I actually saw this movie after watching its sequel and I went into it with the expectation that it might be better, given that it's the original. It was not. The movie just feels stretched thin in terms of both length and humor. It was a shame to see Eddie Murphy's talent left unacknowledged like that.

Although I absolutely hate movies with talking animals, Doctor Dolittle is the only exception. The plot and dialogue are nothing special, but Eddie Murphy plays this role perfectly and it is worth mentioning.
