The Eddsworld Legacy (documentary)

Eddsworld Documentary (also known as The Eddsworld Legacy (documentary)) is a 40-minute long documentary covering the history of Eddsworld and Eddsworld: Legacy. It features interviews with many of the cast and crew, including archival footage of Edd Gould. It was uploaded to Tom's second channel, TomSka and Friends, on March 15, 2016, one day just before the release of The End (Part 2.)

This documentary was written and edited by Elliot Gough, and was produced in conjunction with the Eddsworld: Legacy season. Those who donated to the fundraiser would be able to watch it a week before it was officially released.

Trivia

 * According to Thomas Ridgewell in the comments on the video: "This was originally a perk for the IndieGoGo donators promising to give a small behind-the-scenes look into how we ran Eddsworld: Legacy and kept the show going after Edd passed away. Over time, it grew into this 40-minute-marathon and I decided it'd be cool to release it to the public too. But since it's all about us and what we've done, I figured it would be better suited on my channel instead of Edd's."
 * Tom states that his favorite line in Eddsworld is what he says to Eduardo when on his doorstep in Hammer & Fail (Part 2, Rooftop Rumble).
 * The clip of Edd's Lost Lines (when he pulls the shark out of the tank) is animated by Billy Crinion.
 * Tom states that the voice changer gag in Space Face (Part 2) was thought of by him and Paul the day before Edd died.
 * Tom said he had approached fellow YouTuber Khyan Mansley to voice Edd after his death, but he turned down the offer, saying that he didn't want the responsibility.
 * Tom got upset with Edd for animating his character getting an erection in Tom's Tales of Brilliance and still remains annoyed by it to this day.
 * When the screenshot of Macromedia Flash 8 appears, the caption reads "Crash so hard they call it bandicoot", a reference to the Crash Bandicoot series of games.
