	Encyclopedia: Arnold Schwarzenegger
		Several film projects were announced with Schwarzenegger attached to star including the remake of The Planet of the Apes, a new film of I am Legend and a World War II film scripted by Quentin Tarantino that would have seen Schwarzenegger finally play an Austrian.
		His first film appearance was as Hercules in Hercules in New York (1970), credited under the name Arnold Strong, although his accent in the film was so thick that his lines were dubbed.
		He also made a mark for injecting his films with a droll, often self-deprecating sense of humor, setting him apart from more serious action heroes such as Sylvester Stallone, his most prominent contemporary.

		Dolittle 2 is that it's not as painful to endure as its 1998 predecessor, Dr.
		For an adult, the comedy quotient is low - although not as low as that of the first film.

	Dr. Dolittle
		I'm not sure whose idea it was to star Murphy -- the man who became famous for using all the words Lenny Bruce couldn't -- in films pitched to children, but it works.
		The very idea of replacing Rex Harrison with Eddie Murphy is as funny as anything that takes place on the screen in either film; and oddly enough, it works.

		The film's characters and backdrops were composed of several layers of different types of paper.
		In 1930 Bartosch moved to Paris and created the 30 minute film entitled "The Idea" to which he is most remembered for.
		He moved to Berlin in 1920 and collaborated with Lotte Reiniger on her paper silhouette animations:

	Dr Dolittle 2 film review
		Dr Dolittle 2 is an insipid and generally humourless affair, reliant on Murphy's charm and the cuddly critters to win over the audience.
		In Dr Dolittle 2, Eddie Murphy reprises his role as the crazy quack with the ability to talk to the animals.
		Dolittle is enlisted to ensure the survival of the Pacific Western bear, and to save a stretch of endangered forest from the bulldozers of a nasty lumber company.

	DR. DOLITTLE
		Not terrible, but certainly not as good as I imagined it would be, this film should entertain audiences looking for a more racy version of "Babe" (if such an audience actually exists).
		One of Dolittle's daughters makes a comment to her grandfather that she knows her dad loves her, but doesn't think that he likes her (which is resolved in a later scene).
		In another scene, a vet uses a rectal thermometer on Lucky, and many jokes are made about that and it slipping inside the dog's body, and how then to get it back out (and includes a farting sound).

		DOLITTLE marks Farhat's second collaboration with Murphy, having supervised the memorable effects on "The Nutty Professor." 'The earlier film provided at least one valuable lesson for DR. DOLITTLE.
		While all the film makers embraced the opportunities that these effects would afford, it would be an understatement to say that Betty Thomas found her first foray into the world of visual effects a little daunting, "Every effects shot is different, presenting its own problem," explains Thomas.
		But Dr. Dolittle's new four-legged patients are overjoyed with their new healer and flock to his home and office.

	Film Quips DR. DOLITTLE 2
		In this film, the vast majority of screen time is spent on Archie, and while Steve Zahn is not unknown (he has appeared in numerous supporting roles over the last few years, including, coincidentally, the husband of Kudrow's character on Friends), he's not exactly a household name.
		As with the '98 film, there are fart jokes (which surely get the biggest laughs), but Murphy's part in this movie is not so much animal doctor as animal Dr. Ruth.
		Although Dr. John Dolittle has become famous for being verbally conversant with his beastly patients, the situation puts a strain on his family relationships, especially regarding his teen daughter Charisse (Raven-Symone), who would rather lock herself in her room or visit her boyfriend (Lil' Zane) than attend family gatherings.

		The humour is not very sophisticated, but would you expect that for a kids’ film?
		Even if it is the animals doing it, it’s not a film for your kids if they are very young or innocent.)
		Human relationships (between Dr. Dolittle and his wife, and the girl and her boyfriend) are a bit of a joke.

	Dr Dolittle 2 : Production Notes
		However, since Dr. Dolittle 2 was filmed in the fall-winter months, during which a bear's metabolism and appetite slow, Seus and his team had to find other methods to get Tank to perform.
		Their first task was to reunite Murphy with his "family" from the first film, and they were pleased when Kristen Wilson, raven-Symone and Kyla Pratt all agreed to reprise their roles as, respectively, Dolittle's wife and two daughters.
		In 1998, Dr. Dolittle delighted audiences young and old around the world with its comic re-invention of Hugh Lofting's classic children's stories about a kind-hearted doctor who has the ability to converse with animals.

	Dr. Dolittle 2
		His reprisal of Dr. Dolittle is a nice turn, more toned-down than his cadre of Nutty Professor characters and as sweet as the nicer side of his dual roles in Bowfinger, but by now, you see that Murphy is basically sleepwalking through the movie.
		Dolittle 2, a sequel to Murphy's 1998 hit remake of the Rex Harrison film from the '60s, is an exercise in mediocrity.
		Because screenwriter Larry Levin borrows so many elements from the first film, he never realizes his full potential to pen a follow-up that actually could have been original.

	BBC - Films - review - Dr Dolittle 2
		"Dr Dolittle 2" is the kind of film that children may find amusing but their parents will wish that they didn't.
		A point proved admirably by "Dr Dolittle 2", which is well-acted and reasonably well-scripted, but can't let a fart joke pass it by.
		Instead, we are treated to an hour and a half of bears sitting on lavatories, innumerable gas emissions, and a hundred dubious examples of mating humour.

	Dr. Dolittle 2
		Suffice it to say, Dolittle sticks his nose in where it belongs while his wife is far too lax in the area of making her children responsible.
		When Murphy, as Dolittle, takes cracks at the idea that he should "page" his own daughter, or call her on her cell phone, while she is in her bedroom, I wanted to stand up and cheer.
		There is some really nice and important stuff in the film, especially at the beginning, that pleads for parents to get involved in their kid's lives.

		And why won't the Lisa Kudrow-voiced Ava give Archie the circus ursine (Steve Zahn) the go-ahead to knock her up after Dolittle warns that she's facing eviction?
		Dolittle 2, a sequel to a movie I've never seen that is in and of itself a "reimagining" of another movie I've never seen, which in and of itself was based on a series of Hugh Lofting stories that I've never read.
		Dolittle 2 uninspired because it does not inspire would be to tell a half-truth.

	'Dr. Dolittle': Animals With Attitude
		In any case, this "Dr. Dolittle" is a children's storybook compared with Murphy's version of "The Nutty Professor." Jon Farhat, the visual-effects supervisor who gave Murphy a believable case of multiple personality disorder for that film, does an artful, unobtrusive job of integrating computer-generated animal acting with real creatures here.
		Her breezy, undemanding "Dr. Dolittle" is the sunniest family film so far this season.
		hen last seen talking to the animals, Dr. Dolittle sounded like Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison starred in the 1967 musical), and his unorthodox friends were a treacly crew.

	Review: Dr. Dolittle (1998)
		Dr. John Dolittle, M.D. (Murphy) is a normal, well-adjusted white collar professional who is looking to score a big financial windfall when he and his medical partners sell out to an HMO.
		The film's theme, "To thine own self be true," is presented with as little subtlety as possible, resulting in a great deal of sickeningly artificial sentimentality.

	Dr. Dolittle 2 Movie Review - MovieWeb
		The original Eddie Murphy comedy Dr. Dolitte was a lukewarm and tepid yet entertaining movie filled with cheap laughs, terrible acting, and a painful reminder of Murphyâs slow decent into another slump.
		But alas, the studio gods spoke and a sequel became unavoidable when the original Dr. Dolittle (er, the original Eddie Murphy Dolittle, itself being a remake) grossed over $290 million dollars worldwide -- not including sales from the hip-hop soundtrack.
		The various voice talents of Cedric the Entertainer, Michael Rappaport, Kudrow, and Molly Shannon are witty but donât draw attention away from the amazing animatronics of the talking animals.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Dr. Dolittle 2
		In this film Dr. Dolittle (Eddie Murphy of "Bowfinger") hears of a plan to cut down a forest, which will destroy the habitat of many animals.
		While there is the usual array of sexual and bathroom humor jokes in the film (why are joke writers these days unable to get their heads out of the anal tract?), they didn't seem as bad as the ones in the original film, or maybe I'm just getting resigned to this kind of humor.
		His rebellious teenaged daughter Charisse Dolittle (a grown up Raven-Symone, formerly of the Cosby TV show) and his neglected wife (Kristen Wilson), aren't happy living in a cabin in the woods while Dolittle is trying to save the animals.

	U-WIRE.com/FILM REVIEW: The wild kingdom of Dr. Dolittle
		Dolittle quickly comes up with a plan: there is a lone female member of the rare Pacific Western bear species (who happens to be named Ava, and is voiced by Lisa Kudrow) living in the threatened forest.
		The jokes are mostly juvenile, silly and or crude (A bear using a toilet in an "emergency" -- gross, but funny), but the film has some sweet moments, a surprise or two, and an important, if overused, message about preserving nature.
		The movie opens with Murphy reprising the role of Dr. John Dolittle, coping with a hectic double career as a successful (people) surgeon and a uniquely qualified, and thus highly in-demand, veterinarian (yes, he can talk with animals).

	Dr. Dolittle 2
		The interaction between Dr. Dolittle and the animals was the highlight of the first film, and it's the highlight here, as well: the personalities given to various woodland animals are hilarious.
		The main problem with the film is that it tends to drag a bit: I caught myself looking at my watch at times.
		The scene with Dr. Dolittle and the Crocodile Hunter is slightly different than in the previews.

	Dr Dolittle the musical by Leslie Bricusse based on the stories by Hugh Lofting on stage in London's West End Hammersmith Apollo theatre - ticket buying and theater guide
		Still, with Eddie Murphy's film version waiting in the wings and this new musical, loosely adapted from the Sixties film starring Rex Harrison, it seems that Hugh Lofting's idiosyncratic tales, written as a form of escapism from the horrors of the trenches in the First World War, are inching their way back into acceptance.
		Dolittle is a vegetarian at a time when that makes him a crank and certain environmental issues are addressed to remind us that our generation didn't discover them last week.
		There is also a worrying moment when it looks as though Dr Dolittle is going to fall in love with a seal, which seems to me to be pushing equal rights for animals too far.

	Top Box Office Movies - Dr. Dolittle 2
		No matter how many voices appear in the film such as Arnold Schwarzenneger, Michael Rappaport or Lisa Kudrow, this film isn't even worth writing about due to its' laziness to entice and entertain.
		Dolittle must deal with the neglect of his wife, the neglect of his children and the stress of saving these animals from the evil loggers all while staying sane.
		This is a classic example of a film that aims to be ambitious and falls flat on its face.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Dr. Dolittle (1998)
		After disliking the crudeness of the 1996 Eddie Murphy version of The Nutty Professor, I was all set to despise his remake of Dr.
		As it is, the two characters share only the name, and it is unfortunate that the movie could not have been named something else entirely.
		One annoying element, which also turned out to be its saving grace, is that the story has absolutely nothing to do with Hugh Lofting's character or even, for that matter, the 1967 Rex Harrison version of Doctor Dolittle.

	Dr Dolittle (1998)
		It does have a brief scene in common with the previous film version of the stories, Doctor Dolittle (1967), where Dolittle gets thrown in an asylum but other than that the stories have been fed through the modern American children’s film formula.
		But under Thomas’s hand the film grovels in an extraordinary excess of toilet humour - a fat lady getting a hamster stuck in the crack of her butt; a rectal probe becoming lost up a dog’s ass; CPR being performed on a rat only to find it is a pent-up fart.
		The film stars funny man Eddie Murphy, who in the late 1990s has rejuvenated a flagging career by turning to fantasy films, but the film fails to give him any opportunity to open up and do the wild and crazy things he does best.

	Dr. Dolittle 2
		Anyway, you can tell that if the looks of Raven Symone are all that caught Vigilante's attention in this film...then there isn't much to Dr. Dolittle 2.
		With Eddie Murphy's recent string of films, Vigilante here really has no love lost for the one time comedic genius.
		This time, the animals of the forrest need Dr. Dolittle to convert an endangered species circus bear to the ways of the wildlife so that he and a female bear of the same species can mate and create more of the endagered species to keep the forest from being destroyed by a business mogul.

	Dr. Dolittle
		DOLITTLE started with the idea to completely update and re-conceptualize the 1967 film "Doctor Dolittle," which starred Rex Harrison in the titular role of a physician who can "talk (and sing) to the animals." "Bringing a contemporary and hip Nineties spin to the material seemed like a great idea," remembers producer John Davis.
		"It was simply one of the funniest films I had seen in recent years, and Eddie was amazing.

	LIGHT VIEWS FILM REVIEW: DR. DOLITTLE 2
		Yet that is what we get in the new Eddie Murphy comedy "Dr. Dolittle 2." Murphy plays the title role, a people doctor who learns he has the ability to talk with the animals.
		"Dr. Dolittle 2" also benefits from a bouncy score by David Newman, and the expressive vocal talents of Lisa Kudrow (Ava the Bear), Michael Rapaport (Joey the Raccoon), Issac Hayes (Possum) and Richard C. Sarafian (Beaver).
		Like the first "Dr. Dolittle," which made a ton of money and launched this franchise, the sequel relies heavily on animal bodily functions to get a laugh.
