A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Ed, Edd, n Eddy does a lot with a little. Despite it's small cast and limited locations until the final season, EEnE never feels repetitive. The series is constantly funny. Unlike a lot of all ages comedy, EEnE remembers that it's a comedy first and foremost, and it does not allow itself to become bogged down moral lessons, storylines, or edutainment. It's also a visual treat. It is one of the last western animated series to be animated on cels. The crew show a great understanding of animation fundamentals. It's a great show.

Ed, Edd n Eddy -- Cartoon Network's longest-running original series -- delves into the colorful idiosyncrasies of childhood through an absurdist lens. The principal storyline revolves around a socially excluded threesome and their oft-failed attempts at purchasing scrumptious jawbreakers via swindling the other kids in the cul-de-sac.Our protagonists, Ed, Edd, and Eddy, are friends with each other for no other reason than the simple fact that nobody else wants to be friends with them. Ed is the village idiot of the group, a dim-witted daydreamer who's on numerous occasions, unfortunately, on the receiving end of his spoiled baby sister's (Sara) wrath. Edd is the intellectual one, the ingenious gadget designer guiding the technical workings of the trio's scams, and the only one who commands some semblance of respect from his peers. Eddy is the self-proclaimed leader who brainstorms these misbegotten plans in the first place. He's hated by pretty much everyone. Together with Kevin, Rolf, Nazz, Jimmy, the Kanker sisters and Plank, they form the complete set of characters on the show.Absurdist humor works best under situations that completely defy the conventional functioning of causal reasoning. This can be done so by deliberately centering the joke around an implausible, ridiculous, nonsensical, senseless event in such a manner that its final outcome evokes laughter out of bewilderment. The joke subverts our expectations as the punchline comes from a realm different from the one we presume the joke is occurring in (think of a Chuck Norris joke). That's precisely why I believe that the setting of the show is a stroke of genius by Danny Antonucci.The cul-de-sac, governed by its own forces and rules, is a bizarre land for a plethora of reasons. Aside from the construction site, every location looks and feels the same to the extent that it'd be pretty easy to get lost in this secluded suburbia of spatial anomalies. In fact, without the sporadic trumpet beats keeping the viewer company it would feel like a rather lonely place. For instance, even though their presence is acknowledged, why are the adult characters never visible on-screen? How does everything run like clockwork without their supervision? Why are the characters the only kids living in the area? Does Plank actually come to life every now and then? But of course, to ponder over such questions would be to miss the point of this brilliant show.The illogical surroundings are purposely designed the way they are so as to equip the characters with their very own peculiarities. Ed's eccentric utterances and gravy puns, the dynamic between Johnny and Plank, Rolf's anecdotes about his former shepherd life, Kevin's obsession with his jock image -- all this wouldn't be as laugh-out-loud funny if not accentuated by the iconic setting. It only makes sense to create an environment that could harbor such uniqueness; one that's as surreal as its inhabitants' imaginations.Above all else, the show is about the carefree aimlessness of childhood. It's a glorious period, really. Still sheltered from vice, we can live in our very own dream worlds where time is stagnant (or at least feels so). Ed, Edd n Eddy makes me want to revisit those days of heaven and wish they had never ended.

This show is truly an underrated masterpiece. It's hilarious, lovable, and some of the best writing in Television. Why? Well, where to begin...The show is about three kids named Ed, Edd, and Eddy and their shenanigans. Most episodes revolve around Ed Edd and Eddy coming up with scams to make money to buy jawbreakers. With a simple concept, you expect the show to be predictable, right? Wrong. This show takes twists and turns and never leave you knowing what's going to happen next. The art design is great and similar to Ren and Stimpy, but the show's nowhere near as surreal. (Though they do have plenty of surreal humor). The characters are all very memorable in different ways and they all have very different personalities. The writing is really clever, especially for a simple kid's show. But I think my favorite part about the show is how everything is done in Modesty. No joke goes on too long. No gag is overused and everything is subtle. I absolutely love it.Final Thought. This is the most underrated show of all time, and I can't believe it's not brought up as much as it should be. And it's definitely the greatest Cartoon Network show ever.

One of many Cartoon Network classic "Cartoon Cartoons," Ed, Edd n Eddy is a comedy/slapstick cartoon created by Danny Antonucci (founder of a.k.a Cartoon), who is known for his work on the cult classic, "Lupo the Butcher." The Show first aired in January 4, 1999. Winning several awards, Ed, Edd n Eddy became Cartoon Network's longest running original series and the longest running Canadian-made series to date. It ran for 6 seasons (with 130 episodes, the 6th featuring only one episode, due to works on the movie), 4 specials, and the finale movie "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show," which aired on November 8, 2009. It is considered one of Cartoon Network's best works, and is still loved by many today - hell, people are still waiting for new episodes!Funny, original, beautifully animated, brought to life, filled with lovely characters and laugh-your-guts-out humour, it remains my all-time favourite show ever. EVER. Not "in a certain time," but EVER. We Want More! The greatest ever. Any real animation fan will love this show, highly recommended! My rating's of course: 10/10! :)
