The Original Dr. Dolittle: A Reluctant But Sincere Vegetarian!
It may not be your kind of movie. It may be just me with a reverent sensitivity to images and words of a gentle, poetic spirit, but I exulted in the lyrical musings, the affectionate innocence and the fantastical imagination of the original Dr. Dolittle, so lovingly inspired by Hugh Lofting's books...

GOOD, WHOLESOME, BORING-AS-HELL FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT!
How was your Thanksgiving? Mine? Fine, thanks. I did the cooking this year. Again. While my wife and Mother-in-Law sat on their Royal Hawaiians in the living room waiting for the grub. I miss the olden days.
I made my Mom's famous stuffing with the Italian sausage. "We Portuguese put...

Cheezy, Classic Fun
Although it annoys my husband whenever I watch this movie, I just can't help it. Dr. Doolittle was always my favorite book when growing up. In fact, I still have my well-worn copy on my office bookshelf. This musical adaptation really does justice to the original. (That's something I don't say all... Read full review »
Only Rex Harrison
If Rex Harrison is Dr. Doolittle in this movie, and he played in a movie with Eliza Doolittle, are they related? Just kidding. But there are similarities.
Harrison plays a single, middle aged man who can understand what animals say to him. In fact, they come to him to help save a creature...

Just try not to laugh!!!
My wife rented this movie for family night. (something that I think is missing in most homes these days) We sat around the living room and laughed ourselves silly. I don't get the opportunity to spend a lot of time relaxing and having fun with my family, so I try to make the best of it whenever... Read full review »
If I could talk to the animals...
Rex Harrison is a wonder. His role in this movie was not unlike the character he played in My Fair Lady. The music was similar as well.
Rex Harrison clearly makes this movie. There are some really cute & funny scenes with animals and the courtroom scene is still amusing today.

Genuine gut-buster
Dr. Dolittle is a hillarious movie (especially the hamster Rodney!)!
It has a lot of funny antics, puns, etc... A pretty well-done plot, could have been more original though, but its ok. I sat there laughing so hard I found it kind of hard to concentrate on the plot anyways. This is a great...

Unfunny, Unoriginal Anal Humor
At one time Eddie Murphy had such a promising career ahead of him. With films like 48 Hrs, Trading Places, and Beverly Hills Cop, Murphy laid the groundwork to become one of the great comedian/comedic actors of his time. Then a combination of laziness and ego obviously overcame him, with the result... Read full review »

Doctor Dolittle [VHS]
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-Ma rsh, 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
