Pete's Dragon is the latest Disney film to be reimagined and reanimated. The movie was first seen in cinemas in 1977 with simple and basic animation. It was all about Pete, a young boy who had a huge dragon for a friend named Elliot. Pete had lots of fun with Elliot especially because he was unlike any dragon - Elliot can make himself invisible.
Although animators have revived Pete's Dragon, its sweet and charming story was kept intact. It will still show Pete and Elliot's unlikely friendship where the dragon protected and cared for the child with his life.
