MY THOUGHTS

I was really looking forward to receiving our copy of Pete’s Dragon in the Blu-ray Combo Pack and my boys were excited to see it today!  It is so much better on the Blu-ray and DVD than I remember as a kid!  The bonus features were pretty awesome too.  My favorite was the “Brazzle Dazzle Effects,” as well as the alternate version of the “Brazzle Dazzle Day” song.  I am so glad we get to add this Disney Classic to our family’s movie collection.  A big thanks goes out to Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment for this review and giveaway opportunity on The Mommy-Files.

    I watched this over and over again on cable. I guess it was when I was in high school and we’d just gotten cable. I don’t remember many of the songs, except for the one that describes Elliot (“He has the head of a camel, the neck of a crocodile, and the ears of a cow.”) and the one Helen Reddy sings, “Candle on the Water.” It’s a great movie!
