You've Got Mail
A wonderful spring morning. Maybe a Saturday, you're home from work. Two things on the list to do today, get the mail and mow the lawn, no problem. Our stick takes the stroll to the mailbox to see what there is to see. What kind of things do you get in your mailbox? Bills? Junk mail? "Limited time" offers? I'll bet that's what our stick was expecting. Who is going to mow the lawn?

You've Got Mail


Indiana Jones
A classic in the genre. The high adventure, the stunning special effects, and suspenseful moments. Our stick doesn't let us down and holds true to the namesake of this inspired short. For the first time in this film we see the mysterious stick antagonist. His full identity is concealed by a rugged leather hat. It's the details like this that put this film in the running for "Best Costume". While watching this film, you have to ask yourself: Who is the stick in the hat? He's obviously skilled, but he does he make a mistake or was this on purpose?

Rear Window
Our stick seems to be looking for something, or maybe someone. He looks left, he looks right. I'm afraid that he doesn't find what he's looking for. It's such a timeless portrayal that it is bound to become an enduring classic. Reflecting back on the film, questions arise: Was this an accident? Was our stick alone in the room? Where exactly is this window and what does it overlook? Questions that can't be answered. It leaves you with an uneasy feeling, who can you trust?

Rear Window


Jaws
Is the water safe? I wouldn't bet on it. Our little stick man goes for a swim anyhow. From the title, we can imagine what is to come, but the little swimmer seems plenty content to get his workout. A classic example of man vs. nature, who is destined to rule the seas?

Karate Kid
An epic battle, the final confrontation. Our stick is finally confronted on even ground by his mysterious nemesis. No whips or tricks this time. It's hand-to-hand combat to the very end. The mysterious stick has his headband and is prepared for battle. Our stick has to think fast in order to vanquish his enemy. This film is full of details that add to the realism of stick combat, you can tell that the sticks in this film have studied and practiced long and hard in order to bring this masterpiece to us.

why are the movies so small?
They're small (and short) because they were originally developed for display on web-enabled cell phones. But this kind of action and drama should not be restricted to the "gadgeterati." Now everyone can enjoy stick figure head removal!
