* QuestionableCasting: Creator/RobertDowneyJr is about as suitable for John Dolitle as Creator/RexHarrison [[Film/DoctorDolittle was]], playing a character who acts more like his take on ''Film/SherlockHolmes2009'' with little to do with the original character in appearance or personality. Creator/MarkWilliams and Adrian Scarburough have been brought up by fans as better choices.

** On many occasions it's obvious the actors are interacting with nothing and actually on a green screen stage suspended in a harness and climbing on set pieces.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: For fans of [[Literature/DoctorDolittle the books]] it repeats the errors of ''Film/DoctorDolittle'' in having a miscast celebrity actor and having only a very general resemblance to the source material. For fans of the Creator/EddieMurphy [[Film/DrDolittle films]] you have a movie that has nothing to do with them outside of have a doctor named Dolittle who can talk to animals.

** If the subplot about the Queen had been removed and the adventure focused on Dolittle going on the voyage to complete Lily's work and maybe finding some sign she may have survived, it could have given us a much more focused and character-driven narrative.
