Customer Ratings & Reviews

Classic movie to compliment the remake. Not one for musicals but this is close to the heart. Old school animation combined with live actors from the 70's gives the throwback feel of the past. Wonderful story line and fun for all ages, this film is an original that must be part of your collection to compliment the new version from 2016. If you have one, you must get the other.

I bought this movie for my wife. She grew up with it, and did not like the hyper realistic one that was recently released. She was very excited to have this one. I'm extremely irritated at Disney for not putting Digital Copies in all their movies... honestly, if you are going to release it on Bluray, add in the digital copy code, stop being so darn stingy. Or do I have to wait for the Ultra Diamond double Platinum Ultimate edition to get a digital copy included?

I remember this movie from when I was a child and I really liked it. I wanted to share it with my wife and daughter, who have never seen it. They thought it was great. This was the first time I have seen it in widescreen and the blu-ray HD made it look better than ever. I highly recommend this movie for any family movie night.

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid! I used to check the 12 inch soundtrack album out at the library and belt out all of the songs! Great story! Heartwarming and very nostalgic. I still love this movie to this day! Definitely a must-see for your bucket list of classics! :)

I had to pick this up after watching the remake. Thankfully it was different enough that it didn't feel like they were trying to replace this one. This is a childhood favorite of mine. It's great to have on Blu Ray and is one of the few times I've seen a Disney title on sale.

This was one of the very few Disney movies I had never gotten around to watching. After watching the remake, I had to check out the original. I enjoyed the original far more than the remake - that's no surprise. The Blu-ray is a must-have for the collection

With the DVD release of the new Pete's Dragon movie, I figured there was no better time to show my kid's the original. Unfortunately, it appears I never had bought it, so it was time for a quick Best Buy search - I'm happy to say it was much cheaper than I expected!

Pete's Dragon was one of the first films to showcase the animation talents of Don Bluth, who went on to produce the famous laser disc games Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, as well as the classic animated films A Land Before Time, An American Tail, and the not so memorable Rock-A-Doodle and Pebble & The Penguin. Pete's Dragon was released in the general post-Disney malaise of the late 70's, and perhaps a better choice for blu-ray release of a Disney live-action/animated film might have been Mary Poppins (which IS getting a blu-ray release)...which is perhaps why this might be a release to grab. Just because it is a more obscure title, though it falls into a typical formula for Disney live-action/animated stories, with strongly-stereotyped characterizations, highly predictable plot, and the prerequisite musical numbers. However, it seems to hold the interest of our 4-year old daughter, so as long as it reaches a new audience, then it is worth a purchase.

I've been looking for this movie for a while and found this blu-ray on sale. Beautifully restored, very sharp picture and good sound. This was one of our favorite childhood movies growing up and I wanted to share it with the next generation of my family.

I bought this movie to watch with the grandchildren. We enjoy many Disney movies together and this was certainly another enjoyable movie. I enjoyed seeing this movie with my family when I was much younger. And it was definitely fun to enjoy it all over again.

My granddaughter loved this movie and had seen it on our old VHS recorded from the Disney Channel when my daughter was young. Poor quality. This is so much better than that old version. I had looked in other stores but never found it.

I got the movie for my son. We are a Disney fanatic family and I wanted to get as many of the Disney movies for us. I love this movie and so does my son. Plus I got it when it was on sale for less then $10. That was awesome.

This is really a very good family movie. It has a great cast among who is Helen Reddy and Micky Rooney. You'll enjoy Elliot the Dragon and Pete as they find refuge with Helen Reddy and her father (Mickey Rooney) who are lighthouse keepers.

It's a DVD I bought. I like it. We actually planned a Disney mixed media weekend, part live action part animated. We had Roger Rabbit, Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Brooksticks, and Enchanted so we needed this one lol

Absolutely love this movie. There are some people that just didn't care for this movie for one reason or another. But I have always thought this was a great film. Some scenes can be scary for young children.

We loaned our dvd out a few years ago and never got it back. Finally replaced on Blu-ray and it was so worth it. Great remastered version - so much better than the recent live action version.

this movie is the original version and it brought back memories from when I was a kid, my son also watched this movie when he was a kid and loved it, I just bought it on dvd , my vhs was going bad.

One of my favs' since childhood, rite up there with Neverending Story. Having both blu-ray and DVD in one package gives you have so many viewing options. Definitely one to pass down before seeing new version

If you've only seen the remake of Pete's Dragon you are missing out. The original is just as good and charming and fun for the whole family. Real actors acting along side animation at its best!

Sometimes, oftentimes, CG updates have splashy effects but they lose the charm. Pete’s Dragon is still a wonderful family film all these years later. Great Blu Ray transfer. Recommended
