Little Stick Big History

One little stickman. Every big moment in history.

Little Stick Big History tells true stories from the past in under a minute. Our stickman, Stick, steps into the moment: keeping a lighthouse lit through a winter storm, hauling stone for the pyramids, crossing the sea in a Viking longship, waiting in a WW1 trench.

Each Short asks "what was it really like?" and ends with a fact you'll want to tell someone. Every story is researched and true. Where history isn't sure, we say so.
