Jason Pham
If you read the books as a kid, you may want to know how to watch Clifford the Big Red Dog online for free to see the live-action version of everyone’s favorite Big Red Dog.
Clifford the Big Red Dog is based on Norman Bridwell’s children’s book series of the same title, which was first published in 1963. The movie follows Emily Elizabeth Howard, a middle school student in New York City, who adopts a small red puppy named Clifford from a magical animal rescuer. Overnight, Clifford becomes a gigantic red dog and attracts the attention of Lifegro, a genetics company who wants to make supersized animals. The film follows Emily Elizabeth and her uncle, Casey, as they chase Clifford around New York City as they try to save him from Lifegro.
In an interview with Collider, director Walt Becker explained why he decided to make a live-action adaptation of Clifford the Big Red Dog, which was made into an animated series in the 2000s and 2019. “I just loved how that story took a magical, special creature that came into the life of the young protagonist, and they both were learning from each other. They have the ability to kind of communicate, but not really talk,” he said. For me, what attracted me to the character, besides it being a dog, was that it’s something that I’d read my kids and was my first. It seems like it’s everybody’s first book. It was just this incredible family adventure movie with a slightly magical creature affecting everybody in a real world city, like New York. That’s probably what attracted me to it.”
