[Laughter]

[Woof]

Look at the pretty
flowers, clifford.

[Woof woof]

[Hard sniff]

They smell great,
don'’t they, boy?

[Woof]

[Groans] where is it?

[Groans] I left it
on the porch this morning,
I'’m sure of it.

Hi, jetta.

Oh, hi,
emily elizabeth.

What'’cha doing, jetta?

I can'’t believe it.

I'’ve lost my most
favorite sweater
in the whole entire world!

Oh, I'’m sorry.

Maybe clifford
and I could help you
look for it.

Dogs are great
at finding things

By using their
sense of smell.
Right, boy?

[Woof]

Well, ok.

I'’ll try anything
if it'’ll help me find
my favorite sweater.

I'’ll get mac
to help, too.

Mac! Oh, ma-ac!

Where are you, mac?

Mac, I need you
to help me
find my sweater!

[Mac moans]

I know what'’ll
get him to come.

Ma-ac!

I'’ve got
a tummy yummy
for you.

Machiavelli!

Mac! Oh, mac!

Mackie!

Where could he be?

I'’m sure
he'’s around here
somewhere.

[Groans]
first my sweater,
now my dog!

Mac always comes
for a tummy yummy.

Always.

I'’ll help you
look around here
for him.

And maybe clifford
can check around town.

[Woof]

Where could mac be?

[Groaning]

[Arf arf arf]

Wait, don'’t go!
Stay and play!

[Arf arf]

[Arf]

Oof!

[Pants]

Hiya, clifford!

Hi, cleo.
You haven'’t seen mac
around, have you?

No. Why?
Is he missing?

Yeah. Wanna help
look for him?

I'’m right behind you,
big guy!

Mac could be here
at the beach.

Clifford:
I don'’t see him.

Maybe he'’s out
in the water.
I'’ll go check!

[Arf arf]

Hi, clifford.

Hey, t-bone.

What'’s cleo doing?

Ma-ac! Oh, mac!

Ma-ac! Oh, mac!

Whoa!

Cleo'’s looking
for mac.

Is he missing?

Yep.

Well, he'’s not
in the water.

[Shudders]

Hey! Mac likes
to play in the woods
behind his house.

Maybe he'’s in there.

Good thinking, t-bone.
Follow me, guys.

[Coughing]

T-bone and cleo:
clifford!

Oops, sorry.

Maybe I should
follow you.

This is just so weird.

Mac never leaves
my yard

Until after
he'’s had his lunch.

Don'’t worry,
we'’ll find him.

I hope so.

Doesn'’t he know
how worried I am?

Mac!
Here, mac!

Mac!

Mac, you in here?

Ma-ac!

Mac!

Cleo: ma-ac!
Oh, mac!

T-bone: mac!

Come on, clifford!

Comin'’.

[Groaning]

Wow, you look
like a giant tree.

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
You sure do!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha--ow!

Ow ow ow ow ow ow!

This bush won'’t
let go of me!

Your fur is stuck
on the thorns.

[Groans]
what am I gonna do?

Grab onto my leg
and I'’ll pull you
off the shrub.

Mmm, I don'’t know.

Maybe mr. Kibble
could come out

And cut off
all your fur instead.

Never mind.
I'’ll grab his leg.

......!

Whoa!

I guess
it didn'’t work.

I guess not.

T-bone: yes, it did!
Look!

Clifford and cleo:
mac!

Hi.

Mac, here you are!

We'’ve been looking
everywhere for you.

You should
go home, mac.

Jetta is worried
about you.

I can'’t go home. Look.

[All gasp]

Is that jetta'’s sweater?

Yeah. She'’s gonna be
so mad at me.

What happened?

It was an accident.

I saw the sweater
on the porch

And I was bringing it
to jetta,

But then one
of my claws got stuck

And it pulled the string
and the whole sweater
started falling apart.

[Sighs] that'’s why
I can'’t go home.

So what are you
gonna do?

I'’m gonna live
out here.

What'’ll you do
for food?

Well...

I didn'’t think
about that.

Mac, you should
go home,

And show jetta
that you'’re sorry.

Oh, I don'’t know.

She really
misses you, mac.

You think so?

I know so.

Well, I don'’t
want her to worry.

I'’m going home.

Great.

Machiavelli!

Mackie! Are you here?

Mac?

Mac! Here, mac!

Mac, you in here?

Where can my precious
baby dog be?

[Gasps] mac!

Ha ha ha ha--[gasps]

You'’re not mac.

Ooh, what am I gonna do
without my mackie?

I love him so much!

Let'’s go back
to your house, jetta.

Maybe mac came home
while we were gone.

Yeah!
Maybe mac came home!

See anyone coming yet,
clifford?

Not yet.

I don'’t know
if I can do this.

I don'’t want jetta
to be mad at me.

Everyone
makes mistakes, mac.

Yeah, she might be
upset at first,

But she'’ll
forgive you.

Clifford:
here they come.

[Gasps] ba-bye.

Mac!
Mac!

You can'’t keep
running away, mac.

[Sighs] ok.

[Gasps] mac!

Ah! Where
have you been?

I was so worried.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

My sweater.

[Gasps]
what happened to it?

[Whimpers]

You did this?

Oh, mac.

[Whimpers]

Is that why
you ran away?

'’Cause you thought
I'’d be mad at you?

Well, I'’m not very happy
about the sweater,
that'’s for sure,

But I don'’t ever
want you
to run away again.

You are so much more
important to me

Than some
dumb old sweater.

Ooh, I love you,
mac.

I'’m sure he didn'’t mean
to rip your sweater, jetta.

[Woof]

[Both barking]

Come to think of it,

Now I can buy
a brand-new sweater.

Come on, mac,
let'’s go tell mom

We need
to go shopping.

[Woof]

Don'’t you ever run away
either, clifford.

Remember,
there'’s nothing
you could ever do

That could make me
stop loving you.

[Slurp]

You'’re my
big red dog.

Emily elizabeth:
clifford!

[Panting]

It'’s story time!

You want to hear
a speckle story,
don'’t you?

[Woof]

Heh heh, I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Emily elizabeth:
today'’s story is speckle
and the pirate ship.

Speckle, ravi,
luna, and darnell

Were at their favorite
picnic spot

When speckle started
a game of pretend.

He imagined he was
a brave buccaneer

Sailing on the high seas,

And luna'’s backpack
was his bag of gold.

Soon everyone joined in.

Speckle was the captain,
and his friends were
his fearless crew.

With the sun shining
and the waves splashing,

It was a grand day
to be a buccaneer.

Then ravi saw
another ship approaching.

Who could it be?

It was reba the red,

With a treasure map
to share.

They studied the map,
then steered their ship

To follow
the treasure map'’s
course,

Imagining the wonderful
adventures

They would find
along the way.

The end.

That was a great story.
Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

Heh heh!

Emily elizabeth:
hold still, clifford.

We don'’t want to be
late for the special
halloween movie.

There! Perfect!

You look just like
a lion.

[Panting]

[Woof]

Emily, clifford!
Time to go!

[Woof woof]

[Woof woof woof woof]

[Gasps]
oh, no, a lion!

Oh, quick!
Run for your life!

Ha ha ha ha!

Aaaaaah!

Ohh!

Mmm? [Woof woof]

Heh heh, don'’t worry.

You didn'’t really
scare them.

They'’re just pretending
to be scared.

[Whimpers]

It'’s all part of the fun
of halloween, boy.

[Laughing]

You and clifford
look terrific.

See, mom and dad
knew it was you
all the time.

Mmm-hmm-hmmm.

Come on, everyone.

We better go,
or we'’re gonna miss
the movie.

Ooo-ooh-
ooo-oo-oo-oooh!

[Awoo]

[Laughter]

Oh, doesn'’t mac
look adorable?

He'’s not adorable,

He'’s frankenstein'’s
monster!

[Growls]

Hoo hoo, of course.

Do you like
our costumes?

Believe it or not,
I had all of this stuff
in my closet.

Isn'’t that way out?

Heh heh,
way waay out.

[Gasps] ooh, look!

Now there'’s
a scary sight.

Who can that be?

Jetta: gee, let'’s see,

Who on birdwell island
is stories tall?

Yoo hoo, "mr.
Big scary lion."

Did you escape
from the zoo?

[Woof]

Hi, mrs. Diller.
Happy halloween.

Look, there'’s
some more monsters.

Come on, girls.
Let'’s go say hello.

[Growling]

[Whimpers]

Wow! That was
pretty scary, mac.

Yeah, I can be
pretty scary.

Of course jetta and I
aren'’t scared
of anything.

Nothing?

Not even that?

Hey, looking good,
t-bone!

[Woof]

You look almost
as spooky

As the ghost dog
of birdwell island.

[Whimpers]

The ghost dog
of birdwell island?

[Gulp]

[Laughs]
there'’s no such
thing as ghosts.

Everyone knows that.

Oh, yeah,
everyone knows that.

Man: [imitating dracula]
ladies and gentlemen,

May I have
your attention, please.

Vill everyone
please take their seats

So ve can begin our veddy
scary halloween movie,

The boo who!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh, hurry up, violet.
I want to get a good spot.

Well, I don'’t want
to break my stem,
you know.

Hello, emily, dear.

I see you brought
clifford with you.

Yep. He'’s never seen
a movie before,

Especially
a scary one.

There are good seats
over there, violet.
Let'’s go.

These movies
don'’t scare me.

Nothing scares
mac and me.

Right, boy?
[Growls]

Boo!

That didn'’t
scare me, charley.

Ah, come on, jetta.

Everyone gets scared.

Charley, clifford
and I are gonna go
sit in the back.

We don'’t want to
block anyone'’s view.

[Organ music]

Great! I'’ll come with you.

[Spooky music]

All: clifford!

[Spooky organ playing]

[All gasping]

[Groans] bo-ring.

[All gasping]

It'’s ok, clifford.
It'’s just pretend.

[Laughter]

[Laughing]

[Applause and cheering]

[Woof woof woof]

[Yawns]

Mmm.

Pumpkin cookies
and apple cider.

Now this is
the best part
about halloween.

That movie
sure was fun,

With all those spooky
ghosts and stuff.

Well, it didn'’t
scare me one bit.

Nothing ever scares me.

That'’s too bad, jetta.

Sometimes it'’s fun
to be scared on halloween.

Especially
when you know
it'’s only pretend.

Hey, emily,
where'’s your big red lion?

He'’s still
at the beach

Trying to figure out
how all those people

Got into
the movie screen.

[Sniffing]

Did I scare you
all tonight
with my big teeth?

Ha ha! You
sure did, pedro.

Oh, he did not.

Come on, jetta,

Aren'’t you
just a little bit
frightened?

Grrr!

Not even a little bit.

I'’ve had enough
of halloween.

I'’m ready
to go home now.

Ok, jetta.
Pedro and I will
walk with you.

But only if you
promise to protect us

From all those
big hairy monsters
out there.

[All laughing]

Whatever.

Let'’s go, mac.

Good night,
everybody.

Night.
Adios.

[Organ plays notes]

Hey, what was that?

[Wind gusts]

Aaah! What'’s going on?

I can'’t see anything!
What happened to the lights?

[Cat meows]

[Meow]

Whew!

[Moaning]

[Low moaning]

[Sighs]
it'’s getting late.

I suppose we should
head on home.

We have to wait
for clifford.

Jetta: help!

Ghost! Run!

There'’s a ghost
out there! Run!

Well,
look at that.

Jetta'’s pretending
to be scared.

That'’s the spirit,
jetta.

It'’s the ghost dog
of birdwell island!

I thought you said
there'’s no such thing
as ghosts.

[Panting]
it'’s big, it'’s white,

And it'’s coming
this way!

Jetta'’s
not pretending.

There really is
something big
out there.

[Rumble]

[Clamoring]

[Howling]

[Gasping]

It'’s the ghost.

[Yelp]

[People clamoring]

Let'’s get out
of here, violet!

I'’m right
beside you, horace.

[Groans]
[whimpers]

Oohh! Oohhh!

[Growling]

What a brave
wittle watchdog

My sweet baby
cupcake is.

[Growls]

Aaaaah!

Where is everybody?

Hmm.

I wonder where
emily elizabeth
could be.

Mm-hmm.

[Panting]

[Woof woof]

Oh, why,
look at that.

It'’s clifford.

Ha ha ha ha!
It'’s not a ghost.

Heh heh heh,
it'’s a big red dog.

Woman:
oh, it'’s clifford.

Man: oh, it'’s
just clifford.

Well, I have to admit,

I'’ve never been so glad
to see that dog in my life.

Poor clifford.
The sheet they used
for the movie screen

Must have fallen
on top of him.

It'’s ok, clifford.
Everything'’s ok.

I'’m right here.

[Whimpers]

Uh, is the ghost
gone yet?

[Whimpers]

What difference
does it make?

Nothing scares you
and mac, right, jetta?

We weren'’t scared.

Then why are you
under the table?

Well, uh...

Heh heh...

Jetta--aaaah!

It'’s ok to be scared.

Everyone gets scared
sometimes,

Even big, brave dogs
like mac.

Uh, yeah.

I guess you'’re right.

Mac really was scared,
wasn'’t he?

[Whimpers]

So was clifford.

Next year, we'’re gonna use
a sheet for his costume.

Next halloween,

He'’ll be clifford,
my big white ghost.

Wow, t-bone!
Your sand castle
looks great!

It sure does, t.

Thanks.
I did the whole thing
all by myself.

Clifford and I know
that it'’s always important

To be thoughtful
of other people'’s
feelings and ideas.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today
is respect.

You know what would
make it even better,
though?

A great big flag!

No, I think it'’s great
just the way it is.

There. Now it needs
a big wall!

No, it doesn'’t.

Cleo, this is
t-bone'’s castle.

Before you change it,

You should find out
if he wants you to.

I'’m sorry. Next time
I'’ll remember to ask first.

Sometimes our friends have
thoughts and feelings that
are different from ours.

When we take the time
to find out about
those differences,

It shows how much we care.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today
is respect.
