Pete’s Dragon is one of the most heartfelt movies that I have ever seen; from the beginning to the end, I was in tears of both sadness and joy. Speaking from my own perspective, I feel that this is an underrated Disney movie, and deserves…

Well made family movie with "typical" acting performances for a family movie. But it doesn't take away from the story. The main actor, Oakes Fegley [Pete], did a great job communicating with facial emotions as well as reaction to objects…

Very disappointing. This could have been great but instead focused the story on the issues of the adults. Very poorly scripted with a huge lack of communication all around, failing to advance the story line, resulting in neither story…
After his parents are killed in a car accident, a young boy named Pete (Oakes Fegley) finds an unlikely caregiver in the form of a dragon (whom he dubs "Elliot") living in a forest in the Pacific Northwest. Years later, a forest ranger…

Director David Lowery pours the Disney syrup thick and sticky all over this overtly sentimental reboot of the 1977 non-classic, but he does so with such manipulative skill—not to mention awesome CGI effects—that he manages to keep things…

a good movie. i love eliot! i love pete! i love it all! ok, maby not all...the ending had me a bit teary eyed but don't get me wrong! it's still a good movie and ending!
This was a delightful surprise. I had never seen the original Disney film, and I knew little about this one before I watched it. I found it charming and sweet. I often find movie children extremely annoying, but I liked Pete. I loved…

I liked this. I loved the animation of Elliot the dragon and it's characterization. The only thing that let it down was the idiotic behavior to hurt and hunt down something that you are frightened of or can use for propping up one's ego.…
A slow, contemplative, film with a gorgeous forest green and brown visual palette.
However, the film's contemplative subject matter leaves little to contemplate. The film's major conflict is a cliché battle between the natural world…

Heartwarming, cute, and ultimately hope-ful, but definitely a tearjerker! By the end of the movie, I still felt a bit crushed by the tragic moments, but I loved every single character, and wished I had my own Eliot for a friend.

"Overall, I really liked Pete’s Dragon and while I’ve never seen the original to compare it, I think it stands as a very good live action Disney film. Pete and Elliot stand out as interesting characters who may have done better in a longer…

Pete's Dragon follows a young boy named Pete who is orphaned after a car crash kills his parents. Lost in the Pacific Northwest woods and surrounded by wolves, Pete is rescued by a friendly dragon (that he calls Elliot) who raises him as…
I loved this remake of this classic movie, a great movie about friendship, family and magic. Older children would love this movie, younger children not so much.

This is a sweet movie with a standard tear-jerker story from Disney. It tugs on the heartstrings for a good quarter of the movie. The graphics are nice, the acting fine, and the boys in the lead role are impressive.

This is a good movie for the whole family. Unfortunately, there were at least 5 scenes filmed in either near darkness or in the forest where I could not see a single thing. I don't know who's responsibilities this falls under (director,…
