    2001

    Synopsis

    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.

      Even more family-friendly than its immensely popular predecessor.

      What makes the "Dolittle" movies stand out from this menagerie is the superb casting and matching of the animals and their human voices.

      Wholesome entertainment that will please the under-10 crowd without boring their parents.

      The good-natured silliness of it all kept me laughing.

      Cleaner, cuter animal antics.

      TV Guide Magazine

      Overall it's a funny film, but parents should decide if the anti-gay and misogynist elements are worth the laughs.

      Its successful moments (and they are only moments) remind us that this is a squandered opportunity.

      Wall Street Journal

      Ever so slightly defective in the area of coherence; it plays as if it should have been written by a committee but they didn't bother to convene one.
