The Eddsworld Fan Movie is a cancelled film adaptation of the popular web series Eddsworld created by British animator Edd Gould. The project was originally started by Marc Lovallo who announced its production in 2013. Through its own dedicated YouTube channel that provided updates on its progress, it received support from fans of Eddsworld, and even official crew members of eddsworld such as Matt Hargreaves, Thomas Ridgewell, and Eddie Bowley.
Originally, the film was first planned to be released in 2014 to celebrate the series' 10th anniversary, only to be delayed several times. In 2020, the film was cancelled after seven years of work.
Plot[]
After a space vessel is launched by an American space center, Commander Bai and his crew crash-land at the corner of Dirdum Lane. General McCoy takes advantage and threatens to kill the aliens or else he will start a war with them. It is now up to Edd and his crew to stop the alien invasion.[1]
Cancellation[]
Reasons for the fan fim's cancellation include:
- Taking too long in production.
- Lack of a proper story to follow on, causing the script to be rewritten several times.
- Director Marc Lovallo stepping down and being replaced as team lead by Jon Lopez, who would also later step down and be replaced by Piptoons.
- Marc being exposed on TikTok for grooming minors in a fetishistic roleplay prior to the announcement of the film's cancellation.
- Piptoons also being exposed for cases of grooming and asking for pictures, and leaving the internet indefinitely.
Results[]
- An animatic of Marc's cut of the film was leaked by a member of the crew during his exposing, where it received mixed to negative reviews due to its overuse of references and several jokes that were deemed homophobic.
- A Google drive folder of all the production pieces was released publicly by the films co-director Colin.
- An attempted reconstruction of Pip's cut of the film using clips from the drive folder and the leaked Marc cut was released on YouTube.
