Dove Review

I really liked the new version of “Doctor Dolittle” with Eddie Murphy, but I never knew that there was an original made all the way back in 1967. Soon after the video started, I was no longer surprised that it had been nominated for best picture. This version is a musical, and I almost like it better that way. Rex Harrison does a magnificent job acting with all of the animals, and even though there are no special effects, it really does seem like he is talking directly to the animals; he sings really well also. This video has really earned the right to be called a classic. I suggest the original “Doctor Dolittle” to everyone.
