Dr. Dolittle 2 is an American comedy film, the theatrical sequel to Dr. Dolittle. The continuing tale of the doctor who can talk to the animals--this time, it's Dolittle versus Darwin when the animals launch a labor strike to protect their forest from unscrupulous human developers. Dolittle quickly comes up with a plan: populate the forest with a species of animal that the law protects. He finds a perfect candidate when he comes across Ava (Lisa Kudrow), a lone Pacific Western bear living in the condemned forest. To provide her with a mate, Dolittle turns to Archie (Steve Zahn), a wise-cracking, fast-food loving, circus performing bear.

This film features a cameo appearance by Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.

Since we last saw him Dr. Dolittle has earned fame and recognition both among two- and four-legged creatures for his ability to talk to animals. But his hectic workdays causes him to put family life on the back burner. When he is faced with the challenge of reintroducing a circus bear into the wild in order to save a forest, he also gets the opportunity to better his relationship with his wife and eldest daughter.
