“Tell you that the story begins...”
This is actually how Ed starts off his story. The previous line was Edd suggesting that Ed be the ‘wife’ because he’s taller. He must have really wanted to get his friends attention so he could tell his story.
As Ed goes on to tell his friends about the premise of the movie, he gives us an extreme close up of his face taking viewers into his eyes.
Literally.
I actually really like this animation sequence to come. It’s a chance to get inside Ed’s thoughts and we how he views the world. He’s the oldest of the Eds. Edd and Eddy look up to him. Ed noticed this in the earlier seasons but then it gradually starts to diminish. Ed confidence drains due to the increased drama happening at home.
The fandom states that Ed is smarter in the first season. I’ll admit that he was a different person. Why did the writers flanderize his character over time into a dimwitted boy who counts on Edd and Eddy for everything?
That’s because Ed starts to believe the offscreen negative insults his mother throws at him. He believes that he is useless, dumb, and then nobody needs him. That’s why he fears Edd and Eddy are only friends with him because of his name.
Ed regains his confidence in the movie. He defeats Eddy’s Brother. By taking charge Ed actually finds his season 1 self and stands up for his friends, even running in front of the blood thirsty kids who he thought were going to murder Eddy.
Even though Ed doesn’t have the most screen time in Big Picture Show he goes through quite the inner journey. He is also the hero in the end.
These tree grey globs morph into two humans in space suits.
“...with three space outlaws, who crash-land on a robot planet."
Wow.
For season 1 this is not bad at all! The art, texture, the three ambiguous space men. It looks like we’re in a different show.
Are these what the offscreen adults look like? Since we saw Bro in BPS he was tall. All kids see adults as tall because they’re authoritative figures. It’s funny because I’m 23, 5′1 and kids don’t believe me. Adults don’t have to be tall. Kids will figure that out as time goes.
There is this in between echange where each Ed describe various echanges about the movie.
Edd: "Amazing!"
Ed: "Shock-O-Rama."
Eddy: "R-rated."
I miss when the Eds did that. I know season 1 was setting up the Eds overall friendship and I like how they show the gradual tension. No friendship is perfect. And you can tell that the Eds miss their friendship in the later seasons and their old selves. They’re regaining their friendship and original personas in what would have been a full season 6, but mostly the movie.
Then Ed lets go of the handlebars as he entertains his friends and bikes at the same time. Why weren’t there more episodes with Ed biking?!
"And they have to fight off the robots, but, they also must try to escape back to earth, or the robots will grind their bones to bits."
I love how none of the Eds, even Edd, doesn’t noticed that they have veered off course and are hiding into dangerous territory.
Does anyone find this little cliff familiar? Watch the car chase in Big Picture Show because this looks like the hill where the Eds bounce over in the car.
Childhood/Ignorance is bliss.
"When the three spacemen lose control of their ship, and hurtle into a field of asteroids–”
“...that almost crush them into space dust.”
“They're sucked–"
"–into a dimensional time portal that transports them to the robot planet."
Such cool animation! You have to go watch this scene! It is awesome!
Everytime I see a toaster with that design I am reminded of The Brave Little Toaster.
Poor Eddy gets smacked in the head with a pipe. He still never won. Then again this was before writers gave him all the bad luck.
“And the heroes find their ship destroyed.”
Poor Ed’s bike. It gets demolished again in season 2.
The camera pans one of eene’s most popular setting: The Junkyard. The characters usually come to this spot so they can vent or hang out. I miss when they hung out here in the later seasons. The movie set a great finale for the junkyard with the famous car chase.
So speaking of which, the Eds are still in Peach Creek. They blindly biked quite a ways. Since their journey’s length is exaggerated in Big Picture Show what if they went around in a complete circle? They drove passed what looks like an old factory. It must be a different factory compared to the one the Eds explore in the movie. Then again, it does have a reminiscent design.
The team of Ed, Edd n Eddy never knew they were going to make a movie. And this scene plays a great example on what of my theories. Kids don’t pay attention to the world, to direction, nor to maps. The Eds are blind to what is going on around them, even Edd. They’re so busy dreaming off into this fantasy that it’s possible they went around in a circle right back into Peach Creek.
Here’s one of our most popular Eds season 1 screenshots.
What are they looking at?
A shadow!
Is anyone else reminded of the song ‘Worthless’ from The Brave Little Toaster?
“COOOOOL!”
“NOT COOL! NOT COOL!”
Why did the Eds stop saying that in unison?
