Pete’s Dragon

It’s one of those things when they say a movie has heart. This movie has heart.

I remember the first Pete’s Dragon, which was a live action movie that used a cartoon dragon. This time around, the technology of cinema has made it that they can Crete a CGI dragon that looks like much more than a cartoon.

And it’s filled with those great heartfelt performances:

Robert Redford knocks it out of the park in a role usually given to Morgan freedman. Bryce Dallas Howard, Karl urban, Isiah Whitlock Jr. from the wire successfully stepping out of his element doing this quiet family movie. The dialog these actors had to spew was pretty corny but well played by the actors.

It’s a classic Disney tale redone in the same classic motif. It feels like something I use to watch on the Wonderful World of Disney.

A great family event worth seeing.
