Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* Brazilian author [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monteiro_Lobato Monteiro Lobato]] took this trope to [[UpToEleven insane levels]] in his kid's books set in the ''[[Literature/SitioDoPicapauAmarelo Yellow Woodpecker Farm]]''. The eponymous farm is an interdimensional nexus to, essentially, every fantasy and adventure fiction character ever written, including but not limited to the Greek Gods, Franchise/SherlockHolmes, the Neverland people, the ''Literature/ArabianNights'', the fables from Creator/{{Aesop}}, [[Creator/TheBrothersGrimm Grimm]], [[Creator/HansChristianAndersen Andersen]], Literature/TheThreeMusketeers, medieval Knights, etc etc etc ad infinitum. He even managed to throw in some characters copyright laws didn't allow him to. To top if off, characters native to the series' own universe are not few in number.

Ready Player One is a zero context non-example and I'm moving Seussical to Theatre


* The works of Creator/DrSeuss were combined into a Broadway musical called ''Theatre/{{Seussical}}'', which mainly takes its story from ''Literature/HortonHearsAWho'', ''Horton Hatches the Egg'', and ''The One Feather Tail of Miss Gertrude [=McFuzz=]'', but contains elements and characters from ''I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew'', ''The Butter Battle Book'', ''Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'', and more. And of course, they have Literature/TheCatInTheHat to move the plot around.
** Jim Henson's ''The Wubbulous World of Dr Seuss'' did something similar, with Yertle the Turtle as a recurring villain.



* Subverted with ''Literature/ReadyPlayerOne''.
