CLIFFORD The Big Red Dog
The film starts in a warehouse where a mother dog is taking care of her puppies, including one who is bright red. Two animal control officers come in and take the dog and her puppies, but they miss the red one. He fails to catch them before they are gone, and the little red dog finds himself all alone in the city.
Elsewhere in Harlem, New York is Emily Elizabeth Howard (Darby Camp), who just started school on a scholarship and doesn’t have any friends, with her always getting teased by a snobby girl named Florence (Mia Ronn). Emily lives with her mother Maggie (Sienna Guillory), who has to leave Emily for a work emergency. Emily then goes out around the neighborhood to collect cans to recycle for a school charity drive. She meets other people like bodega owner Sanchez (Paul Rodriguez) and his employee Raul (Horatio Sanz), lawyer couple Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis (Keith Ewell and Bear Allen-Blaine), cranky neighbor Mrs. Crullerman (Tovah Feldshuh), and magician Malik (Russell Peters). Meanwhile, Maggie’s younger brother Casey (Jack Whitehall) is shown to be homeless and lives in his van, where an officer who knows him tells him he has to move and also to pay some fines. Casey goes to a job interview, where he is over an hour late, and he leaves feeling defeated. He later goes to Maggie and Emily’s apartment, where neither are too pleased to see him due to his immaturity, but he is the closest thing to a guardian that Maggie can find for Emily.
The little red dog finds himself in the city, but runs away from danger. He runs into a park where he meets the kindly Mr. Bridwell (John Cleese), who takes him in.
Casey takes Emily out into the city where she gets excited as she sees a tent for rescued animals, operated by Mr. Bridwell. The two enter and find a number of animals, like a sloth, rabbit, snake, and a hyena with a long neck that makes him look like a baby giraffe. Mr. Bridwell introduces himself to Emily and Casey before she sets her eyes on the little red dog. Emily asks Mr. Bridwell how big the dog will get, and he says it depends on how much she loves him. Although she instantly falls in love with him, Casey says that they can’t take him home, leaving her sad.
Emily later goes to school where she is made fun of by Florence for collecting cans for the charity when all the other kids just have their parents write checks. Emily...
