Erica B This movie provides an opening to your inner child's imagination. This classic is absolutely beautiful and heart warming. It allows you to close your eyes and take a walk with Petey and his dragon Elliot. I'll always hold a special place in my heart for this classic.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Audience Member I see a lot of 1 and 2 star reviews for this movie and to me that’s just ridiculous. Go watch “Santa with Muscles” if you truly want to watch a 1 star film. I watch a lot of films, especially bad ones, this isn’t one of them. As an adult this is a 3 star film, but based on how much my 2 year old absolutely adores it, it’s 4 stars. I personally like the musical numbers. “Bill of Sale” and “Candle on the Water” (which got a nomination for best original song) are standouts. The story isn’t anything special, but it doesn’t have to be. Remember, it’s a kids movie about an animated dragon that turns invisible. Not exactly “Inception” here folks. My biggest criticisms are the length, it’s too long. Elliot isn’t in it enough, but I know Disney wasn’t exactly going through record profits back in the late 70s so it’s likely the budget didn’t allow for it. The slower pace I guess is a problem(?), but mostly if you’re used to watching a lot of modern movies which love to push push push. Older films are slower paced. Listen folks, like I said I watch a lot of films that are very bad to keep up with my favorite bad movie podcast. This isn’t one of those films. Once you watch movies like “Santa with Muscles” or “Wagons East” or “Dragon Wars”, you’ll start to have an appreciation for films that are obviously better, but still not in the “great” category. I recommend this film. But remember it’s a musical. It’s slower paced and it’s lengthy. It’s also during a time when Disney was struggling. I know that seems wild in 2024, but back then, yes they weren’t doing so hot. And remember most of all, it’s for kids, like my 2 year old.
