Clifford the Big Red Dog movie teaser reveals terrifying first look at Clifford – CNET

There are big dogs, and there are BIG dogs. On Wednesday, Paramount Pictures released a brief teaser featuring the biggest dog of all: Clifford the Big Red Dog, star of the studio’s live-action movie adaptation of the beloved children’s book. Paramount also invited readers to share photos of their own pups, and some folks did — others, though, debated whether the Clifford shown in the teaser was a fair representation of the famous pooch.

“Hol up,” wrote one Twitter user. “Is he CGI or y’all just paint a dog red without his consent?”

“How you gonna get a dog’s consent?” replied another member of the Twitterati. “Bark if you want to be painted!”

Some social-media users were disturbed by shots of the filming, which showed a giant dog costume that kind of looked like a red dinosaur skeleton.

And others just didn’t think a Clifford movie was necessary, or simply had fun playing a bit of human bites dog.

“I already don’t like it,” wrote one social-media user. “How Clifford is portrayed in the books and in the tv series, he should almost be the size of Godzilla.”
