Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip is a one-hour television special spawned from Cartoon Network's animated series Dexter's Laboratory, produced by Hanna-Barbera (now Cartoon Network Studios) for Cartoon Network, and aired in 1999.

Story

After routinely chasing Mandark out of his Lab when he tries to steal the "Neurotomic Protocore", Dexter is confronted with a group of robots that have appeared from his time machine. 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.

The journey ultimately takes him through three periods of his life, and he must enlist the help of his future selves to battle against Mandark and save the future.

In the first time period, Dexter finds himself working in the office designing cubicles, with Mandark as his boss. The child Dexter unwittingly reveals the existence of technology that Mandark steals after the two Dexters move forward in time. This Dexter is tall and skinny, like Dad. The machine this Dexter created is based on the "Neurotomic Protocore" technology from the story's present day.

In the second time period, Dexter meets his much older self. The senior citizen Dexter is bald and is the same height as the child Dexter. The senior citizen Dexter can't remember how he saved the world. So they travel back in time.

In the third time period, they meet action hero Dexter, who is tall and muscular from digging underground after Mandark stole the plans. In this period, Mandark controls the "Neurotomic Protocore" and the world.

Ironically, after an epic battle between the Dexters and Mandarks, Dee Dee saves the world. The Dexters - overcome with rage - create a group of robots and tell them to "destroy the one who saved the future", and send them back through the time machine to take care of Dee Dee, unwittingly setting the whole series of events in motion.
