Pete's Dragon

CriticsCritics: 80
AudienceAudience: 6.9

A lonely boy living in the forest claims he has been cared for by a giant green dragon. When a forest ranger and a local girl meet him, they try to understand his past, find him a home, and protect the mysterious creature from people who want to capture it.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this gentle, emotional family adventure if you like The Jungle Book or The Sea Beast; Not for you if you want fast pacing, complex storytelling, or a darker fantasy.
