IMDb profile

Dr. Dolittle 3 is a 2006 American comedy film. It is the third overall but the first of the remake series that does not contain Eddie Murphy and Raven Symone. However it does contain Kyla Pratt, the original daughter in the remake series, as Maya.

Maya has evolved considerably from the first film. Whereas she was then an antisocial nerd more interested in her science projects, she has transformed into the typical teenager. When she inherits her father's capacity for communicating with fauna (she is a part-time veterinary assistant), her life is turned upside down on all fronts. She routinely lands in trouble with her mother Lisa, while her friends think she's gone batty.

Lisa sends her daughter to 'Durango', a dude ranch, to find herself. While there, Maya, who desperately tried to keep it under wraps so as not to arouse suspicion, uses her talent to "talk to the animals" in order to save Durango from being taken over by a neighboring ranch.

This film was released direct-to-video, not appearing in movie theaters.
