Pete's Dragon

Our children grew up with this movie as well as my wife and I. My wife is part Passamaquoddy Indian and this movie is both heartwarming and musically creative. A classic in our minds. Great memories watching this over and over. Highly recommend watching.

The best Disney Dragon, this movie is fantastic in many ways. It is good at the level of special effects, has good actors, good story and good bad guys. Highly recommend.

This is one of the best musicals of all time, right up there with The Sound of Music. Yes, I have a lot of nostalgia as I had this on Betamax growing up and wore it out... but now I'm watching it with my own kids and they love it just like I did. This movie holds up and translates well to all generations. The songs are fantastic, but my least favorite is the one it may be most known for (Candle on the water). Lampie... Doc Terminus... they're all just really, really good performances of well written songs. It has everything a musical needs. Great acting, great singing, great choreography, great story, and a lot of heart. The live action/animation is really good for the time, so there's no reason to get hung up on that. Plus Elliot is awesome. I honestly can't understand how this is under 9 stars.

This movie was sweet. It made me happy and sad and everything in between. It has a very strong musical theatre energy and the songs are so cute and catchy. Also the animation is incredible, elliot is so well drawn and shows his emotions without saying a single word.

In 1977 I was 5 years old and I loved this film when I was a kid - and I can still remember quite a bit about it today. This film helped me to fall 'in-love' with dragons... a childhood wish to have a pet dragon of my own just like Pete. It's a wonderful family film with a good story - great for all ages. The movie has a pretty good soundtrack for a Walt Disney Musical - but my favorite song from the film is "It's Not Easy". I had the song on an old Disneyland album (Best of Disney Vol 2) when I was a kid. LOL I get a chuckle when I think about that today: Nostalgia. Pure nostalgia. If you like movie like 'Eragon' or 'Puff the Magic Dragon' then you might like the film Pete's Dragon. 8.5/10
