As a blogger, I may be compensated in some way (either pay, product, or experience) for sharing the post below All opinions are my own. ~Heidi

I know, I know, I just posted a Disney movie trailer yesterday.  I’d like to apologize for inundating you with Disney movie trailers.  No, that’s a lie.  I’m not sorry at all.  And here’s why . . . 

In light of all the recent tragic events happening in my happy place, Orlando, FL – home of my beloved Walt Disney World – I think it’s wonderful that we can balance out the negative with the positive, the sad with the happy.  I’m glad that Disney is continuing to produce feel-good, family-friendly movies that give my family not only something to look forward to, but something to enjoy together for years to come.  

So, with all that being said, let’s chat about Pete’s Dragon . . . 

PetesDragon575f03319ec3f

I have to admit, I never saw the original (1977) version of this movie.  I think I’m going to have to change that (it’s available to watch on Amazon).  Reading the description of that one, it seems this new one is loosely based on it. 

OFFICIAL BOILERPLATE:

A reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film, “Pete’s Dragon” is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just so happens to be a dragon. “Pete’s Dragon” stars Bryce Dallas Howard (“Jurassic World”), Oakes Fegley (“This is Where I Leave You”), Wes Bentley (“The Hunger Games”), Karl Urban (“Star Trek”), Oona Laurence (“Southpaw”), Isiah Whitlock, Jr. (“Cedar Rapids”) and Oscar® winner Robert Redford (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”). The film, which is directed by David Lowery (“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”), is written by Lowery & Toby Halbrooks based on a screenplay by Malcolm Marmorstein and produced by Jim Whitaker (“The Finest Hours,” “Friday Night Lights”), with Barrie M. Osborne (“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Great Gatsby”) serving as executive producer.

For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliot. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliot seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon. Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” opens in U.S. theaters on August 12, 2016.

So, what about YOU? Will you be going to see Pete’s Dragon?
