Todd Anderson and his friends at Welton Academy can hardly believe how different life is since their new English professor, the flamboyant John Keating, has challenged them to "make your lives extraordinary! " Inspired by Keating, the boys resurrect the Dead Poets Society--a secret club where, free from the constraints and expectations of school and parents, they let their passions run wild. As Keating turns the boys on to the great words of Byron, Shelley, and Keats, they discover not only the beauty of language, but the importance of making each moment count. But the Dead Poets pledges soon realize that their newfound freedom can have tragic consequences. Can the club and the individuality it inspires survive the pressure from authorities determined to destroy their dreams?

John Dolittle is a very busy doctor with a wife and two daughters, and he likes his ordinary life very much. But that's all over when Dr. Dolittle gets a bad bump on the head. The next thing Dolittle learns is that not only can he understand what animals are saying when they bark, bleat, meow, but he can also talk back to them. A dog calls him a bonehead, he hears a guinea pig singing songs, and he has an argument with a couple of rats who hang out in a Dumpster! Soon all the animals in town are coming to him for medical advice. Is he imagining it? Is this a nightmare? Will it ever stop? Dolittle doesn't know. He only knows that something has to change or he's going to lose his mind.

Rozpoczyna się rok szkolny w Akademii Weltona, elitarnej szkole średniej o wielkich osiągnięciach i nader surowej dyscyplinie. W miejsce odchodzącego na emeryturę nauczyciela przychodzi nowy, John Keating. Czterem zasadom Akademii, którymi są : Tradycja, Honor, Dyscyplina i Doskonałość, przeciwstawia inny sposób kształtowania i wychowania młodych ludzi. Co zwycięży : rygorystycznie przestrzegana tradycja czy prawo do marzeń, wolności i młodzieńczego buntu?
