Magical I thoroughly enjoyed 'Pete's Dragon' because it made me remember that there is magic if you dare to believe!
To be fair, there were a few things that were not too great (like some of the actors), but for some reason I could see beyond that. Thanks to the beautiful story itself, the magnificent cinematography, the lifelike CGI animation of Elliot (the dragon) and the superb acting of Oakes Fegley as Pete.
David Lowery did a good job directing the movie, and casting Robert Redford as Meacham was a smart choice.
I can only recommend this movie - and not only to families and kids, but to everybody who's open to fairy tales and magic.
