Keth Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I loved the original when I was a kid. Hoping this one is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nemo McFly Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I've seen Pete's Dragon so many times - I'm totally interested. Need to see more, though - this feels like it's gonna be a totally different kind of movie. Elliott looks weird all uber-real, fuzzy and w/out his purple mop-top. I'm sure his plushes are gonna sell like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I loved the original as a kid, too. We had four Disney movies on VHS I watched in rotation--Mary Poppins, Pete's Dragon, Blackbeard's Ghost, and Bedknobs & Broomsticks. This trailer isn't really getting me excited for the remake though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 My cousins had SFR, Herbie, and Davey Crocket. Now this is going back to the early 80s when some VHS tapes were priced at crazy expensive prices as "rentals" and you had to wait for the used copies to go on sale to actually own a Disney film on VHS--and to hear my parent's talk back in the day even those were the price of a new Caddy. As for this new film--Elliot better roast some damn apples in this remake is all I'm saying. And I like they got Redford, but he's no Mickey Rooney.

Little Nemo McFly Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Yeah, feels like a different kind of movie. Feels like E.T. almost - in the sense that it looks like a kid trying to protect his freaky bud against the authority figures who are trying to take him (Elliot) away. Ah dunno - just an impression. Might be a cool update. Still need that trailer that tells me what the movie is. Dunno if I'm feelin' that kid - Pete was more a bum, not a savage (Mowgli).
