John Dolittle is a doctor whose house is so full of animals that his human patients stop coming, which suits him fine, because his parrot Polynesia has taught him to speak every animal language there is. When word arrives that the monkeys in Africa are sick, he sets sail with a duck, a dog, an owl, and a baby pig named Gub-Gub.
