Probably slightly better than the fourth but still your typical 'straight to DVD' sequel that fails to match the first and second Dolittle films. Its good to see Maya (Kyla Pratt) still in it because she is quite a likeable actress and Maya is a likeable character. Storyline is once again pretty predictable and still aimed at younger children, though there is less slapstick humour in this one, except for the very silly chase scene near the end. Overall its OK but nothing special.
