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

Rating: 
- 2 stars out of 4
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.

This is a family friendly movie void of any potty humor or foul language. If you want to watch a wholesome movie with your kids and walk away singing, this is one movie that will help you accomplish that goal.
