And also of note: the WORLD PREMIERE of comedian/writer/film director <a href="http://www.ochannel.com/room/">Steve Oedekerk's</a> <b>THUMBTANIC</b>. Steve's previous thumb-animated films "Thumb Wars" and "The Blair Thumb" have gone over hugely with fans ("must-haves" for any animated DVD collectors), and the release of "Thumbtanic" is something fans have been anticipating for quite some time.
