| I took my three-year-old to see this at the cinema and I would like to make two points about that trip that reflect the quality of this film.
1, We were the only two people in the entire auditorium
2, He fell asleep half way through the film
He loves the TV show and I often sit with him to watch as it is an entertaining and informative show with no edge.
The lack of edge however, is one of the major downfalls of the movie. With very little conflict, the film struggles to keep pace over its (extremely short) running time. The educational factor of the show ("Read Books Kids!") is completely missing and the few jokes that appeared were pretty predictable. This may entertain an undeserning three-year-old but not mine and there is absolutely nothing there for adults. With the advent of the likes of Toy Story, I thought that this kind of bland rubbish had ceased to be made.
The plot has potential but the bland script and even blander characters scupper any chances of interest. The voice cast are generally poor (the show's cast seem to have been replaced and John Goodman is wasted) and the only character who shows any potential at all - a ferret - is an obvious rip-off of The Lion King's Timon. The animation is, if anything, of a lower standard than the show in places and the general feel is "why on earth has this been given a cinema release?" Many of these flaws may be diminished on TV but with high quality Direct to Retail animations coming out of Warners (Scooby-Doo especially), how did this stand out as being better?
The word is BLAND. |

| My son loves Clifford, he is 2 1/2. He loves the PBS show, he loves the videos and he is simply stunned by the movie. It has much better animation then the typical show. The characters look a little diff. but that doesn't seem to matter to him. It has a great story, helps him learn a lesson, and John Ritter is great. If your child loves Clifford he'll love this! |

| An excellent 74-minute episode of "Clifford" - the show works well as an animated feature-length film. "Clifford's Really Big Movie" uses more sophisticated animation techniques, so the characters look a little different than the TV show but the voices sound the same.
Note that most of the story in the movie takes place on the "mainland" (i.e., NOT on Birdwell Island) with a new set of characters that are part of an itinerant animal circus act. The plot revolves around an adventure with Clifford, T-Bone, and Cleo - the other "Clifford" characters (i.e., the residents of Birdwell Island, including Emily Elizabeth) are peripheral to the story. |
