what’s your favorite Dog?
wiener dog :)
Mine is boxer dogs, since I have a pet dog that’s of a boxer breed (not an actual box, like the boxer breed lol)

People always ask “why is he so big” but we’ve never solved why he’s tomato red.
Well in the lab we had some tomatoes next to the DNA sample and uh...
It's the blood of the innocent
Good question

A giant dog in one of the most dense and tightly packed cities in the world gives me great anxiety
imagine the dog in LA traffic. that's a fucking massacre
@@PlanetXerox XD TRUE DOE
I have a phobia of dogs. That is a horrifying nightmare
That's why they moved to an island. It's wide open spaces to run around and keeps him in one spot.
If even a pitbull, mastiff, great pyrenees, or any other large strong dog breed causes trouble in a small NYC apartment, then they shouldn't really be too surpised that -whatever clifford is- being unsuited for their environment. What I'm saying is this movie has lowkey animal abuse and has no problem with it.
(Unlike the books and show, which had them living in a rural-suburb area with lots of wide open spaces where he could run without potentially crushing someone.)
I have to admit the post credits scene where Word Girl comes to Clifford saying they need to assemble a team to defeat Barney was pretty hype
The next thing you're telling me is that the Cat in the Hat comes in and destroyed and warped reality.
@@yourcordialvermillionchapw2398 Well that doesn’t happen until Phase 2 in The Grinch v The Cat In The Hat
@@IcyDiamond, Oh yeah, Cat literally becomes a God of Destruction there, and Grinch challenged him.
Though that actually was an actual Cartoon.
@@yourcordialvermillionchapw2398 Yeah I know it was, and The Cat In The Hat turned The Grinch to his side the same way Superman turned Batman to his side, by bringing up their Mom
I’ll hold my breath until Thomas & Friends pulls into theaters.
When John Ritter died in 2003, Clifford the Big Red Dog was his last TV performance and they decided to leave it at that in respect for John Ritter. But OF COURSE Hollywood had to go and spoil that.
Wow….. I didn’t know that. :(
@@shcdemolisher To quote whoever said this and made it a trend to say in Hollywood " the show must go on." they take that way too seriously, i mean it isn't that important keep things going.
Wait, Jack from Three's Company voiced Clifford?
Nickelodeon (in post-2021): We're gonna play Clifford's Really Big Movie because we know how much everyone (as in most people in the world loves the early 2000s Clifford franchise compared to how the franchise is in the early 2020s (the reboot and especially the live-action remake)
Anyone else: You think we're gonna fall for you meaning "CRBM" as in the 2021 film!? Of course that's what you mean! It's the oldest trick in the book!
What! Nooo :( I always liked Clifford’s voice in the pbs show, wow
The best part of the movie was how big their Manhattan apartment was
Who asked
I did. Don't be rude.
@@Andrew-yr6ig silence
Yeah who asked you to keep on commenting and getting the experience everybody likes.
Why does CZcams verify channels that literally never upload? I feel like it should be taken away if all a channel does is comment.
I kind of wish Studio Ghibli made a Clifford movie, I don't know how popular Clifford is in Japan but I feel like Studio Ghibli is the only production team to be able to make this charming.
Like why did Clifford need a plot? I like it if it's more slice of life comedy fun.
I feel like nowadays so many movies have an evil business man as the villain, which I always find ironic since these movies are made by big companies who probably partly agree with the villain
If more production teams just gave their creatives the freedom to make what they want, we'd have more studios like Ghibli. Every animation studio has people working there who really care about their craft, the industry's just set up in a way where all those artists are stuck creating the nose hair details in some designed-by-committee monstrosity.
There probably are loads of studios capable of making a good Clifford movie, but they would never given the freedom to make the style of movie they'd want to.
@@fv2977 I want more studios that do that. Even if it makes the quality inconsistent, its nice to see movies where its obvious the studio gave the artstis free will.
I'd love for more animated movies like that, especially because how underrated Animation is as an artform (though I hope times change considering the amount of mature content coming out as of late) and I hope artists are able to make the story they want.
Clifford isn’t really well known here (I only know about him since I read English books as a kid), so chances seem slim from the get go… but I can dream for a Ghibli adaptation.
@@niwatorimeat thanks for the response! I heavily appreciate it. And it doesnt have to be Studio Ghibli, I just think it would be nice to come from a competent animation studio that knows how to do slice-of-life and wholesome content when they want to.
I think _Paddington_ is one of the few examples of a children's book character who works _excellently_ as a movie. I didn't read the books very much, but I love how they were able to present this friendly, talking bear in an environment where he's entertaining. Sure, Paddington is just your average happy-go-lucky bear with an unusually positive attitude, but the writers were able to make a movie where it worked well. There was an origin story, a general conflict within the film that made sense, an antagonist with a unique motive, and it was actually pretty funny.
I know not everyone was into the _Paddington_ movies, but I thought I'd put my thoughts out there.
Honestly another one that kind of works is Christopher Robin, but that's because it lulls you in before you realize it's Disney.
Who wants to see Paddington 3 in the animation style of Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, Diary of a Wimpy Kid (upcoming animation of this ending year), The Peanuts Movie and (very hopefully) Pac-Man World 2 which is the cartoon versions (which there's only one of in CU and P) of the character designs brought to the half-wonderful world of CGI!
@@kieranstark7213 I always liked the live-action version of Paddington. I love the charm that the director was able to translate to that medium, from the pretty colors to the special effects. However, that doesn't mean Paddington wouldn't look good in CGI. I've seen pictures from the Nickelodeon series, and it looks really pretty too.
To summarize what I'm saying, I'd be thrilled if "Paddington 3" was live-action, but he looks pretty spiffy in CGI too.
@@slickwilli409 Because Nickelodeon will currently be infamous for being the company that sexually exploited teenage girls in more overpraised Nickcoms than just the ones by Dan Schneider and murdering Stephen Hillenburg just so they could make SpongeBob go from (barely) one of the better Nicktoons to another one of their many worst shows, I actually think that while Paddington has always had a great track record so far, even that will have a high chance of getting bastardized by Nickelodeon just like they are likely to do with Transformers (like it's Bayformers all over again), Big Nate, Star Trek (Prodigy) and Garfield with the treatment of Cartoon Network's infamous reboots, especially Thundercats Roar aka Poop Mouth With Poop Opinions (and this is coming from someone who likes the majority of CN despite making crap from time to time).
YES YES YES YES
Did they even explain that the reason Clifford grew abnormally large is because Emily Elizabeth’s immense love for him? They mention that in the book AND in the theme song from the show!
They actually mention it. Spoiler alert: at the end when she asks Bridwell what to do to shrink him back he says she can’t because he grew due to the love she had for him. He also mentions it when they first meet, but obviously it was kinda brushed off
Yes. She was angry for some reason and cried on him which like sparkled or something. The old guy mentioned it too, I think???
Yeah they explained that. Watch the movie if you get a chance. It's a feel good movie all in all.
I know no one cares but this movie isn't even accurate to the Clifford lore, hes not some Gremlins magic dog that magically got giant overnight. He was adopted from a neighbor and he grew to full size as a grown dog.
didn't they have like a whole barn for clifford in the show?
@@AlphaPizzadog yeah but in the lore they originally lived in a small apartment, so this movie is like a prequel to the actual series before they moved to the country?? Lmao
*the clifford lore*
its a petty gripe but this is literally my gripe. clifford is an ADULT DOG in most of his portrayals.
exactly and it was just a girl that love clifford unconditionally and he was smart.
it wasn't about annoying people trying to be funny and an evil corp
“just because it’s a kids movie” as if kids don’t deserve good movies ya know like …

Also, you never mentioned the fact that this movie is not, in fact, totally harmless. While watching over, you may notice a small character by the name of "Raul." Raul is portrayed by SNL alum Horatio Sanz, whom, a couple of months back, was sued for alleged sexual assault and grooming by someone who was fifteen at the time-- and Sanz was thirty something. The fact that he was not cut from this movie that both is for kids, and STARRING kids is frightening.

@@Ryan-pg1tw what???

@@Ryan-pg1tw that doesnt even make grammatical sense
the "puppy" clifford looks BAD BAD, like SO bad. They literally just scaled down the adult version lol. Looks so weird when hes spinning and hopping on the bed. Why couldn't they just put some red die on a white-fur puppy for that??
L a z i n e s s
Baby versions of lots of animals are supposed to have bigger head-to-body rations, with big expressive eyes too. It’s adorably weird, but it’s how evolution has made us to want to take care of the worst aspects of them lol. This, like you put, truly just looks like a shrunken, fully grown dog. o.O
And why is his head so small? Like with human children, puppies have larger heads is proportion to their bodies than the adults do.
@@consciousiota2161 yeah, that's been bothering me too. His head size looks so uncanny
@@deadstream3370 It looks like the creators took an adult dog and shrunk him down.

Its like pick a different city, like Houston or Peoria. God, come up with something original!
@@chrishickory7907 I feel like Clifford in a country setting would actually make sense.
This movie feels like it was made in, like, 2013. It has that look, that lazy sheen; the New York setting, even lends to this feeling.
until i read this comment, i couldn't put my finger on it. Now I realize why it feels so familiar; it's exactly this reason. It feels almost 1:1 like Enchanted from 2007, but way worse in every way. And I didn't even like Enchanted, from what I remember.
this IS the smurfs
@@autopsyturvy why did enchanted come to mind too 😭
I didn’t even know that this had a trailer yet, let alone had been released.
I did.
It was everywhere...no, wait, I'm thinking of the Eternals.
This Clifford looks so boring. Like a giant labrador that was spray painted red. A design this simple works for the cartoony drawings, but not if presented realistic. Reminds me of the "life action" Lion King movie, where they also turned character designs boring by making them realistic.
as an animation major, the live action lion king is SO HORRIBLE. like the animation is technically good but there's no heart!!! they're so lifeless and expressionless, animation is supposed to help us enhance emotions and the acting of the characters, not like make stupid lions that can barely emote emotion
I boycot any live action cartoon rip off
To be fair, his mom was a Labrador in the movie. Doesn’t mean it looks pretty but I’m glad Hollywood isn’t too stupid.
@@madisnzz but why would a magic giant red dog care about looking like his lab mom? It’s a lame design
I would've liked the movie if it was computer animated. A mixture of realistic and cartoony🤷🏾♀️
John Cleese: “Comedy is losing its edge in today’s PC culture!”
Also John Cleese: *makes Clifford the Big Red Dog*
Isn’t he hypocritical?
@@SlapstickGenius23 Yes. “He was a progressive liberal degenerate comedian in 1960s uber-white uber-polite Britain that could take the piss out of the people he saw as uptight and repressed while enjoying the clean, safe streets and quiet little hamlets full of those same, uptight, repressed, polite-to-fault, helpful, white Christian anglos.”
“Now he's an old man staring at a desolate wasteland where London is majority non-white, everyone is suspicious, the hamlets and villages
are economic dead-zones, every week there's a new group you're not allowed to make fun of. no one has a sense of humor anymore, little girls are being sold as sex slaves by your own politicians, women are being harassed in the
streets and the white men are all suspicious and surly over their lowered living standards. the sinking realization that the world he made fun of, but loved more than anything, is gone forever and will never come back.”
Ok?
I am the Clifford Community and I AM FURIOUS!
They did the same thing with the live action Kim Possible. I don't understand the obsession of taking characters who are designed to be liked by everyone and making them a loser.
It makes the stories even less relatable. I remember in the old cartoon EVERYONE loves Emily-Elizabeth because she was just a nice kid you couldn't help but root for. Maybe times are changing so we're trying to reflect that but it just makes it all feel so dry and lifeless.
WAIT WHAT?! There was a live action Kim possible?!
@@shcdemolisher yes and it wasn't pleasant
@@shcdemolisher Yes, and despite having the same creators it ended up being unpleasant dogshit.
@@eatatjoes6751 I looked at the IMDB reviews, mainly the honest negative review, and I can agree. Just another chapter on Hollywood trying to make things Live action and failing.
I said the exact same thing about Emily-Elizabeth because I vividly remember her being liked by literally everyone lol
"Then her bag of cans breaks open in the middle of class and all of the other kids berates for it and she is made a laughing stock."
Kids wouldn't do that. They aren't that cruel....
Are they?
Shit, I'm on the fence now.
if you look at the synopsis, she goes to a private school on a scholarship and the other kids call her "food stamp" so yeah. They are that cruel. Though, not always this cruel IRL; my younger brother goes to a catholic high school on a scholarship and it means fuck-all to the other kids. But kids can be mean, for sure.
Kids are absolutely like that, but there are also kids who aren’t like that
They should've made it more like the PBS Show and even have Jason Ritter voice the Dog, as an obvious (but still welcoming) tribute to his Father.

Wait the guy from gravity falls?

100%. I was big into the Clifford cartoon series when I was a kid and the setting was a reason why, it felt like comfortable escapism, whereas a city setting feels boring and claustrophobic and not at all what the tone of a Clifford story should be.
I wish this movie took a route more akin to the Curious George movie. The movie gave George a very clear personality despite him not being able to talk. The movie did a good job making the plot feel very personal to George despite having a similar structure to this movie. This is because the the Curious George movie focused primarily on George through out the plot as if he was a character with dialogue, unlike this movie which makes Clifford feel like just a dog and nothing else. This means that the plot of the Clifford movie ends up feeling more like a movie about Elizabeth with Clifford just driving the plot, and to be blunt I care more about Clifford than I do his owner.
Slightly disappointed in myself for writing about two kids toddler movies this much, lol. (Also listen to the Curious George movie soundtrack, it's surprisingly really good)
Well its no surprise, cgi clifford reminds of medication commercials
Lol
The CG is that cheap.
there was so much more to this!! the CEO guy was trying to END world hunger and clifford and emily didn't let him! also you didn't mention the scenes were cliffords family is taken to the dog pound and never mentioned again (presumably dead). I love this movie so much it hurts
Fun fact! My cousins friend was was the stunt double for emily elizabeth and apparently the production was messy
The early 2000s Clifford cartoon was the best version of the character. Back in the day when PBS did hand-drawn before everything went to flash.
That moment you realised that the guy, Elizabeth got Clifford from didn’t love him at all.
he just wants to sell them why would he?
I grew up watching the PBS Clifford cartoon as a kid and that has 10x the appeal and charm of this movie with 1000x less budget. It's so annoying when these film executives throw badly CGIed childhood characters in a lazy adventure of the big city with a generic out of place villain then justify it all with "it's just a kid's movie". That's just code these days for "it's a lazy nostalgia cash grab that only kids might enjoy." It's always very obvious when they don't care about the quality of the end product as long as the advertisements get parents to buy it for their kids.
Those Paddington movies killed the "it's just a kids movie" argument by being so good, now there are...*gasp*...expectations for "just kids movies" like this one
Unfortunately CZcams still farms those kinds of comments so you'll see 'em littered around reviews like this because we've somehow memory holed Paddington's impact.
@@eatatjoes6751 its crazy the cgi and stuff was so good.. and it wasn't nominated.. you're so right.. it seem slike its trying to be hidden.. even tho its one o the best movies
@@npcimknot958 Well, no one expected it to be good based on the earwax trailer. Hell, I didn't and stayed away from it thinking it was gonna be a Smurfs affair.
I thought we were done with live action cartoon reboots. But, for some reason, we HAD to have a tom and jerry movie, and a clifford movie.
Imagine a Amazing World Of Gumball live action film lmao
@Simple Weirdo And they’d pair him up with my favorite Gumball character, a generic white guy who has some subplot that has nothing to do with the cartoon characters!

I immediately thought that a live action movie for this was completely uneccesary
This one was strange, since I hadn’t heard of Clifford in ages. So yeah, glad you watched it to say your thoughts. I remember seeing some of the cartoons back in my day
this movie was my film professor's most anticipated movie of the season
is your professor a seven year old
That’s absolutely hilarious
some people just want to see the world burn...
What did he think of it
your professor has bad taste
When I was a kid, I remember that animated Clifford movie and I LOVED IT. I watched it like +5 times xD
Huh, really assumed the plot was going to be that Clifford was the result of the lab - not that they were just some unrelated entity trying to catch him. What a twist!
Honestly, they really should have went the "Underdog" route of all things [dog experimented on, became big, now they want him back], if they weren't gonna do a cutesy slice of life movie. Underdog SLAPPED (from what nostalgia brain thinks at least)
the live action cat in the hat movie is really good in a b-rated movie kinda way and the movie clearly doesn’t take itself seriously. The stupid humor in that movies has really shaped me.
the "dirty hoe" joke forever will be engrained in my psyche.

This is the kind of movie that exists solely so wallmart can have something playing on their tv displays
I can totally see this movie on Best Buy TV displays.
I saw this movie yesterday and I gotta say I’m kinda tired of kids movies doing the exact same thing with their stories. Like, I feel like I’ve seen this movie a million times already and executed far better. I just wish Hollywood would make more “family” movies instead of “kids” movies y’know? Then they’re not absolved of trying.
My stepmom wanted to see this last weekend because it looked cute before I told her that while yeah, it did look cute and a totally passable time at the movies - it was like the only goddamn film at our movie theater that wasn't SEE *THE ETERNALS* NOW or Dune: the Book, so it felt like you're forced at metaphorical gunpoint to see it.
Alright, real question; Does Clifford count as a Kaiju?
(Also, No, a Kaiju doesn't have to be a Japanese giant monster, pacific rim was an American movie)
Can Clifford beat Godzilla in a fight?
@@IcyDiamond no, because godzilla has a nuclear CANNON attached to his face, and Clifford is clearly an idiot in this film lolol
Kaiju is the japanese word for, "Strange beast," but it can also mean, "Monster," in english. Size doesn't make a kaiju what a kaiju is. Keep that in mind yall. :)
He'll die to 98's Godzilla that's for sure
yes he is i'll die on that hill
Go Dog Go is a classic. "I do not like your hat" dog taught me so much.

Meh, I liked the original idea. He was a runt in a normal litter that she saved and she cared for him so well and loved him so much he got huge. He got too big, so they moved to an island town with more space. There was nothing evil, it was just slice of life cuteness. There were so many other things they could do with slice of life cuteness. There are whole movies about that, case in point curious George.
Fun fact; I showed my friend a picture of Garfield from the live action movie and the trailer to this movie and he said that the Garfield movie cgi looked better than this, which says alot
as someone born in 2007 who watched pbs as a kid, i cannot imagine these characters being in live action CGI. Only an old hand-drawn animated movie from the 2000s or 90s, where it has a simple plot and good life lessons for children. any other style is weird. like yeah I'm 14 which is a *little* bit above the age range for these types of movies, but at least with other book/cartoon type movies they at least went all CGI! Such a mediocre movie idea to throw Clifford the Big Red Dog of all fucking characters onto the big screen. like wtf?? what about wild krats?? The amount of action packed shit, information about animals, and stuff about protecting the environment you could cram into and hour and a half is phenomenal!
Damn they should've made a wild krats movie, but idk how old the two irl main characters are now
Wild kratts was the stuff man

Hell, at least Horton Hears A Who, as mediocre of a rewatch that was, actually looked *fun.* This just looks like a Nickelodeon Movie from around the time Jimmy Neutron kicked off.
I remember Clifford vividly because I watched SO MUCH of it as a kid. What makes that setting work is the small town because it's wide open and Clifford is big, but it's not claustrophobic? The movie trailer makes me want to go outside.
Everyone’s opinion is different. I actually enjoyed this film and found it to be pretty funny. Plus Clifford is so cute.
I loved this movie and I’m not a cryer but..this opened things from my childhood after it ended thinking about Clifford made me cry a little bit because of how much he meant to me as a kid. Loved the movie 👍
The big red dog later killed 32 people on a rampage in the story
I watched this movie with my family and we just loved it. Really liked the movie. Especially my seven year old sister who is a big fan of Clifford.
Scooby from live action Scooby doo movies looks more like a dog than this thing
I mostly clicked on this to say this story... So, my dad is a correction's officer (aka he babysits inmates). For the longest time there was a guy there with Asperger syndrome, super sweet guy. He was going to be sent to a home and all he wanted was to see the Clifford movie so my dad pulled it up on paramount plus and made some popcorn for him so he could watch it on his last night in the jail before being sent to the home. He loved the movie and that is all that really matters.
My big takeaway from this video: Oh my God they made a Clifford movie. A Clifford movie is a thing that exists now.
Clifford's Really Big Movie was my CHILDHOOD and I HIGHLY recommend it
Clifford’s Really big movie is highly underrated
I knew just from the fact that the trailers looked like an anxiety medication commercial, that it was gonna flop lol.
Thing is, that "puppy" is just a bad model of a grown up dog scaled down to look small
So THATS why it felt so uncanny
@@kiricappuchin yes, baby mammals have different proportions than adults due to our big heads and being born undeveloped. Shorter but fatter limbs (more fat in general), big heads, foreheads and eyes, smaller jaws and tails, big paws in proportion to the body, small snouts (or noses in humans), rounder bodies and generally cuter, we want to protect them. The model just looks so wrong, like they never saw a puppy, it's unerving
The CGI man…. It’s giving the polar express on a $2 budget 🤦🏽♀️
This movie is a masterpiece before the one second mark
This version of Clifford reminds me a lot of our golden retriever puppy. (Except for the color, size and slightly shorter fur length that is)
Our puppy is pretty much a big gremlin. And also very annoying.
And I feel like that face in the thumbnail perfectly captures that gremlin energy.
The kids movie cop-out is so played to death. WHEN WE HAVE countless (mostly Disney) examples of GOOD and hell AMAZING kids' movies. If Kids' movies were all tired cash grabs, then those people would have a point, but enough have come out to show that there are great kids' movies. It's like when movies force diversity or "women" into a movie and use that as a shield from criticism, when there are great movies about diversity or with strong women leads that don't need that kind of shielding and can literally stand on their own merit as just an amazing film.
Clifford's Big Movie was actually pretty decent, I remember watching it tons as a kid. It definitely had a much more fitting and unique plotline for the character than this film, which seems like they just slapped on the most generic kids' movie formula
The series follows the Howard Family: Nice guy Mark, his wife Caroline, their eight year old daughter Emily Elizabeth, a giant 25 ft red Labradodle Retriever, and the Holland Lop named Daffodil.
Two 15-minute stories made up each half-hour episode. Usually one story featured Clifford and his canine friends, Cleo, a purple poodle, T-Bone, a yellow bulldog, and Machiavelli.
The other story would focus on the future Harem of Birdwell Island, their alpha girl of course is Emily Elizabeth herself, including the snobby Jetta Handover, Vaz the only normal kid, and Charley, the alpha male in the group and Emily’s boyfriend.
This movie, like any other live action adaptation, serves as the corruption of another childhood icon

as a representative of the clifford fandom, can confirm we are fuming
The makers of this movie also clearly we're ignorant of the existence of Clifford's Puppy Days.
This is literally a Kaiju movie
I love videos like this where Karsten just completely stops trying to be serious
As a part of the jack Whitehall fandom, I respect your observation
the fact that the villain is buster from arrested development is very off putting
My first thought when I saw this was wait there’s a Clifford movie?
I loved Clifford the big red dog until this came out.
We had a game for it and I watched the series as well
Man that was one of my favorite pbs kids shows when I was little. Then I found out they made a kinda weird looking reboot for some reason after revisiting the channel
still waiting on that over the garden wall video!
They worked so hard to make this movie I think it's nice and Clifford is cute
I don't think the evil CEO part doesn't work for me anymore because:
A) It doesn't mesh with what I've associated Clifford with growing up. I'm not saying it can't work but you'd have play it more subtlety or in a manner most subversive.
B) It almost becomes anti-science in its approach. Like think about it: the corporation could've offered free examinations and accommodations and such while letting Emily keep and live with Clifford. Also implies there's not much else to learn about a giant rouge pupper.
C)
Jeff Bezos
Bobby Kotick
Gregory J Hayes
Add some names onto the list. I'm done. This trope has lost its campiness.
At least Really Big Movie served as a decent finale to the PBS series, which actually holds up decently for a preschool cartoon. Idk what to say about this movie lol
now that i think about it, how did that guy know that the dog grows from love? the puppy was small before. does it shrink when people hate it enough, or is an absence of love enough?
maybe he's of an obscure breed of love-feeding dogs
