00:00Let's gather round and read a story about Clifford the Big Red Dog.
00:04It's called Clifford's Really Big Movie, Amazing Animals.
00:09Emily Elizabeth and her big red dog, Clifford, lived on Birdwell Island.
00:14The carnival was in town, and Emily Elizabeth went on rides with her friends Charlie and Jetta.
00:21Clifford enjoyed the great carnival food with his friends Cleo and T-Bone.
00:26Everyone went to see Larry's Amazing Animal Show.
00:31Larry Gablegobble announced each act.
00:34Rodrigo the Chihuahua lifted weights and dropped them. Clunk.
00:39Dorothy the Cow walked a tightrope.
00:42Shackleford the Ferret flew off his trapeze swing, landed on Dorothy's head, and started to juggle.
00:49A balloon floated up to Dorothy and made her lose her balance. Thunk.
00:55Dirk the Extreme Dachshund did stunts on his rocket skates.
01:00Too fast. Smash.
01:03Clifford, Cleo, and T-Bone thought the show was great.
01:08They went backstage afterward to meet the stars.
01:12Shackleford the Ferret peered up at Clifford, amazed by his giant size.
01:17Do you want to join our cast?
01:20Wow, said Cleo. I love showbiz.
01:24We're entering a contest, said Shackleford.
01:27The winners get fame, fortune, and a lifetime supply of tummy yummies.
01:33Thank you for your offer, replied Clifford.
01:35But we can't come with you. Sorry.
01:38Well, here's the ad for the contest anyway, said Shackleford.
01:42He gave it to Cleo.
01:44The next morning, Emily Elizabeth brought Clifford his breakfast.
01:49Then she went back inside the house.
01:51Clifford has a big appetite, said Mr. Bleakman.
01:56Big? Mr. Howard said with a smile.
01:59It's huge.
01:59That dog must eat you out of house and home, said Mr. Bleakman.
02:05Feeding him must be a big problem.
02:08Well, it isn't always easy, admitted Emily Elizabeth's father.
02:14Clifford couldn't believe his ears.
02:16I'm a big problem, he thought.
02:20He ran out of the yard.
02:21But we don't mind, said Mrs. Howard.
02:24We love Clifford.
02:26He's one of the family, said Mr. Howard.
02:29Clifford couldn't hear them.
02:31He was already too far away.
02:34Is something wrong? asked Cleo.
02:37I need to find a way to feed myself, Clifford told them.
02:41I'll join Larry's Amazing Animal Show and win the lifetime supply of tummy yummies.
02:47He took Cleo's ad and hurried home.
02:51That night, Clifford said goodbye to Emily Elizabeth without waking her up.
02:56Then he headed off to find the carnival.
03:00Down by the beach, Cleo called out.
03:03Not so fast, big guy.
03:05We're going with you, panted T-Bone.
03:09We'll come home as soon as we win the contest, promised Clifford.
03:13In a city across the sea, the dogs soon found Larry's Amazing Animal Show.
03:19All the animals welcomed them warmly.
03:22Welcome to the family, said Larry.
03:25Now we really have a chance of winning the tummy yummies contest.
03:30Emily Elizabeth missed Clifford terribly and searched for him all over Birdwell Island.
03:36She and Charlie found a giant paw print on the beach.
03:40I think the dogs left the island, said Emily Elizabeth.
03:44But why?
03:45As the show traveled from city to city, the performers got better and better.
03:51Clifford helped a lot.
03:54He helped Dorothy get over her fear of heights.
03:56He helped Rodrigo feel more sure of himself on stage.
04:00And he helped Dirk learn to control his skateboard.
04:06They were ready for the big contest.
04:09At the contest, Larry's Amazing Animals performed their stunts.
04:14And Clifford saved the show.
04:16The audience cheered.
04:18They especially loved Clifford.
04:21Emily Elizabeth watched the tummy yummies contest on TV.
04:25And the winner is...
04:28Larry's Amazing Animal Show.
04:30Said the announcer.
04:32Clifford!
04:33Shouted Emily Elizabeth.
04:35Emily Elizabeth and her parents brought Clifford, T-Bone, and Cleo home.
04:40Now they had enough tummy yummies to last a lifetime.
04:44Clifford stepped in a puddle.
04:46And got mud all over Mr. Bleakman's car.
04:50Splash!
04:51Clifford!
04:52Shouted Mr. Bleakman.
04:54But then he smiled.
04:56It's good to have you back, boy.
04:58Welcome home, Clifford!
05:01Said Emily Elizabeth.
05:03Woof!
05:04Said Clifford.
05:05He had enjoyed his big adventure with Larry's Amazing Animal Show.
05:10But Clifford was happy to be back on Birdwell Island with all the family and friends he loved.
05:16The End.
05:18The End.
05:34Music
05:35You
