Dick Figures: The Movie

In a world populated by Stick figures, Red, a hyperactive party-animal extraterrestrial Stick figure, and Blue, an average socially awkward stick figure, are two best friends, living together as roommates. Blue is with Pink as her boyfriend. When her birthday is approaching, Blue lies to Pink about getting her the best birthday gift ever, but he hasn't gotten her anything. Red suggests that they go see the Raccoon (Papa-san) at his pawn shop for a gift to get Pink.

The Raccoon tells them a story of when he lived in ancient Japan. His village fell under attack by Lord Takagami and his demon army. Raccoon, armed with the Sword of Destiny, single-handedly fights the army, but falls into rage when he sees his wife get swallowed by Ocho Muerte, a large octopus. After the battle, Papa-san realized that he destroyed all of Japan while in a rage; for this he was banished by his kinsmen, never to return. If Blue finds the Sword and returns it to him, he will give Blue the perfect gift for Pink.

Hitching a ride on a booze cruise, Red and Blue arrive in Japan, meeting with the Raccoon's son, Son-san. They are directed towards a mountain, discovering the hilt of the Sword and a large map with the locations of the other pieces, the blade and a jewel. Their retrieval of the hilt awakens Takagami and his ninjas, who give chase. The duo escapes out to sea on a rowboat, and they eventually end up in the middle of nowhere during an approaching storm. Red later reveals that the reason for beating up the 5th graders back when they first met was to impress Pink and the girls, inadvertently admitting that he's never thought of Blue as his friend. Betrayed by this revelation, Blue fights with him, angrily stating that their friendship is over. Lightning strikes their boat and a large wave sweeps them away.

Blue wakes up to discover that he and Red have been shipwrecked on a paradise island. They are rescued in a plane by alcoholic British pilot Captain Crookygrin, who has been sent to stop them from finding the Sword of Destiny. Luckily, Crookygrin has alcohol blindness, and cannot recognize them from pictures. They fly to Paris, but are suddenly attacked by Takagami's ninjas. Blue fends them off with the plane's machine gun, however they crash, with Crookygrin being mortally injured. They are told to find the blade of the Sword at the Eiffel Tower, and head into a restaurant where they find their friend Lord Tourettes. Outside, Mr. Dingleberry directs the police to follow them, who is revealed to have been taking orders from Takagami under promise of a reward, but is killed instead. The French police chase Red, Blue and Tourettes to the Eiffel Tower, where Blue unites the hilt with the blade while Lord Tourettes distracts the police. Red and Blue return to their hometown to find the jewel that goes with the blade.

Pink's birthday party has started, and Red abandons Blue to go partying, much to Blue's frustration. Blue decides to finish the quest alone, only to be captured by Takagami and taken to a nearby mountain/volcano where the jewel rests. Takagami reunites the jewel with the Sword, and has Blue thrown into the lava. Red and Raccoon arrive quickly and then a battle ensues with Red and Blue fighting the ninjas while the Raccoon fights Takagami with the Sword of Destiny. Cutting off his mask, Raccoon discovers that Father-san is Takagami's real identity. Raccoon beheads him, and his remains fall into the lava, but his head transforms into Ocho Muerte, who heads off to attack their town.

Blue, Red, and Raccoon arrive at Pink's party before Ocho Muerte can hurt Pink. Ocho Muerte devours the Raccoon and is about to eat Pink too, but not before Blue rescues her with the Sword. Blue hangs over a ledge with Red holding him and the Sword, and Red pulls Blue up to safety. The Sword falls into Ocho Muerte's mouth and kills him in an explosion of light.

As the dust settles, Red apologizes to Blue for the years of torment he gave him, with Blue accepting his apology. They find Raccoon alive, as well as his wife Mama-san. He reveals that he sent Blue and Red on the quest ultimately to rescue his wife, while also making their friendship stronger. In return for Blue's bravery, Mama-san gives Blue and Pink the lotus flower that Papa-san once gave to her, blessing their love for each other. The movie ends with Red saying: 'CUZ WE'RE AWESOME! and him and Blue High-fiving.
