Customer Ratings & Reviews

Being an adult who used to watch Pete's Dragon so much that I wore out the VHS tape when I was a kid, I found this film to be pretty disappointing. I have a 180" Scrren at home with Projector & 7.1 surround with Buttkicker Transducer system. I can say 100% that the audio and visuals were beautiful & powerful. What the film lacked was heart and story! 3 Stars is average, 2 is consider "Fair" and that's ALL this film was. Its totally forgettable. To me it wasn't petty things like adding hair to Eliot that some people have brought up, but the fact that the original was an amazing musical! The songs were spectacular and I strongly believe Disney got this one wrong. The jump to take classics and make them live action is ok if done correctly. Even Baloo in the Jungle book live action had a bit of some singing. The original revolved around this "adopted" orphan turned slave (for lack of better words) who met an amazing lighthouse keeper suffering her own agony that still took in this child claiming to have seen the very dragon that drove her father into drinking constantly. I'll stop there... Chances are if you watch the original first it will ruin the new one. I expected to see something along the older story just with a few changes.. The light house keeper is a forest ranger? NOPE! The vilified family relentlessly chasing the boy because "We got a Bill that says right here, that says he belongs to us!" Didn't exist in the new petes dragon. Not even the Dragon could do a murmur type talk... Brr brr br brrrp? Thumbs down. Im sorry, but this did no justice to the original. I don't recommend. I want to make it clear that had the original NOT ever exsisted that I still wouldn't give this film more that 2 (Fair) stars.. Again. Forgettable!

Saw the movie with my grandkids. Really liked it. Told them I would get it for them. They are happy. Good memories!

great movie, great quality. It is awesome it includes the digital code.

This movie will pull at your heart strings. Love this one just as much as the original. It is a must buy in my book.

I've never seen the original Pete's Dragon, but I really loved this story. I was captivated and enjoyed it overall.

There are some differences compared to the original but an absolute great remake. Wonderful for the whole family.

Disney can remake all the movies if they're going to do this with them! Amazing everybody should watch this movie!

Terrific special effects in a movie that is great for families. Pete and his dragon are enjoyable

Way better than the original which my kids and I tried to watch lol. This one is so much better!!

Different from the original but still an incredible film to add to your collection. Another home run from Disney!

The movie made for a very good family movie night. It was very entertaining and I recommend the move for all ages.

Blu Ray disc has good picture and sound. The film is a good remake with its own take on the story.

Adults and children alike will like this movie. Brings back a lot of childhood memories of playing in the woods.

A children's movie that adults will find amusing too. I was amazed at how much I enjoyed this movie as an adult
