TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Feb 1 Pete’s Dragon (1977) is a delightful blend of live-action and animation that tells a heartfelt story about a lonely orphan finding friendship with a magical dragon named Elliot. The film’s direction is charming and effective, bringing together whimsical fantasy and real-world settings to create an engaging narrative. Elliot is beautifully animated, expressive, and full of personality, making the story feel unique and magical. While some of the scenery may feel staged and dated by modern standards, the creativity and heart of the film shine through, maintaining its timeless appeal. The characters are endearing, the story emotionally resonant, and the friendship between Pete and Elliot is genuinely touching. Despite being over four decades old, the film’s charm, imaginative concept, and emotional warmth allow it to stand the test of time, making it a must-watch for families and fans of classic Disney storytelling.

The Dragon was larger than life and loud and it really impacted me. I still find many of the songs endearing. It was a great movie for a young boy to connect with at that time.

But, the weirdest thing is it’s a musical See more Dofferes S Nov 29 Now this, is a certified hood classic. See more maggie r Nov 22 I only know this movie exists because of the song "Candle on the Water", which is apparently from this movie. I dont care for this film, and according to other reviews it doesn't seem like it's worth a watch. Just go listen to Miracle Musical's cover of Candle on the Water. Actually, just go listen to Miracle Musical instead of watching this. Definitely a better use of your time See more Khaliel P Aug 19 Pete’s Dragon (1977), directed by Don Chaffey, blends live-action and animation in a style reminiscent of Mary Poppins. Though its songs are forgettable, Don Bluth’s animation brings Elliott the dragon to life, and young Sean Marshall charmingly carries the role of Peter. Not Disney’s most memorable classic, the film remains a magical and heartwarming story that delights children and evokes nostalgia for those who grew up dreaming of having a dragon as a best friend.
