Doctor Dolittle
As a child, John could talk to the animals but his father stopped him. Now a negligent parent but a successful doctor, he runs over a dog. His gift returns and sick animals start queuing at his door. Before he can help, he is put into an asylum. He tries to ignore the animal voices, but after escaping he is urged by his daughter to treat a suicidal tiger. He determines to integrate human and animal medicine.
