This was by far the best Disney that has come out so far this year. When you are watching this film it takes back to child like wonderment. There is a feeling, that I can't even fully describe, that you only get after seeing a great Disney film and this was the feeling I got watching Pete's Dragon. The closest I can get to saying that is Magic Peace. There haven't been that many kids films that had all of the right elements to create true magic but this one was the first to do it this year.

Magic is truly in the air when it comes to this film. It's a story that you can't spin on and still call it the same movie. To me this film was not a remake, which would mean tearing it apart and recreating something, it's an update. It's an update to a story that was once made. The shined it up a little instead of redoing the whole thing. Disney always does the best job in telling a story. They make mistake like some times over doing the hype a bit and it not living up to what everyone thought it was going to be. However, this film it a simple story about family and love and it's has a little bit of magic thrown in. I felt like I was watching one of their many classics.

I would highly recommend that this be the movie that kids go and see this year.
