Synopsis
Dr. Doolittle gets word that bears at the North Pole are freezing. He and his animal friends gather up a boatload of clothes and head for the North Pole. Since the grasshoppers are too small to help, they form a band and play music for the others. On the way, pirates try to sink the ship.

Production notes
The Further Adventures of Dr. Dolittle (1970-72) was (very) loosely based on the series of 13 novels written over three decades by Hugh Lofting, starting in 1920.
Original episodes were broadcast on NBC from September 12, 1970 through September 4, 1971. The second season consisted of repeats.
This was the first television show in which the starring character was a vegetarian.
The music group "The Grasshoppers" sings "We Just Want To Be Friends."
