patboldt This "Big Picture Show" is one of the best finales for anything....ever! The opening 20 minutes quite possibly is one of the best pieces of animation in Cartoon Network history with slow build up and huge payoff. That's not to say that the rest of the movie isn't good, it is, but the opening 20 minutes is just phenomenal. The actual animation itself, the tension, and the writing are just perfect. If it carried that for the entirety of the movie, I would easily give this 10 stars, maybe even 11. That being said, the movie itself is quite good for Ed Edd n Eddy and feels like a loving homage to fans of this cartoon and a passion project like the modern Samurai Jack reboot. For a comedy cartoon like this, I never expected it to get emotional and deep, nor did I expect it to get dark. And this is for a series which has a creepy theory that everybody is dead and in purgatory! The main trio are the stars in this story and every second they have on screen is just golden from the moment they are introduced to the encounter with Eddy's brother. The problem is that the movie spends a lot of time on the side characters. Of them, only Rolf, Johnny, Sarah, and Jimmy are actually interesting. The whole thing with Kevin and the whole bike subplot kinda comes out of nowhere and doesn't do anything exceptional and the Kanker sisters don't do that much despite having considerable screen time. Also some jokes don't really work, but they are pretty rare so it's not a major flaw. What really makes the "Big Picture Show" amazing is that it has so much love put into it. This easily could have been a cheap gimmik to make some easy money but the creators really went out of their way to make this as amazing as possible. The sound editing and cartoon violence are the best parts of the animation (it feels like Tom and Jerry violence and it's so beautiful.) As for sound editing, every sound effect is just great and it's so satisfying to hear constant animal sounds, it makes everything seem chaotic which perfectly goes well with the tone and atmosphere. Overall I'd give the opening a 10/10 and the rest a solid 8 out of 10. This is wonderfully made and easily the best TV special ever made, at least for Cartoon Network.

williemanga150 What makes this show so popular? Energetic animation, colourful characters, slapstick. Is all that in the finale movie? Well, yes, but there is more to it than that. Apparently, a disastrous scam has wrecked the neighborhood, and the kids are trying to kill them. And I swear, that's how it begins. They decide now is the time to go visit Eddy's brother, whom Eddy mentioned several times throughout the series, in hope for protection. The subplots revolve around each of the Cul-De-Sac kids hunting down Ed, Edd n Eddy with the Kanker sisters protecting the latter. Like I said, the slapstick comedy, great animation and diverse characters are all present. What makes this movie really stand out is that they do something different with the characters. I'm not going to go through all the subplots, because it would take too long. I will say they take it to the next level. Rolf, my second-favorite character (Ed being my favorite) is plotting to "spit the Eds on his pitchfork." Yikes! Humorously enough, Kevin's bike is getting in the way of his relationship with Nazz. What I really like about this is that we learn a lot more about Eddy, the show's anti-hero, when Edd confronts him on his failed schemes. After... a "quicksand" prank, Edd yells at Eddy for his schemes that get him into trouble, resulting in an argument between them where Edd actually kicks Eddy onto his back, even deciding that he'd rather face the consequences for his involvement in Eddy's schemes than travel with him. The best part is where Eddy takes the blame for the disasters, and deep down, he thought he was a loser this whole time. Edd forgives him and the trio decide to continue looking after one another. The Kankers eventually capture the rest of the kids and all characters get to Eddy's brother's place. He seems cool at first, but we ultimately see him for what he is, a monstrosity of sadism. He tortures Eddy and everyone else, even the Cul-De-Sac kids stand up for him. Ed saves Eddy by making a door hit him. We finally see that Eddy was influenced by his brother, but just wanted to be liked by the other kids. Touched by this confession, the kids cheer for Eddy except Johnny, who attacks them, still thinking they're causing trouble. He's attacked by the rest of the kids. Finally making friends, the titular trio are even invited by Kevin to enjoy some jawbreakers. If Ed, Edd n Eddy is the perfect nostalgic modern show, then this movie is the perfect way to end it. I don't think there could have been a better note to end on. Oh, and Johnny becomes evil. So there's that. Perfect 10

mechg2994 Watching Ed, Edd n Eddy for a very long time was quite an honor for me. I remember having Cartoon Network back in 1999 and never watched this since 2000. My goodness it has all ended with a bang.So the movie is about Eddy's scam gone wrong and everybody from the cul-de-sac is chasing after the Eds who want to the living sh*t out them. After getting away, they seem to be in the middle of nowhere until Eddy finds out his brother's place is a sanctuary. Sometime, they find Eddy's brother's place in an amusement park in which the gang of the cul-de-sac and the Kanker sisters find them. Eddy's brother shows up and starts playing uncle with Eddy. Then everybody stood up to Eddy and somewhat rebelled against his brother. Then Eddy knocks him out with the trailer door and confesses that he just wanted attention. Then everybody just like started respecting the Eds.All I can say is this movie was just a ride. Starts out with a long chase scene we have never seen in the show in our life and crazy stuff happens and Eddy's brother makes an exclusive appearance. So what now, GO WATCH IT! If you've been an Ed, Edd n Eddy fan for life.All I can say is Thanks for the memories. It was the best ride Edder! Like what Double-D says: "It only took 130 episodes, 4 specials, and a movie."1999-2009. F*ck CN nowadays they got rid of all their good shows.10/10

femoman I 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.
