Pete's Dragon (Disney Gold Classic Collection)

Buy This Item Pete's Dragon (Disney Gold Classic Collection) by Walt Disney Video  Available from Amazon  $19.99  on 11-16-2008     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. Reader Reviews I am very glad that I got this DVD for my children. Despite the suspicions I had that it was no longer cool enough or timely for kids, having been made so long ago, the animation, acting, and songs were just as catchy and fun as I remember. It's not as action-packed engaging as so many films these days for children, but that actually makes it really nice for younger ones. I think kids-even from loving homes- can somehow make themselves sympathize and empathize with the basic themes of being alone without parents, having imaginary friends, believing in majic, and believing that there is good in the world, if you just hope and try hard to find it. Good, clean fun (even in the bar scene with Mickey Rooney)! Believe me- it's not as bad as that may sound!
