Editorial Review:
Amazo.com :
Disney has always done right by the classic 'boy and his dog' adventure, and Big Red, adapted from the popular novel by Jim Kjelgarrd, is no exception. Wealthy sportsman Walter Pidgeon buys a beautiful Irish setter to turn into a champion show dog and hires spunky young Gilles Payant, a French-speaking country boy teaching himself English, to care for the dog. But boys will be boys and as Gilles and the setter run through forests, chasing critters and rolling down hills, Red loses all interest in show business discipline as he bonds with the kid. Pidgeon makes a gentle and understanding paternal father figure who grows to love the uneducated but hard-working lad, who grows from impulsive adolescent to courageous young man, but apart from a shattering accident that leaves Red near death, there's little real excitement to the lolling tale. Disney house director Norman Tokar proves more adept in filming the stately wilderness landscape than developing the dramatic possibilities of the script, but there's a charm to the innocent scenes of the boy and his dog at play in the great outdoors. It's a nostalgic world of blue skies, green meadows, rushing rivers of blue and white water, and mountain peaks shooting into the sky. What more could a boy and his dog ask for? --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - Great service and product quality for Big Red order
This company had the best price and a quality as promised product in my order of Big Red. The delivery time was excellent. I would recommend them to any buyer as outstanding.

Yes, that's right!! You can get Big Red, the original Disney classic on DVD, widescreen, region 1, brand new, for under $20.00!! It is now on sale through the Disney Movie Club. It is EXCLUSIVE to the club, and you don't need to tape it from TV, wade through lots of commercials or deal with the problems of converting it from a PAL format to one that will work in the United States!! Joining the Disney Movie Club is free, and they have lots of titles to choose from. This is a wonderful classic ... Read More
Rating:  - Region 2 DVD
hey guys,
Get a copy of DVD shrink, selection region free and copy it. Technically that may violate copy write laws, but its against the law TO ROB CUSTOMERS with a format you cannot play !
Rating:  - Good Movie/Wrong Storyline/Wake up People!
Does anyone know why the screenplay was not adapted from the original Big Red by Jim Kjelgaard? I think it stinks. I can't believe I am the only person who has ever read the Jim Kjelgaard books! Nobdy else seems to care or relate. I used to like the Disney movies when I was growing up. I am glad my parents made us read books as opposed to watching television. I guess nobody reads anymore or I would have had lots of concurring opinions. Everyones is content to sit in front of a TV, movie or computer ... Read More
Rating:  - no CC, huh?
I had ordered it through marketplace twice and had to send them back for refund a couple of times because of incorrect format and no closed captioning. It took me a long time to look around and waiting. Finally, Hallmark Channel was showing it this morning with CC and I recorded it on tape. I will dub it to DVD-R while cutting out the commericals later. Saves me money to buy an expensive hard to find DVD. Thanks Hallmark!
