Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T is a sadly-overlooked 1953 fantasy movie, especially notable in that it was the only time that its writer, Dr. Seuss, ventured into the live-action film medium.In it, young Bartholomew Collins (Tommy Rettig) finds himself and his hypnotized mother (Mary Healy) trapped in the piano-playing Institute of the maniacal Dr. Terwilliker (Hans Conried), a villain who doesn't just chew Seuss's marvelous scenery, but engages in an epic multicourse banquet. Bartholomew's only hope is convincing plumber August Zabladowski (Peter Lind Hayes) to help him, instead of installing the Institute's sinks.The film was a massive Box Office Bomb and critical bust at the time of its original release (people even left the theater 15 minutes into the movie during its Hollywood premiere), and prompted Dr. Seuss to not produce another feature film again, but it has since become a Cult Classic, and has inspired many filmmakers today, such as Tim Burton.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })There's Siamese-beard rollerskaters, a visit to the most toe-tappingly tuneful dungeon ever, and a VERY atomic noise-sucker/bomb. Go track down a copy and watch it! Do it now!It was directed by Roy Rowland and proudced by Stanley Kramer. | |

Affably Evil: Dr. Terwilliker IS THIS up and down and back and forth the line, he even outright states he's a villain before offering refreshments AND has a Villain Song with Ms. Collins and Mr. Zabladowski! | |

Bizarrchitecture: It is, quite literally, a Dr. Seuss book brought to life. Note, for example, the Toilet Tree in the background of Bart's cellblock. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking Although the next line of the song makes it clear that the "jewelery" in question is an assortment of chains and nooses. | |

All Just a Dream: The reasoning behind the high weirdness and the behavior of the adults - it's all based on a child's dream logic. (But see Or Was It a Dream?, below.) | |
