Oooh, we’ve been clamoring for this book….
(Ok, it was a small clamor….
but a clamor is a clamor, right?)
Cleo Clifford, the big red basset…..
beloved of puppies everywhere…
a staple of PBBS * , now starring in her own movie!
Wow… what an absolute ton of red fur dye it must have taken!
and pounds of purplie shadow…..
( * Public Basset Broadcasting Network, of course.)
Oh. Wait.
They didn’t really make Cleo gain 1500 pounds and grow 6 stories high, did they.
She’d never agree to ruin her girlish figure…. she still has glamorous parts ahead of her.
Camera tricks. That’s what it was.
A gallon of fur dye…. and a few pots of puplie shadow, by the time shooting was over.
But that’s a lot.
My congratulations to the excellent stylists.
I wondered if there was a copycat human version….
But I didn’t see anything with a big red person.
Then I realised….
heck, there are humans in Cleo’s version, since she found small roles for Clara and Claude.
But there’s also a wonderful cast of bassets and other dogs.
Finally, I found a copycat…
but instead of a human star, they sneaked in another breed of dog.
Some unknown big red dog. What’s the point?
And while there are a few humans…. all the species are mixed up….
it looks like Claude’s role went to a cow!

Knowing they didn’t have a big star like Cleo Clifford, they didn’t use their dog’s first name!
And they made the smaller animals do tricks.
You don’t see Clara balancing a huge…. um…. what is that thing? … while standing on Cleo’s paw.
NO…
