''Doctor Dolittle'' was originally a book series written by [[Hugh Lofting]] with a total of 12 books; the first, ''The Story of Doctor Dolittle'', was published 1920. ''The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle'' won the second [[Newbery Medal]]. Since then the character has repeatedly appeared in radio and TV and a box office bomb musical starring Rex Harrison in 1967 but is now probably best known for the two movies (very loosely based on the original) where [[Eddie Murphy]] plays the good doctor. A later film had [[Robert Downey, Jr.]] play the doctor, set in the 19th century rather than the modern day.
Doctor Dolittle has the ability to talk to all animals (something he has to learn in most versions, but innate in the Eddie Murphy films) and, although he is able to treat humans, doesn't like to, so basically he's a vet.
