: John Dolittle’s struggle to accept his gift reflects the pressure to conform to societal expectations at the cost of one's true identity.
While these moments are played for laughs, they articulate a coherent animal rights position: animals possess preferences, emotional lives, and a sense of justice.

The film thus critiques speciesism by making the audience laugh at human pretensions to superiority. dr dolittle 1998
