Doctor John Dolittle loves animals. He loves to help them, heal them, and even lets them live in his home and his office. When Polynesia the Parrot teaches him the language of animals, Doctor Dolittle becomes a world-famous doctor, traveling to animals in almost every country so he can learn about what ails them and how he can help them.
