Dolittle

In Victorian era Britain, Dr. John Dolittle is a Welsh veterinarian with the ability to communicate with animals. After his adventurous wife Lily dies at sea, Dolittle retreats from human society, living in seclusion at the animal sanctuary gifted to him by Queen Victoria. Young animal lover Tommy Stubbins is forced to go hunting, accidentally wounding a red squirrel named Kevin, which leads him to Dolittle's home. There, Tommy meets Queen Victoria's maid of honor Lady Rose, sent to summon Dolittle to help the queen, who has fallen seriously ill.
