Based on the classic character and book by Norman Bridwell, “Clifford the Big Red Dog” stars Darby Camp as Emily, a girl whose daily run in with a smirking school bully have made her miserable.
Not helping is the unwanted visit from her unreliable brother (Jack Whitehall), who agrees to watch her while mom is away. The two of them find themselves in the presence of Mr. Bridwell and his pop-up tent with animals for sale (which is, in the vein of “Doctor Who,” noted to be bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside).
This is where Emily discovers a red puppy, who magically pops up in her backpack the following day.
Bridwell’s instructions of the puppy growing as big as a child’s love for it goes unheeded, as the dog eventually is so enormous, it barely fits inside...
