Watch the Trailer for Dolittle starring Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland and Selena Gomez

The trailer for Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland and Selena Gomez’s new movie, Dolittle has been released. The movie is based on one of literature’s most enduring characters in a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals:

In the movie, “After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria’s England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.

But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures.”

The movie will be released on January 17!
