A movie like this doesn't exactly need to exhibit a quality audio/video presentation, but this Blu-ray release this looks and sounds perfectly acceptable. The sharp picture benefits from bold, bright colors. The Blu-ray version is actually a two-disc set, with the second disc being a standard DVD of the movie. Comparing a few scenes, the Blu-ray has a crisper, more finely detailed picture. Audio is presented in 5.1 DTS-HD, but the soundscape is limited. The mix isn't overly complex and surround effects are not frequent. The dialogue remains clear and easy to understand throughout.
Neither especially good nor particularly bad, Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts should work just fine for kids whiling away a rainy afternoon. It might be time to finally stick a fork in the franchise, but this kid flick is far from unwatchable.
