Why the Decter lab segment was banned for almost two decades

The 1990s were a golden age for cartoons. After creatively bankrupt lines of commercials, masked by the 80’s television shows, we received one phenomenally written, visually inventive cartoon, which pushes the border after the second in the 1990s. One of the best shows this decade There was a “Dexter laboratory”. The show, created by Maestro Genndy Tartakovsky, was the first cartoon cartoon that could be done in the series. From here follows the title dexter, the boy’s genius who has the skills of the technique, which constantly implies with his older sister Di Di, which continues to enter the secret laboratory of the Dexter without his permission and interfere with his experiments.

The show became a big hit, which was responsible for the start of the career of many veterans animators such as Craig McKraken, Rob Renzetti, Set McFarlein and Butch Hartman, which each of which is each He continued to create his own successful animated shows. You see the impact of this show on each generation of the show -the Cartoon Network, and the way it set the spirit of bold creativity and visual experiments. There are honors to anime, links to Anna-Barber, fights fur, superhero university and much more, setting the style of Tartakovsky’s story in such a way that it made the “Dexter laboratory” among modern cartoons, as using silence for plot and focus, and focus, and focus, and focus, and focus And focus on bright images.

So popular and successful as the cartoon, producing four seasons and 216 unique segments, there was one episode that never saw the light of the day – and for a good reason.

Shortly after he was taken to the series, the “Dexer Lab” was given 39 half-hour episodes at once (in addition to the initial order of the season 13-episodes). This meant that the writers and animators had to come up with a lot of new ideas, except for everything that was part of the original step, and to do it quickly. Not surprisingly, some ideas were a bit of usual, and if it weren’t for the high episode in advance, they probably wouldn’t have been written.

One of these episodes is the “rough removal”, directed by Rob Renzetti. Renzeti talked with a /film about the creation of an episode that the creator Gandy Tartakowski was not at first delighted. However, with 39 episodes of three cartoons to write, there was not much space to be picky. “This episode came out of this madness,” let’s try something, “Renzeti said.” It was one of those ideas that you think. “

The segment provides for the Dexter by accident to place itself and di and in its last invention, a machine that breaks people into a polite half and a rough half. This leads to a polite DEXTER and Dee Dee that have British accents, while the rough there is thick New York accents and constantly throw away foul language.

“The essay was presented and the network loved it,” Renzetti continued. “We looked like this:” Really, are you sure? You know that the characters mostly swear. “We were very much in advance that the concept would be, but they said it was normal at every step. They were sure, but the network always said that they were going forward.”

Then a voice recording session took place. Actors Kristina Kanno and Alison Moore recorded each line of dialogue with the words included. “It was the most funny session on which I was,” Renzeratti reminded. “The voice actors liked to do it, having the opportunity to swear in the voice. We all cracked after each swearing, because without them it would not have the same influence on the performance if they could not be allowed.” Although, obviously, rude versions of the characters attract attention and great laughter, polite heroes are equally strange, especially Dquest and its amazing emphasis on the top of the British accent. “It went very smoothly, and we finished the episode and introduced the network, and finally we heard,” We can’t air. “

The “rough removal” never got on the air. However, the episode eventually began to hold tours at festivals and conditions until adult swimming eventually released a full incision on YouTube back in 2013. Nowadays you can even find a dangerous version where Decter goes to the city, talking like a sailor.

What makes the episode interesting that he never had a network notes to change the language (or its absence), but rather, the network completely supported its production – until they did it. Perhaps this was a victim of disputes from network branches and stations, such as “Cow and chicken” were with a red guy.

It is one episode of the “Decter laboratory”, which never aired it, the only one who experimented with the dramatic change of the heroes. According to Renzetti, “we know what the show is and remained in our pockets, who and where there were heroes. We didn’t want to cross the line or press the barriers.”
