    'Ive never seen anything like it in my life'.

    this is a really fun movie. a suprise nomination for best picture in 1967, the acting and visual elements were great. the music was hit and miss and i caught myself clock watching a few times as this film is a lengthy 2 1/2 hours for being such a simple movie, but in all it was...( read more) a delight to watch.

    Standard film, mediocre, nothing further, worth one watch or two.

    The songs are stupid and forgettable. How on earth did this get a nomination for Best Picture???

    Much better than Murphy's interpretation. This Doctor D. is much more adventure oriented and contains some hilarious special effects
  • September 20, 2009
    No offense to Eddie Murphy... but Rex is just so Dolittle, and Anthony and Samantha and Godfrey... classic.

    So it's cheesy. Rex Harrison looks good and the cinematography is perfect and lush and the music is fun. Why not? I'd like to talk to the animals. Run and squeak and squawk with the animals, too.

    The original and best
