This is a touching movie about an orphan boy who is hired by a heartless,wealthy sportsman to train his handsome Irish setter, Big Red.
Soon the boy and dog become inseparable,much to the owner's disapproval,and the boy is fired.
The bonds of loyalty are tested when Big Red runs away and all hope is lost of ever finding him again.
The strong bond that exists among man, boy and dog lead them all into a series of thrilling adventures, setting the course for a life-or-death battle with an unexpected adversary-a cougar!
This is a story brimming with friendship, courage and adventure that will forever touch the hearts of young and old alike.
Highly recommended!

I do hate reviews that tell us the storyline so just a few lines to say go buy this movie for a real family treat.
A big red dog, a soppy all American teenager of the 1960s and Walter Pidgeon (sadly without Greer Garson) all wrapped up in a touching story makes this a real nice movie. Of course disney studios involvement doesn't harm the package either.

Big Red
9 April 2000
Wow! what a lovely family film about a beautiful Irish Red Setter and a boy who cares for him. It is based on the characters in the James Kjelgaard books but is NOT a film of the book "Big Red". But do not let that put you off! The scenery is breathtaking, the storyline is great family and dog lover fare and the acting beautiful and innocent
I have been searching for this film for 5 years and the wait was well worth it. This is one for the dog lovers and famalies with young children who love dogs.

Indescribable Beauty
23 Mar 2000
Format:DVD
I must have watched this picture a million times, and still never get tired of it. It has the same affect on me today and my child. The scenery is breathtaking, as is the music and acting. Anyone who owns,or has ever owned an Irish Setter, understands what this movie means to them. It really catches your heart and trully shows what love there can be between a boy and his dog.I own the VHS as well as the DVD which is fantastic. Should anyone know of the whereabouts of the boy who played Rene (Gilles Payant),please email me at bigred62@worldspy.net Thank you
