FYI - Tommy Rettig had a piano playing double in the film - then 10 year old Michel Rubini who would go on to be famous in his own right. He is also one of the boys held by Doctor T.

In addition, Man Or Astro-man? samples a line from this movie in the song Happy Fingers on the Album "Your Weight On The Moon" (track 8).

What, no mention of the problems plagueing this movie, or its somewhat dismal performance in theaters? I remember hearing that all the child extras were quite displeased at having to sit and be quiet and pretend to play piano.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 15:36, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spam

Removed link to Bunny concerto -- blatant spam -- had nothing to do with the movie, nor Dr Seuss. Just the usual, musicians peddling their wares everywhere and anywhere.
