THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION

CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB

Ed, Edd n Eddy is an animated comedy series created by Danny Antonucci, focusing on three friends who share variations of the name Edward. Ed is the dim-witted muscle, Edd (Double D) is the intelligent inventor, and Eddy is the quick-tempered con artist. They reside in a cul-de-sac, often devising schemes to get money to buy jawbreakers, which usually end in failure. The show is known for its unique animation style, using "boiling lines" and traditional cel animation. The series is influenced by classic cartoons from the 1940s to 1970s and has a soundtrack that draws on 1930s and 1940s jazz and jump blues. The show was very popular, airing in 120 countries.

CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

The personalities of the main characters, Ed, Edd, and Eddy, were based on the creator Danny Antonucci's own traits, as well as the activities of his two sons. Additionally, the cul-de-sac children and the Kanker sisters were inspired by children he grew up with.

The show's animation style, which features "boiling lines" or shimmering outlines, was inspired by cartoons from the 1930s and is created by tracing drawings multiple times. This technique gives the animation a distinctive and spontaneous feel, as if drawn by children.

Danny Antonucci was dared to create a children's cartoon, having previously produced edgy, adult-oriented works. He initially pitched the show to Nickelodeon, who declined because they wouldn't give him creative control.
