Storyline
Dr. John Dolittle the beloved doctor is back, but this time around he plays cupid to bumbling circus bear Archie as he's so smitten by a Pacific Western bear female, Ava. Dr. Dolittle must help a group of forest creatures to save their forest. But with the aid of his mangy, madcap animal friends, Dr. Dolittle must teach Archie the ways of true romance in time to save his species and his home before their habit is gone. So John held a meeting for every animal in the forest to not give up without a fight no matter what kind of animal expression they have and everyone agrees to do it and save their home.

Trivia
When the two rats fly out of the birthday cake, soar up in the air and land back on top of the cake. Dolittle carries them by the scruffs of their necks and drops them out the window into a dumpster. The rats that pop out of the cake and fly into the air are fake. In fact, the cake is also fake, only the icing is real. One trainer stood on a ladder over the cake and gently plopped the rats onto the top of the cake. One rat was handed a candle with some icing on it and naturally began licking the sweet icing. The rats that were carried to the dumpster by Dolittle were handed to him by the trainer. The rats that were dropped in the dumpster were fake. See more »Goofs
When Dr. Dolittle visits the "God Beaver", it offers him a fish from its store. Beavers are herbivores, they don't eat fish. See more »Crazy Credits

I have always thought that Eddie Murphy was pretty funny. Here, he outdoes himself, especially his role from the original. There is more plot for him to work with, and most of his "animal conversations" occur with a circus bear he needs to release into the wild to mate with a female bear of the same species. This will save both the bear type and the forest at the same time, as the bad guys want to tear down the forest. I thought this was a refreshingly funny film, with more emphasis on clean humor and plot and less on Eddie Murphy's schtick. Overall, I think it worked. It was a good movie for the entire family to see, and I think everyone will like it.
