Pete's Dragon (David Lowery, 2016)

This was absolutely beautiful and a tearjerker. Not perfect, but I loved it anyway. Disney is on such a roll right now.

Bump since there's not enough people, or anyone, talking about this.

 

Hopefully going today, trailer gives me the chills.

 

Going in about an hour. Very excited.

 

How does it compare to The Jungle Book

 

I'd not heard of the original film but my wife said it was one of her favourites as a child. We saw a trailer for this the other day which was the first we'd heard of a remake. I didn't realise it was already out! I guess we will be going soon in that case!

 

One of the best movies I've seen this year. Sat next to two women that wouldn't shut the hell up, though, even after asking them to. Getting real sick of idiots at the theater.

 

"The Jungle Book" is a touch better, with a more fleshed-out villain, but if you enjoyed that, I can't imagine not liking this.

 

Glad to hear this is good. I haven't seen the original since I was a child, but I always liked it. Will have to rewatch it and then go see this.

 

Easily my favorite movie this summer. So, so good.
