DOLITTLE
Robert Downey Jr. electrifies as the man who could talk to animals: DOLITTLE.
After losing his wife, he hermits himself away behind the high wall of his manor. However, he is forced to set sail on an epic adventure when the queen falls gravely ill. Helping Dolittle in search of a rare cure are his rambunctious animal friends—including Chee-Chee, an anxious, self-conscious gorilla; Dab-Dab, an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck; the bickering duo of cynical, neurotic ostrich Plimpton and chilly-but-chill polar bear Yoshi; as well as a headstrong parrot named Polynesia.

Review of Dolittle
I may have seen the original Doctor Dolittle a LONG time ago. I say may even though I’ve always thought I did see it. However, I was convinced that Fred MacMurray starred in it, and he didn’t. You know, when you’re a kid you get lots of stuff mixed up! Anyway, I knew that Doctor Dolittle talked to animals and there was a song in it. That’s about it. I never saw any of the many incarnations of the movie until DOLITTLE.
Robert Downey Jr. is incredible as Doctor Dolittle. I mean, he’s incredible in everything he’s in basically so there’s that. But, I was pleasantly surprised that at no time during DOLITTLE did I think I was watching Iron Man or Sherlock try to play Doctor Dolittle. He completely embraced this character. I love the way he interacts with Stubbins who, despite the good doctors protests, joins in on the adventure as Dolittle’s apprentice.
This movie is a lot of fun. The actors who voice the characters do so to perfection. There is adventure, excitement, and lots of humor in DOLITTLE. It’s a great movie to watch with your family. During this time of complete upheaval around the world, we’ve got to remember to laugh. After all, laughter is the best medicine. It’s easy to get caught up in our own stuff, that we forget our kids are watching us. Don’t get caught up in your own stuff! Relax, make some snacks, and enjoy watching DOLITTLE as a family!
