Dr. Seuss Rules! - The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T, Saturday, August 28, 8:30pm (screening at sundown). The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953; 89 minutes) is a cult favorite of the Art Car world. The screenplay is provided by Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.

Ten-year-old Bart Collins just wants to play baseball and be with his dog. Instead, he is forced to take piano lessons from Dr. Terwilliker. The rebellious youngster winds up dreaming about a nightmarish world in which his teacher holds 500 little boys prisoner.

In his creepy castle, "Dr. T" makes the kids learn to play the piano against their will. When Bart's widowed mother is hypnotized and then kidnapped by the madman, the boy springs into action. With the aid of a plumber named Zabladowski, Bart sets out to rescue his mom.

This entertaining fantasy is filled with imagination and delightful music.
