Doctor Dolittle (1967)

A physician who is perplexed by the behavior of humans finds that he gets along quite well with animals, especially once he puts in the work to learn their languages.

There's a charm to the early part of the film, as we get to know Dolittle through the eyes of boy meeting him for the first time. But that charm wears thin as the film is twice as long as it has any need to be and the songs that break up the action are completely forgettable.
