About
A contemporary take on Hugh Lofting’s beloved children’s novel, this version stars Eddie Murphy as the eponymous doctor, who thinks he has lost his mind when he finds he is able to converse with animals.
Fast-talking Murphy meets his match when every creature he encounters engages him in conversation. With an entertaining voice cast including Chris Rock (Rodney the guinea pig) and Albert Brooks (Jacob the tiger) the film features life-like puppets by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, alongside a host of animal performers.
PG | Medium level coarse language, adult themes
