For all its charm and anti-blockbuster mentality, there is no getting away from the fact that this Pete’s draggin’.
Disney's remake of its Seventies kids classic proves to be one of the most charming and captivating films of the summer.
At its best, Pete’s Dragon has some of the same grace and lyricism found in Caroll Ballard’s The Black Stallion.
It may be extremely slight and even too wholesome for modern tastes but Pete’s Dragon is still welcome family fare.
This remake of the 1977 Disney film offers a strong family entertainment.
A cute but not cutesy boy-and-his-dog story, with the dog played by a very big green dragon. Strong performances and direction make the most of a lightweight tale.
