Ed, Edd, n Eddy was the last major television show to retain traditional cel animation.

Very neat, I had no idea they were the last ones to use cell animation!

I read the entire article and I still can’t make sense of the title. Did I miss something? What was the trend that had ended?

Cel animation was the last old school analog animation technique and Ed Edd n' Eddy was the last cartoon to hold on to it on the insistance of the creator

Once they switched in 2005 all cartoons became digitally animated

Thanks for the clarification, my brain wasn’t comprehending “84-year animation trend” and cel animation techniques that was the predominant technique and basically the only way cartoons were made. Guess I wasn’t really considering “they way it’s done” as a trend.
