Trivia:
This movie set was no picnic: - One of the fawns snacked on a quart of paint during a scene break and had to have her stomach pumped. - Gub-Gub the Pig had to be replaced several times during filming since piglets grow so fast. - Squirrels ate through several key pieces of scenery, costing the crew thousands of dollars in repairs. - In the scene where Rex Harrison is singing in the field of sheep, he had to be sprayed down repeatedly for flies. Worse, the sheep urinated on him as well, forcing multiple retakes. - One of the goats broke loose during a scene, got ahold of the director's script and ate it. - The first several weeks of filming in Castle Combe were disrupted by torrential downpours, after the producers had ignored detailed climate reports warning about the area's weather patterns - and a homemade bomb, set by a disgruntled member of the town the crew was filming in.See more »
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When the Flounder is first seen "sailing," not only are the sails hanging limp, there is an obvious stirring behind the ship from its propeller, indicating that it's being powered by an engine.See more »

If the only "Dr. Dolittle" you've ever known is Eddie Murphy's rendition, you need to see Rex Harrison's original performance! The first "Dolittle" has the remake and its sequel beat by a mile! Sure, it has the look and feel of those campy 1960's movies, like "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." But it also has the same comfy and family-friendly appeal. The original movie best captures the image of Hugh Lofting's famous veterinarian, in 19th-century England, just as he should be! So never mind Eddie Murphy, and enjoy the real Dr. Dolittle!
