DVD Reviews of The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T
DVD Review: 500 fingers of sheer fun....
Summary: 5 Stars
For any child over the age of 10 who is studying the piano and any adult who also did so "The Five Thousand Fingers of Doctor T" is a MUST.
Funny, gentle, quirky it offers warm chuckles to people of all ages. A truly "ensemble cast" performance with, perhaps an extra Gold Medal for Hans Conreid in the title role. A Five Star, "must see".

Summary: 5 Stars
Adult Dr Seuss fans will love this live action Dr Seuss movie from the early 50s. It's a bit advanced for the younger Dr Seuss set, but for this surreal tale of a boy's persecution by his piano teacher with music and sets in full Seuss mode bring howls of laughter from those of us who grew up on The Cat in the Hat and hated piano lessons! The background bits, like the fear of the bomb, make it a real period piece, too. We had it on VHS for years and were happy to be able to keep on watching on DVD.DVD Review: The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T
Summary: 5 Stars
Wildly imaginative, deliriously kooky film was co-written by Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss), and captures the fun, off-kilter spirit of his books. Some over-the-top set pieces get showcased in saturated `50s Technicolor, sure to keep viewers of all ages glued to the screen. Conried is a hoot as the maniacal Doctor, Rettig refreshingly understated as Bart, and Hayes appealing as Zabladowski, the affable plumber (!) who comes through in the clinch. Sure-fire family entertainment, suitable for younger kids.DVD Review: Classics are good!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching this so many Saturdays mornings on my local TV station. When I caught it late night on AMC I knew I had to show it to my kids. Some songs were so stuck in my head that I was able to sing along. It wowed my kids with all the crazy Seuss details...the costumes and set design are a hoot! I loved the words and dialog. The story is a bit simple, but then most of life's pleasures are. Try it...you will like it.
Description of The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T
Fantasy film seen from the eyes of a 9-year-old boy who imagines his insufferable piano teacher torturing 500 little boys by forcing them to play in a grand piano concert.Genre: Feature Film Family
Rating: G
Release Date: 7-OCT-2003
Media Type: DVD
Bart: I don't think the piano is my instrument.
Dr. Terwilliker: What other instruments are there, pray tell? Scratchy violins, screechy piccolos, nauseating trumpets, et cetera, et cetera?
The only live-action Dr.?Seuss movie for nearly a half-century, this delightful musical comedy is a treat--something for kids who thought they have seen everything. Young Bart (Tommy Rettig of TV's Lassie) detests his piano lessons with the fanatical Dr.?Terwilliker (Hans Conried). As with Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Bart falls into a dream world in which the piano teacher--renamed Dr.?T--is ruler and children are hunted down to have piano lessons. Worse yet, Dr.?T has magical control over Bart's mom (Mary Healy). The Oscar-nominated songs are uneven but the art direction is superb, creating a truly magical world (and the world's longest piano). Dr.?Seuss's love for language stays intact. Many kids of the 1950s might remember Bart's five-fingered beanie, which was a top seller. Great fun for the 5-10 age range, and adults too. --Doug Thomas
