About this product

Robert Downey Jr. Electrifies one of literature's most enduring characters in a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals Dolittle. After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria's England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company. But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures. The doctor is joined on his quest by a young, self-appointed apprentice (Dunkirk's Harry Collett) and a raucous coterie of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Oscar® winner Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck (Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer), a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich (The Big Sick's Kumail Nanjiani) and an upbeat polar bear (John Cena, Bumblebee) and a headstrong parrot (Oscar® winner Emma Thompson), who serves as Dolittle's most trusted advisor and confidante.

    I really don’t care what the critics say

    This is a great family fun movie for everyone, including the baby. True, I am going to miss Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man but this isn’t that kind of movie. Beautiful scenes, great acting and no Eddie Murphy. This was done on the lines of Hugh Lofting’s book and it shows you can make a movie without the unnecessary language and gives credit to the original story. Downey gives a very good performance as the Doctor with great support from his animal friends. This is certainly one to watch with the wife and kids while you are stuck at home

    4k looked great on this movie. Movie was okay

    The movies was okay. It is not a movie that you would watch multiple times as an adult, but kids are likely to view this multiple times. The 4k quality was really good and I could see the difference in quality with the blu ray. Overall 3 star movie plus 1 star for a really good 4k quality.

    Good Effort

    I really wanted to love this movie. I was very excited about it. While I greatly liked it, it just seemed to lacking a bit. It left me wanting more from it, but also glad when it was over. Worth watching. Maybe even a huge hit if you have no expectations going.

    A fine family film....

    Not as good as the 1967 musical but then that's to be expected. However, this film is far better than the Eddie Murphy versions which were just plain stupid. This version has it's moments with the picture being set in the appropriate time period but with the animals talking as people do today. That part was DUMB. The picture and sound on the 4K is exemplary!

    Fun for the Whole Family

    I loved the original as a kid, it was one of my favorite movies growing up. If you have not see that, you should. That said, this new twist on that is original, has a good story, maybe a little cheesy, but not too bad, and just a fun movie to enjoy with your kids or by yourself, doesn't matter, just relax and try to imagine yourself as Dr Dolittle...
