Zack Keller and Ed Skudder have, after setting up a Kickstarter campaign, and lots of hard work, finally released the long awaited "Dick Figures:The Movie" for fans of the web series.

Compared the the Mondo web series "dick figures" on Youtube, it has an improved animation style. The backgrounds are more detailed, helping make the surroundings feel more lively. The fight scenes in this film are excellently animated, and fans will definitely not be disappointed by these.

The film however does have some shortcomings. The writing style is reminiscent of the web series, and while the type of humor works well for short animations on Youtube, it is less suited for an animation with a 72 minute running time. However, it did have its fair share of funny moments, and some might even make you laugh.

The main characters of the web series, namely Red and Blue, do have some more depth to them, as compared to the web series. Blue in particular grows as an individual throughout the events of the movie. The conflict between the two also makes their relationship seem more dynamic, as opposed to static, as it is in the web series. While a static relationship is more suited for a short web series, a dynamic one is much better suited for a film, and this is one of the areas where it really shines.

To conclude, the film has its ups and downs. The fighting scenes (the car chase scene in Paris in particular) have been animated very well, and are very entertaining. The conflict between Red and Blue adds some much needed depth. However, it still has the feel of a web series, due to slapstick humor, flat background characters, and it being slightly too random at times.

At times, it feels like they bit off more than they could chew.

Dick figures the movie is based to Dick figures an amazing web series that is now cancelled and it's quite a shame.

This movie tells a crazy story, that doesn't make very sense but it's totally with the vibes of the series so it's kind of okay even if some things could be better about the plot.

Red and Blue are two friends that are pretty different and not very in the same way of living and thinking. Red is an alcohol addict, that likes chicks and he is very sexist and he is acting like a jerk and a teenager. Blue is more calm and serious than Blue but he can be really badass like in the end of the movie.

The movie opens with how Red and Blue met each other, so basically they met in Elementary school when they were 6. Red fought all people that were bullying Blue to maybe protect him? The first fight is really epic like all fights in the movie.

The plot is not perfect, is perfectly enjoyable but some points are pretty predictable, like the fight with Red and Blue. Everything is well executed but unfortunately it's a shame that the movie couldn't be longer because I would love to. The jokes are funny, stupid but funny, it's totally a movie to chill out after a hard day. I love watching it when I don't feel okay. The funniest scenes are with Lord Tourettes that curse a lot, oh geez he makes us laugh. There are a lot of clichés about Japan and France too but it fits with the humor and I think it was made in purpose like that. Some jokes are a little dated by the way.

The animation is really well made for a movie with like less than 20 animators. The facial expressions are really well done and the animation is kind of smooth, like the fight scenes and the chase scene in Paris for example. The backgrounds are well done even if sometimes they are simple, like during the chase. Yes it's really well done, good job for all the animation team.

The OST is amazing too, some musics are really good and funny like « Epic Montage ».

It's a very good movie made by the help of kickstarter. I even own the DVD and it's a really pleasure to watch it frequently. Like it !

Before this movie is watched it's important to remember what it is, namely a film geared at people familiar with the franchise.

By producing the film independently it contains the same humour, animation and production quality as the web series, but in a refreshingly new form. There's some notably well put-together scenes and the film as a whole was generally enjoyable to watch.

Turning a short web cartoon into a film could almost only go wrong but they have managed to pull it off.

It would be great to see where the series goes next for the pair, but let's see how this film rides out for them.
