As a testament to its founder's legacy, this is still somewhat lesser Disney. But when viewed in combination for what passes as House of Mouse merriment today ...it's utterly brilliant.

Saddled with an absurdly overlong running time (128 minutes!) and a raft of forgettable songs...

An enchanting and humane fable.

A horrid assault on the senses.

You don't often see children's musicals as ambitious as this one any more.

Another not very charming but harmless fusion of animation and good old real-life.

Offbeat live-action/animation mix with lots of drinking.

Boring, annoying and not funny, Pete's Dragon is one of the dullest films from Disney that I've ever seen.

Unique and badly directed.

In the overall realm of Disney magic, Pete's Dragon is a card trick rather than a grand illusion.

The animation is much the best part of Pete's Dragon, a film not surfeited with great & timeless elements.

The dragon itself grunts, grins and goofs around, but isn't half as appealing as its creators obviously hoped. More character and better animation would have helped.
