    The character of Doctor Dolittle was created by Hugh Lofting, who made his character the focus of his children’s books. Doctor Dolittle (Robert Downey Jr.) is a slightly eccentric, Victorian-era former doctor who retired from the world after the death of his wife seven years ago. Only a fair number of animals keep him company behind the walls of his estate.

    But then the young English monarch Queen Victoria (Jessie Buckley) falls ill and it seems that Dr. Dolittle the only one who could find a cure for her.

    Lousy entry and golden raspberries: Dr. Dolittle failed on all levels

    Chaos in advance: The fantastic journey of Dr. Dolittle struggled with bad press from the start. Chaos is said to have reigned during the shooting. The first posters “shone” with bad CGI animals. dr dolittle cast”like one of those fake movies from Tropic Thunder”, it was said. It did not get better.

    The payment: The fantastic journey of Dr. Dolittle basically flopped with the announcement. With a production budget of $175 million (excluding marketing costs), the blockbuster grossed a total of $245 million, according to Box Office Mojo. The estimated result: A loss of up to $100 million. (The Wrap)

    The ridiculous prices: The humiliation was complete when the fantasy film caught the attention of Golden Raspberry. At the quite controversial anti-Oscars, the supposedly worst performance in the film world is honored every year. The fantastic journey of Dr. Dolittle was nominated in six different categories, including Worst Actor for Robert Downey Jr. The film ultimately only won a raspberry, for Worst Remake or Sequel. Small consolation.

    From July 20, 2023 you can see Robert Downey Jr. in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster Oppenheimer.
