Dick Figures: The Movie Breaks Out of YouTube

Red and Blue, the heroes of the hit animated YouTube series Dick Figures, are about to embark on their biggest adventure yet.

A few relevant stats about Dick Figures: Only a year and a half after its debut, Dick Figures is the most-viewed animated web series on YouTube. Produced by Los Angeles-based animation studio Six Point Harness, the forty episodes, spread across four seasons, have attracted over 120 million total views, 11 million new views per month and more than one million subscribers on the Mondo Media channel. And now, thanks to a successful run on Kickstarter [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dickfigures/dick-figures-the-movie] that raised more than $313,000, a 40(ish)-minute long Dick Figures: The Movie feature is ready for release.

Written and directed by Ed Skudder and Zack Keller, Dick Figures follows the adventures of Red and Blue, who have been best friends since Red came to Earth from space to save Blue from a gang of bullies on the first day of kindergarten. Now grown up, they embark upon an epic quest to buy an "uber-awesome" birthday gift for Blue's girlfriend Pink, but the plan goes awry when Blue learns that Red saved him not to be his friend, but just to impress the ladies. Now the best of friends are the worst of enemies as they race against time and the Takagami Demon Army to recover the Great Sword of Destiny - and maybe even their friendship - before everyone is killed!

Dick Figures: The Movie is available for a 72-hour rental for $4.99 right here on The Escapist (Check out the video below,) and may also be purchased outright from YouTube channel [http://www.amazon.com/Dick-Figures-The-Movie/dp/B00ESLO3XC/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1378232772&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=dick+figures+the+movie].

Dick Figures... sounds classy. Never heard of it, anybody here seen it?
I used to watch it a lot the past 2 years and then they slowed the show to a halt.

That was until I heard months ago that they were making a movie and I was quite over joyed and now that it's coming out today I now have something new to watch.

Still one of my favourite episodes just because of the gaming parodies.

Slow news day?

I have to say that it looks pretty naff. But given that it was spawned from the dark pits of Youtube I shouldn't be all that suprised. Now a Simon's Cat movie, that would be worth watching. As long as there was a dog or something, movies need dogs.

I would just say 'meh', but I've got enough warnings to last me a while, so I'll just pontificate and say that I seriously doubt I'll like the movie if I ever see it.

Out of curiosity I just watched the first three episodes and I wasn't impressed. I much prefer things like Element Animation. Now THAT is funny. Most of the time.

But, to each his own I guess.

Proud fan since day 1!!!
Totally awesome, as they riff on stuff that's second nature to probably anyone on this site all the time!!!

One episode even has "achievements" built in ^_^

Oh.

God!

Dick Figures!! I had totally forgotten about dick figures! And now there's a movie? Excellent news!

I still relentlessly quote this episode


(yes I know the episode is itself quoting Arnie films, but I quote it with Red's delivery "Ah'm loooking fuh Seearah Cahnnaaahh!")

lol! 1:28 of their kickstarter movie... I would have never guessed that plaid shirts would ever be a requirement to work somewhere. But apparently it's their uniform.
