Doctor | Dolittle Movie 1998

While previous films had used cartoonish effects for talking animals, Doctor Dolittle aimed for photo-realism. The animals moved their lips and facial muscles in sync with the dialogue, a feat that required extensive post-production editing and voice dubbing.

The story centers on Dr. John Dolittle, a respected and highly successful San Francisco physician. As a child, Dolittle possessed the unique ability to converse with animals, a gift he suppressed after his father disapproved of it. As an adult, he has become a workaholic, prioritizing his career over his family and ignoring the natural world around him. doctor dolittle movie 1998
