Whether it is "Dolittle" or "Dolittle", they all point to the same character, that is Dolittle , the animal doctor . As early as 1998, "Strange Doctor Dolittle" starring Eddie Murphy already made audiences familiar with this doctor who can understand animal language and communicate with him without obstacles.

From Dolittle to Dolittle, in addition to changing the translated name, the biggest change is the background of the protagonist's life. This time, Dolittle lived in ancient times, and there was still a young queen at that time, and his supernormal ability remained unchanged.

group portrait

There is only one protagonist in this film, that is Dolittle. Besides him, there are many other characters. These characters form the group portrait of the film.

1. Dead Wife Lily

This is the most important character in the film with the fewest appearances and the shortest duration. The audience can't even see her face clearly, and more often they can only see her portrait. However, Lily is an extremely important character, and without her diary, Dolittle would not have embarked on a journey to find the antidote, and ultimately would not have been able to find the Fruit of Eden, and thus the entire story would not exist. For this film, she is the general existence of "the origin of all things",

2. The Young Queen

This is the key character with the least movement and the least lines in the film, and 90% of the time she is lying in bed and in a coma.

3. The Apprentice Boy

This is a child who is always favored by highlights. The whole film is 101 minutes long, and the most important action is completed by this little boy.

group of animals

The biggest attraction and novelty of this film is that humans can speak animal languages, and animals can speak human languages. The former is the perspective of ordinary people, and the latter is the perspective of Dolittle.

1. Scared Gorilla

Kiki is a burly chimpanzee, but he is very timid. "I am not a prisoner of fear" is a mantra he has repeated countless times, and Dolittle is more like his psychiatrist.

He opened the door for the little boy for the first time, and when the two of them looked directly at him, both of them were screaming, and Kiki was louder, more frightened, and fainted.

2. Polar bears afraid of cold

Besides Qiqi, Yoshi is the most aggressive little friend, after all, he is a huge polar bear. Yoshi always wears a woolly hat that doesn't fit, because he's always cold and likes to be near the fireplace when he's at home.

3. The flightless ostrich

Plimpton the ostrich is Dolittle's mount, why doesn't he ride a carriage, because the carriage can barely hold Yoshi and Dada. Plimpton's characteristics are that he can't fly or swim, so he is often teased by Yoshi, but he does run very fast.

4. Talking Squirrel

Kevin the squirrel is a new friend. He is the animal character with the most inner monologues in this film. He shouts to himself in his heart every day, and he has a small diary in his head, which is full of his various plans.

5. Ducks that "scare" eggs

Duck quack, learned a lot of human skills, but couldn't distinguish between vegetables and surgical tools, often handed Dolittle a green onion or a celery during surgery.

After being awakened, the evil dragon guarding the Tree of Eden breathed fire everywhere, and a soldier was swallowed. Witnessing this scene, Quack was terrified and immediately laid a duck egg.

And Gaga's green onion eventually came in handy, and Dolittle used it to cure the dragon.

    A beautiful Kinderfilm. The setting is fun, the adventure part is a little off, not fantastic enough. Picking leaves and ending with a dragon is a little too old-fashioned.

    Uh, it's obviously a silly children's fantasy film. I don't know why everyone has such high expectations. I think it's okay if the expectation value is 0, although... even dragons appear (but this kind of character really should be Let Depp come)
