I watched Pete’s Dragon on Friday night. Since Disney+ has been released I have been trying to watch movies that I have never seen.

I had not realized that the original Pete’s Dragon was released in 1977. The remake was….interesting. It starts like most Disney movies. A traumatic event leaves the main character to grow up faster than a normal child their age. This character, Pete, meets a giant green dragon who he names Elliot.

I had one concern with this dragon. Typically a dragon is imagined with scales. Not Elliot. He is covered with green fuzzy that slightly resembles a tennis ball.

Although Elliot looks sweet and cuddly, he has some major anger issues. Pete knows how to calm Elliot down as they have spent the last 6 years together.

Without giving the movie away, I will say the plot is like most Disney movies. Filled with drama, emotions, and traumatic events that are quite far-fetched. I am glad I watched Pete’s Dragon. I would like to watch the original Pete’s Dragon so I can compare the two. I wouldn’t be upset if I never say the remake again.
