It's every YouTuber's dream to turn their creative video clips on the popular video site into a larger project and for MondoMedia, that dream is coming to life. According to The Los Angeles Times, its stick figure cartoon series "Dick Figures" will be made into a film for digital release.

"Dick Figures" uses minimal artistic effort, age-old fart jokes, and a plethora of other hilariously immature antics for its series.

The friendship between its most prominent characters, Red and Blue, is the focus of the upcoming film. Also advertised by its trailer are raccoons, explosions, and French stick figures. 

To help fund "Dick Figures: The Movie," its filmmakers launched a $300,000 campaign on Kickstarter a year ago.

The 73-minute film will be released on September 17th, though it is not yet clear how it will be released.

Watch its trailer below and decide for yourself if the stick figures deserve a movie deal, or if this full-length idea will flop.
