Dies und das:

In the scene where Dolittle talks with the tiger in the circus for the first time, there is an homage to the 1967 _Doctor Dolittle (1967)_qv). Near the end of the scene, the "Pushmipullyu" (a two headed llama from the original film) walks past in the background.

Pannen:

Crew oder Equipment sichtbar: When Dolittle is leaving Rodney by the side of the road you can see the reflection of people in the side of the vehicle, most likely the camera crew.

Dialogzitate:

[first lines]
Lucky: [narrating] You know, they say the great thing about being a kid is, it's so easy to pretend. You can have a conversation with your dog or a baseball or a banana. Well, what if wasn't pretend? What if you could have a conversation. I mean, not with a baseball or a banana - that's ridiculous, but - but with your dog?

animals steal the show

eddie murphy is incredibly funny again. the animals are funnier still. infact the whole thing is so believable and has the magical quality that makes a kids' movie so endearign.

so why the low rating? cos its so very crude!!! too crude for a kids & family movie. even when u laugh, u feel guilty about it, esp. when kids are around.

heres a good story gone bad, sadly part 2 is worse. would have been a brilliant movie in the hands of disney.

maybe disney should be given the monopoly on kids' movies on a platter. or maybe along with dreamworks, theyve been real good too, so far :) 20th century fox should stick catering to adults.

an average 5
