Review of The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. (1953) by Dylan D — 27 May 2016
Word has it that Dr. Seuss all but disavowed The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. He would never work on another screenplay again. The movie isn't really that bad. It's creative if not a bit limited. Its imagery matches up with its themes very well, though certainly there's an overflow of creepy henchmen and other weird sights (and sounds) that leave the movie a little worse off for their inclusion.
But it's a good illustrative example of the way children become emotionally scarred. In a weird way, it's a movie every parent should watch.
