Clifford The Big Red Dog movie Plot
Clifford The Big Red Dog movie Emily Elizabeth Howard is a young middle school student living with her mother Maggie in New York City. Emily is regularly bullied while finding comfort in her only friend Owen Yu. One day, Emily is left in the hands of her homeless and irresponsible uncle Casey while Maggie goes to Chicago for a business trip.
Mr. Bridwell, who runs an animal rescue tent at a carnival, introduces Emily to a small red puppy whose family had been stolen by a dogcatcher. He tells her that the puppy will grow bigger in size based on how much love he receives. Casey says no to the adoption, knowing that his sister will never allow it and that dogs are prohibited in her apartment building. When Emily gets home from school that day, after being bullied once again, she finds that the puppy has stowed away in her backpack and names him Clifford. Emily tries to convince Casey to let her keep him and he allows her to keep Clifford only for one night. A heartbroken Emily tearfully wishes for Clifford to be big and strong as her tears trickle onto his nose while falling asleep with him.
The next day, Emily wakes up to realize Clifford is gigantic in size. Casey also learns about this and they both attempt to hide him from the building’s superintendent, Mr. Packard, as he fixes the dishwasher. They take him to the vet, thinking he is possibly ill while attempting to hide him from everyone. This fails dramatically since Clifford’s dog instincts cause him to chase and play with a man in an inflatable bubble, seeing it as a game of fetch. This attracts large crowds and the word of his existence quickly spreads online. After learning from the vet’s secretary of Mr. Bridwell’s past miracles with animals and their owners, they plan to get information on his whereabouts from the private school’s computer. As Emily is getting lunch for Clifford from the cafeteria, Clifford escapes from Casey’s truck while one of the bullies, Florence, bumps into and bullies Emily again, only for Clifford to enter the cafeteria and humiliate Florence. This finally gives Emily the friends she always wanted.
Zac Tieran, the owner of a biotechnology company named Lyfegro, discovers Clifford on social media. He lies to the police that it is his dog and has them search for Clifford. Emily and Casey are evicted by Mr. Packard because of Clifford. After being chased by the police and Lyfegro guards, they take shelter in Owen’s lavish apartment. Casey then makes a deal with Emily that if they find Mr. Bridwell and take his advice, he will allow her to keep him. But if he is unable to help, then they have to send him away to Shanghai by boat. They race to the hospital only to find Bridwell’s empty bed, and a patient sitting next to them who tells that Mr. Bridwell died. Clifford is then sent away by a boat arranged by Owen’s father, as Emily tearfully says goodbye to him.
The next day, Clifford is captured on the ship and sent to Lyfegro. Emily learns Mr. Bridwell did not die, but that the information they received at the hospital was false. They try to save Clifford from being operated on at Lyfegro, aided by friends from their neighborhood. They break into Lyfegro and rescue Clifford as they flee in Casey’s truck with him, and race to Mr. Bridwell while being pursued by the police and Lyfegro’s security guards. They eventually reach Mr. Bridwell at a carnival at Manhattan Bridge Park.
A large crowd gathers as Emily desperately asks Mr. Bridwell to help, and he tells her that the only way to solve her problem is by standing up for herself and for Clifford and that being different is a gift. Emily then gives an inspirational speech to the crowd, explaining to everyone that love is more important than anything, and they should ignore their differences. However, Zac intervenes and forces the police to see who the owner is by checking an ID chip he had implanted. Through a bit of magic, the chip identifies Emily as Clifford’s rightful owner, and Zac is arrested for fraud and theft. The whole crowd attempts to take a picture with Clifford in celebration, but then Clifford sees another giant ball and chases it with Casey suddenly riding on his back.
Emily, Casey, and her mother are accepted back into their apartment by Mr. Packard, Casey gets a job at Scholastic and Clifford is now loved by everyone.
