The animation is much the best part of Pete's Dragon, a film not surfeited with great & timeless elements.

Another not very charming but harmless fusion of animation and good old real-life.

You don't often see children's musicals as ambitious as this one any more.

In the overall realm of Disney magic, Pete's Dragon is a card trick rather than a grand illusion.

Saddled with an absurdly overlong running time (128 minutes!) and a raft of forgettable songs...

The dragon itself grunts, grins and goofs around, but isn't half as appealing as its creators obviously hoped. More character and better animation would have helped.

Offbeat live-action/animation mix with lots of drinking.

Unique and badly directed.

A horrid assault on the senses.

As a testament to its founder's legacy, this is still somewhat lesser Disney. But when viewed in combination for what passes as House of Mouse merriment today ...it's utterly brilliant.

An enchanting and humane fable.

Boring, annoying and not funny, Pete's Dragon is one of the dullest films from Disney that I've ever seen.
