Product Description

Amazon.ca

So, they let both Rex Harrison and Anthony Newley sing. This 1968 family musical is classier than the 1998 Eddie Murphy remake, with all of its scatological humor. This won a couple of Oscars (Best Song, Best Effects) and was nominated for seven more, including Best Picture. At the time of release, however, this was a box-office dud. Based (in part) on the magical Hugh Lofting book, it begins in Puddleby-by-the-Marsh, England, from which the world-renowned veterinarian Dolittle (Harrison) begins his quest for a giant pink sea snail. Children should find this enjoyable for its exotic creatures, such as the Pushme-Pullyou. Most adults may not agree as readily, although some of us consider this a guilty pleasure. --Rochelle O'Gorman

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised my kids (4 & 10) loved it so much! April 30 2002
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
With all the new stuff that is out there these days, and not being happy with the content of a lot of it, I decided to get this for my kids at Christmas. To my surprise, they have asked to watch it over and over again! I guess good movies don't have to have a date on them! This is a classic! I hope your family enjoys it too!

5.0 out of 5 stars great family film Oct 14 2001
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Eddie Murphy is no Dr. Doolittle. The original and only Dr. Doolittle is Rex Harrison. He never disappoints.

4.0 out of 5 stars DOCTOR DOLITLE LOOKS GREAT ON DVD! Sep 5 2000
By Peter Gardner
Format:DVD
If you haven't seen the underrated original DR. DOLITLE in widescreen stereo as you will be able to on DVD, you haven't seen it! The photography is outstanding (shot in TODD-AO 70MM) and the orchestrations and songs sound great! The Laser Disc was the only way to experience this oustanding family musical...until now. Sadly, though, two of the films best songs, "Where Are The Words" and the beautiful "Something In Your Smile" were cut from the film right before its release and are not restored here as hoped; be sure to check them out on the soundtrack, available on CD (you can hear the melodies play in the overture, opening credits, and exit music). Still, this is a great looking, great sounding musical for everyone! Many muusicals of the late Sixties were unfairly compared (or indeed did try to emulate) "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins" As time has gone on, they can be finally apprecaited as the outstanding entertainments some of them are, like DOCTOR DOLITTLE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, Eddie Murphy...
What were you thinking? I'll admit the 1998 remake was entertaining, the way "Wings" is at one o'clock in the morning when nothing else is on, but, like "The Nutty... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Never Appreciated Enough
This 1967 box office dud, came a few years too late to be appreciated. Although it had several Oscar nominations and a couple wins, it came at a time when musicals had fallen out... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful fantasy
This is a terrific movie. It makes you feel good and makes you wish you could go on an adventure like the good Dr. Doolittle and his friends do. A great family movie night.
