Dr. Dolittle (Full Screen Edition) Reviews
Dr. Dolittle DVD ~ Betty Thomas [DVD]
ABSOLUTELY a great DVD! Thank You. (shipping was behind than most)
A good remake (improved by *not* being a musical)
A remake in name only, 1998's Dr. Dolittle casts a mercifully non-singing Eddie Murphy as the vexed vet. He regains his long-forgotten childhood power to understand the thoughts of animals after accidentally hitting a dog with his car one dark night (he hears the dog yell, "Bonehead!" before it gets up and scampers away). Suddenly a psychic radio wave is beamed to all animals, everywhere, and they flock to Dr. Dolittle for medical advice. Unlike the tuneful Rex Harrison character, Murphy's Dr. D is reluctant to accept his gift and goes to such great lengths to hide it, that those around him begin to suspect that he's got bats in his belfry. When a circus tiger (voiced by Albert Brooks) falls seriously ill, Dolittle decides to do the right thing. Other animals include a drunken monkey (voiced by Phil Proctor), a flatulent rat (voiced by John Leguizamo), an obssesive-compulsive mutt (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried), and a thorny owl (voiced by Jenna Elfman). A sequel, also starring Murphy in the title role, was released in 2001 (with Steve Zahn giving voice to a lovelorn brown bear).
