Anyone remember "Doctor Dolittle" cartoon series from 1970s? It was about John Dolittle on his ship going around the world helping animals. Meanwhile, Sam Scurvy the Pirate tries to get Dolittle to teach him to talk to animals so he can take over the world.

NBC aired it and it was co-produced by Friz Freleng at his DePatie-Freleng studio. Directors include Arthur Davis, Sid Marcus, Hawley Pratt and Gerry Chiniquy. There were 18 episodes.

I think it was syndicated by Fox after the show ended.
