Clifford the Big Red Dog	comment	Clifford the Big Red Dog. If you're from North America, you've most probably heard of this series of picture books, although you probably didn't know that the first book was originally published in 1963. Since then, many, many more books have been published, as well as more than one animated adaptation.The books, which were written by Norman Bridwell, star the adventures of the eponymous Clifford, a giant of a dog, and his owner, Emily Elizabeth Howard. Clifford originally started out as the runt of the litter, but Emily Elizabeth's love made him growâ€”and grow, and grow, and grow, ad infinitum. Well, not quite â€” he stopped growing once he was about twenty-five feet high, although his height isn't set in stone; it varies, depending on the story. He was way too big for the Howards to properly take care of Clifford in the city at this point, so they moved to the country (Birdwell Island in the TV adaptation) where he could have more room to move around.In the 80s, Nelvana picked up the rights to the series and spun off six half-hour direct to video specials with it. Starring Alyson Court opposite Brent Titcomb, each special featured a typical slice-of-life storyline peppered with two songs, and was animated with No Fourth Wall, allowing Emily and Clifford (as a Talking Animal) to "converse" directly with the viewers, but strangely Emily and Clifford could never converse among themselves in English, as to leverage on Scholastic's then-recent study that children learned better through participation rather than through repetition. After that, the franchise reverted to books (unless you count in the discontinuity that is "Clifford's Sing Along Adventure", the live-action mixed footage direct to video special by Warner Home Video that was released in 1986).This went on until the year 2000. Scholastic wanted to do another animated adaptation. Throwing away the old format and rebooting the continuity, it now featured Grey DeLisle as Emily Elizabeth, opposite John Ritter as Clifford, with two new characters added to the leading cast, these being timid bulldog T-Bone (Kel Mitchell) and hyperactive poodle Cleo (Cree Summer). The new version was such a phenomenal success that it ran for two seasons, spun off a movie, and even resulted in a licensed kiddie ride. Things weren't so rosy after the movie, however. John Ritter passed away shortly after of an aortic dissection on the set of 8 Simple Rules (at that point called 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter). While no new episodes of the original series were planned and a spin-off was in the works, the death of Mr. Ritter cemented the decision to end the original show. The spin-off was titled Clifford's Puppy Days. Two seasons were made before Scholastic decided to take a break from making a series out of the franchise again, while maintaining the series franchise. The books are still being printed, along with merchandise.In May 2012, it was announced that Universal and Illumination Entertainment were working together to create a new Clifford movie, which would be based on the original book, but wouldn't have anything to do with the television series. However, the film went into Development Hell and Universal ended up moving on to other projects, causing the rights to expire. The rights were then picked up by Paramount, and Justin Malen (who penned the Baywatch movie) was attached as screenwriter. Watch the teaser here. The film was released on November 10, 2021 in theaters and on Paramount+.Norman Bridwell passed away in December of 2014. Two more books were released after his death, but it seemed that the series has come to a final end following that....until a reboot was released in December 2019, produced and distributed by 9 Story Media Group for Prime Video, with episodes also being broadcast jointly on PBS Kids (which, for its purposes, labels it as "Season 3" on its video app). Further information revealed that the series shows Clifford and Emily Elizabeth talking directly to each other, that a massive new book launch in association with the series is planned, and that the Paramount film was still in the works at that time. Among the staff of the remake is Jennifer Oxley, known for series such as Peg + Cat and Wonder Pets!. Books featuring the new design and continuity began releasing in June 2019.

Prominent examples include when she initially tried to hog the spotlight at her baby brother's own arrival party and when she nominated herself for Islander of the Year, for something she mostly managed to do with Cliffordâ€™s help at that. Suffice to say, her efforts usually leave her humbled in some way. Her conceitedness seems to have rubbed off onto Mac, who is similarly smug and early on was not above showing off even to his closest friends, much to their chagrin; He does get better as the series goes on, though. Cleo has her moments of this as well. Though in one episode when she brags about her latest dog show win to her friends, she has enough sense to realize later why this wasn't fair to them and apologizes for getting carried away.

Clifford the Big Red Dog / int_2d8da79	comment	Clueless Aesop: "A New Friend" introduces KC, a three-legged dog who Cleo fears at first but eventually grows to like. The intended Aesop was to be nice to disabled people, but a 2008 study found that Cleo's fear caused children to take the moral literally, saying that it was about being kind to three-legged dogs. On the contrary, an edited version where Cleo's fear was removed tested better with children, as they understood the moral. It's likely that the 11-minute runtime and usage of a dog in lieu of a disabled human made the execution wonky.

Mary didn't want to do her piano performance in "Stage Struck" as she is afraid of doing it in front of people. Emily Elizabeth tells that she would perform with her, but this was changed as she was stuck in a magic box when Vaz was trying to find the key. Mary was afraid of doing it by herself, but Emily encourages her that she can do it, and just reminds her that she can by just imagining that there's only Clifford.

Clifford the Big Red Dog / int_78d0ebcf	comment	Crying Wolf: "The Dog Who Cried Woof" has Cleo repeatedly telling the others a ghost skunk named Wiffy, who she'd told ghost stories about, was after her as a prank and they finally get fed up with it and leave after Clifford sees she's playing another trick. When she gets her bow stuck on a bush, she calls for help, but they are too far away to hear her. Then a real skunk appears and sprays her. Meanwhile, Clifford and T-Bone hear that Cleo still hasn't arrived home, so they return to the woods to look for her, and they smell that she got sprayed. Cleo apologizes to Clifford and T-Bone for her cruel pranks and promises never to do it again. The next day, after receiving several baths in a row to get rid of the smell, a now complimentary-odored Cleo exits the vet's office where Clifford and T-Bone are waiting outside.

Clifford the Big Red Dog / int_7ec8506d	comment	Animal Talk: In the 2000 Scholastic series, Clifford and his animal friends can talk to each other, but humans can not understand them; whenever a human is around, all that comes out is barking. The dogsâ€™ ability to communicate with other animals is a bit inconsistent. Monkeys, cats, and elephants are capable of speech, while rabbits, whales, squirrels, skunks, frogs, seals, crabs, and birds seem to be completely speechless. The prequel series introduce Daffodil and Norville, who can talk and are respectively a rabbit and a bird, making things more confusing. In the 2019 series, Clifford and his animal friends talk both to each other and to the humans, though only Emily Elizabeth can understand them. And let's not forget in the Really Big Movie, there's a talking chihuahua and dachshund, along with a talking ferret and cow, to the side and for luck.

Clifford the Big Red Dog / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: A rather literal example. In â€œSpecial Deliveryâ€�, Clifford is delivering a present that is meant to be mailed to Emily Elizabeth's cousin for her birthday. When he runs into Cleo and T-Bone at the post office, Cleo's first instinct is to take the package and open it to find out what it is, even though it's not hers to play with. It turns out to be a rubber ball that automatically self-inflates, and when they can't get it to deflate Clifford sits on the ball to force it in the box. It ends about as well as you'd expect. The conflict in â€œScreaming for Ice Creamâ€� is caused by Samuelâ€™s ice cream machine going haywire, and all of Charleyâ€™s attempts at fixing the machine only making it pour even more ice cream than before.

As she spends time with Charley and Clifford in the latterâ€™s doghouse, they think of the good things Mr. Bleakman has done, which are told through flashbacks, including one to â€œBabysitter Bluesâ€�. â€�Clifford Grows Upâ€� is a flashback to a post-growth spurt Cliffordâ€™s time in the city and what he could (not) do because of his size, told by Emily Elizabeth as a final bedtime story. â€�Friends Foreverâ€� is mostly a flashback to T-Boneâ€™s time spent as a puppy with his first friend, Hamburger, and how they dealt with Hamburger and his owner moving away. T-Bone tells the story to Clifford and Cleo as he is waiting at the dock for Hamburger to arrive in the ferry. Turns out that Hamburger moved away the same day Clifford and the Howards moved to Birdwell Island. The 2000 seriesâ€™ last episode, â€œGetting to Know Youâ€�, is a flashback to the earlier parts of Clifford and T-Boneâ€™s friendship and how they learned to adapt to each otherâ€™s traits.

And ultimately, he does win. But when T-Bone so graciously offers up his collar as part of the agreement, the only thing that keeps Mac from taking the spoils is his guilty conscience. At everyone's insistence he won fair and square, he comes clean and admits he cheated. In "The Best Party ever", Clifford lets Charley and Emily in on Jenna's secret (she isn't going to a big party and is bored out of her skull, but is too proud to admit it). Rather than call her out on her lie, Emily offers Jenna an out in the form of coming to a "better" party, courtesy of Clifford acting as the water slide.

In â€œThe Dog Parkâ€�, Mr. Bleakman becomes so fed up with the dogs interfering with his birdwatching in the park that he actually convinces the sheriff to ban all dogs from the park just so he can finally have some peace and quiet. Instead nobody comes to the park because they can't enjoy the company of their dogs. This forces Mr. Bleakman to realize that he had been selfish in his actions.

The dogsâ€™ shenanigans are played straight. Some of the things they do indicate that they just might be more intelligent than they let on and yet, the human characters treat their actions as if they were perfectly normal.

Some, like T-Bone's yellow and Mac's blue, can be interpreted as exaggerations of colors like blonde and grey, but then there are ones like Cleo, the purple poodle. The eponymous dog from the Speckle stories is yellow, whereas his friend Luna is an orange raccoon, and his other friend Ravi is a partially blue panda.

Cue Emily singing about how great Clifford is- to a tune that sounded bitter. This also happens to some extent in the movie, who's music and lyrics are, unsurprisingly, scored and written by Jody Gray. Although the movie leans towards Mood Whiplash instead.

Needless to say, it doesn't work out. Another good example is when Clifford volunteers to watch T-Bone's pile of leaves while he's away from the group, intending to jump on them later. Clifford however gives into temptation and takes the jump without T-Bone's permission, resulting in his entire pile being blown away. Clifford resolves to collect every single leaf he can from the pile, as in the exact same leaves that have now been blown all across the island, even rejecting every other leaf he can sense was not from T-Bone's pile. Naturally, Cleo thinks he's being ridiculous, and yet somehow he manages to pull it off all before T-Bone gets back. The prohibition sign in â€œStinky Friendsâ€� shows a human silhouette, so Cleo assumes that dogs are still allowed to play in the bushy fields.
