Him using tsukuyomi on her is also exclusive to the novels. Why choose which one to disregard and which one to take seriously? Also, @Greenmatsui, no, it's not the immortality orochimaru desires because even if it speeds up his capacity for original thought, he still can't interact with the real world faster (e.g. by doing experiments or acquiring new information not possessed by the user of the tsukuyomi) so even if he spent thousands of years in a genjutsu world he still might not achieve his goal.
