Pros: The perfect cast and fun songs make for a great film
Cons: None I can see

Pros: The pros are really indescribable in less than 15 words.
Cons: None.
Pete's Dragon is a movie set in turn of the century Maine. The costumes are very relevant to the time period as is everything about this movie. One other thing I liked was that being not far from where I lived when I was in high school, Cape Cod,...

Pros: magical story, seemless integration of animation and live action, some marvelous songs
Cons: a few mediocre songs, no commentary track on the DVD

Pros: The music is wonderful!
Cons: a scary part or two
Pete's Dragon came out when I was just a kid and was my favorite movie then. After I started having children, I decided to start buying children's movies that I had enjoyed for my children. I sat there transfixed by it. Even after all these years, I...

Pros: Fun movie, some great songs, great animation
Cons: Some mediocre, but forgettable, songs and story.
Pete's Dragon is probably by no means the most popular Disney film ever, but has defiantly made it's mark. Elliot the Dragon is one of the most famous floats in the Electrical Parades at Disney Parks and also (according to Steven Spielberg) inspired the...
