Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip Trailers

After Dexter is confronted with robots who wish to "destroy the one who saved the future," he uses his time machine to see how he saved it. They declare that they are here to destroy the one who saved the future, and make ready to attack Dexter. Dexter easily destroys them with the use of various tools and gadgets from his lab. However, news that he is "The One Who Saved the Future" intrigues him, and he decides to travel through time to discover how cool he is. In the first time period he visits, Dexter finds a tall, skinny, weak version of himself working in office-designing cubicles, with Mandark as his rich, successful boss. The child Dexter unwittingly reveals the existence of blueprints regarding the "Neurotomic Protocore", and Mandark steals it after the two Dexters move forward in time.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I consider this television special to be the real ending of the "Dexter's Laboratory" cartoon. It gave an appropriate closure to the Dexter/Mandark rivalry showing their respective futures in an almost "epic" scale. Is a completely satisfying resolution, so there is no need to watch any of the episodes that were produced after this (I'm talking about the episodes from the last two seasons that were made without Genndy Tartakovsky which were awful, had boring plots and a horrible animation style.)This movie was cool and well made, and it was very entertaining to watch, having all the good elements that made the series popular in first place. And the funny ending, after all the seriousness was a nice touch in my opinion.

This is a TV made film starring the tiny genius character that kids have grown to love on Cartoon Network. Basically Dexter is working peacefully in his lab, and being distracted by Dee Dee for a while. Meanwhile, his nemesis Mandark has created a small green power source or something. Dexter decides to see how he apparently saved the future. He is accompanied by mid future Dexter, far future Dexter and later warrior Dexter. They all fight against their own times Mandarks as well. In the end the four Dexters find out it wasn't them that saved the future, it was Dee Dee. Quite a good TV made film for a good cartoon show. Good!

Finally! Cartoon Network surprises us with a kick-butt movie! Genndy shows us an awesome finale to the series, filled with Action, Adventure, and a load of Dexter comedy that the new series lacks significantly (probibly cause he's not in it.) Anyways, the movie shows us the future in the dexter universe and reveals many new pieces in the show. I remember when I first saw it on a Sunday morning after taping it the night b4. It retains all the quality and Hana-Barbera goodness we don't see now, after it became Cartoon Network Studios. This should have been the last entry into the series, (as Genny wanted,) but was continued with not much of acception, (i didn't like it either,) My advise: If you liked "Last but not Beast" you'll love this one..... I hope.Simply funny. The Phantom

I love the show, it was great. The movie on the other hand, stunk. I'm glad they decided to make the movie, but not this one. The show is funny - filled with little tidbits that appeal to older as well as younger viewers. The movie was dark, unfunny, and very simple. It seems as if they just decided they needed to write a movie and made one before they got a good idea for it. (5/10)
