Premise

The series revolves around three preadolescent boys: Ed, who is slow-witted and often speaks in non sequiturs; Edd, who is usually called "Double D" and is rather intelligent, if high-strung; and Eddy, the avaricious 'leader' of the trio. Collectively known as "the Eds," the three hang around in their suburban neighborhood of Peach Creek, where "the cul-de-sac" is located. Led by Eddy, the Eds scheme to make money off their peers to buy jawbreakers, but their plans usually fail, leaving them in various predicaments. The characters rarely leave the neighborhood, and no adults are ever seen. Preteen or pre-teen is a stage of human development during childhood. ...

The number of characters in Ed, Edd n Eddy is fixed at twelve. No other characters have appeared besides the main cast and adults are never seen. Danny Antonucci has stated that he wanted the show to appeal to any generation. If a VCR is needed in a plot, it is there. In the first episode, Edd used a computer to give Jonny a lie detector test, powered through a toaster. The kids do not have any current modern day technology items such as iPods, Game Boys, PDAs, or mobile phones. Rolf's TV has 4 channels, and Ed's TV has a rabbit ear antenna.

Jawbreaker

The most coveted treat in the show, especially among the Eds, is the jawbreaker. A majority of episodes have used the Eds' quest for jawbreakers as the plot or a sub-plot device. The jawbreakers in the show are noticeably oversized and thus larger than a kid's head. Kids enjoying jawbreakers will have characteristic bowling ball-sized bulges on one side of their cheeks.

Overview

Ed, Edd n Eddy was animated wholly using traditional cel animation. Most cartoons are now animated using digital ink and paint. The use of painted cels lasted up to the end of the fourth season. Though the show is still entirely hand-drawn, all cels are colored digitally, since no animation studios paint cels anymore. It is the last major cartoon to use painted cels. ^{[citation needed]} Ed, Edd n Eddy uses a moderated version of Squigglevision. The crawling lines are not nearly as active as those in Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, but are still visible. Much of the unfavorable press that Ed, Edd n Eddy received has been because of this animation technique. However, Danny Antonucci calls it a "wobble" effect, and likens it to cartoons of the 1930s where the film tended to be unstable and cause a similar effect.^[1] Traditional animation, also referred to as classical animation, cel animation, or hand-drawn animation, is the oldest and historically the most popular form of animation. ... Digital ink and paint is an animation technique currently used by most animation studios. ... Squigglevision is a mode of computer animation in which the outlines of shapes are made to wiggle and undulate. ... Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist was an animated series that originally ran on Comedy Central from 1995 to 1999, and starred Jonathan Katz. ...

There is a strong theme of vagueness in the series, including the setting and deeper facts about the children. The show revolves solely around the Eds, the other cul-de-sac children, and the Kanker sisters. There are no hints as to where the cartoon takes place. Little is known about any other people in the town and if they even have any type of relation to the regular characters of the series, other than the fact that Ed is Sarah's older brother.

The show frequently makes meta-references and often breaks the fourth wall. Almost every episode contains references to pop culture, especially movies. All the episode titles, except for the holiday specials, are popular sayings with a word replaced with the word Ed (for example, "Stop, Look, and Ed": Stop, Look, and Listen.) Some are also parodies of movie titles (e.g., "For Your Ed Only" = For Your Eyes Only, "The Day the Ed Stood Still" = The Day the Earth Stood Still, "O-Ed's Eleven" = Ocean's Eleven, "Mission Ed-possible = Mission Impossible).

The letters AKA, the abbreviation for the name of the company that produces the show (a.k.a. Cartoon), frequently appear in the show on license plates, magazines, T-shirts, etc.

The kids have multi-colored tongues, because, as Danny Antonucci stated, kids are almost always eating something that turn their tongues different colors.^[2]

Date-setting

The first 4 seasons took place during the summer. Season 5 revolved around school and took place in the fall. Most of the episodes begin with something completely unrelated to the storyline of the episode. This is to emphasize the spontaneity of childhood.^[3]

Left to Right: Ed, Eddy, and Edd (Double D)

According to the interview with Antonucci (a special feature of the Season 1 DVD set), the characters were based on people in his life. The personalities of Ed, Edd, and Eddy are based on personal traits of himself, and their activities on his two sons. The cul-de-sac kids were based on people he grew up with. Antonucci also stated that he believed it was important to add Plank to the show, stating that he "thought it would be really cool to do the show with Plank taking on a character of his own" and to cause Jonny to do things he would usually never do.^[4] He also stated that Rolf is strongly based on himself and his cousins, since he was part of an immigrant family, and grew up in a first generation foreign household with different customs and ways of living compared to those born in Canada.^[5] In a podcast Cartoon Network interview, Antonucci also hinted the Kanker sisters being based on someone from his personal life, as well.

Critical reaction

The reaction to Ed, Edd n Eddy is varied. Terrence Briggs of Animation World Magazine argued that every second of the show is "filler" and that the main characters are drawn as "products from the school of acid-trip caricature."^[7] After the review was published, support letters of the show started to pile up at Animation World Magazine's website. This made the magazine write a more positive review of Ed, Edd n Eddy, calling it a "fresh show with very different approaches."^[8] Animation World Network (often just AWN) is an organisation for animators, with an extensive website with news, articles and links for professional animators and animation fans. ...
