Clifford the Big Red Dog
As Emily struggles to fit in at home and at school, she discovers a small red puppy who is destined to become her best friend. When Clifford magically undergoes one heck of a growth spurt, becomes a gigantic dog and attracts the attention of a genetics company, Emily and her Uncle Casey have to fight the forces of greed as they go on the run across New York City. Along the way, Clifford affects the lives of everyone around him and teaches Emily and her uncle the true meaning of acceptance and unconditional love.
Critics Sentiment
Bridwell explains love made Clifford big and being different is gift
Zac Tieran claims he genetically engineered Clifford for Lyfegro
The film drops significantly when Tony Hale's generic villain is introduced, then recovers strongly during the emotional climax with Bridwell's message about love and acceptance.
Clifford the Big Red Dog starts charmingly with the magical premise and impressive CGI dog, maintaining good sentiment through early sight gags and emotional moments. The middle section sags considerably due to a weak villain and formulaic chase plot, but recovers strongly in the final act with genuine heart and a well-delivered message about love and acceptance.
