Ed, Edd due north Eddy: A Unique Approach

The Classical Animation Society at the Savannah Collegeof Art and Design critique Danny Antonucci'due south Ed, Edd due north Eddy, a popularnew series on Drawing Network.

Editor'southward Annotation: In our February issue of Blitheness World Magazine,Terrence Briggs reviewed Ed, Edd north Boil in "Ed,Edd n Eddy: Defenseless in a Circle" and, frankly, wasn't too impressed.Over the next few months, letters of support for Ed, Edd n Eddy pouredin, 2 of which were featured in the April and May "editor@awn.com"section of the mag. After so much praise for this Drawing Network/DannyAntonucci show, nosotros decided to accept another await... In a unique style of story and character design, Ed, Edd north Eddy isbased on three kids going through the struggles of growing up whose near difficultproblem is trying to make plenty coin for jawbreakers. Ed is a goofball andnot very intelligent. His stupid and crazy comments highlight everything thetrio does. Edd, or "Double D," is the sensitive thinker, who alwayshas the concerns and doubts near everything. Eddy is the ambitious, hot-headedleader who thinks up all the projects the trio does. The iii find themselvesplaced in several situations throughout each episode. You never know wherethey are going to cease up. Definitely Made for Kids One of the definite strengths of Ed, Edd, due north Eddy is the creator'sapproach to the story structure. In the cartoon, the characters go from oneadventure to the next with little or no transition at all. The stories aretotally spontaneous from plot to setting. "This show leaves all conceptand plot wide open up," says higher educatee Matt Gorball. Upon outset viewingof the show we were expecting a typical cartoon with a uncomplicated plot that ranthe course of the show. This is where nosotros were surprised. We where happy tosee a new approach to storytelling for kids. Normally in animation, storiesneed to be strong for audience comprehension, merely the concept behind thiscartoon makes a strong case for the exception. This unusual approach to storytellingwill exist eye-opening for adults, merely perfectly in melody with kids. Ed, Eddn Eddy is the story of 3 kids having adventures with friends in theirneighborhood. When regular kids play with their friends in their neighborhoods,there is no construction. Kids are famous for short attention spans, so theygo from playing i game to another whenever they get bored. The fact thatEd, Edd north Boil plays off of this is what makes it so successful. "Ed,Edd due north Boil does not follow conventional sense of humour," says college studentGianina Lopategui. "Its distinctive and baroque mode is what bringsthe laughter." Aside from this new approach to story, the animation itself tries to be distinctivein its own way. The animation mode matches the spontaneous tone of the prove.The line quality of the characters varies and shakes, giving move even toholds. It isn't as overpowering as the line quality change on Comedy Primal'sDr. Katz, just is simply enough to add a trivial texture to the look ofthe bear witness. Information technology is very successful, almost giving the expect of crude animationand the viewer the feeling that the show was drawn by kids. This await in theanimation continues to make Ed, Edd due north Eddy a notable and new approachfor today'southward cartoon. The humor of the show is extremely fast-paced. Don't blink, or you'll missthe gag. Information technology is sometimes hard to grasp what has but happened. Nonetheless itseems that this would completely appeal to kids. Information technology moves along at a kid'space, and creates the feeling that a little kid is presenting the gags. We Want More! Ed, Edd n Eddy's sense of humor is usually based on the situations theyget into. Fifty-fifty though the situations they see are funny, we would liketo see some deeper exploration into the characters. Maybe an episode withjust one of the 'Eds,' focusing on how he would solve a trouble without theother two, or an episode based on Jimmy or Lisa. This is the problem we findwith the dissimilar approach to story. It is very hard to institute a deepcharacter with the plot irresolute every few minutes. Without getting the audienceinvolved with the characters it volition be hard to gain long-lived back up forthe show. Being a fairly new prove there is nevertheless fourth dimension to allow the charactersto abound. That, above all else, is our biggest critique. Permit u.s. make clearthat we did enjoy the show, and at points information technology had several of united states of america in tears becausewe were laughing so hard. Our favorite grapheme wasn't even one of the Eds.Nosotros especially liked Jimmy. Despite the fact that it is hard to understandhim sometimes because of his braces, he is one of the funniest characterson this or any other show. We would love to run into him used as much equally possible. Ed, Edd n Eddy is a fresh show with very unlike approaches. We areglad to see, as higher students, a show that attempts to be unique. Manycurrent cartoons seem to be merely hybrids of others. Ed, Edd n Eddy pushes quondam ideas aside and introduces us to a whole new world of story andcharacters.
