Freaky Flickers: Quest for the Golden Flicker, based on the Freaky Flickers toyline, was a CGI animated film directed, written, and animated by Cary Howe. The film detailed the adventures of Aargh the Pirate and his crew of Flickers on a quest to find the "Golden Flicker" to pay off the debt of their creator, Doc Flick.

It began in 2005 as a possible television series but later developed into a 90-minute feature film around February 2009. It was lined up for distribution to at least 2,800 cinemas by MGM. A wide, major theatrical release for this sort of film is unusual since the film was written, directed, and animated by a single person on a budget of about $250,000.

On 9 June 2009, after Howe worked all night, he left David Kann (the editor) with the film in his living room and went to sleep. He awoke just before 8 pm to discover that the film, all film backups, and his film equipment had been stolen by his associate, Peter Gantner (a creator of the original toyline).

On a Cartoon Brew article about the theft a user under the name "Peter" posted a statement about the film, but this user's identity has not been identified.[1]
