Movie Reviews of Doctor Dolittle

Movie Review: Such a classic!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is such a classic flick! Rex Harrison is at his quirky-best in this fantasy tale of a real animal doctor and his adventures. The songs are fun and not over-whelming and the effects are great for the time the film was made. This takes me back to my childhood in a fond way and those of you that have seen it will definately have a great time seeing it again!

Summary of Doctor Dolittle

Get ready for the wildest adventure of a lifetime in the most ambitious musical production ever brought to film. Earning a 1967 Academy Award nomination for Best Picture this dazzling fantasy turns both ordinary and exotic animals into talking dancing and singing sensations! Rex Harrison is unforgettable in this inspiring adaptation of Hugh Lofting's classic stories.Step into the English country home of the good doctor as he performs remarkable treatments on the wildest variety of patients you could imagine. Discover his secret cures and watch wide-eyed excitement as he and his four-legged fine-feathered friends charm their way into your heart!System Requirements: Running Time 151 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE

So, they let both Rex Harrison and Anthony Newley sing. This 1968 family musical is classier than the 1998 Eddie Murphy remake, with all of its scatological humor. This won a couple of Oscars (Best Song, Best Effects) and was nominated for seven more, including Best Picture. At the time of release, however, this was a box-office dud. Based (in part) on the magical Hugh Lofting book, it begins in Puddleby-by-the-Marsh, England, from which the world-renowned veterinarian Dolittle (Harrison) begins his quest for a giant pink sea snail. Children should find this enjoyable for its exotic creatures, such as the Pushme-Pullyou. Most adults may not agree as readily, although some of us consider this a guilty pleasure. --Rochelle O'Gorman
