Years ago, back in the days before DVD, a company called Voyager announced that they were planning to release a special edition Criterion laserdisc of "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T". Unfortunately, it never came to fruition.

I have a vinyl bootleg soundtrack of the movie, which contains all of the songs from the film on side one, while side two featured songs cut from the movie, all sung by the stars.

A year or so ago, Heather was working on a Seuss project and had the opportunity to visit the archives. She asked the archivist helping her if she could see the art from the Dr. T project, and was presented with a pile of neat stuff (none of which she could copy - bummer).

I'd be so happy if someone revived the special edition plan...

"Abraca-dibrica-dabrica-dilliker / T-E-R-W-I-L-L-illiker"...

...and isn't Mr. Darling / Captain Hook traditionally played by the same actor?

I think this is one of my favorite podcasts to date. I really enjoyed the history and the section on Fred Moore. Thanks for the links to the other animator's blogs. Have you heard of The Animation Podcast? I've been listening to that one, and it's been really interesting.

A few years back on ebay I was bidding on an original "Happy Fingers" beanie, but lost it. I don't feel bad, I was out long before the finish at 5k.
But, I'd still love to have one! Practice Makes Perfect!

I've always wondered if they were out there. *drool*
