On its own, Dexter’s Laboratory: Ego Trip is a hilarious and entertaining self-contained adventure that easily sits beside the very best episodes of the series.

Ego Trip’s premise, that of Dexter travelling through time to meet various versions of his future self and in doing so inadvertently setting in motion a series of events culminating in him having to save the world, seems almost prescient in light of recent timeline-hopping fare like 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, and 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. The opening title sequence in which Mandark, adorning a cape, flamboyantly moves throughout his own Burton-esque laboratory before infiltrating Dexter’s own feels inspired by the silhouette animations of German filmmaker Lotte Reiniger. Though produced for TV, Dexter’s Laboratory: Ego Trip is an impressive feat of traditional hand-painted cel animation. Impatient to experience his own future greatness, Dexter uses his own time machine to travel to the moment in which he becomes a legend. The hour-long film follows Dexter who, after foiling his rival Mandark’s plot to steal an immensely powerful device known as the “Neurotomic Protocore,” is attacked by a group of red robots declaring their mission to “destroy the one who saved the future.” After defeating them, Dexter is overcome with excitement at the thought of growing up to become such an important figure à la The Terminator’s John Connor that someone would go so far as to travel back in time to get rid of him.

Produced following the conclusion of the half-hour series finale “Last But Not Beast,” Ego Trip was Genndy Tartakovsky’s final Dexter’s Laboratory’s production and the first Cartoon Network television movie ever produced. Image: Hanna-Barbera Productions/Cartoon Network Tartakovsky oversaw the production of over 52 episodes before departing the series to work as a supervising producer on his colleague Craig McCraken’s series The Powerpuff Girls and eventually his next original series, 2002’s Samurai Jack. The series followed Dexter, a precocious and self-serious boy genius with an extravagant laboratory hidden inside his room, and his various misadventures with his bubbly older sister Dee Dee, and his occasional clashes with his rival Mandark. However, one particularly interesting installment of the series, the 1999 television special Ego Trip, is not only conspicuously absent from the streamer, but has all but evaporated since it first premiered on air nearly 23 years ago.ĭexter’s Laboratory aired for two seasons between 19, and an additional two seasons from 2001 to 2003, gradually becoming one of the network’s high-rated original series and garnering three Annie Awards and four Primetime Emmy nominations. On the brand’s HBO Max hub page, Dexter’s Laboratory sits prominently alongside Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd ‘n Eddy and Adventure Time. Hopefully.Even two decades after the finale of Dexter’s Laboratory, the landmark sci-fi comedy created by Genndy Tartakovsky ( Samurai Jack, Primal), the series still maintains an avid fan base and a pillar of the Cartoon Network brand. I thought for a bit that SFM wouldn't be able to load some of them, as their variants in the map file itself didn't initially load, but apparently they still do. Not that many props for a not-that-big map. ~ A test tube stand with three vials bodygroups included ~ The two bookshelves, bodygroups included ~ The vague products on the shelf next to the door it'd be weird if Twi was keeping skincare products in her high school lab ~ The rolling computer chair don't fall backwards! ~ The blue box on the left shelf that I assume stores mechanical parts the bottom-right drawer comes separate ~ The microscope and an individual slide for it ~ Sci-Twi's laptop wonder why she needs two computers in there ~ Sci-Twi's headphones EqGs have giant heads ~ The two desks the left desk comes with alternate versions with the drawers being separate and also a shorter variant ~ The desktop computer's monitor and keyboard ~ 24 books every single individual book found in the lab ~ Four variants of the CPA lockers much like with the CHS pack's lockers, they come in bundles of 1, 2, 4 and 8 ~ The CPA hallway door and the black door to the lab The props included in this pack were all made by me! (sad that I can't have the fancy preview in the description anymore because that's a core feature)Īlso, to clarify you don't need this pack to view the map properly, it is only a separate collection of props for easy convenience of scenebuilding!
