Bart can’t stand his piano teacher Dr. Terwiliker. When he drifts into a dream while playing one day, he finds himself imprisoned at an Institute run by a crazed tutor who has built a super piano at which 500 boys are simultaneously forced to play. This musical fantasy is a cult children’s classic and is the only feature written by Dr. Seuss himself.
