The premise is a fine jumping-off point to unfurl spectacular set-pieces and plenty of animal shenanigans. But Dolittle is structured like it was written by a room full of monkeys lazily banging. There was even a Dr Dolittle stage show, and now Quickspin has turned the beloved character into an online slots game. In the Tales of Dr Dolittle, there is a cheery soundtrack and a vibrant colour scheme. All sorts of cute creatures are present on the reels, including parrots, horses and pugs. Each one has their own cute little personality. Helping Dolittle in search of a rare cure are his rambunctious animal friends—including Chee-Chee (Oscar® winner Rami Malek), an anxious, self-conscious gorilla; Dab-Dab (Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck; the bickering duo of cynical, neurotic ostrich Plimpton (Kumail Nanjiani) and chilly-but-chill polar. Dolittle's a character drawn from the stories that Hugh Lofting sent home to his children from the trenches of the Great War. He's been played previously by Rex Harrison, Eddie Murphy. Doctor Dolittle ( a classic dating back to the 1920s ) entered the public domain in 1996 and since then there have been loads of editions of the first book in the series. This is an old but updated literature unit plan, (note the old Blooms Taxonomy) good for 2 weeks worth of study (should take 2 we.
Dr. Dolittle (also written as Doctor Dolittle) is a 1998 American fantasydark comedy film directed by Betty Thomas, written by Larry Levin and Nat Mauldin, and starring Eddie Murphy in the titular role. The film was based on the series of children's stories of the same name by Hugh Lofting, but used no material from any of the novels; the main connection is the name and a doctor who can speak to animals, although the pushmi-pullyu, a much-loved feature of the books, notably makes a very brief appearance in a couple of scenes.
The first novel, The Story of Doctor Dolittle (1920) had originally and previously been filmed in 1967 as a musical of the same name, which was a closer (albeit still very loose) adaptation of the book. The 1967 film was a box office bomb, but became a cult classic, while the 1998 version of the film was a box office success,[2] and was received warmly by audiences who praised its humor and thematic profundity. It has become a cult classic in recent years due to Murphy's performance, despite receiving mixed reviews from film critics upon release.[3][4] The film's success generated one theatrical sequel, Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001), and three spin-offs: Dr. Dolittle 3 (2006), Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief (2008), and Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts (2009), all being direct-to-video.[5]
Plot[edit]
In 1968, 5-year old John Dolittle displays an ability to talk to and understand animals, starting with his own dog. John asks his dog questions like: 'Why do dogs sniff each other's butts?'; the dog's response is that it's their own way of shaking hands and he does it when meeting his new principal. However, his behavior distracts his father, Archer. Archer hires a local priest to perform an exorcism on John in order to remove the 'devil' from him, but during the exam, the dog bites and attacks the man, therefore resulting in Archer sending the dog away. Following this ordeal, John eventually stops talking to animals.
Thirty years later in 1998, John becomes a doctor and a surgeon, while living in San Francisco, California. He is happily married to his wife Lisa, and has two daughters, typical teenager Charisse, and nerdy Maya, who has a pet guinea pig named Rodney, and what she believes is a swan egg, which she hopes will bond with her upon hatching. A large medical company owned by Mr. Calloway seeks to buy John's practice, a deal in which one of his colleagues, Dr. Mark Weller, is enthusiastic about. Their other colleague, Dr. Gene Reiss, is skeptical about the deal due to the potential of downsizing patients and staff.
John's family goes on vacation, but he goes back to work to see a patient, and then pick up Rodney. Unfortunately, on his way home, he accidentally nearly hits a dog with his SUV, causing the dog to shout at him in anger. Afterwards, Rodney starts talking to John, causing him to believe he is having a mental breakdown. John has a CT scan after animals start asking for favors when he helps a wounded owl, and he then unwittingly adopts the dog he ran over, eventually naming him Lucky. John starts secretly helping various animals, including a suicidal circus tiger named Jake, who suffers great cerebral vein. Through all this, John begins learning to re-appreciate his gift, at one point confiding to both Lucky and Mark that he has never felt excited about his work in years. However, Lisa and Mark catch him performing CPR on a rat, and have him sectioned in a mental hospital.
Believing his gift is a hindrance, John rejects all abnormality in his life and returns to work, but in doing so, ostracizes Maya as well, who comes to believe he doesn't like her. Maya admits to Archer that she liked the idea of her father talking to animals. However, John has a change of heart when he eavesdrops on the conversation. He admits to Maya that he does not like, but still loves her for who she is, and encourages her to continue being what she wants to be. John then apologizes to Lucky, and together, they steal Jake from the circus to perform surgery on him. Mark and Gene catch John, but Gene is sympathetic of the former's opportunistic attitude. Archer reveals to Lisa that John's gift is real, encouraging her to venture into the operating theatre and keep Jake calm while John and Gene remove the cause of pain, saving Jake's life.
John becomes both a doctor and a veterinarian afterwards, embracing his ability to talk to animals. The film ends with Maya's egg hatching and revealing to be a baby alligator.

Puddleby-on-the-Marsh
Doctor John Dolittle is the central character of a series of children's books by Hugh Lofting starting with the 1920 The Story of Doctor Dolittle. He is a physician who shuns human patients in favour of animals, with whom he can speak in their own languages. He later becomes a naturalist, using his abilities to speak with animals to better understand nature and the history of the world.[1]
Doctor Dolittle first appeared in the author's illustrated letters to his children, written from the trenches during World War I when actual news, he later said, was either too horrible or too dull. The stories are set in early Victorian England, where Doctor John Dolittle lives in the fictional English village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh in the West Country.[1]
Doctor Dolittle has a few close human friends, including Tommy Stubbins and Matthew Mugg, the Cats'-Meat Man. The animal team includes Polynesia (a parrot), Gub-Gub (a pig), Jip (a dog), Dab-Dab (a goose), Chee-Chee (a monkey), Too-Too (an owl), the Pushmi-pullyu, and a white mouse later named simply 'Whitey'.[1] Later on, in the 1925 novel Doctor Dolittle's Zoo, Whitey founds with the doctor's help the Rat and Mouse Club, whose membership eventually reaches some 5000 rats and mice.
Doctor Dolittle's household does not include a cat, and the animals associated with him express a strong anti-feline prejudice (especially since mice play an increasingly important role). Only late in the series, in the 1933 novel Doctor Dolittle's Return, is a very special kind of cat introduced - a Moon Cat, whose kind developed very different traits to Earth-bound cats and altogether stopped being predators. Even so, the cat initially gets an extremely hostile reception.
Inspiration[edit]
One inspiration for his character appears to be the Scottish surgeon John Hunter.[2][3]
Stories[edit]
The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle
Dr Dolittle Play Characters
The Story of Doctor Dolittle: Being the History of His Peculiar Life at Home and Astonishing Adventures in Foreign Parts Never Before Printed (1920) begins the series. The sequel The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922) won the prestigious Newbery Medal. The next three, Doctor Dolittle's Post Office (1923), Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924), and Doctor Dolittle's Caravan (1926) take place during and/or after the events of The Story of Doctor Dolittle. Five more novels followed, and after Lofting's death in 1947, two more volumes of short, previously unpublished pieces appeared.
The stories, in order of publication, are:
- The Story of Doctor Dolittle (1920)
- The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922)
- Doctor Dolittle's Post Office (1923)
- Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924)
- 'Doctor Dolittle Meets a Londoner in Paris' (1925)
- Doctor Dolittle's Zoo (1925)
- Doctor Dolittle's Caravan (1926)

- Doctor Dolittle's Return (1933)

- 'The Crested Screamers'
- 'The Green Breasted Martins'
- 'The Story of the Maggot'
- 'The Lost Boy'
Gub Gub's Book: An Encyclopaedia of Food (1932) is purportedly written by the pig. It is a series of food-themed animal vignettes. In the text, the pretence of Gub-Gub's authorship is dropped; Tommy Stubbins, Dr. Dolittle's assistant, explains that he is reporting a series of Gub-Gub's discourses to the other animals of the Dolittle household around the evening fire. Stubbins also says that the full version of Gub-Gub's encyclopaedia, which was an immense and poorly-organized collection of scribblings written by the pig in a language for pigs invented by Dr. Dolittle, was too long to translate into English.
Doctor Dolittle's Birthday Book (1936) is a little day-book illustrated with pictures and quotations from the earlier stories. It appeared between Doctor Dolittle's Return and Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake.
'Doctor Dolittle Meets a Londoner in Paris' is a short story included in The Flying Carpet, pp. 110–19 (1925), an anthology of children's short stories and poems with illustrations by Cynthia Asquith. Best roulette sites.
Chronology[edit]
The main events of The Story of Doctor Dolittle take place in 1819 or 1820,[4] although the events of the early chapters seem to be spread over several years. The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle begins in 1839.[5] Backstory references indicate that Dr. Dolittle travelled to the North Pole in April 1809, and already knew how to speak to some species of animals at that date, suggesting that the early chapters of The Story of Doctor Dolittle take place before that date.[6] However, it is possible that the internal chronology is not consistent.
The internal chronology of the books is somewhat different from the publishing order. The first book is followed by Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924), Doctor Dolittle's Caravan (1926), Doctor Dolittle and the Green Canary (1950), and Doctor Dolittle's Post Office (1923). Only then follows the second book, The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922), continued by Doctor Dolittle's Zoo (1925). After that, the publishing order is restored; Doctor Dolittle's Garden (1927) is followed by Doctor Dolittle in the Moon (1928) and Doctor Dolittle's Return (1933), ending with Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake (1948).[7]
The stories, in order of internal chronology, are:
- The Story of Doctor Dolittle (1920)
- 'The Green Breasted Martins' (follows Chapter XII in The Story of Doctor Dolittle; collected in Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures (1952))
- Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924)

Appearances in other languages[edit]
A Russian children's novel Doctor Aybolit (Doctor Oh-it-hurts) by Korney Chukovsky (first published in 1924) was loosely based on the stories of Doctor Dolittle. The original novel credited Lofting's work,[18] as did Chukovsky in his memoirs.[19]
Norwegian playwright, songwriter, and illustrator, Thorbjørn Egner, made an album called Doktor Dyregod (Doctor good-toward-animals) with songs and story based on Doctor Dolittle.
All the books in the series have been translated into Japanese by Ibuse Masuji and into Lithuanian by Pranas Mašiotas (few decades after appearance of an original).
