DVD Review: Pete's Dragon
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very pleased to receive my purchase in a very timely manner, as I was taking it across country for my grandson. It was nicely packaged and I couldn't have been happier. I would purchase from this vendor again in a heartbeat.DVD Review: One my my favorite disney movies!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was one of my favorite movies growing up. And now that its remastered a bit, its fun to watch again and not as cheesy to watch in this day.. I love the songs, and my 6 year old nephew loved it as well, as I thought he might be bored not being a "new age" child movie with all the awesome graphics. Love Pete and Elliott! :) DVD Review: DVD

I was worried that the condition of the DVD would not be as stated, but it was better that expected. DVD Review: Pete's Dragon on the rocks
Summary: 4 Stars
They should actually invent a new party beverage called "Pete's Dragon" cause this story blooms from the pub of the main town off a rocky shore with a wonderful lighthouse. It took me awhile to warm up to this musical (what, 30 years??), and I don't mind saying I was still a skeptic. Finally I layed on my couch and gave it my full attention with no distractions, and even backtracked a little when I had to take a quick "break." I was determined to watch every frame. Bottom line, you know it's a heartwarming, YES, loveable film when the ending credits roll, and you hate to leave this place. That ending pan shot from the sky, as if riding away with Elliot made me think, I am going to miss the inside of that lighthouse. Fortunitely, I can see it again with the dvd.
Helen Reddy's "Candle On The Water" was nominated for best song, and it's a lovely ballad about someone who has lost a great love, and unfortunitely, is somehow waiting for his return, even in the wake of hoplessness. She sings it on the rim on top of the lighthouse at night. You know, I thought this flick was going to be another Popeye musical, which is a movie you either liked or absolutely hated. I sort of like it, but I could see why Popeye was crucified during it's day. This movie almost ventures in that direction, but manages to keep afloat in the high tide of entertainment. If you really follow the story, and relish in some of the goofiness, this movie will become heartfelt.
By the way, the two hammy villains remind me of Honest John and his pal Gideon of Pinocchio, and Shelly Winters looks like she's having a wonderful time playing that filthy hillbilly role of hers. Now I need a beer (and I don't drink).
DVD Review: great oldie
Summary: 5 Stars
There is nothing negative I can say about my order.
Everything was excellent!!!!
Description of Pete's Dragon (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
Pete, a young orphan, runs away to a Maine fishing town with his best friend--a lovable, sometimes invisible dragon named Elliott! When they are taken in by a kind lighthouse keeper, Nora (Helen Reddy), and her father (Mickey Rooney), Elliott's prank playing lands them in big trouble. Then, when crooked salesmen try to capture Elliott for their own gain, Pete must attempt a daring rescue.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
