Disney Delights in New Live-Action Feature, Pete’s Dragon and We’ve Got Tickets to Celebrate!

0 Shares

A mysterious orphan, a mythological figure and a – park ranger? That’s right! Disney’s awesomely imaginative retake on the tale of Pete’s Dragon has all that any much, much more.

Robert Redford plays Mr. Meacham (an old wood carver), who’s been telling the tale of a fierce dragon that lives in the areas woods. For years he’s been spilling the details of the dragon’s doings for the local children. Meacham’s own daughter, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, has grown up listening to her father’s stories. And, that’s exactly how she thinks of them – as stories. That is, until she meets a 10-year-old orphan named Pete.

In a time when it seems like every 10-year-old is tethered to a tablet or mum’s iPhone, Pete is seriously out of touch. Not only isn’t he ferried from place to place in his parents minivan (obviously, as he’s an orphan), but he claims to live in the woods. In the woods? Yep, in the woods. That’s alone, without adult supervision, without the benefits of the Internet and without video games (can your child even imagine?). But, Pete does have one advantage over other kids.

What’s that? Pete has Elliott. And, Elliott just so happens to be a dragon! Yes, we all know that Disney’s movie magic means that there are often amazingly outrageous characters that come to life on the big screen. But, in the context of the movie itself, the characters just can’t imagine that Pete would be telling the truth. Sure, Mr. Meacham has been talking up this so-called dragon for what seems like ever. Indeed, he’d like the local kids to think it’s real. But, when Meacham’s daughter Grace finds Pete (and his wild claims), she’s got to figure out what the real story is.

Enter 11-year-old Natalie (played by Oona Laurence) and here dad Jack (Wes Bentley), to help Grace figure out whether Pete really has a dragon friend or not.

Fun for the whole family (yes, that includes mums and dads too), Pete’s Dragon comes to Australian cinemas on September 15.

    I love that Disney has stories/movies that please the whole family. Something that 4 generations of my family can happily sit down to watch together. All the new remakes have made them even more special as the older generation can remember how it was when they watched as children and get to experience it all updated and with their children/grandchildren

    Disney is a world of amazing characters, far off places, interesting adventures and endless fun, with highs, lows, up’s, down’s, taking viewers on journeys they’d never get to experience or enjoy in real life. Escapism at it’s best, Disney is Disney, a lifetime of memories already made and yet to come.

    I fondly remember as I child, my aunt playing “Puff the Magic Dragon” on the piano for me every time I would visit and I would sing along. As a child I always thought this song was about Elliot and remember relishing in the song and movie and my aunt playing this song!

    As a kid I always loved the song Puff the Magic Dragon, so when my boys got all excited about this movie, it took me back to my own childhood and I would just love to be able to take them to see the movie. Thanks for the opportunity! 🙂

    This would come perfectly at a time where my 5 year old is questioning the magic of Santa as a friend at daycare told him it’s your parents-over and over! Through the magic of Disney I’m sure we could keep the magic of childhood alive. 🙂

    I love all Disney movies and I can’t wait to take my son to his first ever cinema experience and I think this movie would be brilliant for that, I’m sure it’d be his new favourite and he’d remember it forever. He’s almost 6 and loves dragons, he even had a toy one attached to his schoolbag.

    I would love to watch this movie with my kids and show them how dragons are mythical creatures that capture the imagination of so many different cultures, appearing in countless folklores and tales.

    Dragons are real – but now they are extinct. What folks in days gone by thought were dragons; were actually dinosaurs (bones, fossils, etc). What an amazing interpretation of what they found to try to explain one of the mysteries that life held for them. Such an amazing and fascinating insight into life from years ago; that has captivated our imagination to the present day.
