Everything about Thumbs totally explained
Thumbs! is a collective term for the
O Entertainment short films created by
Steve Oedekerk using "Thumbation" technology, a process which combines live-action
thumbs and
CGI faces. The first short,
Thumb Wars, was created as a television special and spawned the rest of the series.
Each filmette is available on DVD, with exclusive extra footage on the
Thumb Wars/Thumbtanic Double Feature. The entire series is available in a box set called
All Thumbs, which doesn't include the
Double Feature.
An ongoing joke in the series is the appearance of a one-eyed thumb, who appears in each filmette to give his signature line of 'eh-hoo'.
