This was one of my favourites as a kid, and an odd thing too, that it was reviled by the critics when first released in '69. Funny too, they said the musical scoring was "too grown up & sophisticated" for the kiddies", and yet now here we are, as adults fondly recollecting this whimsical & delighful family fare, 40 years later. It remains one of my favourite scorings for a musical. Lush, heady & quite romantic, it's nice to see how wrong the critics were. It has stood the test of time.

AHA! Finally I find this! Hearing "Find a Pet" I knew through the whole ting is sounded familiar! I couldn't remember from where!

Apparently this inspired the "Pet song" from MLP:FiM.

So I had to listen to it :D

This is the Doctor Dolittle I remember from when I was little, not the remake pap.

More than 40 years later, this song is still great. It's a real shame movies don't do lush musical numbers like this anymore.
