Helen Winston, a producer involved early in the movie's development, sued Twentieth Century Fox for $4.5 million just prior to release. She claimed that the plot point about animals threatening to go on strike on Dolittle's behalf was lifted from her rejected screenplay. Leslie Bricusse, who had read Winston's script, assumed it was from the books. Because the producers only had rights to the content of the original books, they had no legal defense, and were forced to settle out of court. The animal strike is mentioned in the movie, but was never filmed.
