D.N. Ace is a Canadian animated television series created by Matthew Wexler and produced by Nelvana for Teletoon (now Cartoon Network). The series focuses on the life of Ace Ripley, a 12-year-old boy who gains the power to create DNA by using the Dscram to manipulate the Scrammers, alongside his lovable best friend Sloane Plunderman and an immortal squirrel named Mendel.

The show debuted on 6 July 2019,[1] and ended its run on 11 April 2020. This was the final English-language Teletoon original series before the network rebranded as the new version of Cartoon Network Canada in 2023. Forty episodes were produced.

Plot

[edit]

The series follows the adventures of a curious, adventurous, mischievous, proudly nerdy, 12 year old boy named Ace Ripley who suddenly learns he holds an incredible ability to manipulate DNA by fusing the genes of a living thing with any other thing, to create something entirely new. The hero-in-the-making uses his newfound power to create ridiculous, amazing, and even terrifying mashed up creatures, and tries to save his town from total chaos while trying to have the time of his life.

Development

[edit]

The series was announced on 14 November 2017, as a comedy adventure series created by Matthew Wexler and produced by Nelvana. Dentsu and OLM, Inc. served as consultants through production and represent the series in Japan.[2] The show features service animation by Yeti Farm.[3] Teletoon released the shows first trailer online 21 June 2019.[4]

Characters

[edit]

Main

[edit]
  • Ace Ripley (voiced by Lyon Smith) is the eponymous main character: a fun-loving 12-year-old boy who gains the power to manipulate DNA by using the Dscram, the DNA scrambling device that can create the Scrammers.
  • Sloane Plunderman (voiced by Samantha Weinstein) is a teenage girl who is Ace's best friend and the sister of Huxley Plunderman.
  • Mendel (voiced by Juan Chioran) is a squirrel who gained immortality and sentience after being exposed to the meteorite's energy. Afterwards, he swore to protect it and worked with Ace's ancestor Zebediah Ripley to create the DNA scrambler.
  • Stuart Tweeble (voiced by Mpho Koaho) is Ace's stepbrother.
  • Huxley Plunderman (voiced by Taylor Abrahamse) is the main antagonist. He is the C.E.O. of Plunderman Enterprises and the evil brother of Sloane. He is later downgraded to a recurring antagonist when he fires Juan and becomes a target to some of his attacks.
