' backyard beach in the 2010 version, and at the campground in the 2011 version. ("Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror", "The Ballad of Badbeard", "Get That Bigfoot Outa My Face!", "Last Train to Bustville")
*For 2012, there were no changes on any character's card.
*The site was removed before Father's Day 2013.
