Description
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.

Disney loved to mix live action with animation (Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks), but this 1977 effort falls on its face. The turn-of-the-century story concerns an orphaned boy whose only friend is a cartoon monster. While the latter is entertainingly rendered, the rest of the film strains to be enchanting and the cast overreaches in a big way. Not for anybody over the age of ten. --Tom Keogh

 For the next generation January 7, 2009
This was my daughter's favorite movie when she was a child. This Christmas I decided to give a copy to her to enjoy with her 6 yr old son. The movie is entertaining and showcases good moral values on a level that a child can understand. Perhaps going "back to basics" is not such a bad idea?
 Disney Movie January 7, 2009
Very good condition, received product in a very short time after ordering. I would order from seller again
A great movie even for today's kids! December 27, 2008
This was a great buy. The price was right and my daughter has watched the movie several times! I also enjoyed seeing it again after all these years.
Best children's movie ever! December 17, 2008
I watched this movie when I was little and still love watching it today. I give it as a gift to all of my nieces and nephews and recently got one for my own daughter as well. Can't wait til she is old enough to watch it with me!
 Worst. Movie. For a Kid. Ever November 14, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This was the first film I saw in the theater, and it totally freaked me out. I was 5 and oh man did this movie scare and depressed me. Never saw it again the rest of my life and will NEVER let my children see it.
Thank goodness my next movie was Star Wars. Whew.
