Description

Welcome to a very special Raters of the Lost Arts minisode where we finally discuss an actual "lost art"-- Dr. Seuss's 1958 film "5,000 Fingers of Dr. T". This phantasmagoria and quasi-German Expressionist family film follows protagonist Bart who "dreams himself into a fantasy world ruled by a diabolical piano teacher enslaving children to practice piano forever". We very much enjoyed this movie and discuss some of the fun behind-the-scenes facts about it as well as our interpretations. Strap in, it's about to get weird.
