Storyline

Jake, a strapping young thumb, wins tickets to the biggest ship in the world, the Thumbtanic. Aboard the ship he meets Geranium, a tubby thumb from a wealthy family. Their forbidden love only drives them closer to one another, but the boat hits an iceberg, forcing the two to jump ship onto a lifeboat holding thousands of other thumb passengers stacked on top of one another because only two lifeboats were provided for the entire ship. When asked AbOUT her relationship with Jake after the tragedy, Geranium said that they broke up the very next day.

Running Gags

A reference to Thumb Wars appears while everyone is talking about the ship getting hit by an iceberg. The last person to speak is a character from Thumb Wars who says, "We've been hit!".

As other Thumb films, a one-eyed thumb appears in the film three times (the only time it appears three times in the films). The first time happens while everyone is talking about the ship, the next is when the ship is titlting, and at the end when it sells the diamond in the picture of Geranium.
