At first thought it was slightly creepy, as expected, but in the first few seconds 'Thumbs' joined the top of my list of media to watch! I love the uncanny imagination and humor, and taking so many opportunities to amuse the audience by letting them notice personalities and characteristics about people we've seen in our own lives, in these crazy circumstances! The perfectly timed pause to 'take in' the eye and mouth expressions, the voices, the incredible props in these mini movies, are a delight. Let me just admit this. It was hard to decide whether to laugh out loud, deeply appreciate the cleverness, or just be amazed at the whole thing! I didn't want to be overwhelmed by one quality or I might overlook the other. Mostly I laughed. Family and friends watch them repeatedly. As a semi professional in media, I am also amazed at the production values. Everything about this is excellent and meets Hollywood's tough quality standards for theatrical release. This is not a surprise considering the fact that Steve Oedekerk did these pieces. This work is every bit as good as his nationally released feature length 'Kung-Pow', and like that incredibly clever and skillfully created film, sets the bar higher for future film makers. For those who have not had the time, or lacked the mild courage, to become familiar with Steve's work, I tell you he really earned his dedicated fans. He's one of those independent risk takers that you go out and watch whatever he makes, and know you won't be disappointed. In that sense it's like watching a new episode of The Honeymooners with jackie Gleason. If you have any sense of humor at all and like to watch a really funny guy take a whack at some movies you loved, you're in luck! Even if you never saw those movies and want a short summarized version of them, watch Thumbs!Read full review
I bought this box set for my kids because they are sooo cute! They are funny & stupid in their own sort of way, but it's all clean humor so the whole family can watch & enjoy them. There's thumbthing for everyone in this 6 DVD box set from writer/director Steve Oedekerk (Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, Jimmy Neutron, Ace Ventura)! Includes "Bat Thumb" (2001, 28 min.) - Super hero Wuce Bane and his sidekick Blue Jay must save Gaaathumb City from the evil, despicable, and poorly dressed "No Face." "The Blair Thumb" (2001, 28 min.) - A clever tale about three thumbs who encounter terror during their search for the truth behind The Blair Thumb. "Frankenthumb" (2002, 32 min.) - Gasp as a deceased Thumb is brought back to life in this outrageous spoof of the gothic horror classic. "The Godthumb" (2002, 31 min.) - A gripping tale of true crime mixed with sensationalistic falsehoods and wrapped in vicious mobster stereotypes. Don't fuhgeddaboudit! "Thumb Wars" (1999, 29 min.) - Reluctant hero Loke Groundrunner and his tasty companion Princess Bunhead battle Black Helmet Man and the Evil Thumbpire! "Thumbtanic" (1999, 27 min.) - They thought nothing on earth could come between them. Then, they hit an iceberg... Everyone loves a parody, but no parody surmounts to a cast of dressed-up thumbs with goofy animated faces. And once the initial awe of this wears off, the movies pack a lot of off-the-wall humor and clever dialogues to boot. If you aren't a fan of stupid or bizarre humor, this may not be for you. There is no new content in the box set, but this makes a great gift or starter collection (especially at the... price)and each of these films is a must-have for lovers of parody and offbeat humor. After you're done watching the films, be sure to catch the "cast interviews" and additional features, many of which are as funny or more so than the films.Read full review

When people say something is 'laugh your @%$# off' funny I'm always sceptical, but this truely qualifies. And not only that. The whole family can watch it and it NEVER STOPS BEING FUNNY!
Very satisfied. These movies are so silly you can't watch them without totally cracking up. I think it's the exagerated sound effects and the goofy voice overs. Gotta have more!
