For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace, who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales... until she meets Pete, a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete's descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham's stories. With the help of Natalie, an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.

Reviews

cinephile-27690 My sister and me saw a TV aired version of the original and we saw it so many times that I only mildly liked this version. The 2 movies are very different from each other as well. In fact, the part I liked best was Robert Redford taking Mickey Rooney's original role. So, in short, this is good but the original is way better.

derek-453-410928 A story about a lost orphaned boy who befriends a magical dragon. But really it's a story about loneliness. The rest of civilisation, who find the boy six years later, think the boy is lonely, missing his family, but he's made a family with the dragon, whom he calls Elliot. But Elliot needs Pete just as much as Pete needs Elliot, both were orphaned and lonely, and need each other to survive. But the dragon was the loneliest of all the characters because it had never met another of its species.Unfortunately some thought the dragon was a monster, that needed to tamed, captured and exploited, when in reality the dragon was a rare endangered species that needed protecting and preserving, and to with its own kind.A wonderful children's story and definitely worth watching as a film.

marieltrokan The disappointment of a beauty, is a happiness of a tragedy. A happy tragedy is a happiness that creates an impure tragedy and it's a tragedy that creates an impure happiness.An impure tragedy, is a tragic tragedy. An impure happiness is a tragic happiness - a tragic happiness creates a tragic happiness and it creates a tragic tragedy.A tragic tragedy is a happy tragedy that can't be defeated. A tragic happiness creates a happy tragedy that can be defeated and a happy tragedy that can't be defeated. A happy tragedy is a force of nature that means that the ability to overcome and the inability to overcome are indistinct from each other: the need to overcome can be the need to respect, and the need to respect can be the need to overcome.Respecting an adversary is intelligence. Looking past nostalgia is intelligence: the problem with Pete's Dragon, is that the movie's nature makes the intelligence of respecting an adversary and the intelligence of looking past nostalgia into sources of antagonism.Pete's Dragon makes evolution into a genuine roadblock

Carlos André Pete's Dragon is the pure and simple incarnation of the "Disney movie". With a light and beautiful adventure tone that touches the whole story, the film does not try to be revolutionary, nor be more than it is, it simply focuses on being a good story aimed at children and their families.The acting in the film is good, nothing incredible or extra- ordinary, but all the actors are well. Elliot's CGI is not realistic at all, but it's also not that much of a complaint, it's an OK CGI, it works within the story they're telling, and at no point does it make you lose your focus on the narrative.The soundtrack is wonderful, all the songs give a perfect mood for each scene, still having a very "country" feel to the small town where everything happens.In summary, Pete's Dragon may not make history, or be featured on lists of the best films of the last 10 years, but it's definitely a beautiful, incredibly fun adventure that will surely entertain the whole family that you set out to watch.
