Non-stop puns, endearing characters, and more film noir references than you can shake a pair of cheap nylons at. Are you ready for the world's first all sock puppet feature film?

Wool War II rages and times are tough for sock puppets. Terrence M. Cotton, a washed-up gumshoe, finds himself knee-high in debt and praying for a big case. Enter Heelda Brum, a finely spun piece of high-end hosiery who hires Cotton to find Darnell, her missing mate. When Darnell's unraveled remains are discovered local hood Big Toeny Marnetti is at the top of Cotton's suspect list, but Cotton soon discovers that hostile witnesses and Heelda's dirty secrets may have stained the investigation. But can a clean sock find justice in a dirty town? As Cotton threads the strands of the case together, he must watch his step or risk meeting the same frayed fate as Darnell.

Birmingham Weekly, September 22, 2005
"This movie should probably do for cinematic puppetry what Toy Story did for computer animation."

Customer Reviews

If Raymond Chandler wrote a movie starring sock puppets...
Was able to catch this movie at the Mill Valley film festival last year and I'm really excited this film is finally out on DVD. I'm a big film noir fan and love the old masterpieces like the Maltese Falcon, Kiss Me Deadly and of course, the Lady from Shanghai. The Lady from Sockholm works because it pays homage to these great films while also creating a new and fresh take to the genre.

Also, this movie works on so many different levels. It's a kid movie. It has rich sets and colorful puppets. What kid can resist that? It's also a well written story. Anyone who's seen the crap that Hollywood puts out these days can attest to the woeful need for well written stories. The Lady from Sockholm certainly fits this bill. Lastly, this movie works from a cinephile point of view. With numerous slick references to old film noir movies and film history in general (keep in eye out for the use of an old silent film favorite), any cinephile will be tickled by this nod to their love of film.

I love this movie, and I think you will too.

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
I was so surprised and thrilled when I saw this DVD available online for purchase. I caught this at a local film festival and just loved it. The entire audience was laughing out loud the whole time. The puppets are adorable and the writing is clever, witty and full of more sock puns that keep you laughing. This is great, clean entertainment for kids and adults.

I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone looking for a gift this holiday season or just to enjoy themselves.

This ain't no Barney flick!?

Are you sick of the dumbed-down kids flicks?

This is a full-length film that adults can watch and get as much enjoyment, if not more, than the kids. I find it refreshing that for a kid-friendly film, that some of the jokes are only recognizable by the adult audience. It's obvious that this was a well-thought out production from the rich, detailed sets and the large cast of costumed sock puppets. The lighting gave the film that authentic "Film Noir" feel.
