Short description

A group of beavers ask Dr. Dolittle to save their habitat from loggers. The only hope is to get the forest preserved because it's the home of a protected bear, but there's a problem: the bear's the only bear in the forest, so she can't reproduce. Undaunted, Dolittle persuades a circus bear to help out, but he has to teach him not just the ways of the wild, but the wiles of lady bears too.

What's left behind the scenes

In the scenes where Lucky and the wolf are shown together, the animals were never filmed simultaneously.
When Archie hugs Doc, it was actually the trainer in the role, whom the bear knew very well.
When Doc talks to the bear in the bathtub, warm water was poured in and the bear was instructed to get in. Dolittle was filmed separately, and then the images were combined.
Whenever many animals of different species were needed in the frame, they were placed in a specific spot one at a time and filmed, after which animals of another species were brought and placed in their spot, and so on.
In the scene where Archie the bear is put to sleep with a tranquilizer, the bear was not filmed. A stunt performer in a costume played this role.
When Dr. Dolittle visits Steve's set in Australia, the animal is called an alligator, although alligators do not live in Australia, only crocodiles.
When Dr. Dolittle visits the beaver, it offers him fish from its reserves. Beavers are herbivores and do not eat fish.
John mistakenly calls the opossum a rodent, although it is actually a marsupial.
The animal referred to as a 'laska' is actually a ferret.
