The episode was directed by Rob Oliver and written by Dan Greaney.

In this episode, Bart feels overshadowed by Lisa as he grows up until she tells him where his talent lies.

Marge displays Lisa's painting while Bart draws on the entire kitchen.

A psychologist says Bart misbehaves because of Homer's lack of attention and suggests they go camping.

When Bart competes in a BMX competition, he is knocked unconscious and is revived by Lisa, who is proclaimed a hero, making him angry.

Three years later, Bart makes caricatures and attends Milhouse's graduation party.

Years later, Bart opens a bicycle modification shop, and Nelson and Lisa, who are dating, visit him.

Bart lowers one of the shop's doors, and Lisa sees a mural made in her homage.

On the lawn, Homer answers adult Bart's questions and advises him to pretend to be on the phone to avoid awkward situations.

Linklater's films Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly were rotoscoped as was the couch gag of this episode.

Instead of using the time-lapse structure to lend new insight into Bart Simpson’s mind, Dan Greaney’s script just rehashes the show’s same old character beats and jokes with different haircuts.

Generally, The Simpsons use film parody as a springboard to lunacy, but sometimes they are a little too reverential.
