Dr. Dolittle 3 is a 2006 American direct-to-video fantasy comedy film and the third film in the Dr. Dolittle series. It stars Kyla Pratt, reprising her role from the previous installments, as Maya Dolittle. Returning alongside Pratt are Kristen Wilson as Lisa Dolittle and Norm Macdonald as the voice of Lucky the Dog.
This is the first film not to feature Eddie Murphy as Dr. John Dolittle nor Raven-Symoné as Charisse Dolittle, although they are mentioned in the film. 17 years later, it was revealed in a 2023 interview that the reason they did not return was because Murphy was too uncomfortable playing the father of a grown adult daughter.

Plot
Maya Dolittle has evolved considerably from an anti-social individual who was more interested in her science projects into a typical teenager. Like her sister Charisse, she inherits their father John's capacity for communicating with animals (she is a part-time veterinary assistant) and her life has changed drastically on all fronts. She often ends up in trouble with her parents, while her friends think she has gone insane.
