The movie has got a name change from The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle to simply Dolittle and Universal have treated us to the first poster and trailer for the man who can walk with the animals as well as talk to them.

The movies stars Robert Downey Jr. as the title character but the likes of Rami Malek, Tom Holland and Micheal Sheen are lending their voices for the many animals.

The trailer shows the film is set in the past and there is plenty of CGI goodness on display as the animals get a good showing, and its clear than Downey Jr. is more Rex Harrison and less Eddie Murphy.

The movie is set for release on January 17th 2020 and you an check out the trailer below.
