  5. John,

    I think I saw the original Dr. Dolittle but that’s been too many years ago. We saw the remake with Eddie Murphy when our kids were small. It was good.

  6. I still love this movie. I wanted a macaw and a pushmi-pullyu in the worst way when I was little. Imagine my disappointment upon discovering that the latter was not real. 😉

  7. Oh yes, I saw this a couple of times way back….it’s …not the best movie but this song is famous sung by Sexy Rexy. He was a bit of a bad boy in his heyday.
