Clifford becomes a movie

 

    If you don't remember a big red dog in you past, then you might never have read the book Clifford the big red dog. A story book created by Norman Bridwell.

    What is it about" And why is it becoming a movie? Well, here's how it all started.

    The first book came out around the sixties that starred a young girl who wanted an unusual dog. She found a big red one, and well history was made. There were a few book series about the girl named Emily Elizabeth and her big red dog that is named Clifford.

   Around 2000 to 2003, there was a cartoon that was about the big red dog. He was voiced by the late John Ritter, and the show was a big hit for Children. But sadly, the show ended when John Ritter died. Did I see this show? No, but I have heard about it. It seemed like a good show for kids. It taught some valuable on how to share and how to be true to who you are and all that stuff.

 

 They even had Clifford in his puppy days which came in books and a short lived cartoon series. Clifford could fit in the palm of your hand when he was a puppy. Wow. This dog was so adorable, nobody knew how big he was going to get.

Sadly, this was the last time John Ritter would voice the big red dog named Clifford. This movie, which is titiled Clifford's really big movie, which seems to be in CGI, was dedicated in his memory. This movie is about Clifford joining the circus. There are some new characters that befriend Clifford, and I'm guessing a mean circus owner wants Clifford to be in his show. I'm not sure. I never saw this movie.

But the movie I wanna talk about...well, get ready for this...

  Live action and CGI make Clifford look atrocious. Hidious. It's just. Why does every cartoon or cartoon movie have to become live action and CGI. What's next, a Curious George movie in live action? I hope not. Not many details are in this one but, the dog speaks volume on this one. I don't know how I feel. I don't know if I'm ever gonna see it, but one things is for sure....this dog will give children nightmares.

   I'll try to remember Clifford as I did through the books and the John Ritter cartoon. This live action might be good for some kids, but for me, the kid at heart, he was a cartoon always. I never was big on the books or the show, but I'll always remember...the big red dog.
