Dr. Dolittle (also written as Doctor Dolittle) is a 1998 American fantasy comedy film directed by Betty Thomas, written by Larry Levin and Nat Mauldin, and starring Eddie Murphy in the title role along with Ossie Davis and Oliver Platt. The film was based on the series of stories of the same name by Hugh Lofting, but used no material from any of the novels; the main connection is the titular character Dr. John Dolittle and his ability to talk to animals, although the Pushmi-Pullyu, a much-loved feature of the books, notably makes a very brief appearance in a couple of scenes. The first novel, The Story of Doctor Dolittle had originally and previously been filmed in 1967 as a musical of the same name, which was a closer (albeit still very loose) adaptation of the book. The film was a box-office success and became a cult classic, although it received mixed reviews from critics upon release.
Dr. Dolittle
The film's success generated one theatrical sequel, Dr. Dolittle 2, and three films released direct to video: Dr. Dolittle 3, Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief), and Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts.
