The interworkings of this prank we disappointingly never learn, but it's bad enough that the trio find themselves in Eddy's brother's bedroom. We see the individual Eds frantically scramble to pack their belongings and hit the road after their latest "scam" has left the neighborhood children - Kevin, Nazz, Rolf, and Jonny - maimed and injured.
The film embraces a noticeably darker tone than most of the episodes, as it opens with the trademark setting that is the Peach Creek cul-de-sac appearing ransacked and desolate. While we unfortunately do not get the privilege of seeing what was always lurking underneath Double D's black stocking hat, we are treated to a manic, 88 minute romp that captures the essence and the ever-lasting appeal of the program.
#ED EDD N EDDY SOUND EFFECTS KEVINS BIKE SERIES#
The series made it to 131 episodes, complete with four holiday-themed specials, and of course, the inimitable TV movie, Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, in 2009. The fact it did that with minimal merchandizing is a testament to the power of the brand (the property wasn't on total merchandizing lockdown like Calvin and Hobbes, but it didn't produce the copious shirts and figurines you would've assumed). If there's one thing I've realized in the present, it's that series creator Danny Antonucci simply doesn't get enough credit for knowing his style and acing it to the nth degree.īeginning its run in 1999 and continuing strong for a solid decade amidst Cartoon Network's glory years, Ed, Edd n Eddy merited record-setting ratings for the network. I'm not going to pretend there's some deep social commentary embedded in its lunacy, although it was good for more than a few deceptively meaningful zingers. This is a program I hold dear and still revisit from time-to-time. You begin to appreciate its slapstick genius. Once you realize Ed, Edd n Eddy was the animated Three Stooges, suddenly it makes sense.
