By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 07 Aug 2016

More like a pleasant walk in a redwood forest with a boy and his dragon than a rollicking adventure, but its serenity and warm heart are infectious…

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Kevin Harley (322) for The List (2,018) on 07 Aug 2016

Instead of straining to modernise the tale or weaponise the schmaltz, [Lowery] utilises old-school charm and a timeless sense of place…

The quality of Disney's wholesome movie-fare for children is skyrocketing…

What Pete's Dragon lacks in original plot, it makes up for in heart…

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Prairie Miller (985) for WBAI Radio (118) on 03 Aug 2016

Subplots including environmental consciousness for kids never materialize enough for this mostly somber tall tale, to latch on to a clearing…

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Edward Douglas (1,395) for Den of Geek (424) on 02 Aug 2016

Dull at times but otherwise fine, this fantasy remake tends to excel from the realism instilled into its animated title character…

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 01 Aug 2016

The film is confident enough in its own weatherbeaten skin to take on no more plot than is strictly necessary, and its most affecting scenes…

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Henry Barnes (139) for Guardian (4,584) on 31 Jul 2016

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Neil Smith (699) for Total Film (3,532) on 31 Jul 2016

Those with fond memories of a gentler era of boy-and-his-insert-critter-here heartwarmers are bound to welcome Dragon’s old-fashioned vibe…

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Amber Wilkinson (674) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 30 Jul 2016

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Nadia Attia (4) for SciFiNow (378) on 28 Jul 2016

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Erin Whitney (65) for ScreenCrush (954) on 27 Jul 2016

Lowery’s visual world essentially translates the movie’s message, that magic is everywhere if you allow yourself to see it…

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Terri Schwartz (21) for IGN Movies (1,472) on 27 Jul 2016

Pete's Dragon is a remake in all the right ways, taking cues from the original but reimagining the story for a very different audience living…
