Seven years have passed since the renowned doctor and veterinarian John Dolittle suffered the tragic loss of his wife. Devastated by grief, Dolittle chose to withdraw from the world, taking refuge in his grand mansion, surrounded only by his extravagant collection of exotic animals—creatures with whom he has learned to communicate. Solitude, the absence of human interaction, and his unique bond with the animal kingdom became his new way of life, far removed from society.
However, fate has other plans for him. When the young Queen of England falls gravely ill, Dolittle is reluctantly forced to abandon his hermit-like existence and embark on an unprecedented adventure. Driven by a renewed sense of duty—and perhaps a longing for personal redemption—the doctor sets sail across uncharted seas in search of a legendary cure that could save the monarch.
His mission takes him to a mythical island, filled with secrets, fantastic landscapes, and creatures as astonishing as they are endearing. Along the way, Dolittle must confront old foes who return with hidden agendas, as well as numerous challenges that will test his courage and ingenuity. He won’t face them alone: his loyal animal companions, each with their own unique personality, accompany him every step of the journey, offering humor, tenderness, and wisdom.
