Pete's Dragon hits theaters August 12th, 2016.
 
A reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film, “Pete’s Dragon” is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who just so happens to be a dragon. “Pete’s Dragon” stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Oakes Fegley, Wes Bentley, Karl Urban, Oona Laurence and Oscar® winner Robert Redford. The film, which is directed by David Lower, is written by Lowery & Toby Halbrooks based on a story by Seton I. Miller and S.S. Field and produced by Jim Whitaker, p.g.a., with Barrie M. Osborne 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 Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott 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.

Anyway, since I can't make an article about this, I might as well say what I think of the trailer.

I think it looks pretty good. Feels like an old-school family creature film from the 80s. I loved Pete's Dragon as a little kid, but speaking as a full-fledged... teenager, I think the movie is okay. It has some good elements, but some elements that are too whimiscal and over-the-top, even by Disney standards. It's not that bad, but there are some points where it feels like it's a Disney wanna-be, more than an actual Disney film.

@Quicker - I loved a lot of the songs from the original. If they are taking away the musical elements from this one I think I will be disappointed some. Already it doesn't even look like a coastal town.
"I Saw a Dragon", "It's Not Easy", "There's Room For Everyone", "Candle on the Water", and "Brazzle Dazzle Day" were great. The original film spoke alot about accepting differences and not letting go of hope.

@Battabing - Elliot:
He has the head of a camel,
the neck of a crocodile,
And the ears of a cow!
He's both a fish and a mammal
And I hope he'll never change,

Looks really different from the original. But I've always kinda liked the original so I'm not really sure if that's a good or a bad thing...
