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.

This was a good movie! I enjoyed it, despite an interesting choice to make Elliot a fuzzy (?) dragon. Bryce Dallas Howard gave such a stellar performance I thought she was Jessica Chastain, (high praise) until someone pointed out she was Ron Howard's daughter. Some of you will recognize Karl Urban as Star Trek's Bones (McCoy), and, I don't care how old Robert Redford gets, he's just plain sexy. I give this movie a 7 (good) out of 10.

Very unlike the original, and I personally didn't overly enjoy it. A bit lacklustre and not much going on.

I'm all in for these type of Disney movies but this was not one of the best. A bit bland and boring but nevertheless one family movie to enjoy. The ending was good.

Oakes Fegley is quite charming here as the eponymous orphan who has managed to survive, alone, in the forest following an accident that killed his parents. One day, this mini-Mowgli is spotted by park ranger "Grace" (Bryce Dallas Howard) who tries to introduce him to society - and school. How did he More

Wholesome viewing.

'Pete’s Dragon' is a pleasant film. This remake brings a lot of feels thanks to its hearty narrative. The special effects are nice, as is the score - particularly towards the end. The cast isn't all-star but they all do good jobs.

Oakes Fegley gives a sweet perfor More

The infectiously whimsy and adventurous **Pete’s Dragon** undergoes a polished millennial-style rebirth for today’s kiddies not fortunate enough to be alive when the 1977 live-action animated musical blueprint made its charming, impressionable impact for youngsters of all ages back in the day.
