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: TcfheRelease Date: 10/17/2006Starring: Rex Harrison Anthony NewleyRun time: 147 minutesRating: GDirector: 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

The Bottom Line:
A film whose troubled production history has filled several books, Doctor Doolittle is every bit as cringe-inducing and laughable as you may have heard; when you reach the scene where Rex Harrison croons a love song to a seal dressed as a woman, I hope you're laughing as hard as I was.
