Idk why directors feel the need to get recognizable actors to voice act instead of getting quality voice actors. Those ppl work hard on their craft and I hate getting pulled out of the movie by recognizing some ones voice that was placed there to be recognized.
to be honest in Brazil the voice of the dog in the first movie was done by a famous comedian that is not a voice actor, and it is the most memorable thing in that movie, also the tiger had the voice of homer Simpson, my point is, sometimes the voice works for the best, but when they put someone to say one line, just so we go "look its that famous guy" it is bad in the original version, and worse when translated to other languages because they will not have the voice of the famous person anymore, and sometimes the famous person is not even famous elsewhere and we have to replace with one of our own famous person and change the entire joke
While I like the Black Nerd Rants or Good Bad Nerdy segments for movie reviews, I really do enjoy the I Have to Explain format. Hope to see more of these this year especially with movies that are average/weird like this. Really shows off your sharp wit in your train of thought.
Thank you for this. These videos have been a lot of fun for me to do. The freedom of not worrying about spoilers allows me to talk freely about the movie rather than generalizing and that helps me a lot.
The Eddie Murphy/ Keke Palmer films always jad birds pooping on people. This had none of that. I mean it had a farting dragon but I rather that than birds pooping on Peter Boyel and Oliver Platt and Jeffrey Jones and that other guy
I'm Mexican, and I read that and said to myself "why the f*ck do those bones are called big mouth?" And then it hit me that the word is not in Spanish... I'm so stupid but I learned something new... Thank you
I thought the dragon having a set of bagpipes and a suit of armor up stuck in her butt was pretty funny. Couldn't help but notice that these items looked VERY clean. Like dragon spit is all sticky and orange but dragon poop? Must be like cotton balls or something because the stuff that came out that anus was immaculate. The armor was actually shiny! And the cloth on the bagpipes wasn't even wet. Obviously, the studio censors told the director: fart jokes are fine, but feces are the line! It's probably a studio rule: Do not cross the Poop Line.
My favorite part of the movie was when the queen finally wakes up and immediately turns into a bitch from hell. So all these servants who have been watching over her for weeks trying to keep the queen alive, one of the first things she does is turn to them and tell them to get the hell out of her room. "What are you all looking at? I'm not dying any longer. Get the hella out of my room!" I was like, wow, so this is who Doolittle wanted to save? This horrible person?
The prologue should be the movie. We get to see Lily meet DoLittle, explore Lily's home, experience the adventure in saving animals from prouchers, and seeing the couple meet their animal companions.
Listening to this is like listening to someone describe a dream they had, and you're really trying to follow along but it just makes no sense. "Mhmm, the mob ants... okay... and the Barry berries... sure..."
So basicly this movie is about thanos dragging Tony starks soul into the afterlife and forcing him to live out the rest of his days in a hellish purgatory where he talks to animals?
“I’m sitting in a theater with money I PAID to watch Robert Downey Jr. clean out the colons and intestines of a dragon!...HOW IS CATS BETTER THAN THIS?!” I FELT that pain! I’m so sorry, Andre! Sincerely, Someone who paid to see Cats in theaters....twice
Dude, you got me to go see "Cats" and, yes, I was entertained. However, there is NO WAY that you're gonna convince me to watch "Dolittle," if that's your plan.
@@BlackNerdComedy Thank goodness! I cannot fully convey the level of contempt and cringe I felt when I watched the "animal audition" promo. In particular, that bear and squirrel--E-GADS!
Bex Fire Black Nerd got me to watch Cats too but I found it so bad that I left the theater twenty minutes in. I just saw Doolittle yesterday and it was bad but nowhere as near bad as Cats.
They ACTUALLY had an end end scene, with mudfly sitting at the bottom of the pit he fell in, trying to speak to bats- you know, I never thought I’d see Michael Sheen squeaking at bats but here we are
Producer at Universal: All right, Jimmy, 2019 is coming to a close. What do you have for me? Assistant Jimmy: Uh, sir, the rights to Dr. Dolittle expire next year. Producer: WHAT?!!?! That can’t happen! Not on my watch. Get me a scriptwriter! And call Robert, he owes me a favor! Movie Trailer: Dolittle 2020! Ta-da! Audiences everywhere: Whaaa......? Studio: F@ck you, it’s January.
I was never, ever going to watch this movie. Now I think I need to. The same thing happened after I watched your Cats review. What kind of bizarre superpower do you have, Andre?
I saw Little Women in theaters this weekend and we could hear noises from Dolittle next door which wasn't too bad except for quiet moments. There was a funeral scene, but you could just hear like lions roaring in the background which was a bit of a mood killer
I love how tired you are of this movie. Your deterioration throughout these 24 minutes is so entertaining (though sorry for your pain!) I want to see this movie though only so I can clown on it
Director: “Wow, this movie turned out way dumber than I expected.” Universal: “No... Make it dumber.” *Reshoots* John Cena: “Well, my career took a hit with Playing With Fire, but after THIS I’ll be back on top!” *Dolittle comes out* John Cena: “I should probably go back to wrestling.” 😑
Robert Downey Jrs accent is welsh, there’s tons of references to that. It’s an extremely British movie. I doubt any one in America would really get it. Micheal Sean’s character is amazing FYI!
@A Catalan Liam yes I am, I am playing it. Because I live it. I’m a British guy living in the south, hardly anyone understands me let alone gets my jokes, references or points of view.
I think if they had made it a lot more heartfelt and taken itself more seriously it could have been good. But no. It was all lazy script writing and played out jokes. The only good thing was the popcorn I got to eat!
Remember when Robert Downey Jr. was in things like Chaplin, Fur, The Soloist, The Zodiac, Tropic Thunder, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? I think Iron Man might ruin his career as a serious actor.
@@BlackNerdComedy I think people forget that acting is a job. Sometimes you're just there for the paycheck, and it won't be good. Other times, yeah, you might get an Oscar.
@@ricardosiahaan5287 Iron Man made him rich and famous. Before Iron Man, he was in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in 2005, Fur and Scanner Darkly in 2006 and The Zodiac in 2007. Those movies were enough to "save" his career as an actor, especially The Zodiac. He would of most likely be fine without Iron Man, but not as famous or rich.
I shall further explain Doctor Dolittle: The Doctor Dolittle books were a popular series of children's books from the 1920s by Hugh Lofting. It was made into a famously troubled musical starring Rex Harrison. The movie's production was so troubled it nearly led to the end of the Hollywood musical. The thing about the original books is that they're very much a product of the attitudes of the time, to the point of including a lot of old-timey racism (not entirely uncommon with older books. The Mary Poppins books have the same problem). This is probably why the makers of the Eddie Murphy Dolittle movies chose to chuck everything but the "talks to animals" bit. Heirs to Lofting's estate have tried to amend and rewrite the books to make them more suited to modern audiences, but there's only so much they can do. It does bring up the question of how to approach material that has interesting ideas (adventuresome doctor who talks to animals) but otherwise problematic content (old-fashioned racism).
Hearing Andre say, "Did the Dolittle do a little doodoo," made all the production that went into this film worth it for me. Cant believe this content is free, thank you.
Mention something tragic once- funny. Mention something tragic multiple times- a moral dilemma that reminds people that these are actually really sad. Like Jeff the prisoner on the boat seen once is a funny throw away gag but if they ever revisited him it creates moral dilemmas for viewers as they have to then think about Jeff, his circumstances, etc.
The first time I saw an ad for this movie, my thought was, "Huh, I guess RDJ got tired of being in good movies." I guess my cynicism was not misplaced. Good to know that if a friend invites me to go see "Dolittle" with them, I can just stay home and watch "DuckTales" and get the better version of the experience than they'll have.
The original Doctor Dolittle was an old movie starring a white guy called Doctor Dolittle the second interation Doctor Dolittle was played by Eddie Murphy the third iteration was played by Robert Downey jr.
Yup. Ramius and Putin, the Kommissar, are chatting initially in Russian about the Bible, Putin says "Armageddon", which sounds the same in English and Russian, then they transition fully into English for the rest of the movie. Then Ramius kills Putin.
In the J J Abrams studio written sequel we are going to find out that Tommy Stubbins is the grandson of servant who stole a bite of the King's white snake on his fathers side, great great grandson Radagast, the Brown Wizard on his mother side, and both third and fourth cousin of Tarzan and Mowgli respectively. Plus in the the tie in comic book we will learn that Tommy Stubbins has the power to transfer abilities using a squirrels life-force as a psychic medium.
You have to make “I Have to Explain” a series. And now, my list of best Doolittle’s 1. Julie Andrews 2. Eddie Murphy 3. Rex Harrison 4. Robert Downey Jr.
Maleficent, Terminator Dark Fate, Charlie's Angels, Playing with Fire, Cats, Rise of Skywalker (kind of heh heh), and now this... yeah, it's pretty much a series ha ha!
"it's a Ducktales episode" - that is spot on. I can practically see it play out as you summarized the plot. :'D ...if I want to see someone be rewarded for pulling junk out of someone's insides, I think I'll just rewatch Spirited Away ^-^;
The 2020 movie is trying bring you back to the Doctor Dolittle Books series at came out in 1923-1952 . So this idea is come out almost a 100 years after the first book was publish.
From what I saw in the early trailers, it looked like they were trying to recapture the feeling of the original Doolittle with Rex Harrison which I loved when I was a kid. It's disappointing that a movie with a classic feel like that has to fall back on fart jokes and toilet humor. I love your videos... please don't ever stop ❤
1:46 - The gecko from Geico Insurance obviously just ripped the leg off of the duck from Aflac duck lol... its kinda dark but that's my personal canon on the backstory of the duck in this movie lol
The most important fix for this movie needs to be during the dragon scene. Imagine if, instead of fecal blockage, the dragon was in pain because she was having difficulties delivering an egg. Or, to keep RDJ from having to stick his hands in a dragon’s private areas, imagine if the dragon was protecting her sick child, and RDJ was able to save the baby’s life. Either way, the dragon would be overcome with gratitude for the ones who saved her child’s life & gift them the Maguffin fruit as a reward.
ccateni 28 They’re all Direct to video, but yeah, Kyla Pratt was in the first two films and starring with the third her character became protagonist. They’re Dr Dolittle 3, Tail to the Chief, and Million Dollar Mutts
We went with our kids to a dutch translated version in 4dx. Which had fewer puns ofcourse, because they don't always translate well. The kids liked the film, but they're 6 and 4 and 4dx is exciting, us adults were going through the same emotions you were having unfortunately. You described it very well, like you can see the potential but the dragon scene I could've done without. I do think it's a fun film for kids though, they seemed to have enjoyed it.
I wanted a cool light-hearted fantasy adventure. Sounds like a big factor in this not being that is the animal voices. I wonder if editing out the animal dialogue would make it closer to what I wanted. That way it would look like Dolittle could understand them even though we as the audience can't and we wouldn't suffer through the dumb animal puns and filler dialogue
You know, I'm not gonna be that guy and mention that Hunt For Red October did that 'zoom in on the mouth then then everyone's speaking English' mechanism almost 30 years ago. Nope. Not gonna be that guy,
I think there was a mix-up. While the live-action characters got the correct script, all the voice actors got sent the script of deleted scenes/jokes from the Eddie Murphy version. Only too late did they notice the error so they had to run with it and decided it was cheaper to shift the tone than redo all the animals dialogue.
I have to say same Eddie Murphy is my Doolittle also is it sad that I had to look up Dr Doolittle when I thought they were whitewashing the character? 🤣
So between the two Dolittle actors, both Downey and Murphy played characters who shoved themselves into dragon's asses. Downey as a doctor and Murphy as a Donkey.
Eddie Murphy's Dr. Dolitle movies used real animals and enhanced their faces with CG to make them talk and have occasional expressions. This movie uses full-CG animals, and the charm and realism is completely lost. At no point they look like they're really there. Instead, this looks like some sort of Roger Rabbit affair, where real people walk around in an animated environment, only without all the charm of 2D animation.
What movie should I "explain" next?

@@jeniferjoseph9200 In some ways yes, but no. Lily was not born on an island where people and animals coexist and known to be an explorer.

Are we still going off of rotten tomato critic scores?
Kamrein Laemmle no in general.
Joseph Fernando cats is so much worse. I wasn’t terrified the whole time in Doolittle. Just bored to death.
The movie is called "Dolittle". And, in regards to the plot and comedy, you couldn't ask for a more appropriate title.
😂
Before the movie came out, I was thinking the headlines should read "Dolittle does little"
LMAO!
Cats: I'm the craziest movie about animals Universal's ever release!
Dolittle: I'm about to end this film's whole career!
I feel like this is WAY overly complicated for a Doctor Doolittle movie, like... damn.

“They zoom in and he starts speaking English”
Didn’t that happen in The Hunt for Red October?
Justin Rigsby ?😂?!
Yup. Ramius and Putin, the Kommissar, are chatting initially in Russian about the Bible, Putin says "Armageddon", which sounds the same in English and Russian, then they transition fully into English for the rest of the movie. Then Ramius kills Putin.
Remember when the worst part of 2020 was a dragon farting in Robert Downey Jr.'s face? *looks outside after Tropical Storm Isias* Me neither.

...Truly, words of wisdom.
In the J J Abrams studio written sequel we are going to find out that Tommy Stubbins is the grandson of servant who stole a bite of the King's white snake on his fathers side, great great grandson Radagast, the Brown Wizard on his mother side, and both third and fourth cousin of Tarzan and Mowgli respectively. Plus in the the tie in comic book we will learn that Tommy Stubbins has the power to transfer abilities using a squirrels life-force as a psychic medium.
The fact that Robert Downey Jr tried to do a Welsh accent and failed spectacularly while Michael Sheen, who IS Welsh, plays Mudfly is incredible
You have to make “I Have to Explain” a series.
And now, my list of best Doolittle’s
1. Julie Andrews
2. Eddie Murphy
3. Rex Harrison
4. Robert Downey Jr.
Maleficent, Terminator Dark Fate, Charlie's Angels, Playing with Fire, Cats, Rise of Skywalker (kind of heh heh), and now this... yeah, it's pretty much a series ha ha!
T G Rex Harrison for sure. He was a weird dude, but man, he was a great Professor Higgins and Dr. Doolittle!
Julie Andrews played Dr Doolittle?
@@BlackNerdComedy YOU ACTUALLY WATCHED IRON MAN PULLED JUNK OUT OF A DRAGONS ASS!!!
GREATEST
MOVIE
EVER
WHEN YOUR HIGH ON SHROOMS
This is Kyla Pratt erasure and I will not stand for it
"What decade is this?!" lol
😂
"it's a Ducktales episode" - that is spot on. I can practically see it play out as you summarized the plot. :'D
...if I want to see someone be rewarded for pulling junk out of someone's insides, I think I'll just rewatch Spirited Away ^-^;
Why is he making this movie sound like the best movie of all time???
The 2020 movie is trying bring you back to the Doctor Dolittle Books series at came out in 1923-1952 . So this idea is come out almost a 100 years after the first book was publish.
2:05 Human's: 18'somethin's, Animals: 1998, Downey: outside time and space
The second you show the duck with the prosthetic leg, I've instantly thought Della
From what I saw in the early trailers, it looked like they were trying to recapture the feeling of the original Doolittle with Rex Harrison which I loved when I was a kid. It's disappointing that a movie with a classic feel like that has to fall back on fart jokes and toilet humor. I love your videos... please don't ever stop ❤
1:46 - The gecko from Geico Insurance obviously just ripped the leg off of the duck from Aflac duck lol... its kinda dark but that's my personal canon on the backstory of the duck in this movie lol
Oh dear, I had to see this, even though I haven’t seen Dolittle. (Because like you, I consider Eddie Murphy my Dolittle.)
The most important fix for this movie needs to be during the dragon scene. Imagine if, instead of fecal blockage, the dragon was in pain because she was having difficulties delivering an egg. Or, to keep RDJ from having to stick his hands in a dragon’s private areas, imagine if the dragon was protecting her sick child, and RDJ was able to save the baby’s life. Either way, the dragon would be overcome with gratitude for the ones who saved her child’s life & gift them the Maguffin fruit as a reward.
The way you are explaining this movie is funny as hell 😂🤣 🤣😂
"Dr. Doodoolittle: Dragon Proctologist"
Should've stuck with Eddie Murphy.
Hmmm, hard to picture him in a British accent
Not even the Dolittle remake series stuck with Eddie Murphy. Movies 3-5 continue with Kyla Pratt
@@DigiRangerScott wait what?
Scott Sandler there were three more movies after the first two?
ccateni 28 They’re all Direct to video, but yeah, Kyla Pratt was in the first two films and starring with the third her character became protagonist. They’re Dr Dolittle 3, Tail to the Chief, and Million Dollar Mutts
That look on his face in the end of the video is EPIC 😂” I could’ve watched bad boys 😂😂😂😂”
2019, Anime fisted a dragon. 2020, Robert Downey Jr. fisted a dragon.
Bambi O I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought of that bit from Arifureta
We went with our kids to a dutch translated version in 4dx. Which had fewer puns ofcourse, because they don't always translate well. The kids liked the film, but they're 6 and 4 and 4dx is exciting, us adults were going through the same emotions you were having unfortunately. You described it very well, like you can see the potential but the dragon scene I could've done without. I do think it's a fun film for kids though, they seemed to have enjoyed it.

Absolutely no one:
Universal: MAFIA ANTS
I wanted a cool light-hearted fantasy adventure. Sounds like a big factor in this not being that is the animal voices. I wonder if editing out the animal dialogue would make it closer to what I wanted. That way it would look like Dolittle could understand them even though we as the audience can't and we wouldn't suffer through the dumb animal puns and filler dialogue
I honestly thought this movie was better than Cats imho
This is Duck Tails y'all - That comment alone is why I love you.
You know, I'm not gonna be that guy and mention that Hunt For Red October did that 'zoom in on the mouth then then everyone's speaking English' mechanism almost 30 years ago.
Nope. Not gonna be that guy,
I think there was a mix-up. While the live-action characters got the correct script, all the voice actors got sent the script of deleted scenes/jokes from the Eddie Murphy version. Only too late did they notice the error so they had to run with it and decided it was cheaper to shift the tone than redo all the animals dialogue.
For me I think it would’ve been better if they took some time with the story depth and character development instead of just rushing into it.
PLEASE DO DOWNSIZING OH MY GOD IT BLOWS CATS AND DOLITTLE OUT OF THE F*CKING WATER. I cannot begin to explain how utterly bizzare that movie is 🤣🤣
I have to say same Eddie Murphy is my Doolittle also is it sad that I had to look up Dr Doolittle when I thought they were whitewashing the character? 🤣
They were blackwashing lol.
Brittany Wilkinson no. It’s not a remake.
Ketorulz not a remake
@@masonwright7700 We know...
So between the two Dolittle actors, both Downey and Murphy played characters who shoved themselves into dragon's asses. Downey as a doctor and Murphy as a Donkey.
RDJ getting farted on by a dragon. What’s there to explain ?
Eddie Murphy's Dr. Dolitle movies used real animals and enhanced their faces with CG to make them talk and have occasional expressions. This movie uses full-CG animals, and the charm and realism is completely lost. At no point they look like they're really there. Instead, this looks like some sort of Roger Rabbit affair, where real people walk around in an animated environment, only without all the charm of 2D animation.
