About Movie:
Dr. Dolittle 3 is an American direct-to-video fantasy comedy film and the third installment in the Dr. Dolittle series. This film stars Kyla Pratt, who reprises her role as Maya, the daughter of Dr. Dolittle. Alongside her, Kristen Wilson plays Lisa Dolittle, and Norm Macdonald provides the voice for Lucky the Dog.
The film received mixed reviews from audiences and critics. It is notable for being the first in the series without Eddie Murphy, which was explained in a 2023 interview where it was revealed that Murphy felt uncomfortable playing the father of a grown adult daughter.
Dr. Dolittle 3 continues the legacy of the Dr. Dolittle franchise, which began with the successful 1998 film and its sequel, Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001). The series has remained popular among family audiences, leading to further sequels and adaptations in various formats.
