–The Plot:

It’s Valentine’s Day and love is in the air at Peach Creek High – or at least it is for May Kanker, for while she and her sisters wait outside Principal Antonucci’s office May busies herself with a hand-drawn valentine for her sweet baboo, Big Ed, the bestest boyfriend ever!

Or is he? Down another hallway Ed is less than enthused at the prospect of Valentine’s Day and all those scary, mushy girls – never fear though for he’s thought ahead and is armed with a full battery of anti-girl defences! Meanwhile Edd and Eddy have made Valentine’s Day preparations of their own, which in Eddy’s case means coming up with a way to cash in on all that gushy stuff while Edd in turn embraces the holiday as a chance to conquer that ‘upchuck of apprehension’ and proclaim one’s feelings to that special someone. He’s even got valentines for his best pals, those Great Minds of Science cards aren’t just for girls, you know!

---

But while Ed is duly impressed with Double Dee’s card his reaction when May shows up to deliver hers isn’t quite what she’d hoped for and before long Ed is nowhere to be seen while Hall-Monitor Kevin is handing out detentions to Eddy AND Edd. Poor Edd’s as upset as you’d expect at this first-ever detention and to make matters worse, on his way to class he comes across May crying in a closet and of course he just CAN’T leave her like that no matter how late he’s going to be. His soft side takes over long enough to hand her a hastily-amended valentine to make up for Ed’s not-so-amorous ways but it’s too bad for him that he rushed off to class just then or he might’ve at least had advance warning, for between that card of his and a little help from some suspiciously familiar Cupids May has soon forgotten all about Big Ed and now has her heart set on a certain Head-in-Sock Ed-boy!

Back in science lab Edd’s trying to learn and getting no help at all from Ed and Eddy who are of course too busy with their own fun to take an interest in the day’s assignment. That leaves the perfect opening for May to float on up to Edd and ask to be his lab partner – Edd’s more than a little alarmed and even an unexpected burst of intellect on May’s part doesn’t seem to be putting him at ease, but wouldn’t you know that’s just when those darned mischievous mountain imps show up to shoot him with a heart-tipped arrow of his own and before you know it Edd too is wallowing in the hearts-and-flowers depths of true Valentine’s Day luurve.

---

–Top Scenes:

The opening scene, our first-ever look at life outside Ed, Edd n Eddy’s usual boundaries – Peach Creek High just happens to be run by a rather familiar-sounding principal, and between that and signs like ‘Funny Hat Day Friday,’ ‘You’ll love our meatloaf,’ and ‘4-H Club Valentine’s Day Hoe-Down’ it sounds like a fun place to go, don’t you think? Admit it, you’d like to be a Peach Creek Cobbler too!

**********

Ed’s elaborate Valentine’s Day defences. He chows down on onions (“Girls do not like stinky breath!”), hides his face beneath the first of many paper-bag disguises he uses throughout the show (“Camouflage so girls cannot see you!”) and even pulls out a spider for his shirt (“A spider, girls hate them – Sarah said so!”) What squishy, mushy girl could ever make it past all that?

**********

Ed’s reaction to his spider defence: After spending a few beats in contented chuckling as it crawls up his shirt (“Ha-ha-ha, giggly!”) his brain kicks in with the sudden warning that – egads! – there’s a SPIDER on his shirt and he flies into a wild panic as he tries to wash it off. Lucky thing Edd’s there to rescue Ed and spider both!

**********

The drawings on Ed’s camouflage bags, which remain a running joke throughout the show: in this part we get a goofily-grinning face and a Cyclops eye, while later on he’s sporting a picture of a person picking his nose, a man fishing in a boat, and a duck (complete with “Qwack” caption in case anybody had any doubts).

**********

Eddy’s Valentine’s Day preparations – sighing how V-Day’s just the same ol’ same ol’ for a cool stud like him he opens his locker to unveil his latest scam: a ‘Kiss the Hunk’ kissing booth – get in line girls! And of course it comes complete with flashy disco ball that puts that certain sparkle in the air while the background music is classic Eddy and just as tacky as it gets!

**********

Edd’s Valentine’s cards, which are just too gloriously cheesy for words. Of course they come from the Great Minds of Science series, what else would you expect from Double Dee? We don’t get to see what Ed’s says but it seems to have something to do with the A-Bomb, and while Eddy is less than sparked by his Nicola Tessla “You Electrify Me” offering it doesn’t take long for love to evolve after May gets that “Naturally I Select You” Charles Darwin valentine. Those cards just had to be fun for AKA to come up with, don’t you think?

 --–

 Getting to sneak a peek at what’s in Ed and Eddy’s lockers, which unsurprisingly bear a strong resemblance to their rooms. Ed’s locker is overflowing with all sorts of smelly debris – he’s got everything in there from fungal sandwich and dead fish to pungent gym bag, not to mention an empty pizza box and chicken bucket, a bowling ball, model rocket, rope, and “Mega Zombie” poster – and is that a chicken picture peeking out from behind that “Psycho Tiki” poster? Meanwhile Eddy’s locker is the very height of happening with that Disco Hits album, Tom Jones belt, “I (heart) $” sign, mirror, hairbrush and – of course – photo of Eddy himself. What a guy!

**********

The sweet moment between Edd and May in the janitor’s closet as Edd tries to console her when she’s been spurned by Ed. Double Dee can’t help but fret about being late for class but he’d never leave anybody – not even a Kanker – in such an obvious state of distress. You’d think he’d have learned the dangers of casually handing anything remotely romantic to a girl after that flower incident with Sarah in An Ed Too Many, but apparently there are some lessons even the brightest of Ed-boys don’t pick up on very quickly!

**********

Marie and Lee giggling over the pictures in their Anatomy book – what ever could they have been looking at?

**********

Edd’s obvious unease as he senses something’s not quite right with the way May’s looking at him in science lab. That way she’s violating the laws of gravity just cannot be good, and no matter how much he tries to bury himself in his studies she just isn’t going away. And what better way to punctuate May’s lovelorn request to be Edd’s lab partner than with Ed’s explosion of catastrophic proportions – the shock conveyed by that brief animation is worth all the words even Edd could have come up with in response. You’ll have to see it for yourself if you haven’t already as description just can’t do it justice!

–Top Lines:

Eddy: “Let’s learn! Last one to class is a – (suddenly snapping back to reality) What am I saying?”

*********

Ed: “Yucky, squishy, mushy girls, Double Dee!” (pulling Edd in close) “The fish have chips, my fine friend!”

*********

Eddy: “Ah, you babies got it light – yep, Valentine’s Day is just the same ol’ grind to this chick magnet.”

*********

Eddy: (explaining why no girls have yet rushed to line up at his kissing booth) “They must be freshening up in the can.”

Edd: (unimpressed) “‘In the can‘…right-o.”

*********

Eddy: (sourly examining the valentine Edd’s just handed him) “‘You electrify me’? Who the heck is this guy?”

Edd: (blithely enthusiastic) “Nikola Tesla, Eddy! It’s part of my Great Minds of Science Valentines series!”

Ed: (eying his A-Bomb valentine with newfound awe) “It has a mind, Eddy!”

*********

Eddy: (facing off against Hall Monitor Kevin) “Don’t let your brains go to your head, Mister Hall Monitor!”

*********

Ed: (strutting across science lab wearing the classroom skeleton): “Boy am I parched!”

Rolf: “Rolf smells the impish scent of mountain sprites come to make mischief among us!”

May: (whirling on Ed after he’s blown up the science lab) “Stupid! Don’t you know never to mix baric oxide with an aqueous suspension?”

Edd: (shocked) “May? I’ve never seen that side of you.”

May: “I develop a mean bathroom deodorizer, too!”

Edd: (alarmed and backing away) “Well, perhaps that’s a conversation best had in a very busy public area, yes?”

This section was originally started in early 2004 to form a tribute page to Ed, Edd n Eddy creator’s Danny Antonucci’s animation studio AKA CARTOON’s first 10 years in the animation industry.

Danny, not only responsible for the Eds but also the Brothers Grunt, Lupo the Butcher and a frenzy of other inspired animated inimitables set up his Vancouver-based animation company on April Fool’s day 1994 and hasn’t looked back since.

–Kit:‘Bring on Nanno’s famous cardoon rissoles for Aka Cartoon is ten and the Ed, Edd n Eddy Zone is five!

What can I say Danny, except where would this site be without you and all your help and encouragement? Many, many thanks for it and so much more besides, not just for the Eds but for all your wonderful in-yer-face work and for being a source of inspiration to so many people young and old alike and for proving that you don’t have to follow the herd to get to the top of the heap.

I draw a lot and want to someday bring them alive. 10 years of cartooning is so cool and I would so like to thank Danny and the rest of A.K.A. I like to tape Ed, Edd n Eddy each time it comes on and collect Ed, Edd n Eddy ctoons.

–Mike Perrucci from Pennsylvania, USA:‘Happy 10th anniversary, a.k.a.! I love Ed, Edd n Eddy… Call me crazy, but all kinds of kids with no grown-ups in sight reminds me of a warped version of Peanuts. That, and the animation and humor is completely unique and fun!’

–Raven Molisee from Whitewater, WI : Congratulations, AKA! Both on reaching your tenth year in the biz’ AND creating Ed, Edd n Eddy, the most amazing show I’ve ever had the privelage to happen upon. You’ve shown me that it is indeed still possible to create animation with an amazing level of heart and polish… something that is truly unique in times like these–when people seem to only be concerned about getting the job ‘done’ and not getting the job done RIGHT. Congratulations on making something truly -beautiful- that I’ll always remember. Thank you for proving my teachers wrong and showing me -and everyone- that animation can be (and -SHOULD- be) more than “wallpaper for good radio.”

And Congratulations, Eddzone! I’m amazed at the dedication that you have put forth all this time! You deserve thanks as well… for without you, I would never have been exposed to this wonderful community! And consequently would have missed out on a lot of important stuff that’s going on! Not to mention, felt pretty lonely. =) Again, thank you all… so much… for all of your hard work. I feel like I’ll never be able to express how truly important you have been and continue to be. Without people like you, I would be lost.

–Comet: ‘Yo Danny! Congrats on the 10th anniversary of A.K.A. I do hope you make an Ed movie, or something; you know to let the Eds go out with a bang (you can make that a literal message or just leave it as a figure of speech). And to the Eddzone: Kit, you rock. So do the people at the Gravy Inquirer. I hope this site stays up until it’s old, wrinkled, and rotten; maybe even longer than that. In closing, EEnE forevah. Oh, don’t forget: Gravy!’

–Myles Netherton from Concord Mass: ‘Ed, Edd n eEdy ROX!!! Especially if you team them up with Calvin & Hobbes.’

–Rob from Laguna Niguel, California: ‘Happy 10th Anniversary! Lupo the Butcher was one of the first times my friends and I started quoting cartoons from the Sick and Twisted Festival. Now I quote Ed with increasing regularity! I may be 33 years old, but I have been addicted to the Eds since it came out and have shared my addiction with all my friends. I hope cartoon network realizes that a very large portion of the viewing audience is over the age of 25! Hear that advertisers?! I hope someday soon they come out with the entire Ed, Edd & Eddy run on DVD so I can watch it anytime I feel an urge! Thank you for creating such a wonderful show that is funnier and more entertaining than anything else on tv. I hope they make an Ed, Edd & Eddy movie! DO IT! DO IT NOW! ‘ 

–Edwin Strikes Back from Orlando, Florida: ‘Happy birthday to AKA Cartoons. I really enjoyed your work on the Eds and am sure your next project will be just as entertaining. Here’s to another 10 years.’

–Chris from Archer City, TX: ‘Danny and aka cartoons…….Happy Anniversary….and thanks for all the fantastic Ed shows….my kids and I love watching the Ed’s and look forward to more new and funny episodes…I can’t wait until I can find the Ed’s on DVD so I can watch the Ed’s anytime I want.

–James from Woodlands, Texas: ‘Happy Anniversary Ed, Edd, n Eddy and all the other kids of the Cul-de-sac, Happy Anniversary Danny and Co. It’s been a great 5 years (though I’ve only been watching it for 5 years.) My feet swell with joy.’

I cut up a piece of wood, painted it black, and drew a pyramid spike choker and spikes, e.t.c. and brought it into school and said to everyone: “This is my friend, punk plank!”‘

–Evan Throckmorton from Estacada OR:”Happy Anniversary.You probably have heard this a lot but this is right on true, I’m you guys’ biggest fan you’ll ever know. You guys should make seasons on DVD and VHS. I think you should find some company or maybe even yourselfs to make Ed,Edd ‘n’ Eddy toys and action-figures. Well I got to go bye.’

–CrazyRoxi from Hull, Massachusetts:’10 years? That’s amazingly stupendous! If I even spelled it right. Anyway,good luck Mr. Antonucci. I hope you have the time of your life!’

–David S. (Clearespider) from MN, USA:‘The Eds have toutched me personally. Their cartoon inspires me to look at people with a different air, because the Eds just ignore kevin and everyone when they bombard them with “dorks”, and “ripoff artist” but they roll along. everyone has something to hide and to not notice it is wrong isn’t good. But to notice it is wrong and still treat those who it affects like normal people is a sign of true emotional strength. I find that quality in Ed.’

–Zach from CA:‘ ‘I love your show, mybrother is even making his own Ed,Edd,and Eddy movie!He’s recorded every episode and wathced them to.Oh ya happy anniversary!’

You may be thinking, “Yeah well, Ed has the brain the size of a broken pencil tip” But we all have that pencil tip in us, but it is buried and we forget it. but we can all put that pencil tip back in and keep drawing and see people as the same no matter how different. A.K.A cartoon just keeps the pencil tips in themselves, and so happy tenth A.K.A!

–Noach Melnicove from Rosh Pinna, Isreal:‘I love your show, I llove it so much that I remember all of the episodes and I can watch it in my head!’

–Beau Richards from Coon Rapids MN:‘I’m 12 and I’ve been watching this fantastic show for 4 years now,and since then I’ve been also waiting for the up coming seasons to so I cant wait and you fans out there I hope your the same way too Okay how should I put this…Ed,Edd n Eddy SCORES.So let me leave you with three words -Happy 10th Anniversary!’

–Marie:‘Thanks for making Ed, Edd n Eddy, Mr Danny! May your cookies be plenty and your monkies be few. Hooray for the Eds and 2 new seasons! WooHoo!’

–Brittani from Aurora,Co:‘I love Ed,Edd n Eddy I love then just like I love nsync. My favorite of the Eds is Edd and Nazz.I think Nazz is just like me – I mean we’re both blonde! So that is I have to say, I love Ed,Edd n Eddy!’

–Heather Huddleston:‘I have to say that I have never laughed harder at any other show than Ed Edd n Eddy. It’s the best… way to go!’

a.k.a. CARTOON

Q: Who’s the genius behind the Eds?

A: In two words, animation ace Danny Antonucci. In another three words his company – a.k.a. CARTOON Inc. In many more words, there are lots of folks who work on Ed, Edd n Eddy, you can click to have a look at the credits for the show here

Q: Does a.k.a. know about Edtropolis?

A: Yep, they sure do!  It and its sister site, Animation by Mistake, both have Danny Antonucci’s full approval and our official message board even gets the occasional visit from the guys at AKA. Rest assured too that although they might not always say much, they do monitor the site closely for fan feedback and reactions.   You can check out what various a.k.a. members have said about Edtropolis (formerly the Eddzone) here

Q: Does a.k.a. have an official website?

A: As of this writing, no, they don’t. Hey, they’re too busy making the Eds movie for us to enjoy! =)

Q: So where can I find out about Danny and a.k.a.?

A: Well, you could do worse than visit our other website dedicated to them: Animation by Mistake.  It was built with collaboration from Danny and many others at a.k.a.; on it you can read interviews with many of the writers, animators, voice actors, etc., and learn about the hard work that goes into making the Eds. You can access AbM here, or via the link on Edtropolis’ main menu.

Q: I want to send a.k.a. some fanmail; do you know their address?

A: How do you want to send your fanmail?

If you’d like to email a.k.a., you should write to yak@akacartoon.com – of course PLEASE be polite and DO NOT send them forwards, spam, or other junk.

For regular post you can write to the address below but please mark your envelope clearly with the words ‘fan mail;’ this makes it easier to split from the company’s business mail and means that your letter can be forwarded to the relevant department more quickly:

a.k.a. CARTOON Inc,

# 202-55 East Cordova Street,

Vancouver, BC,

V6A 0A5,

Canada

Again, don’t send junk mail or make unreasonable requests, demands for freebies, etc., and please – be polite!

Q: Will I get a reply?

A: Well obviously we can’t say for certain! In part it depends on what you’re saying or asking and please bear in mind that a.k.a. is an incredibly busy company so don’t be disappointed if you don’t hear back.  But no matter what, I can assure you that Danny and Co really do appreciate hearing from their fans we’ve seen the huge books of fanmail they keep at the studio to prove it!

Q: I’m a big fan of the actor who voices (one of the EEnE characters); do you know where I can contact him/her?

A: Okay, as ever people, when writing in please be polite and don’t make a nuisance of yourselves. These are contact addresses to send fanmail (not junk or spam or stupid demands) via their agents of the voice actors who supply the tonal lilts for the 3 Eds:

ED (Matt Hill) c/o The Characters, 200 – 1505 W. 2ND Ave. Vancouver BC, V6H 3Y4, Canada

EDD (Samuel Vincent) c/o Lucas Talent, 100 W. Pender St. Vancouver BC, V6B 1R8 Canada

EDDY (Tony Sampson) c/o Carrier Talent, 1260 Hornby St. Vancouver BC, V6Z 1W2 Canada

We also have the addresses of a few of your other favourite characters although at this point we’re still working on the rest for now, though, you can mail the following actors at the addresses below:

SARAH/LEE (Janyse Jaud) c/o Magical Voice Productions, 1755 Robin Street, Suite 605 Vancouver BC V6G 3B7 Canada

MAY/NAZZ (from S2 onwards)(Erin Fitzgerald) c/o H.M. Peterson Talent, 7471 Schaefer Ave, Richmond BC, V6Y 2W7 Canada

Please be sure to clearly mark your envelope ‘fan mail’ so it gets forwarded to the correct department.  And finally remember that actors lead busy and varied lives so they may not have time to answer all their mail personally; if you do get a response then lucky you ^^ think of it as a big bonus!

Ed, Edd n Eddy

Q: When and where did Ed, Edd n Eddy premiere?

A: In the US, Ed, Edd n Eddy premiered on Cartoon Network in January 1999, and in the UK & Europe it premiered on March 1999 on CN – UK/Europe.Today it airs in dozens of countries and is translated into many different languages including British Sign Language.

Q: Have you got a list of the episodes in Season 1/2/3/4 etc.?

A: Of course, just check out our Episode Guides (linked from the main menu) There’s a page for each season, on which you’ll find an episode list and brief synopsis of each.  Once you’re there you can also click on any episode to get a longer description, quotes, screen grabs and favourite moments!

Q: Do you know when the next season / episode is going to come out?

A: If we do, it’ll be up on our News Page here so check there for the most up-to-date information. You might also want to check out the TV Schedule forum on Earth to Edd to see what episodes will be playing over the next week or so.  Please note that we usually only have this information for the U.K. and U.S. this is partly because this is where we’re based, partly because the majority of our visitors are come from these countries and partly because there are so many Cartoon Networks around the world today that it just gets too hard to maintain schedule information for all of them.  If your country isn’t represented here you might be able to find information on your regional Cartoon Network website.

Q: What’s under Edd’s hat? / Where did Eddy’s brother go? / Where’s Rolf from? / When is EEnE set? / etc.?

A: We get these types questions a lot, and while we all have our own guesses and opinions the truth is we don’t know for certain any more than you do. You can check out the interviews on Animation by Mistake to see what some of the folks from a.k.a. have to say but don’t expect a truly concrete answer even from them. After all, part of the fun of Ed, Edd n Eddy is speculating on the many and varied “mysteries” of the cul-de-sac and knowing that your answer is just as valid as anybody else’s admit it, you wouldn’t really want to know any of these for certain, would you?

If you’d like to discuss these and other EEnE topics with your fellow Eds-fans, why not join Earth to Edd, Edtropolis’ official message board?  Rest assured you can find plenty of ongoing discussions about these sorts of matters so sign up and jump right in!

Q: How old are the Eds?

A: Well, to be honest we don’t know this one for certain, either however, in Season 1′s ‘A Pinch to Grow an Ed’ we can see by the growth chart markings on Eddy’s wall that he’s at least 12, and in Season 4′s ‘Your Ed Here,’ Eddy’s got an ID card in his wallet that also puts his age at 12 (at least at the time that ID card was made!).  Between that and things like Edd’s comment about “puberty opening [Eddy's] door to adulthood” in S3′s ‘Ed Marks the Spot,’ it’s probably safe to say the Eds are around 12 or so but again, a.k.a. has never expressly stated this so your guess is as good as ours!

Ed, Edd n Eddy Merchandise

Q: What kind of Ed, Edd n Eddy merchandise is available now?  Where can I get it?

A: Obviously this will continue to change so instead of providing a concrete and easily-outdated answer, we recommend you check out our News page, where we’ll keep you updated on any major Eds merchandise “breakthroughs.” You might also want to check out your regional Cartoon Network website. In the US, Cartoon Network has an Online Shop where you can see what Eds-gear is available now.

Q: Will any new merchandise be coming out? Every other toon on CN seems to have loads!

A: Agreed, the merchandise for the Eds has been paltry to say the least! Don’t give up hope yet, though.

Q: Cool! So whom do I write to if I want to ask about more merchandise being made available?

Cartoon Network’s Customer Service Department says we can contact them to ask for more Eds merchandise via email at shop@cartoonnetwork.com – or by sending a letter to the following address:

Cartoon Network

Customer Service – USA

730 East Church St, Suite 19

Martinsville, VA 24112-5075

They also suggest using the Feedback Form in the Customer Service section of their (US-based) CartoonNetwork.com website as of this writing you can access it by clicking here and scrolling to the Feedback Form link on the left-hand side of the screen.  As always, please remember your manners when writing angry or insulting comments aren’t likely to help the cause!

Q: Are Ed, Edd n Eddy episodes available on DVD yet?

A: At time of update (Jan 2008) there are a slew of Eds DVDs available in the U.S. and also a few in the U.K   These include complete seasons so far Season 1 and 2), a couple of mixed season ‘shorts’ and some themed compilations with other CN toons. Hopefully there will be more to come including the release of seasons 3,4 & 5 and eventually the Eds movie too (currently still in production.) Stay tuned for further details and of course check out online stores such as Amazon and your regular stores such as Target etc!

BACK TO TOP

How many people does it take to make an episode of a.k.a.’s hit show Ed, Edd n Eddy? Well in addition to the obvious writers, producers and animators (not to mention of course the show’s creator) there are literally dozens of “behind the scenes” men and women working away.

Below you’ll find the names of most of the people involved in the making of Ed, Edd n Eddy – and some multi-talented names, you may notice, appear under more than one credit! Can’t be bad! It’s a lengthy list for sure but where would the show be without them all? Also the names on the list take into consideration people who have worked on the different season of the show right up to the latest special

Top-rated animation is not produced overnight & the gap between realisation and achieving the final finished product can stretch to quite some time – many months in fact. First of all the show’s writers have to come up with good premises for the individual episode’s plots which then have to be approved before being handed over to storyboard artists. The storyboard artists then set to work drawing out the episodes rather like a huge comic strip & often adding extra visual gags & other ad-libs along the way.

Both the writers and story boarders may have to re-write/re-draw the episode many times before it gets the final approval & green light. Once the script is ‘in the bag’ then the voices are recorded and the whole thing is sent off to Korea to be drawn, inked, animated and matched up with the soundtrack.

Sadly times have changed where the colouring part is concerned and from the Christmas special ‘Ed, Edd n Eddy’s Jingle Jingle Jangle’ onwards the Eds themselves are now being coloured digitally via computers. That’s progress for you, Ed Edd n Eddy was in fact the last cartoon to be still coloured by hand, something to be very proud of. But its not all doom and gloom as the show still proudly boasts its wonderful hand painted backgrounds.

Once the animating is done the episode returns home to a.k.a. for final approval, tidying up, editing … re-editing etc, for even at this stage there is much to be done and it’s not unusual for scenes to be chopped out, changed around or even re-made before Danny and a.k.a. CARTOON are satisfied. Yes, it may take a long time but is definitely well worth it!

Ed, Edd n Eddy itself premiered on Cartoon Network in the USA in January 1999 and followed on Cartoon Network UK, Europe & elsewhere in early March 1999 .
