By the way, nice usage of the Epic Mickey episode. I personally don't like Pete's Dragon, Doug Walker was totally right, its seems like a parody of a whimsy Disney film, not a real one! The music numbers I don't care much for, and the most notable thing was the villain. I don't think the animated segments aged very well, hardly Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. I did forget just how many noteworthy people were in it. I mean yeah, Mickey Rooney doing the second most embarrassing role in 20 years, behind just Breakfast at Tiffany's, but at least he's fun. The animators though, Randy Cartwright? Ron Clements? GLEN KEANE? Produced by Ron Miller? Animated scenes directed by Don Bluth? Lot of talented people that would go on to much better things. Paul's Dragon though, it did seem generic, which is both better and worse then the original, but hey, we can't call it a movie that will forever be trapped underneath the shadow of a far better film like Maleficent/Sleeping Beauty, that's for sure. PS, finally saw your Billy Mays ad for Sausage Party, just as good as I hoped for.

I think that's a fair score to give it, because that's what it seemed like to me from what I saw in the trailers, it just looked ok. Not bad, but not great either. I do kind of hate the fact that they through in a villain, just because the original had a villain and not give him any motivation and what to do with the dragon once he had him, because even in the original the villain had some motivation for wanting Elliot.
