Know this is after Christmas, consider this a very late Christmas gift. First review on an Ed, Edd, N Eddy episode, The Christmas special, "Jingle Jingle Jangle." The show itself is funny, has a cool animation style and is filled with fun characters with their own personalities. The Christmas special is about Eddy, unsatisfied with getting clothes for Christmas, going to other kid's houses to get good presents. The Kankers follow a light and the other Edds try to teach Eddy a lesson.

The animation is really fun and great. Whether it's in the slapstick comedy or the backgrounds, it includes the houses of Johnny, Rolf, Nazz and Jimmy on how they celebrate Christmas. Speaking of the houses between these characters, the plot is great; whether it's Eddy going to the different houses or the Kankers acting like the 3 Wise men and collecting things. The humor normal for the show is hilarious with its slapstick humor and dialogue.

The characters here are great (or at least in character), and serve their roles well. Includes Eddy being greedy even after doing something good, Edd acting like an angel who wants to help, Ed being a hilarious idiot. The Christmas traditions of Johnny having the insides of his house made out of ice, Rolf's house filled with meat, Nazz's house being like a normal Christmas house (tree, presents and table), Jimmy's house being full of baked sweets including a gingerbread village. Them (except for Rolf who Eddy just left) understandably kicking Eddy out when he messes up. All the kids I talked above also including Sarah and Kevin being happy about the Christmas tree being lit by Eddy.

The problems include: all 3 Edds (even if Eddy is the only one who did any wrong) locked with the Kankers who "do things to them" at the end; more of the show's issue than the special itself. Also even after Eddy lit up the tree, he was still greedy and took everyone's presents. It's understandable for his character, but the special wouldn't change much if he stops his selfishness. The biggest flaw is it only got really great towards the second half.

Overall Ed, Edd, N Eddy's "Jingle, Jingle Jangle'' is a fun Christmas special that stays true to the show. Shows cool traditions of different characters, an interesting plot of Eddy looking for good presents, hilarious humor like the slapstick humor and even getting heartwarming, with the tree being lit and Santa dropping presents to all the kids. This gets a 9/10. Also I hoped you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
