The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T | Rotten Tomatoes

Ted Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, wrote and helped design this eccentric fantasy about a young boy named Bart (Tommy Rettig) who, like most young boys, doesn't enjoy his piano lessons with the mean-spirited Dr. Terwilliker (Hans Conried).

Dr. Seuss’s sole live-action effort, from 1953, was a one-of-a-kind movie in many ways. So is the 2015 stop-motion curiosity “Anomalisa.”

Like the contents of Bart’s pockets that go into the “Music-Fix” magic potion — an endless assortment of objetsd that is beautifully “rhymed” with the confiscated possessions of the 499 other boys — the movie remains a rather awesome hodgepodge.

The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. – Variety

The mad humor of Dr Seuss (Ted Geisel) has been captured on film in this odd flight into chimerical fiction.
