Robert Downey Jr. electrifies one of literatureโ€™s most enduring characters in a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals: Dolittle. Are you Dr. Dolittle?

Robert Downey Jr. is DOLITTLE

After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoriaโ€™s England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.ย But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures.

The doctor is joined on his quest by a young, self-appointed apprentice (Dunkirkโ€™s Harry Collett) and a raucous coterie of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Oscarยฎ winner Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck (Oscarยฎ winner Octavia Spencer), a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich (The Big Sickโ€™s Kumail Nanjiani) and an upbeat polar bear (John Cena, Bumblebee) and a headstrong parrot (Oscarยฎ winner Emma Thompson), who serves as Dolittleโ€™s most trusted advisor and confidante.

 

The film also stars Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen (The Queen) and Oscarยฎ winner Jim Broadbent and features additional voice performances from Oscarยฎ winner Marion Cotillard, Frances de la Tour, Carmen Ejogo, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Tom Holland, and Craig Robinson.

Directed by Academy Awardยฎ winner Stephen Gaghan (Syriana, Traffic), Dolittle is produced by Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum under their Roth/Kirschenbaum Films (Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent) and Susan Downey (Sherlock Holmes franchise, The Judge) for Team Downey. The film is executive produced by Robert Downey Jr., Sarah Bradshaw (The Mummy, Maleficent) and Zachary Roth (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil).
