Reviews for Clifford's Really Big Movie
This feature, spun off from the PBS series, will provide preschoolers with comfort and amusement, though not rapture or enchantment.
Clifford’s Really Big Movie is easily consumed and disposed of entertainment for the small fry...
The movie is tamer than tame in every respect, which makes it great for little kids, if not for the grownups who bring them.
Belies its name with its formulaic storytelling and lackluster animation.
A really big yawn...No one whose age is into double digits will find much to enjoy in this gentle, innocuous and very dull feature.
How exactly does one lose a dog as red as a plum tomato and as big as an airplane hangar? This big-screen version of the animated PBS series offers a pallid, yet reasonably painless, reply.
So, how big is Clifford’s Really Big Movie? Maybe too big for a toddler’s britches.
The animation has cheap-and-fast written all over it. It's so chintzy, the characters look as if they've come straight from a box of Colorforms.
Little more than a supersized version of the popular PBS animated series that's stopping briefly in theaters en route to its natural habitat -- video.
The limited animation style looks static on the big screen and the movie is too long for its age group even at 75 minutes. (It was too long for my age group, too.)
