Christmas 2022 day 10. Why haven't I watched this before? Ed, Edd and Eddy is one of my favorite cartoons of all time and to not have watched this special feels like a sin to me. It´s so fun and takes me right back to being in love with the show.
Jingle jingle jangle is so good. The story feels done before but it´s just pure fun. There is even a moment that touched me in this, like how? It´s Ed, Edd and Eddy I'm not supposed to do anything but laugh! But this is a new Christmas favorite of mine. It´s fun, it´s well done, and it just hits all the marks of being a good Christmas story.
Eddy finds the presents he´ll receive at Christmas and it turns out his only getting clothes. He plans to get adopted for a day by one of the other kids of the cul-de-sac in order to take their presents. Eddy experiences how the other kids celebrate charismas, while Ed and Edd are trying to teach Eddy what Christmas is actually about.
I love the score of Ed, Edd and Eddy in general but also here. The underlying jazzy vibes always sound great and follows the movie so well. When a frame moves and the music moves with it, is so fun. The new Christmas music is a bit off putting. It sounds nearly off key which might be the point, but it wasn't for me. I also really love the use of fun sound effects witch the show is known for. They are all so fun and really ads a lot to the humor.
I really love how they show the three different eds ways of understanding Christmas. Ed is all about Santa, Edd is about Christmas spirit and Eddy is about presents. They are all important parts of being a kid around Christmas and all relatable. While Eddy seems egoistic in the story, his also relatable since we all hated getting cloths as kids around Christmas.
It´s so fun to see how the different kids celebrate Christmas and this is where the story just kind of runs itself. New kid, new problems, new jokes. It´s simple but works so well. The humor is just me. I love the humor of this show and Ed is my favorite character in terms of the humor.
What I didn't expect was to get touched and moved by this short. There is a scene with a tree that is so well done. No dialogue, no jokes, just spirit. It´s framed so well and executed so well with a great and moving message afterwards. But I love Eddy never really changes here.
This is such a great special and a new favorite of mine. The short is simple but fun and done so well. The humor is good and the message towards the end is done so well and moving. I will forever love this show and this special just shows me Danny Antonucci knows how to create great stories from nearly nothing.
