Dick Figures: The Movie

During childhood, a young, socially awkward stick figure named Blue begins his first year in kindergarten. Broseph, a 5th grader who was held back five years to kindergarten, and his 5th-grade bullies begin to beat up Blue for being in their playground. A red asteroid collides with Broseph, killing him. An extraterrestrial stick figure named Red emerges and beats up all the 5th graders. Blue thanks him and promises him that he will always be his friend. A montage plays, showing Red being manipulative to Blue from elementary school to college.

In the present day, Red and Blue, now adults, are still best friends, living together as roommates, with their girlfriends, Stacy and Pink, respectively. When Pink's birthday approaches, Blue lies about getting her the best birthday gift ever, knowing he hasn't gotten her anything. Red suggests that they go see the Raccoon at his pawn shop to get a gift for 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 fought the army, but fell into a rage when he saw his wife swallowed by Ocho Muerte, a large octopus. After the battle, The Raccoon realized that he destroyed all of Japan while in a rage. 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.

Red and Blue arrive in Japan, meeting with the Raccoon's son, Son-san. They are directed towards a mountain and discover 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 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 has 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 and Red, shipwrecked on a paradise island, are rescued in a plane by alcoholic British pilot Captain Crookygrin, who has been sent to stop them from finding the Sword of Destiny. 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 Tourettes distracts the police. Red and Blue return home 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 volcano where the jewel rests. Takagami reunites the jewel with the Sword, and has Blue thrown into the lava. Red and Raccoon arrive just in time and 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 nearly eats Pink, but not before Blue rescues her with the Sword. Blue nearly falls off a ledge, but Red pulls him up to safety. The Sword falls into Ocho Muerte's mouth and kills him in an explosion of light.

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. Red and Blue celebrate their successful quest.
