Pete’s Dragon (1977)
What people think it is: Besides being about a boy and his imaginary dragon, most Disney fans think it’s a forgettable entry in their catalogue.
What it is: It’s actually one of my favourite movies growing up. It’s got friendship, family and hope and demonstrates that justice and kindness will always prevail in the end.
Plus the soundtrack is a banger.
With an IMDb Score of 8.8 I wouldn´t call it underrated.
Marvellous Soundtrack by the Dust Brothers btw
H.R.Giger desingning the Harkonnen chairs and table adds to the unique atmosphere. Great cast including Juergen Prochnow, Virginia Madsen, Kyle McLachlan, Max v. Sydow, Dean Stockwell, Patrick Stewart and Sting(!)
Looking forward to see the new iteration!
