Director: Betty Thomas Cast: Eddie Murphy, Ossie Davis, Oliver Platt, Richard Schiff, Kristen Wilson, Jeffrey Tambor, Kyla Pratt, Peter Boyle, Chris Rock, Albert Brooks, Raven-Symone, Steven Gilborn, Norm MacDonald, John Leguizamo, Julie Kavner
Dr. John Dolittle (Eddie Murphy) treats humans and has forgotten that he once talked with the animals. But, when he nearly runs over a dog, Lucky (voice of Norm MacDonald), his past returns, he is hearing animal voices, and everyone thinks that he has lost his mind. The cast of voices for the animals–which includes Norm MacDonald, Julie Kavner, Reni Santoni, Garry Shandling, Paul Reubens, Albert Brooks, Chris Rock, and Gilbert Gottfried–is a highlight as the animals communicate with the good doctor (Eddie Murphy) who learned as a child to talk to the animals.
