Dolittle has the parrot teach him all of them and soon he finds himself making friends with his animals - enjoying their company more than humans.

    Ignore what the critics say this is a wonderful family movie. It is a classic so the special effects, music, and pace are based off a different time. But it is still a wonderful movie that I have watched several times and will watch several more times.

  • SOUNDTRACK!

    I love this movie. I grew up watching movies like Babe and Dr. Doolittle! I think the newer ones with Eddie Murphy are a little pretentious, even though I like Eddie Murphy himself. THIS version is classic. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone if you have some down time, even if you are babysitting.

    I remember watching this movie when I was little and I'm so happy I found it here. I love the story so much and personally think it's much better than the newer version.

    If you love animals and musicals you will be barking up the right tree to get this movie. It is a classic movie for generations. I remember seeing this and wishing I could travel in a pink sea snail. I still continue to enjoy this movie. Ah the sweetness of the older movies. Best thing to share in a movie is a light hearted and nonviolent one to family, friends, and especially yourself. Movies such as this is a great stress reliever. It is a tail wagging good time.

    This movie I think is one of the better musicals. It is very creative and is one of my all-time favoriets. Rex Harrison is exceptional in this movie.

  • Great Movie!

    When i first saw this movie it was really good and it's the kind of movie that you would want to watch over and over again i also agree that it is better than the one that Eddie Murphy has out right now and that Rex Harrison is wonderful in it he really makes you believe that all animals are great and that you can always do something to help them.

  • I Love Dr. Dolittle

    I absolutely love this movie. In my opinion it is better than the more recent one with Eddie Murphy. If you like older movies and musicals, you will like this movie!
