Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Disney loved to mix live action with animation (Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks), but this 1977 effort falls on its face. The turn-of-the-century story concerns an orphaned boy whose only friend is a cartoon monster. While the latter is entertainingly rendered, the rest of the film strains to be enchanting and the cast overreaches in a big way. Not for anybody over the age of ten. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "I Swear I Saw a Dragon!"Pete (Sean Marshall) is a poor orphan. He's been adopted by the mean Gogan family run by the matriarch Lena (Shelley Winters). The Gogans make him work from morning til night and beat him for the slightest thing. So, naturally, he runs away. Only this time he has help in the form of Elliot. Elliot is a dragon. And while he doesn't always think about what he's doing, he means well. And he really wants to help Pete. Pete and Elliot happen to find the town of Passamaquoddy ...

Pete is mistreated by his evil adopting family, Lena, Merle, Willie and Grover Gogan and in his misfortunes, Pete talks to his closest friend, a dragon named Elliott who helps him run away from the Gogans and into a new life in the town of Passamaquoddy. After a few days ... Read More: Rating: - TimelessMost Amazon reviews label this film as being for the under 10's only and I have to disagree. My 64 year old father regularly sites this as one of his favourite films and it was also amongst my Grandfathers' too as he adored Helen Reddy. It's completely feel-good and is a film with a great heart. Your teenage children may outwardly brand this corny but I guarantee that inside they are dancing and sneekily wiping away a tear with the rest of the family by the end. Rating:  - disney would be ashamed.i've seen some poor "disney" films in my time, but "pete's dragon" remains one of the worst; the plot is rambling, special effects are terrible, the songs are rubbish and the acting leaves a lot to be desired. the quality of the "disney" films had been taking a turn for the worst since the early 60s, and it shows in this case. the only highlight for me, is jim dale as the crooked doctor. he at least gives the film a boost with a reasonable performance, plus his rendition of a particular ... Read More: Rating: - Disney puts its money where its mouth isI love dragons! I think they're great, and I think it's all probably because of this fun-filled Disney movie. Now I'm not normally one to sing the praises of Disney films but this time I have to tip my cap to them. Why? Well, this film does exactly what it says on the box. It's about this boy called Pete who has an invisible dragon for a friend. Wonderful! Okay, so the dragon is invisible, but we do get to see him from time to time and he's quite a funny fellow too! But, there are a lot of other ... Read More: |
