57 Hidden Details in Animated Movies That We Never Noticed

A moment of honesty: Cartoon Network’s Dexter’s Lab was among our favorite shows growing up. You can divide the show’s fans into two groups: those rooting for Dexter and those for his annoying big sister, Deedee. You can probably tell which team we were on. They weren’t enemies or anything, but she was always messing around in his lab.

We always supposed she was named Deedee because it matched the name Dexter (even in real life, parents often name their children in names that start with the same letter), and we never gave it much thought. As it turns out, this isn’t just a random name. The word “Deedee” in Hindi stands for “elder sister.” And, well, Deedee is Dexter’s older (and much taller) sister.
