🎬 Dolittle 2 (2025)
👉 Robert Downey Jr., Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen
The doctor is back — and so are the animals! Five years after his globe-spanning voyage, Dolittle 2 (2025) returns Robert Downey Jr. to the role of the eccentric physician who can talk to animals, blending fantasy spectacle, witty comedy, and heartfelt lessons in empathy.
Now a legend in his own right after saving the Queen, Dr. John Dolittle has settled back into life at his sprawling sanctuary, surrounded by his loyal animal companions. But peace never lasts long in Dolittle’s world. When explorers bring word of a mysterious lost civilization hidden deep in the jungles of South America — one that may be home to creatures thought to exist only in myths — Dolittle is pulled into another grand adventure.
Reluctant at first, Dolittle soon discovers that the expedition isn’t just about discovery — it’s about survival. Ancient legends speak of a hidden cure that could save countless lives, but powerful forces are determined to claim it first. Antonio Banderas returns as the rugged pirate Rassouli, this time caught between aiding Dolittle and protecting his own people’s secrets. Meanwhile, Michael Sheen steps back into gleeful villainy as Dr. Blair Müdfly, who is more determined than ever to discredit Dolittle — even if it means unleashing chaos on the natural world.
Alongside his young apprentice and his ever-growing band of wisecracking animals — from a neurotic gorilla to a daring parrot navigator and a bumbling polar bear — Dolittle braves raging rivers, towering ruins, and mystical encounters with creatures like thunderbirds and talking jaguars. Each challenge tests not only his wits but also his compassion, reminding him that the ability to listen — truly listen — is the greatest gift he possesses.
With Downey Jr.’s offbeat charm anchoring the film, Dolittle 2 balances slapstick gags and dazzling CGI spectacle with heartfelt themes of courage, friendship, and healing. Sweeping visuals bring the fantastical landscapes to life, while the animal ensemble injects humor, warmth, and endless personality into every scene.
Playful, adventurous, and brimming with imagination, Dolittle 2 (2025) proves that the world is still full of wonders — and that sometimes the greatest discoveries are the connections we share with those around us, whether they walk on two legs or four.
