Review of Pete's Dragon (2016) by Jenefer — 12 Aug 2016

I believe this movie would be far more alluring and convincing if it was animation.

Now presented in a context to persuade the viewers that iit has really happened in a town in USA,(town,people,doctors, policemen..etc,) ran short of involving the adult into this illusion of reality.

Grace is a forest keeper who says she knows every corner in this forest could not catch a sight of a child who has been living there for years? On the other side, Pete himself is not aggressive to human, friendly and sociable which means he might have grown curious to meet people who pass through the wood.

Eliot, the dragon, seems most of the time as sloppy and idiotic,he doesn't capture our hearts with his beauty, dignity and courage (except the final scene)..

The plot is immature (compare for example E.T how the scenes are well-developed and how the plot is convincing and engaging ).

This is why I believe the story would have a better chance of success if it has been made into an animation movies.
