I wrote this one off at seeing the trailer. But tQ wanted to see the talking animals. It was in the Queue. It showed up at the house.
I figured we could watch it for ten minutes and then switch it off when it got horrible. But it never got horrible. There were funny bits. The story engaged us, even though it was slight. The had a great cast of voice actors to do the animals and it all kind of worked.
Robert Downey Jr. plays Dr. Dolittle hiding in his house with his animals after his wife dies. He wants nothing to do with the world. That comes to an end when a young boy brings him an injure squirrel and the handmaiden of the Queen brings him news that the Queen needs to see him. This sends Dolittle and the young boy on a quest with all the animals. Their are villains to thwart the quest and hijinks to be had. But it was all kind of funny and the voice cast seduced me.
The weakest link in the affair was Downey. He had this weird quiet scottish accent and he kind of talked to himself the whole time. I missed a lot of his lines because they were so quiet.
It worked for the tQ and I. No singing. Probably a bit more fun than the original.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
