Dick Figures The Movie is a 2013 independent animated comedy adventure film, written, produced, directed by and starring Ed Skudder and Zack Keller, produced by the small-business Six Point Harness animation studio and distributed by Mondo Media. It is Mondo's first animated feature-length production and Six Point Harness' first original feature film. The film was released for rent and purchase on September 17, 2013 on digital download and streaming services including iTunes, Google Play, Vudu and "Yekra", an all-new movie watching site for indie films. The film was then released a week later on iTunes in the UK, Ireland, Australia & New Zealand.
The film was split into 12 different chapters and published onto YouTube by Mondo. $313,411 was raised through the mass-funding platform, Kickstarter from 5,616 backers (including Warren Graff, Fred Seibert, Gundarr creators Corey McDaniel & Ted Wilson, amongst others) through May 31 to July 16, 2012, out of originally a $250,000 goal, breaking the record for the most funded animation project through the site, until it was surpassed by Blur Studio's The Goon (an upcoming computer-animated adaptation to Eric Powell's graphic novel series of the same name) on November 2012. Dick Figures The Movie successfully had a theatrical debut at the Buffer Festival in Toronto on November 9, 2013[10] and it is now to meet it's first commercial release for DVD and Blu-ray in the United States on December 3, 2013.
Plot
Dick Figures The Movie tells the story of best friends, Red (Ed Skudder) and Blue (Zack Keller), who journey around the world hunting down The Great Sword of Destiny. Instead of finding the sword, Blue discovers that Red was never his friend at all. Back when they were kids, Red beat up a bunch of bullies not to save Blue’s life… but to impress all the girls! Now the two friends turned enemies are stuck together in the worst situations imaginable: evading Demon Ninjas, island-hopping in WWII bombers, dodging booby trapped temples, and escaping the French police in a high-speed motorcycle chase all the while at each other’s throats. Not only must Blue get home in time for Pink’s (Shea Logsdon) birthday party, but together Red and Blue have to work together to save the world… and their friendship
