I've never seen Dr. Doolittle with Eddie Murphy. When it came out in 1998, I was just too old for such silliness. Even though Norm Macdonald voices a dog in the flick, that wasn't enough to lure me in. My 7-year-old was watching Dr. Doolittle yesterday, and I popped in

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm naturally curious what footage they've unearthed and who they've talked to for the doc.
