Disney Big Red part 1/6

For all Irish setter lovers...Part2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4fskjqiVyY
Big Red is a 1962 American family-oriented adventure film from Disney Studios. 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's registered name in the Disney film was CH Redcoat Reilly of Wintapi. Big Red was played by Ch Red Aye Scraps owned by Lawrence & Eleanor Heist of Fontana, CA and trained by Bill Koehler. "Scraps" earned a Patsy award for his role in the film. Big Red's stand-in was Ch Red Arrow Smooth Sailing, also owned by the Heist.

Jim Kjelgaard is one of my favorite authors. He was truly a great soul and I wish I knew more about him than I can find on the web. This movie doesn't even do remote justice to his writing
