Kids deserve movies this good. Beautiful soundtrack and script. A joy to watch.
Delightful for kids and surprisingly funny and touching for adults. The story, script, and acting performances are totally charming and the whole movie is very whimsical, a visual treat, and a bit surreal. Beautiful soundtrack! I had never realized these songs were from this movie. I recently rented the DVD for my 6 year old, because I could remember how much we loved it as kids in the sixties/seventies. I have to say, watching it as an adult, I was amazed how good it was. There was a lot more to it than I had remembered as a child. You simply don't find movies like this anymore, and children deserve movies this good. This movie speaks to the heart and mind in a gentle, funny, uplifting and intelligent way. It doesn't patronize kids with crude, stupid, or aggressive humor. It was so refreshing. "The world is full of wonderful things", and this movie is definitely one of them. That's why I'm getting DVDs of it for us and our nieces and nephews, and the soundtrack CD. The songs from this movie make great bedtime lullabies. The movie has really great 1960's retro-victorian style, too.

That Dr. Dolittle
Purchased this movie as a collector's item since part of the movie was filmed at Marigot Bay, Saint Lucia. I have added it to my collection of movies filmed in Saint Lucia.

Great movie
I loved this movie when I was a kid and now my kids get to fall in love with it too. It is a classic!!

Reliving my childhood
Another fine performance by Rex Harrison. If you loved him in My Fair Lady, you'll also love him as the socially awkward (at least among humans) animal doctor.

I love this film
I really do. It's simple, easy to watch, and younger kids seem to love it. It's just an entertaining film without over-the-top, in your face effects. Best for kids or adults in a mellow mood I would think. It works for me.
