Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip (1999)
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.

disgusting, overrated, pointless
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Even if i am writing this review 13 years after the movies release, this is still my most favorite cartoon movie ever. The storyline was pure gold, its action scenes were amazing, the pure funniness in every scene, and the inappropriateness of it all was GENIUS! Old-Man Dexter just made me laugh to the verge of crying. Although there are a few frightening scenes throughout, the funniness overpowers the whole movie! The fight between dexter and the robots in the beginning were awesome! Dexter's use of the wrench made it seem like a killing machine. And the animation was very clean and smooth. too bad it was never longer than 1 hour, then the movie would've become a near classic.
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)
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!
The show is really good and this movie is great too! It has a more serious story line that's true, but the overall humor and great characters bring the whole thing together so that it fits like a glove! The whole style is awesome too, the coloring is real good, varying from the green colorful dexter scheme to the dark red Mandark scheme (which in one moment overrules the entire world). The robot in the fighting sequence is unbelievably good designed and the ending is as unexpected as it is hilarious! I can't believe some people rate this as a bad movie. The only thing that is negative is it's duration, I'd like to have seen a evening filling dexter presentation.
