Disney's Pete's Dragon - NEW Movie Poster

The original, classic Pete's Dragon was certainly a childhood favorite of mine. I remember sitting down with a big bowl of popcorn on Sunday evening to watch Wonderful World of Disney, and sometimes Pete and Elliot would be the featured presentation. I still enjoy sitting down and watching the original with my kids. I can not wait to take my kids to see this NEW Disney movie, opening in theaters on August 12, 2016.

Read more from Disney about the upcoming movie...

For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon. Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” opens in U.S. theaters on August 12, 2016.

Also, be sure to catch the debut of the brand new teaser trailer during "Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60" on ABC Sunday night at 8:00PM EST.
