What Thingy Fans say....
"5th QTR is like a hip-hop Godfrey Reggio.
Another fantastic addition to the Thingverse
from an artist who refuses to stand still.
The thing that's most exciting about Thingys,
is not knowing where the Thingy
will thingy you next."

"5th QTR doesn’t feel as attached to Hutchings'
comedy character, it feels like an attachment towards
a part of his life that he cherishes and loves.
And I couldn’t imagine a better way of doing it.
I have a new favorite Thingy!"

"5th QTR unfolds like an orchestral piece, with
movement guiding emotions, making every moment impactful.
The comedy is a standout, delivering genuine laughs without
feeling forced. It seamlessly aligns with the quirky style
of the film's world."
