Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show (2009)

I was waiting years for an Ed Edd n Eddy movie. The beginning was almost heart pounding, especially since it was like the wildest car-chase I have ever seen. The heroes where on the run in a car, Flintstones-style, being chased by a foreigner on a pig, a jock on a bike, a cheerleader on roller skates, and a skitzophrinick who talks to a plank of wood. The ending was, in my opinion, perfect for the series, and the revelation of Eddy's brother, was no surprise to me, because the series did hint about his true colors. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD. This is what I think the summary on the back wold be. "From director Danny Antonnucci, comes a motion picture event of 'Ed'-normous proportions. Eddy has come up with his most ambitious scam ever. But it has gone horribly wrong, now Eddy, and his friends Ed and Edd (Double D) must turn to the one man who can help them: Eddy's Brother. But the kids have learned where they're heading and follow them. The Kanker follow suit, determined to save their 'Boyfreinds'. The 'Ed'-pic conclusion of Cartoon Network's critically acclaimed series, filled with laughs, sorrow, an action-pack car chase, and the shocking revelation of Eddy's Brother."

This is an example of a terrific movie, TV or otherwise. I have never been drawn into a movie like this, and the animation is beyond anything I would've have expected from an animated movie. It has a great plot, and the writing is terrific. The only reason that I don't give it a 10, is because of the ending. Nothing that happened in the series or the beginning of the movie set up the ending they decided to put in. It completely changes things, which is crazy, even for the end of the series. But even then, this is one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. And if you find the smallest amount of pleasure from watching the series, you will not want to miss this.

The trademark humor of the Ed Edd and Eddy series is their incredibly elastic body parts, over-portrayal over-exaggerated simple ideas, and the ability to turn the most innocuous objects into sophisticated machines, and this film continues off of it. Basically the story revolves around the Eds trying to escape the wrath of the cul de sac kids after their latest scam unintentionally goes awry, leaving Kevin, Nazz, Rolfe, Johnny horribly mutilated. During this whole pursuit, each of the cul de sac kids run into humorous situations similar to the TV series and through these situations they really get a chance to learn about each other and the strength of their friendship. The film was well made; each character had a decent amount of development, there are happy and sad times for the Eds and the end of the movie is unlike anything you have ever seen in the TV series. This is highly recommended for all fans of Ed Edd Eddy.

If certain theatrical films, like "the Lion King", "Finding Nemo", and "Kung Fu Panda", can be very successful and memorable in characterization and storytelling, then TV movies can be like that, too. And "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show" is one superb example.Basically, the movie centers on the Eds searching for Eddy's brother after Eddy's latest scam backfires big time. (Only the Eds fans know exactly why the scam flops out - sort of.) And all the kids of the Cul-De-Sac have to track them down to avenge for themselves before those troublemakers can reach their destination. Aside from maniac animation and ultimate level of humor, there's one thing that hasn't been overlooked throughout the whole film: heart.The story of "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Picture Show" has been split into many parts: the Eds, Kevin and Nazz, Jonny and Plank, Sarah and Jimmy (later merged with the Kanker Sisters and Wilbur), and Rolf and Wilbur. But unlike "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa", there's a sufficient amount of story for each set of characters - not too much nor too little. It's all because of the superb sense of direction of the movie. Even the film is almost well-structured, too. (The beginning is a perfect example!) And it seems that the creative artists of "Ed, Edd n Eddy" had managed to take the TV movie to "the place it has to be" big time.So if you are looking for TV movies with superb comedy and heart, like "Escape from Cluster Prime" and "Rugrats: All Growed Up", then "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show" is one best example to see.
