Doctor Doolittle
: Video
"Rex Harrison and Anthony Newley are featured in this 1967 live-action classic about an English doctor who walks and squawks with the animals. The good doctor gets himself into all sorts of funny predicaments in this Academy Award nominee for Best Picture that combines terrific music, fine acting, lovable creatures and a joyous fantasy tale. Based on the Newbery Award-winning (1923) book by Hugh Lofting, The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle."

Reflection : Students will enjoy this 1967 film that goes along with the award-winning book. I like the older movies. This one is a Family Feature film, which is a good indicator of clean language and scenes. Those who have seen the Eddie Murphy version can add comments, reflections to the discussion session.
Lesson connection : Students read the book in small groups, taking turns reading chapters to each other. Class watches portions of the movie and compare the book to the movie. Discuss differences.
