In the first trailer for the upcoming Clifford movie, viewers are introduced to Emily Elizabeth Howard, played by Darby Camp, who discovers Clifford in a magical tent. According to the trailer, Clifford’s size will grow as Emily’s affection for him deepens, leading to some comical and chaotic situations for Emily and her Uncle Casey, portrayed by Jack Whitehall.
