Vidiots is Seussing out with one of the wildest and weirdest children’s movies of all time The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T! Young Bart Collins lives with his widowed mother Heloise. The major blight on Bart’s existence is the hated piano lessons he is forced to endure under the tutelage of the autocratic Dr. Terwilliker. Bart feels that his mother has fallen under Terwilliker’s sinister influence, and gripes to visiting plumber August Zabladowski, without much result. While grimly hammering away at his lessons, Bart dozes off and enters a fantastical musical dream where the evil Dr. T threatens hundreds of boys with an eternity of piano lessons – on one giant piano! More hallucinatory than most children’s movies will allow, this one-of-a-kind Seussical is totally bonkers entertainment for your film nerd partner AND your five-year-old!
