Please thank my precious daughter,
Ms Heidi @ Fairy Footprints in the Sand
for sponsoring Disney Sunday. Take the time,
if you haven't already to stop by and visit her blog.
She will delight you with her welcoming stories.
She may even have a little guest waving in the
sidebar to welcome you. You never know what you
might find when you enter her magical world.
I love you sweet Heidi Girl.
As the film opens, Pete (Sean Marshall) is running away from the Gogans, his abusive adoptive hillbilly family. The boy is not alone; he has a protective ally in his best friend, Elliott. Elliott is a dragon, but one who's far gentler than the ferocious creature that might come to mind. Standing twelve feet tall, he has tiny wings, a mop of pink hair, and one protruding tooth. He is invisible most of the time and Pete convinces him to be that way as they enter the New England harbor town of Passamaquoddy around the turn of the 20th century. Even so, the generally harmless giant creates some mischief and draws notice, although his scaly green body is only seen by one distrusted townsperson.
Only one apple for dinner, who gets it?
Do they share?
Pete and Elliott dance their way into the
hearts of millions.
Pete instantly makes a connection with Nora (pop songstress Helen Reddy), a kind woman who lives under the neighborhood lighthouse, which she tends with her excitable, saloon-frequenting father Lampie (Mickey Rooney). Still mourning the sea disappearance of her beau one year ago, Nora welcomes Pete into her home, even entertaining his unbelievable dragon talk.
You will have to watch the movie to find out the rest. Where did Pete come from? Who is he running and hiding from? Will Nora and Lampie get to keep Pete and adopt him? What happens to Elliott? Does he burn the town down? Does the mayor not want a dragon in his town? If you haven't seen this light hearted movie, you have to rent it or buy it and watch it today. A wonderful movie for kids. The singing is just amazing.
Do you believe in magic?
