Trivia:
The ending scene with the hatching alligator egg is reminiscent of the hatching velociraptor in Jurassic Park (1993), as even one of the animals admits. Jurassic Park featured Richard Attenborough, who also appeared in the original Doctor Dolittle (1967). moreGoofs:
Factual errors: When John and Gene are operating on the tiger, the pulse is the same as a normal adult human. A tiger's heart beats much more slowly. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Lucky: [narrating] You know, they say the great thing about being a kid is, it's so easy to pretend. You can have a conversation with your dog or a baseball or a banana. Well, what if wasn't pretend? What if you could have a conversation. I mean, not with a baseball or a banana - that's ridiculous, but - but with your dog?

eddie murphy is incredibly funny again. the animals are funnier still. infact the whole thing is so believable and has the magical quality that makes a kids' movie so endearign.
so why the low rating? cos its so very crude!!! too crude for a kids & family movie. even when u laugh, u feel guilty about it, esp. when kids are around.
heres a good story gone bad, sadly part 2 is worse. would have been a brilliant movie in the hands of disney.
maybe disney should be given the monopoly on kids' movies on a platter. or maybe along with dreamworks, theyve been real good too, so far :) 20th century fox should stick catering to adults.
