Eddie Murphy was hilarious in this movie,, I like the little back-story where they show how he learned to talk to the animals when he was a little kid. all of the animal characters were just delightful. like the idea of the little camping trip and stuff for him to get away from it all and try to think things thru. he has to convince his family that he is not totally crazy, at first he doesn't wanna believe that he can actually talk to animals, and for the longest time he tries to deny it.. but as the film slowly progresses he has a special gift, and that he can help animals especially when they are sick and need medical attention.. this is a great movie from Walt Disney, and they seem to be getting better and better every time a new one comes out.

John Dolittle has a beautiful wife at his side, two adorable daughters and a career that could not go better. One night, he runs over a dog with his car. The dog yells at him and disappears. From then on, his ability is back, communicating with animals. Soon, animals flock to his place to get medical advice. But his colleagues suspect he's going mad, and as the clinic he works for is being taken over for a huge amount of money, many decisions have to be made.....Murphy had a career resurgence with The Nutty Professor, so this is pay dirt for him and the film makers to remake another beloved classic with a little bit of innuendo and the classic Murphy schtick, but make it a little more icky this time.And the results are really mixed.On the one hand, Murphy is his usual watchable self, and the animals are funny for a little while.The big problem is the script, animals can only be funny if they have something funny to say, and the majority of the time they don't, so we have to rely on silly accents or Chris Rock being over the top and shouting to give us chuckles, and it wears thin very soon.This also marks the point in Murphys career where he just went straight for family fodder, so I theory, its to blame for the non swearing Murphy we get now.For kids under eight, it'll be the funniest thing ever, for others, not so much...

First of all, Let me tell you I am writing this review for the Hindi Dubbed Version, so if you watch the English one, this review is of no use....Man, I never remembered laughing this much in a family Hollywood movie Dubbed in Hindi. In fact the Hindi version takes over the English one. Hats off to the Dubbing Artists, they gave the animal character's voices to different mimicry artist which brings a stupendously funny feeling for the movie..., So if you understand Hindi, then a must watch for the whole family, no explicit content or cheap jokes either, the artists that made the animals speak, the translators adding extra efforts to the dubbings brought it to life, my review, A Must Watch if you understand Hindi and knows Bollywood......

I have seen this movie it was Hilarius and I love this movie. Lucky the dog is cute so does Rodney the Gennie pig. The tiger is very cool. Paul Rebuns (Pee Wee) The voice of the raccoon was interesting. My favorite part when Eddie Murphy as Dr. Dolittle leaves Rodney on the sand. Whats funny that the tiger was going to jump off the inside building. Whats sad that the tiger has sickness, double vision, and headaches. This story is about a Dr. who takes care of animals. In this part a lot of animals where in Dr. Dolittle. Hamilton Camp has a fantastic voice for the pig. Chris rocks voice of Rodney is Hilarius. You will love this movie Eddie Murphy is Hilarius as heck.
