Review: Must Have - One of my absolute childhood (1984 if that helps) favorites 😍 No new version of this movie can replace this one!! Review: Great children movie - It's a fun movie for kids. I loved it as a kid and so do my children. I did not like the remake. Too bad they take a great movie and remake it. The DVD is great, no regrets. As far as it bombing in the box office, I suspect that one of he reason is that the meat eaters that are so called "animal lovers" did not like being reminded that they are hypocrites! I have seen very badly done children's movies with very bad acting and scripts that got better reviews than this, but they did not offend the Meat growers or cow and pig killers. Even meat eaters do not like to be reminded that that steak or coat was someone's mother or brother! How many people would eat steak, chicken, pig or lamb if they had to go out slit it's throat, skin it and then cook it! Not many. But a piece of meat has no identity! So it no doubt made lots of people mad. Yes, by the way I have been a vegetarian most of my life (my first day on my own), and Dr Doolittle was part of my motivation. I tell kids that ask "Animals are my friends and I do not eat my friends". Most kids understand that, most adults just give me a bad look. The effects were very good for the day and even now. The story was good thought not what a meat eater and animal killer would like. I was a children's movie. I have it on DVD and still enjoy it. The remake had no guts. If you could understand and talk to animals like the new movies would you eat "your friends". No but that was not mentioned in the new movies. No guts they did not want to offend the beef industry!

Great children movie
It's a fun movie for kids. I loved it as a kid and so do my children. I did not like the remake. Too bad they take a great movie and remake it. The DVD is great, no regrets.

Make yourself happy with this Movie
This is one of my favorites when I ' m not feeling well. This is one that will put a smile on your face and the songs are catchy as well. The fact that he learns the animals way of speaking is just one of those amazing things that no one thinks to do anymore.

Fans of Rex Harrison will love this, great value hidef blueray musical.
Great bluray transfer of a film that is immensely enjoyable. Sure it's escapist fantasy: but just ticket for the right mood. Never to be repeated lush production values, great music and lots of empathy. Never mind the negative reviews and troubled production. A lush Todd-Ao musical filmed onto Eastman color negative, for extremely clear wonderful photography, amzing locations and wonderful animal acting. Difficult to make, and yet for me as a more mature person; great escapist high quality entertainment and beautiful sings and music. Never mind the trials and tribulations of making it and the business failure. For any future generations, even hundreds of years into the future, it is a tonic from our fast paced troubled world. Complete with lavish production values, great buddy characters, (and even replete with some prejudices), this is a beautiful example of movie making at it's best. Take it or leave it, this is a wonderful movie!

Vergeßt bitte Eddie Murphy als Dr. Dolittle. Diese Filme sind nur eine Schande. DER Doktor Dolittle aus dem Jahre 1967 ist der einzig Wahre und einer der entzückendsten Filme überhaupt, für groß und klein. Ich habe ihn seinerzeit als Kind im Kino gesehen und war total begeistert. Viele, viele Jahre später habe ich ihn wieder (zufällig) im Fernsehen gesehen - und er hat mir noch besser gefallen. Die Geschichten vom Dr. Dolittle (nach den Büchern von Hugh Lofting), der mit den Tieren sprechen kann und allerlei Abenteuer besteht sind einfach reizend und werden hinreißend von Rex Harrison (als Dr. D), Samantha Eggar (Miss Fairfax) und Anthony Newley (Matthew Mugg) gespielt und gesungen. Wie überhaupt die Musik bzw. die Songs von Leslie Bricusse genial gut sind. Man wird bemerken, wie viele Evergreens (When I Look into your Eyes, Beautiful Things, Fabelous Places, At the Crossroads,... )der Soundtrack beinhaltet und erinnert sich, wer die Lieder alle nachgesungen hat (von Bobby Darin über Sammy Davis jr. bis Diana Krall). Wer sich ein wenig mit Anthony Newley befaßt, hat mit "Doktor Dolittle" eines der wenigen kostbaren Dokumente, das sein Können, und seine besondere Art des Vortrages in Bildern für uns überliefert. Gleich die allererste Nummer "My Friend, The Doktor" ist ein wunderschönes Beispiel dafür und nach Gene Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain" eine der fröhlichsten und lebensbejahendsten Musical-Nummern der ganzen Filmgeschichte. Ein anderes Glanzlicht ist, wenn Richard Attenborough (ja, der!) als Zirkusdirektor Albert Blossom sein "I`ve never seen anything like it" zum besten gibt. Es gibt selten eine derart übervoll choreographierte und übermütige Musiknummer wie diese. Die macht einfach nur Spaß. Der Film erhielt 1968 etliche Nominierungen und gewann 2 Oscars - für die Special Effects und für den Besten Filmsong: "Talk to the Animals" gewann u.a. gegen "Bare Neccessities"(Dschungelbuch) und "Look of Love" (von Burt Bacharch aus "Casino Royale"). Das wurde seinerzeit vielfach kritisiert, aber die Musik aus "Dr. Dolittle" hat Bestand und wirkt heute noch sehr frisch, wie überhaupt der ganze Film viel besser gealtert ist, als viele der FilmMusicals aus der Zeit ( zB "Hello Dolly", die heute schon ein wenig sehr antiquiert wirken und klingen). Regie führte Richard Fleischer, die Choreographie stammt von Herbert Ross. Die britische DVD hat mehrere Tonspuren, darunter eben die DEUTSCHE! Die deutsche Synchronisation ist sehr gelungen und es ist HARALD JUHNKE der Anthony Newley die Stimme gibt!! Das ist sehr reizvoll und Juhnkes Stimme passt wunderbar ! (Nebenbei - H. Juhnke spielte und sang in den 1960er Jahren im Theater A. Newley's Part in der deutschen Version des Musicals "Stop the World, I want to get off"). Die ca 152 Minuten "Doctor Dolittle" vergehen wie im Flug und man muß sie sich immer wieder ansehen. Sie sind ein wahrer Schatz, der nur Freude bereitet und den man unbedingt (als Antidepressivum) in seiner Filmsammlung haben sollte.
