Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaArchie and Ava end up dating and playfully romp in the lake. This is one of the few scenes were the bears were actually together in the scene. A huge circle of meadow was hotlined off and greens were placed to hide the wires. Bears were walked onto the location and then released to play and act like bears. The couple just played naturally and loved it, but two canoes were in water with trainers and treats just in case the bears decided to wander - they didn't because they were having fun.
- GoofsJohn calls an opossum a rodent. It is a marsupial.
- Quotes

Featured review
Worst Type Of sequel
Continuing my plan to watch every Eddie Murphy movie in order, I come to Doctor Doolittle 2 (1998)
Plot In A Paragraph: Doctor Doolittle (Murphy) tries to save a forest.
Like Nutty Professor 2, this is the worst kind of sequel!! It exists just because the first movie made money. Again I watched this with my girlfriends daughter, I don't think many people over the age of 10, will find much to enjoy here, as it is pretty much laugh free, devoid of any original ideas, the animal "lip synching" is awful and like with the Nutty Professor 2, the humour is ruder and cruder!! And sadly Murphy is now the angry out of touch Dad, yelling at his teenage daughter to open her bedroom door. There are no attempts to make any jokes to even amuse, let alone entertain the adults watching this. Shrek was far mor intelligent than this. Murphy is the best thing in this, he is not at his best, but he has a relaxed charm. Sadly it's not enough to save the movie. I spent most of my time playing 'Guess the celebrity voice'
Like with The Nutty Professor sequel, this performed slightly worse than the original, but it was still a decent hit, as Dr Doolittle grossed $112 Million at the domestic box office to end the year the 16th highest grossing movie of 2001. Due to the financial success of both movies, I'm actually surprised there has not been third movies in both cases
