Ross O'Donovan: JON, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN OUR HOUSE?! Jon looks up from his Dragon's Lair cels.) (Suddenly, Ross O'Donovan and Holly Conrad walk into the room, surprised to see Jon. And look at this! (shows some animation cels from Space Ace and Dragon's Lair) I've even got some of the original cels from Space Ace, and the opening sequence from Dragon's Lair! Neato, right? I mean, they were fully animated features. Jon (VO): Or as he's BETTER known: The visionary behind such movies like Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, and An American Tail. Jon (VO): These games were made by the living legend Don Bluth, or as he's better known: The Half Second-Cousin of Mitt Romney! It's weird now to think that there would ever be a successful arcade game that was basically the equivalent of joystick DDR, but you gotta think about it from the point of view of the average kid that thrived in the video gaming scene two decades ago: They'd walk into an arcade and you'd see somethin' like this (shows Donkey Kong Junior cabinet), somethin' like this (shows Dig Dug cabinet), and then- w- WHOA! (shows Space Ace cabinet) What's that? The future?! Is that Blade Runner?! Izzat Elijah Wood in Back to the Future Two?!. Jon (VO): Don Bluth is ex-Disney! DUHHHH!

This isn't a movie theatre! We're not watchin' The Lion King!" You're right! We're not! Jon (VO): Space Ace! The less successful cousin of Don Bluth's smash 1983 arcade hit, Dragon's Lair! I know what you're thinking: "Arcade hit? But what's this? It's like some sorta movie. (The episode begins with part of the intro cutscene to Space Ace, where Dexter is running from Commander Borf's drones until the screen flashes red, the word "ENERGIZE" appears on screen, and Dexter assumes his muscular Ace form, allowing him to fight back against the drones.)
