Sorry this is such short notice, but I was just checking the TV grid for Sunday, June 1, and see Big Red listed for 10 AM Eastern Time on the Hallmark Channel!

This classic Walt Disney film from 1962 has been long out of print on DVD, and in fact was only released by Anchor Bay - Disney themselves never bothered to release it

Therefore, for anyone who has never seen this film, or doesn't own the DVD and wants to see it again, I highly recommend this film - especially if your taste are like mine and like older, gentle, heartfelt films about animals and their bond with people. There is more to this film than just that, though. It is also just as much about the people involved as it is about the bond between boy and dog. Beautiful location filming, too.

It is one of my favorite (top 5) classic all live action Disney films (others include Three Lives Of Thomasina, Pollyana, and Rascal)

No little cinnamon gum freshens breath longer than Big Red...

So kiss a little longer
Stay close a little longer
Hold tight a little longer
Longer with Big Red!

That Big Red freshness lasts right through it
Your fresh breath goes on and on while you chew it
Say goodbye a little longer
Make it last a little longer
Give your breath long lasting freshness with Big Red!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Plus, it's a great bit of nostalgia as they haven't used the jingle in years! Along with the Juicy Fruit jingle.

Juicy Fruit, it's gonna move ya
It's got a taste that gets right through ya
Juicy Fruit, the taste that's gonna move ya
