Hugh Lofting, a Lieutenant in the Royal British Army is separated from his son Colin during World War I. At his wife’s urging, Lofting writes a story for him from the front. Despite the harsh conditions on the battlefield, Lieutenant Lofting’s imagination comes alive as he concocts a marvelous tale about a kind-hearted physician who can talk with animals: The Story of Doctor Dolittle.
