Production has wrapped on Doctor Dolittle 3, with John Amos and Kyla Pratt taking over from Eddie Murphy in the franchise's third instalment.

Headed straight for video in the new year, the film focuses on John Dolittle's daughter, Maya (Pratt), who has recently discovered an ability to talk to the animals. Sent to a dude ranch in order to "find herself", she soon becomes determined to prevent it from being taken over by a neighbouring rival ranch.

Chelan Simmons, Tara Wilson and Kristen Wilson also star.
