| D.N. Ace | comment |
D.N. Ace is a Canadian animated series from Nelvana that was created by children's television producer Matthew Wexler. Taking heavy inspiration from the Mon genre, the series was produced with consultation from the Japanese animation studio OLM Incorporated, who are most famous for producing the Pokemon anime.12-year-old Ace Ripley is an average boy from the town of Del Juevo, living in a world where robots are a way of life for many and having them clash in stadiums is common entertainment (something he dreams of becoming a champion in someday). However, Ace's life changes when he and his best friend Sloane Plunderman discover his family's big secret — a cave hidden in his basement containing a meteor emitting unusual radiation from it.There, Ace encounters Mendel, a 500-year-old squirrel who was rendered immortal and given the ability to talk from exposure to the meteor. Mendel was a friend of Ace's grandfather (who studied the meteor and its power alongside him) and has been instructed to do as he has with all of Ace's family since the day the Ripley home was built over the meteor — introduce himself to Ace and reveal their family secret when he comes of age. While Ace has actually shown up 4 years ahead of schedule, Mendel nevertheless presents the boy with something that he and Grandpa Ripley created — a pocket watch-shaped device called the Descrambler (or D-Scram for short), which has the power to combine the D.N.A. of a living thing with the molecules of an inanimate object to create creatures that Ace decides to call "Scrammers".Now, with his grandfather's Descrambler in hand, Ace is out to protect his grandpa's secret from any who dare to exploit it for evil (namely Sloane's Annoying Younger Sibling and world's youngest billionaire Huxley), and he's going to have the time of his life while he's at it.The series was released on Teletoon on July 6th, 2019 with 40 22-minute episodes (consisting of 80 segments) and concluded its single-season run on April 11, 2020. With Teletoon's rebranding as Cartoon Network Canada in 2023, it stands as the final original series created for the English-language version of the channel. | |

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: If you're wondering why the show's intro sounds like it was performed by Grojband, that's because Lyon Smith (the voice of Ace Ripley in this show and Corey Riffin in Grojband) sings the series' theme song. | |

Hybrids Are a Crapshoot: The episode "Tropic Blunder" has Ace deciding to create a Scrammer partially made from a sample of one of Huxley's genetically-engineered plants despite Mendel's warning that doing so would be a bad idea. Sure enough, the created Scrammer has an uncontrollable Ax-Crazy demeanor and causes chaos all over town with the protagonists trying to figure out a way to stop it. | |

And the Adventure Continues: The first season ends with the reveal that Ace's mom wasn't on vacation, but actually on a secret mission to retrieve a blue splinter to recharge the meteor in the event its energy gets depleted. She was also followed back by a monstrous creature she had to fend off to retrieve it, which Ace and the scrammers leap into battle with as the episode closes. | |
