What A Cartoon - Blog Posts

Seeing how @powerpuff-man9895 did a post on the first PPG short turning 30, I’ll do the same for the first Dexters Laboratory short, Changes, which premiered a week later and is the second What A Cartoon short to premiere! It was also the first in a series of pilots for Dexter’s Laboratory.

One of the things this short does so well is how it’s just a sibling quarrel taken to 11. Whereas the show had episodes just involving Dexter’s inventions and experiments gone awry, the best part of the show for me was how it juxtaposed mundane suburban life with science antics.

Hot take: jarring as it is, I really wished they added Dee Dee’s bit black bushy eyebrows in the show. It made her way more goofier expression wise!

And of course, my favorite scene from the short:

I swear, I wish I was THAT clever with my work when it came to zany jokes like that.
