A childhood favorite that stands the test of time

Too often when you go back and watch a film you adored as a child, you realize it really wasn't all that good, and even worse, you can barely bring yourself to watch it. Not so this one! Critics have loved to bash this film for decades, but I don't understand why. A great score with songs I can still sing, a great cast, a humane hero who becomes more human when he allows himself to love and be loved in return...and Geoffrey Holder! This film (like many of the Disney classics) helped cultivate my love of and appreciation for our furred and feathered cousins. To this day, I cannot watch "When I look into your eyes" sung to Sophie the seal without welling up like a big baby. A true classic your kids need to see (and you do too!)

A great family film for lovers of whimsy

I am convinced that whether or not you love this movie depends on how much you appreciate whimsical humor. There is no film more whimsical than Doctor Doolittle; but if you don't appreciate whimsical (odd, quaint, fanciful, eccentric) humor, you will find this movie simply silly and a bore. I for one love the spirit of whimsy that pervades this film, as well as the beautiful, memorable Leslie Briscusse score, and the lovely cinematography (As a child, I fell in love with the English countryside watching this film). So, check in your adulthood at the door, step back into the land of make-believe you once inhabited as a child, and you'll have a great time watching this film!

I love this film

I really do. It's simple, easy to watch, and younger kids seem to love it. It's just an entertaining film without over-the-top, in your face effects. Best for kids or adults in a mellow mood I would think. It works for me.

Memories

The old Doctor Doolittle, the one I watched as child. Bought it for my 3 and 4 y/o, but they wouldn't sit through it. I still enjoy it.
