Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Dr. Dolittle is a world-reknowned veterinarian who speaks a wide array of animal language: the victorian veterinarians quest for the great pink sea snail an animal whose language he hopes to add to the thousands he has already learned. Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 10/17/2006 Starring: Rex Harrison Anthony Newley Run time: 147 minutes Rating: G Director: Richard Fleischer

Amazon.com:
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

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pretty Good

Thanks to the help from his 188 year old parrot Polynesia the doctor learns the languages of animals and then proceeds to set up a veterinarian clinic in his home ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great movie
great faamily movie that is often forgot-- better than the eddie murphy remake



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointed
"Like New" was the description given for this item, but when I received it, I was disappointed right away. A corner of the case is cracked and the case is clearly "old" looking as it has yellowed. The tape itself is fine.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great children movie
It's a fun movie for kids. I loved it as a kid and so do my children. I did not like the remake. Too bad they take a great movie and remake it. The DVD is great, no regrets.

As far as it bombing in the box office, I suspect that one of he reason is that the meat eaters that are so called "animal lovers" did not like being reminded that they are hypocrites!

Even meat eaters do not like to be reminded that that steak or coat was someone's mother or brother! How many people ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Doctor Dolittle
Always enjoyed this picture, one of Rex Harrison's best. I received the movie before Father's Day for a good price. Highly getting it for your video library.
