The premier DVD of one of Cartoon Network?s hottest commodities is a compilation of six Ed, Edd n Eddy episodes from its debut 1999 season, brandishing its unique style of adolescent schtick from creator Danny Antonucci ("Lupo the Butcher," "The Brothers Grunt"). School?s out and this trio of Eds are beating the heat in the best way they know how: concocting their next scam while avoiding life?s greatest mystery--girls. Whether babysitting Ed?s demanding sister in "Sir Ed-a-lot," or contending for the best swimming hole in "Hot-Buttered Ed," these musketeers of puberty always get the last word. The best of the bunch is "Avast Ye Eds," where the boys launch their newest entrepreneurial endeavor, "Eddy?s Creek Cruise Line" only to come under attack by a racy raft of pirates, the Kanker Sisters ("Alas, the sea is a cruel mistress"). Antonucci?s gag-driven cartoons are well-crafted animations replete with witty dialogue, vibrant colors, and creative storylines, hinting at influences as far-reaching as Buster Keaton, Hal Roach, Mack Sennett, Vaudeville, and "The Three Stooges."
