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

 You can get this movie without paying outrageous prices!! October 21, 2008
Beki Bastiaans (Oxnard, CA USA)
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 movie about a boy and his dog - don't miss out!!

 Good Movie/Wrong Storyline February 3, 2007

How come Disney did not adapt the original storyline from Jim Kjelgaard's book? I loved the charactors of the original Big Red Story. I have tried to watch this movie several times and can't get past the strange adaptation. This has always been a mystery to me. Judging from all of the postive reviews it must be a good movie so I will have to commit to watching it some day. I wish Disney would remake the movie to follow the original Big Red Story. I would think that Jim Kjelgaard would have wanted his story told? Maybe there was a copyright dispute with the publisher. I would give anything to see the Big Red Story I grew up with!

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!

Why is it that people take advantage of others on this website? I've seen Big Red on TV, and believe me, it's not worth ninety five bucks! It's about a boy and a dog, and so was Old Yeller. Would you pay that for Old Yeller? I think not. Come on people, quit holding movies over families heads, just because they are rare and hard to find. My sister has this on VHS she bought years ago, so that's where I'll go when I feel the urge to watch this. People come on, just wait, sooner or later it'll be at a store nearest you. Nothing in the movie world is worth this much. After all, it was on the Hallmark channel just last week, watch it on the TV, not from these guys! I've been waiting for years for Sergeant York to come out on DVD, and they were charging just like this too, but I waited, and guess what? I bought it yesterday for under twenty dollars. So wait, and you'll see this one sooner, or later too.
