"DeeDeemensional" is the first of three shorts of the first episode of the animated television series "Dexter's Laboratory". The short was directed by series creator Genndy Tartakovsky and Rob Renzetti who also wrote the short.[1]
In "DeeDeemensional", Dexter (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh) is forced to send his sister, Dee Dee (voiced by Allison Moore), back in time to warn past Dexter not to open an interdimensional doorway. However, past Dexter refuses to believe he sent his sister to the past and when Dee Dee meets past Dee Dee, chaos ensues.
Story[edit]
The short starts with a clock on Dexter's desk turning to 4:00 with Dexter and Dee Dee flying in the air and a vicious roar right after. It was a pink monster with tentacle-like arms and several eyes (voiced by Jeff Bennett) who was causing all the commotion. Dexter quickly grabbed his raygun and started shooting at the monster to no avail, so he grabbed a ray machine that blasted one ray bolt at the monster, but it went right through him. Dexter pulled his final trick by dropping a bomb onto the monster, it didn't work. With no options left, Dexter begins writing a letter to his past self as he is dragged away closer and closer to the monster, but Dexter manages to get the letter to Dee Dee and tells her to get into his time machine. She gets inside and goes into the past as Dexter reminds himself that he's doomed.
Dee Dee arrives at 3:00 to see past Dexter writing something, she quickly warns and tells him to read the letter she had brought to him, but past Dexter refuses to believe that he would send his "idiot sister" back in time for any reason. Dee Dee starts crying and goes outside to stumble upon past Dee Dee, past Dee Dee comforts Dee Dee and tells her to forget about "mean old Dexter and his stupid message". Past Dexter looks outside to find two Dee Dees and quickly runs outside to ask Dee Dee to give him the message, Dee Dee agrees until past Dee Dee tells her what past Dexter had done to her. Dexter tells them that he would do anything to obtain the letter, so the two Dee Dees make a suggestion that Dexter refuses and say that he would do anything except for that, but then the two Dee Dees said in sync, "It's that or no message from the future." as Dexter looks in despair.
The clock reads 3:45 as we see the two Dee Dees on a stage wearing ballet dance costumes as they do a few ballet moves. Dexter moves on stage with a pink and obviously chosen ballet dance costume annoyed and furious, he is then proceeded to be harassed and tormented with several kicks to the face, several slaps to the face, and a mallet to the head. Dexter is over it, he rips his costume and stomps off to his interdimensional doorway. He invites the two Dee Dees to see his doorway, to which he then activates and tells the girls that they're gonna test it. Suddenly the same pink monster appears behind Dexter and then the clock reaches 4:00.
The cycle starts again with Dexter trying all options possible and then forced to write a message to his past self. Dee Dee starts to familiarize the reoccurring events and finally remembers what's going to happen. When Dexter gives Dee Dee the message, she gives Dexter the other message and before he could say anything to the girls, they had already gone into the time machine, Dexter reminds himself again that he's doomed. The Dee Dees arrive again at 3:00 to see Dexter righting something and warn him, he then firmly says that they're interrupting his "...very important calculations." as it shows Dexter's papers for the doorway.[2]
