Storyline:

Maya Dolittle thinks she doesn’t have to spend 7 years in college to be a vet because she can talk to animals. While taking a walk with Lucky, she helps a cat on a tree by talking to it. She gets discovered and Tiffany Monaco, a Hollywood star, brings her to L.A. to help her little puppy, who turns out to be a male. Soon, Maya and Tiffany began creating their own show, The Animal Talkers. Maya also meets Brandon Booker who is her love interest. Maya soon finds out the show isn’t about helping animals and goes back home to study being a vet. She also finds out Brandon is at her school too. Meanwhile, Monkey is out in L.A. searching for his big break but quits because he wants to help Maya.

About Movie:

Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts (also known as Dr. Dolittle 5) is an American comedy film directed by Alex Zamm. This film is the fifth and final installment in the Dr. Dolittle series before the 2020 reboot. It stars Kyla Pratt, reprising her role as Maya, and features Norm Macdonald as the voice of Lucky the Dog.

This installment is significant as it does not feature Eddie Murphy as Doctor Dolittle or Raven-Symoné as Charisse Dolittle, although both characters are mentioned in the film. Kyla Pratt and Norm Macdonald are the only cast members to appear in all five films of the series.

Like its predecessors, Million Dollar Mutts was released directly to DVD and received mixed reviews from audiences and critics. It represents a continuation of the family-friendly themes established in earlier films while focusing on Maya’s character.
