If you loved Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, try Doctor Dolittle

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Betty Thomas, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Doctor Dolittle is

A man who talks to animals because a cartoonish childhood quirk never left. After a career as a human doctor, he’s summoned by an urgent health crisis in the animal kingdom, sparking a household of interspecies chaos. It’s a noisy, sugar-rush take on a once-beloved myth.
