Big Red (film)

Big Red is a 1962 American family-oriented adventure film from Walt Disney Productions. Based on a 1945 novel by American author Jim Kjelgaard and adapted to the screen by American screenwriter Louis Pelletier, the film starred Walter Pidgeon.

Filmed in the province of Quebec, "Big Red" is an Irish Setter that would rather run through the woods than be the perfectly trained and groomed show dog his sportsman owner (Pidgeon) wants. A ten-year-old orphan boy (Payant) helps look after the dog and rebels against his owner's strict discipline of "Big Red."

    Big Red

    by: Frank Black

    Have you heard about big red?
    They even bought a beebread rig
    To help the flowers in the mean space
    They're trying to make that place green
    Hope the bees will take away the storm
    Hope the trees will take away the storm
    Don't know how this whole thing started
    There was a crowd and then we parted
    Don't know if I'll ever go back
    It's a long way across all of this black
    Here I am in my bucket today
    In the middle
    Here I am in my bucket today
    In the middle
    They got a mule they call Sal
    Bulldozing up canal walls
    They're gonna tap that icecap too
    When they do they're gonna make that green map blue
    The weather is finally getting warm
    And the weather is really getting warm
    Don't know how this whole thing started
    There was a cloud and then it parted
    Don't know if I'll ever go back
    That's how I felt when I left that tarmac
    Here I am in my bucket today
    In the middle
    Here I am in my bucket today
