Pete's Dragon
SCORE: 80
I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming was provided the Blu-ray +
DVD + Digital HD version of Pete's Dragon for this review. This is the
live action movie version of Pete's Dragon. I must admit that I have not
seen the animated movie in some years. I remember the animated version
to have a happy and friendly version of the giant green dragon who could
vanish whenever he wanted to.
The live action version of Pete's Dragon is much more adult in my
opinion. Pete's Dragon gets really preachy on environmentalism. Pete's
Dragon attacks loggers, and the entire logging industry. Pete's Dragon
does not show the other side. I remember people living in harmony with
nature being forced out of their homes by the government during the
Clinton presidency so only the animals could live there. It is a real
black eye on our nation and a very dark time.
Some of the bonus content on the disc of Pete's Dragon is Bloopers, two
music videos, commentary, disappearing moments, making magic, and a
director's diary. It takes 103 minutes to watch this movie. Pete's
Dragon explains how a dragon could remain unseen in the forest. How? By
turning invisible (magic maybe?). Dragons also do not like people in
Pete's Dragon. Except for the little boy.
Pete's Dragon starts off pretty scary. A little boy of three of four
gets into a car accident when his father avoids hitting a deer. The
little boy Pete is left all alone. He leaves clutching his book and is
surrounded by wolves. This is when the dragon (Pete names him Elliot)
comes by to protect and save him. Six years later the two of them come
across civilization.
There are action adventure moments in Pete's Dragon. The dragon attacks
people. The people capture the dragon. A truck is stolen, and all kinds
of property is damaged. The laws that are violated in Pete's Dragon are
numerous. I also noticed interesting commentary on forcing kids into the
horrible public educational system or letting them live free in the
woods. The dragon also had a habit of sneezing on people.
Near the end of the movie I noticed lessons about sticking with your
species, and how important family is. The dragons in Pete's Dragon are
social. Pete's Dragon also teaches that humans are social too. That
lesson may not be beaten over our heads like the radical far left
environmentalism is, but they are still there. Everyone here at Family
Friendly Gaming had a lot to say about Pete's Dragon. This movie sparked
all kinds of conversation.
