This performance paved the way for Murphy’s next two decades as a family comedy icon. It proved that he could be funny without being vulgar (well, mostly—the guinea pig scene pushes PG-13 boundaries), and sympathetic without being saccharine.
The contrast between Murphy’s controlled human performance and these unhinged, celebrity-driven animal voices creates a unique comedic friction that has rarely been replicated since.
You can also purchase or rent the film on DVD or Blu-ray.
