Review of Pete's Dragon (2016) by Chris W — 13 Aug 2016

Finally, Jon Favreau's Jungle Book has some competition for the best film this year. Unfortunately for other studios, it's also a Disney film. David Lowery's reimagining of Pete's Dragon is absolutely stunning.

It's beautifully written, acted, directed, and shot. It's hard these days to find a film that excels in all of those categories, but Disney has managed to produce two of them this year. It's a much slower pace than The Jungle Book, but Pete's Dragon is a completely different type of film (even though it shares a common theme: family).

Elliot will steal your heart, and not only do you believe he's 100% real, but you'll leave the theater wanting one of your very own. Go see this on the big screen & go see it now. If your kids have short attention spans, leave them on a corner somewhere.

..just go.
