Dolittle (2020)
Oscar nominee Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) stars as Doctor Dolittle, the famous vet who can talk to animals. Called upon to save The Queen (BAFTA nominee Jessie Buckley from Fargo and Chernobyl), Dolittle sets off on an adventure across the seas, aided by his animal companions and young apprentice Tommy (newcomer Harry Collett), but Dolittle’s lifelong rival, Dr. Blair Müdfly (Golden Globe nominee Michael Sheen from The Good Fight and Good Omens) is hot on their tails.
Oscar nominee Antonio Banderas (The Skin I Live In) and Oscar winner Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge and Bridget Jones’ dad) co-star, along with an astonishing voice case that includes Oscar winners Emma Thompson (Years and Years), Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody, Mr. Robot), Octavia Spencer (Ma, The Help, The Shape of Water), and Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose, Inception), and Oscar nominees Ralph Fiennes (Schindler’s List, The English Patient) and Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick). Also listen out for BAFTA winner Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Kids’ Choice and Teen Choice Award winner Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place), and Kids’ Choice and Teen Choice nominee John Cena (Bumblebee).
Based on beloved classic author Hugh Lofting’s second Doctor Dolittle book, The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle, Dolittle earned $250 million at the global box office, making it the fifth highest-grossing film of 2020.
