Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A comedic 1994 film, directed by Alan Parker and based on a novel by American author T. Coraghessan Boyle, about some early twentieth-century visitors to a singular health sanitarium run by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the crankish iconoclastic inventor of the corn flake.Kellogg is played by Anthony Hopkins, and in his own way is almost as scary as Hannibal Lecter. Also starring are Matthew Broderick, Bridget Fonda, John Cusack, and Dana Carvey. | |

Kind of. Doctor Kellogg thinks it's possible to make wolves to vegetarians. Then, he proudly presents a quite emaciated-looking wolf who doesn't want to eat meat anymore. (Even scarier if you wonder what he may have done to make the wolf abhor from eating meat.) This may have inspired a similar scene in Futurama. | |

Animal Wrongs Group: Kind of. Doctor Kellogg thinks it's possible to make wolves to vegetarians. Then, he proudly presents a quite emaciated-looking wolf who doesn't want to eat meat anymore. (Even scarier if you wonder what he may have done to make the wolf abhor from eating meat.) This may have inspired a similar scene in Futurama. In the novel, there's also a chimpanzee at the sanitarium that's been "conditioned" against eating meat in the same way, i.e. by offering it to them and then beating them until they cringe at the sight of it. During the climax, both of them escape and maul Dr. Kellogg. | |
