Following on the US$300 million success of Dr Dolittle, Eddie Murphy again shows his power to communicate with animals, thanks to an army of animal trainers and computer graphics professionals in Dr Dolittle 2. This time, he plays with 70 kinds of animals, including 300 cows. He also carries out a mission to save the forest. In this sequel, Dolittle has become a star among the media, as well as his animal friends, which keeps him unusually occupied. He has to prescribe Viagra to impotent turtles. He has to help an endangered female bear to find a boyfriend. He also has to help his friends: wolves, giraffes, raccoons and owls with their different ``personalities'' in the fight against deforestation. By working with animals, Dr Dolittle works out his own family problems too.
