===Box office=== The film faced strong competition at the box office from [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]]'s animated feature film ''[[The Jungle Book (1967 film)|The Jungle Book]]'', which had opened to considerable critical and audience acclaim two months earlier and was still in wide release. ''Doctor Dolittle''{{'}}s appeal as family fare was undermined when the press drew attention to allegedly racist content in Lofting's books, prompting demands to have them removed from school libraries.{{sfn|Harris|2008|p=378}} According to studio records, the film needed to earn $31,275,000 in rentals to break even, and by December 1970 it had only made $16.3 million.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Silverman |first=Stephen M |url=https://archive.org/details/foxthatgotawayt00silv |title=The Fox That Got Away: The Last Days of the Zanuck dynasty at Twentieth Century-Fox |publisher=L.
