It's easy to say that this marked the end of Cartoon Network's Golden Age, as new shows followed that are subject to more criticism. Do I see it that way? No. The era that ends for me is my childhood. This show helped mold my sense of humor, and I've seen all the episodes multiple times, I even remember seeing this when it aired and I was 14. It has everything other episodes of the show had: the slapstick, the gags, but most importantly, the heart. A real passion for animation and humor that bleeds through every frame. It even explores new places outside of Peach Creek, and furthers character's relationships, like Nazz and Kevin, and The Ed's friendship. Plus, it shows the Eds getting actual friends, and learning a lot about themselves in the process. A phenomenal end to a fantastic show.
... View MoreI remember seeing an early episode of "Ed, Edd 'N Eddy" and thinking it was just dumb. I saw about two or three later episodes and admitted that it wasn't bad for me. It just wasn't my thing. I kept hearing about this movie on TVTropes. They even included it in their drinking game where someone mentioned we should take a sip every time we see it mentioned. I did see it and it was about as wonderful as I thought it was. This movie was so good I would recommend it to people who aren't fans of the show. In fact, from what I heard this movie was actually BETTER than the show. I mean, it was certainly better than the couple of episodes I did see.I thought maybe it would be boring until the finale everyone talks about, but it certainly wasn't. I thought maybe the whole thing would be told in a flashback, but we never do find out the implications of the scheme that made everybody angrier than they already have been. Maybe it's just as well. I know enough about the show to understand the basic concept and I know most of the characters' names and everything. I mean, it was advertised on Cartoon Network all the time which I always watched. Does this mean I'm going to go back and watch the show? Hmmm, maybe. I'm just as satisfied telling people about this great movie.What's so wonderful is that we get to see a lot of time devoted to each of the individual characters. It's great to just see how they exist in their own world and of course how they affect all each other in the end. This movie had tons of great slapstick. There were so many great gags going on all the time. Well, they actually make fun of the actual use of slapstick. Eddy explicitly mentions it by name. I admit some of the animation could be better and the close ups can be annoying. It's still great all the way through chock full of adventure that the show never had.There's even a setup for a sequel at the very end! It features Jonny possibly becoming a new villain in the series, but then he's told the movie's over. That was a fantastic way to end the series and I couldn't have thought of a better one. I really do think this did a better job than "Gravity Falls". It resolved more story and hey, Eddy even got a kiss from Nazz! If only Dipper had a better love life. Yep, that's my avatar! I recognized the voice of one of the Kanker sisters. Having not watched most of the show, I knew it sounded familiar. I then realized it was someone from "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic". Then I finally realized it was Trixie's voice! Great to see how this voice actress started out.There's a really popular theory going around that Ed, Edd 'N Eddy takes place in Purgatory. That's why adults never appeared or something. Well, this movie actually does feature adults for the first (and only) time in the whole series. We see the lower parts of their bodies when Johnny is on the bus. So has this theory been disproven? If not, then I love the idea that the Edds and the other kids at the Cul-De-Sac have finally ascended to Heaven, having learned their lesson of unity after all this time.I just wish I could have seen them with the actual Jawbreakers in their mouths! Well, it's said they do get them at least. It wasn't a distant finale, but it still answered every question we wanted answered. Maybe it's just because Donald Trump became President that I feel like we're in a new age. At least we have something as good as this to look back on. A pity nearly all animated movies are CGI as I really do suspect this would do well in theaters. I especially love the first two minutes, where it's nothing but silence and no music while the sign is brought up. It perfectly sets up the movie. So as Edd himself says, it took them 130 episodes to finally get what they wanted.It was worth it. ****
... View MoreThe Great Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show is literally Immense. The Greatest of All movies, and the last of their kind. No other movie will replace it not even shows of any channel will be able to compete with The Official Movie EVENT. The Ed, Edd n Eddy Big Picture Show is way more complex than any movie played on Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, or any other channel to the viewers. (Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show)Respectively deserves more than a review. Last of The Cartoon Cartoons, Last of The Fridays Shows and know the last of their kind. Cow & Chicken, I Am Weasel, Scooby Doo, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, Tom & Jerry, The PowerPuff Girls, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Codename:Kids Next Door, Sameri Jack, Foster's Home for Imagenary Friends, Teen Titans, but only Ed, Edd n Eddy continued until the movie of which told it all. Absolutely no upcoming shows like Adventure Time & Generator Rex or The Regular Show. Ed, Edd n Eddy shall be missed and remember-ED.
... View MoreI had known about this film being in production since 2007, when it was originally supposed to come out. It has been several years in the making, and I ave been waiting for along time, but now, I finally have seen it........wow, it was sooo Worth the wait!The opening sequence is chilling and epic, the first scenes are awesome and reminiscent of a rabid-zombie-chase scene, the way that we never actually find out what this scam that went badly wrong, actually is, is great and leaves it to the viewers' imagination. The later scenes, of the Eds wandering through deserts, fields, woods and areas they have never been to, such as the Gag-factory and the highway, bring a sense of epicness and mystery to the film. Several of the show's biggest secrets are revealed in the film, such as who it is that Nazz has a crush on (We never truly find out, but it is pretty obviously Kevin), who Eddy's brother looks like, but the matter of the mystery beneath Edd's hat still remains a mystery, which I think is a good thing. If they had revealed it, it would have been either completely ridiculous, or not live up to the hype. The final scene is the only thing I can find negative about it. The whole scene itself works well, but it all seems a bit rushed. In a matter of about 10-15 minutes, we meet Eddy's brother, find out he is a jerk, everyone stands up to him, beats him, we find out that everything Eddy told us about him was a lie, and the Eds being finally accepted. If the climax was about 30 minutes, it would have worked no problem. Curse the CN movie time limits! The humour is as brilliant as ever. The fan-girls get to see even more of Edd's dark side and see Eddy break down and dissolve into tears. Ed-fans get to see him up to his dopey mischief again. Oh, and Johnny fans get to see him and Plank back as Captain Melonhead and Splinter the Wonderwood!All in all, I think this movie is worthy of a cinema release (Imagine seeing that car-chase scene on the big screen)! Or, at the very least, a DVD release. I hope that CN sees just how popular the movie is, and gives the fans what they want, a DVD release.
