Pete's Dragon

Pete's Dragon

Disney loved to mix live action with animation (Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks), but this 1977 effort falls on its face. The turn-of-the-century story concerns an orphaned boy whose only friend is a cartoon monster. While the latter is entertainingly rendered, the rest of the film strains to be enchanting and the cast overreaches in a big way. Not for anybody over the age of ten. --Tom Keogh

Dr. Terminus:
I hate Pa - pa - Pastahazootie, or whatever the name of this town is.

Hoagy:
Quaddy.

Dr. Terminus:
Yeah. I don't want to cure anybody here. They all deserve to have whatever they have.

Nora:
Well if there's enough room for a chowder-head like you, then there is more than enough room for a dragon.

Dr. Terminus:
Why do I hear a bell ringing?

Hoagy:
School must be out.

Dr. Terminus:
It's too early, stupid.

Lena Gogan:
That boy is our legal property, same as the family cow.

Pete:
I can't sell you Elliot. I don't own him.

Hoagy:
Well what did you do, rent him?

Dr. Terminus:
Well who owns him?

Pete:
No one, I guess. He just sort of goes to those who need him.

Dr. Terminus:
*I* need him! Look deliver Elliot to me and the fiver is yours plus a special growth formula that's guaranteed to bring on puberty about a year early... and that's better than a dragon, eh?
