Journal 4: Pete's Dragon

Pete's Dragon

When I first found this article written by Sean O'Neil  I looked at the picture first and I thought hmmm Puff the Magic Dragon.. I will finally be able to see what exactly that is. But then as I read more closely I found that Disney is remaking Pete's Dragon.

As Disney remakes every movie under the sun, they forgot about this 1977's partly animated TV show. I have never seen or even heard of Pete's Dragon, but supposedly it was widely tolerated back in the 1970's. The show is about an orphan, a cartoon dragon and a town full of old, and I would say creepy, fishermen and aging comedians. I do not understand why anyone would find this show entertaining but then again, it is for children and it was mad in the 1970's, a time with not of great as technological advances as today.
