Dr. Dolittle 2 is a 2001 American comedy film, and the theatrical sequel to the 1998 film Dr. Dolittle. The continuing tale of the doctor who can talk to the animals—this time, it's Dolittle versus Darwin when the animals launch a labor strike to protect their forest from unscrupulous human developers. Dolittle quickly comes up with a plan: populate the forest with a species of animal that the law protects. He finds a perfect candidate when he comes across Ava , a lone Pacific Western bear living in the condemned forest. To provide her with a mate, Dolittle turns to Archie , a... wise-cracking, fast-food loving, circus performing bear. This film features a cameo appearance by the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. The movie starts out with Lucky the Dog explaining John Dolittle's gift of talking to animals. John, who holds a great reputation, comes home from France and gives his wife a present from Paris while he was on talk shows and other things about his gift. He also gives his daughter, Maya , a chameleon, named Pepito, from Mexico.
