Doctor Dolittle

4 stars

21 Dec 2023

Welcome to the twenty first day of our Christmas challenge and advent with only 3 more days until Christmas Eve where we will have achieved another year of 24 films and reviews. So today's film was the very first film of Doctor Dolittle which is about Doctor John Dolittle who used to work as a human doctor. But while working with a patient he discovers that he does not have a very good relationship with the people of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, which is a small little village in England so he decides to become an animal doctor instead. With the help from his parrot whose name is Polynesia he has to learn how to communicate with different animals that have over 498 languages so he can help them with their problems. While working as an animal Doctor he also works on his dream which is to find a rare creature that he heard as a myth. The creature is known as a Great Pink Sea Snail. Will Dolittle be successful in finding this great creature or is it just a myth. This review has been given a four star rating which means we liked it because with this version the animals were proper animals where in the other versions they used actors and actress voices to play the animals but they where made after the original which was made 56 years ago but still good to watch as it has a famous song which is called "If I Could Talk To The Animals". Thank you for reading my review on Doctor Dolittle. I hope you join us for the last 3 films and reviews. You will hear from me with tomorrow's review.
