The only thing that would make this movie a bit better would be if they would come out with an anniversary edition with ALL the scenes put back in. The release of this has cut out several songs and scenes which creates gaps in the story line. For those of us who grew up loving this movie, it is sad to see them cut it up. The original soundtrack keeps all the songs, "Something In Your Smile" which is when he realizes he loves Emma Fairfax, instead he awakens the next morning on the beach and off he goes. Terrible they cut it. Wish they would put out the anniversary edition UNCUT and with Deleted Scenes back in. Other than that, a timeless classic which does not get enough credit, specifically after Eddie Murphy ruined the overall charm of it.
This is a very underrated movie. The comedy was pretty good. This one is just too underrated by many people. Acting was good enough. Eddie is still good and I enjoyed him as Dr. Dolittle, a doctor who can talk to animals. The plot is Dr. Dolittle finds out he can talk to animals. When he tells people this, they think he's crazy. Soon enough he has to save a tiger in the zoo. The plot is a little dumb but overall I liked the movie.
Overall the acting is good enough, the plot isn't that bad but it's not good, and this had enough laughs to pass by. Rating 7 out of 10.

This is a fantastic animal comedy! Eddie Murphy is superb as Dr. John Dolittle who re-gains his talent to hear animals talk. The animals in the cast are just fantastic and the dubbed voice-overs are spot on. The funniest for me was the funky guinea pig Rodney who has some great, heart-warming lines throughout the movie. The great thing about this movie is that it's not old fashined and over-the-top, it's fantastically modern and funky and throughly enjoyable. The effects in this movie are as fantastic animal effects as I've ever seen and the voice styles of each animal are just perfect. Overall this movie is a really enjoyable, fun and light-hearted flick that children and adults will both enjoy. Fantastic! LOL
Eddie was in top form, "but never work with animals", because they steal the show....
The Guinea Pig and dog, get all the best lines. It is a laugh from start to finish. Please watch this film you will love it.
A real "feel good" film.
