* IncrediblyLamePun: Zabladowski describes Terwilliker's piano lessons as a "racket" in the context of him perceiving it as a scam and making a lot of noise.

A sadly-overlooked 1953 fantasy movie, directed by Roy Rowland and produced by Creator/StanleyKramer, ''The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T'' was Creator/DrSeuss's lone attempt to break into Hollywood screenwriting.

The film was a massive Main/BoxOfficeBomb and critical bust at the time of its original release, with people walking out of its own Hollywood premiere after ''15 minutes'', and Dr. Seuss never troubled Hollywood again for the rest of his life. It's since picked up a small cult following, with both Creator/TimBurton and Creator/JoeDante citing it as a major influence. It's also long been rumored that ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' creator Creator/MattGroening is a fan of the film, with many speculating that Bartholomew "Bart" Collins and Dr. Terwilliker are the namesakes of Bart Simpson and "Sideshow Bob" Terwilliger.

Hypnotize The Princess has been renamed to Hypnotize The Captive. Misuse and Administrivia.Zero Context Examples will be deleted. This trope is about a villain hypnotizing their captive in order to make them submit to them.

* CutSong: There was a whole bunch of other music written for the film by Dr. Seuss that didn't make the final cut, and only survives on [[http://web.archive.org/web/20051221064958/hometown.aol.com/seivadj18/music.html old production bootlegs]]. As of 2010 Film Score Monthly has rectified this, however, putting out a limited-edition 3-CD set with nearly everything related to the film possible.

* OneBookAuthor: This is Dr. Seuss's only screenwriting credit and, as a result, his only attempt to branch out into the medium of live-action feature films. His frustration over all of the creative compromises he had to make during the film's production and it's resulting failure relegated him to his comfort zone of children's books for the rest of his life, with his only other scripts being the teleplays for a few animated TV adaptations of his books.
