Get Ace is an Australian animated television series from production company Galaxy Pop, created by Dina McPherson and Gian Christian. The series follows the adventures of Ace McDougal, a young boy with amazing hi-tech super powered dental braces.
The series officially premiered on Network Ten, on 19 January 2014, where it took first place in rating amongst animated programs.
A case of mistaken identity causes ordinary highschool student, Ace McDougal to be thrown into the fast paced world of hi-tech super spies. During a normal trip to the dentist's office, Ace is accidentally fitted out with a set of hi-tech, super spy braces, loaded with dozens of different gadgets and a holographic artificial intelligence program named Hugo, that only he can see. Against the odds, Ace and Hugo (Holographic User Guidance Operative) must learn to get along in order to keep the braces secret and safe. The braces original owner Ned Krinkle, an evil spy and master of disguise, will do anything to get them back.
Since then Ned and his equally evil mother Hilda, have been trying to kidnap Ace and reclaim the braces for themselves. Ace spends his days trying to live a normal life, while constantly on the lookout for Ned and Hilda's next insane scheme to steal the braces from right out of his mouth! Episodes usually revolve around Ace using the braces to make his life easier and having it backfire on him, as well as Ned and Hilda's increasingly complicated schemes to capture Ace.
In the past, reruns of the show aired on Eleven. The series has also aired on ABC3 as of 3 November 2014. On 9 February 2015 it was announced that, due to its popularity with viewers, a second season was greenlit.
