Stick Figures (1998 film)

Stick Figures is a 1998 American computer-animated adventure comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation (in its debut film) and Pacific Data Images and released by DreamWorks Pictures. It was directed by Eric Darnell and Joe Johnston (in their feature directorial debuts) from a screenplay by Chris Weitz, Paul Weitz, and Tom McGrath. The film features the voices of Nathan Lane, Glenn Close, Susan Storm, Martin Short, Dean Edwards, Mike Myers and Norman Reedus. Some of the main characters share facial similarities with the actors who voice them. The film involves an anxious worker cyan stick figure, Cyan (Lane), who falls in love with Princess Pink (Close). When the treacherous scheming of the arrogant officer General Red (Edwards) threatens to wipe out the entire worker population, Cyan must save the stick colony from the flooded tunnel and strives to make social inroads.

Development began in 1988, when Columbia Pictures pitched a film called Stickly Sticks, about a pacifist worker stick teaching lessons of independent to his militaristic colony. TBD
