''The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T'' is a sadly-overlooked 1953 fantasy movie, especially notable in that it was the only time that [[Dr. Seuss]] ventured into the live-action film medium. In it, young Bartholomew Collins (Tommy Rettig) [[All Just a Dream|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 eat Seuss's [[Bizarrchitecture|marvellousmarvelous scenery]], but engages in an [[Chewing the Scenery|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.

There's Siamese-beard rollerskaters, a visit to the most [[Non Sequitur Scene|toe-tappingly tuneful dungeon]] ever, and a VERY''very'' atomic noise-sucker/bomb. Go track down a copy and watch it! Do it now! (or just go [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8l_aDTkqgY&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=13BF0CACB2A4B561 here]!)
