Thumbtanic
A story of Thumbs. A story of love. A story of a very poorly steered ship.
A lighthearted parody that replaces Titanic's cast with anthropomorphic thumbs, prioritizing absurdist humor and nostalgic reference over dramatic weight.
Short-subject movie parodies with casts completely comprised of the digits. Released in 1999, Thumbtanic gives the thumb-treatment to James Cameron's box-office and Oscar juggernaut Titanic and features the voice talents of Mary Jo Keenan and Mark DeCarlo, among others.
