Always thought it was a stupid premise


I mean, why does the dog grow so big? And why such a bright shade of red?

This sounds like one of those random ideas that children's authors think of that somehow take root.

And I bet the story is conventional with a predictable ending, too.

Dont try to find logic. It was a popular children's series of books. Kids just thought it was a cool premise.

Yeah...I love it! BTW Emily E.sould have said,off topic, that other dogs of other breeds (boxer, bloodhound, great dane, st.bernard, newfie,etc.) are just as big as hers,only that as a lab retriever (and that type of dog in that shade DOES EXIST), he's, well, big for his breed.Saw it yesterday.loved the movie,too.

You are either a troll Or a very unhappy person. LIGHTEN UP! Enjoy life. Smile. Have fun.

It’s all in fun and fantasy. And lends itself to a lot of humorous situations. I loved the books as a kid and am looking forward to seeing the movie.

thank you i know this is an old post but i just finished watching the movie!it was cute and had a nice message also!ive always liked clifford and read the books as a kid!

reply

I mean the premise is pretty simple.


Clifford needed Emily
So she chose him for her own.
And the love made clifford grow so big
that the Howard's had to leave their home.

Make sense?

Ok that’s funny. Even in ALL CAPS, which I think you do just to frost everyone else’s nuts, including mine!
