Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip

I personally enjoy Dexter's Lab, and watch it whenever I can. When "Ego Trip" was first put on TV in 1999, my brother and I made sure we had a blank tape to record it on. It goes along with the typical "Dexter" style, including animation, which naturally isn't entirely the best. Even so, I found the movie very funny and enjoyable, with a good ending - following the typical style of Dexter's Lab where it kind of leaves you a bit hanging at the end. I recommend this to all people who enjoy the show "Dexter's Lab."

Awww. I love those girlies. The girlies who gave Mandark a bath, Sarah (the blonde) and Rita (the brunette), while Mandark was yelling at that teenage Dexter and exposing his ass to the whole wide world (AKA the Viewers). Ohhhh, I love those sweeties. I love those girlies. But wait! that scene is highly erotic in my lifetime, and should have got Genndy Tartakovsky and his Hanna Barbara and Cartoon Network animators condemned by some, if not, many parents, for animating such an erotic moment for TV. But, I love those girlies who Mandark a bath, one blonde haired, the other, black haired. I love those beautiful and pretty sweeties. Kootchy, Kootchy, Kootchy, Kootchy, Kootchy...xxxxxxxxxxxxx (kisses)

Dexters Ego Trip is a good animation story about a boy, which is travelling through time to stop the Mandark to "take the world". The battles is very realistic, but I didnt find any satiric elements, which is naturally showed in the series(except one in the end), but i like the story, when dexter meets the dexter in the future, which is different, its kind of funny:) The animation is brought from the series. If you like the series, you got to watch this.

My young son is a big fan of the TV show and I usually get a chuckle out of the goofy family Dexter is forced to deal with, so we grabbed this from the rental shelf to check it out.

The movie is all about Dexter (present and future) and his nemesis, Mandark. There is little of sister DeeDee, and no sign of glove-wearing mom or good old dad. Dexter travels forward in time, then forward still further, then back a little between the first two jumps (I think) in order to meet his future self who he believes "saved the future". He meets and joins up with future versions of himself who are all quite different from present Dexter.

This normally brightly colored cartoon was fairly monochrome in this long feature, and the time jumping was hard to follow a viewer of any age. It lacked the usual characters and laughs of a short episode, but it wasn't meant to be Shrek or anything... (5/10)

BTW - the only part to make me and my son laugh out loud was at the very end when all the Dexter's were saying their farewells... Goodbye Billy! Some more flat out humor and less misery would have been nice.

I have seen this special multiple times and it pains me that Cartoon Network did not believe in the project to give it 90 minutes and the budget. It just goes to show that Cartoon Network had real talent but it had very bad management and terrible marketing.

The show really is a collection of all of Dexter and Mandark's rivalries in their lives. We get good character developmemt for Dexter and very little for Mandark. It pains me that we never got any from DeeDee even though we had character models. If you look online, you will find them.

Also, comics and cartoon hinted at Leelee liking Dexter. Imagine if we had Leelee as Dexter's love interest in all this movie.

As is, the movie is a treat to Dexter's laboratory fans who enjoyed the Rivalry with Mandark. Bing. Bang. Boom. Enjoy.

If Warner Brothers need to make some money with young adults in their late 30s to young 20s, they can greenlight a remake of this movie and give it to Gendy to make it as planned and make an ultimate version or Director Cut ending of Dexter's Labratory. You can even include The Blue Falcon or Scooby Doo. They share the same Universe.

It's an 8 out of 10 for me. Good but could have been great with an extended version. It's the bare minimum of anotherwise great idea.

It leaves you wanting a bit more.
