Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Doctor Doolittle was an expensive 1967 movie that nearly wiped out the studio (20th Century-Fox) that made it, owing to public apathy. It doesn't engender much more excitement today. Rex Harrison still looks lost in the overblown production, the songs are still awful (except "Talk to the Animals", of course), the story of one man's communication with beasts devoid of enchantment. Director Richard Fleischer (The Vikings) certainly shares in the blame. --Tom Keogh

Synopsis
A delightful blend of song, fun and fantasy, revolving around a 19th century English doctor who can talk to animals. Songs include 'Talk To The Animals'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr Dolittle- the best film ever, 24 Jan 2006
This is Dr Dolittle at its best- the all-singing all-dancing starry musical of the sixties, about exploration, discovery, empathy with animals (and people) and idealism. A man can talk to animals- and that's just the tip of the iceberg. He's trying to find the Giant Pink Sea Snail, you see, and it's not helping that he's been incarcerated for throwing a seal into the sea, or that he's got major women issues when he falls in love with the adorable Emma Fairfax. And what's a guy to do with a two headed llama? Nothing Emma would approve of, that's for sure! The best thing in the circumstances, he decides, is to buy a ship and leave the country, with a crew of three (and a parrot). Then he gets shipwrecked and things really get interesting. It's got some really catchy songs too... I've never seen anything like it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fine film, but Rex lets it down by can't sing.
Rex Harrison is a fine actor but he cannot sing, which made him unsuitable to play this role. I personally prefer Philip Schofield in the stage version who can sing, and its a... Read more
