LABretto (Dexter's Laboratory)

"LABretto" is the second half of the thirty-eighth episode in the second season of Dexter's Laboratory.

Plot
Dexter's life story, from his birth to the creation of his secret laboratory, is retold as an opera.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The plot is very interesting, as we get to see Dexter's life story starting right from birth to how he created his lab, and him having a big skull since birth is very impressive.
 * 2) Speaking of which, the opera singing here is great and top-notch to listen to, and makes the birth story more exciting.
 * 3) Watching Dexter create and test his first invention was good, despite creating a continuity error.
 * 4) How Dexter created his laboratory is very cool and interesting, and his robot invention looks impressive.
 * 5) Some emotional moments, such as the song sad Dexter sang about his robot invention being ruined because of Dee Dee making it explode at the end.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Continuity Error: In "Lab of the Lost", Dexter's first invention was an alarm, but here, it's a pear grabber.
 * 2) Dee Dee is still annoying to Dexter for pushing the button on his first robot invention, making it explode.

Reception

 * It holds a rating of 7.6/10 on IMDB.

Trivia

 * This is the only episode to not have a "The End" title card.
 * Dexter's quote "I had no time for snacks & Cheez-It" is a reference to the real snack box called Cheez-It.
 * The majority of the character lines are sung rather than spoken due to the opera style.
