But he drops everything when he's summoned by 'The Beaver,' the Godfather figure of the local forest, to help the animals preserve their home by stopping an overly aggressive lumber company.

The good Doctor is given the task of saving a forest and an endangered species of bear
A double-helping of Eddie Murphy talking to animals. In the first film (1998), an updating of the 1967 musical, a young boy John Dolittle finds he can talk to animals, but his disapproving father forces him to repress his gift. Now a doctor with a young family, John (Eddie Murphy) rediscovers his ability after accidentally running over a dog. He begins to communicate with animals again, and soon has a queue of ailing pets in his waiting room. However, John's colleagues, worried for his sanity, have him committed to an asylum. The sequel (2001) sees Dolittle (Murphy) having to save an endangered species, the Pacific Western Bear, and its natural habitat, a forest that is under threat from the lumber industry. The trouble is he only has three weeks to find a mate for the lone female of the species (voiced by Lisa Kudrow) left in the wild and the only candidate he can come up with is a performing bear (voiced by Steve Zahn) with a penchant for junk food. Not only has Dolittle got a massive task on his hands he also has to contend with the forest's animal version of the Mafia.
