Line 26:
=== Tropes appearing in the books: ===
* [[Absent
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: According to Mudface, Noah and his sons were not nice people - nor, in fact, the progenitors of humanity.
* [[Animal Stereotypes]]: Subverted in the Rex Harrison film in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-V7oua1EVs Like Animals]".
Line 33:
* [[Black Sheep]]: the good Doctor is this, from the point of view of his respectable sister Sarah
* [[Bowdlerization]]: Pretty severe case in both the illustrations and the text, due to [[Unfortunate Implications]]. The books have been out of print in their original forms since the 1970s
* [[Can't Get in Trouble For Nuthin']]: In ''Doctor Dolittle's Return'', Dr. Dolittle tries in vain to get himself thrown into jail, so that he can write his book in peace and quiet. When he finally succeeds, the animals break him out and he has to start over again.
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: it's a little strange to read about the doctor eating sausages and such when Gub Gub the pig is a main character.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: the moon cats hold themselves apart from Otho Bludge's ideal society. This is also why a cat had never been part of the Dolittle household until Itty accompanied them back from the moon.
Line 70:
* [[Love Makes You Dumb]]
* [[Love Triangle]]
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Archer realized his mistake thinking his son's [[Animal Talk]] is a disability. Now he sees it as a gift.
