Dr. Dolittle 2
A group of beavers ask Dr. Dolittle to save their habitat from loggers. The only hope is to get the forest preserved because it's the home of a protected bear, but there's a problem: the bear's the only bear in the forest, so she can't reproduce. Undaunted, Dolittle persuades a circus bear to help out, but he has to teach him not just the ways of the wild, but the wiles of lady bears too.
Critics Sentiment
Charisse reveals she can talk to animals like her father
Archie falls from tree branch while imitating Dolittle
The film drops significantly during Archie's embarrassing slapstick moments but recovers when Charisse's character development provides genuine heart
Dr. Dolittle 2 receives mixed reception from audiences, with praise for the voice acting by celebrities like Steve Zahn and Norm MacDonald but criticism for forced humor and predictable plotting. The film struggles through tedious middle sections but finds some redemption in character moments and the scope of its animal-centered finale. Most reviewers found it inferior to the original while still providing some laughs for families.
