Pete's Dragon Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
The kind of film that can entertain more attentive and patient children simply by putting a memorable world and memorable characters onscreen.
MTV
Amy Nicholson
Picture the exec who said that scales might be too strange, as though asking kids to dream wasn't the point
Observer
Oliver Jones
Pete's Dragon is one of those movies that talks a lot about magic-Robert Redford, the grandfatherly narrator whose "by and by" bookends the film, says the word at least seven times-rather than effectively presenting it on screen.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
One more thing about Pete's Dragon: You will cry. A lot.
Spectrum Culture
Kristen Lopez
Pete's Dragon is family entertainment at its best.
National Catholic Register
Steven D. Greydanus
A rare family film that takes its time and allows the characters to breathe, to romp in the forest, to gaze at stars...I wish I'd grown up watching this film instead of the original.
Vox
Emily St. James
Disney's Pete's Dragon remake is one of the summer's better movies -- and that would have been the case even in a summer that wasn't largely dominated by lousy sequels and tired franchise extensions.
The Ringer
K. Austin Collins
[Pete's Dragon] is a tentpole movie that feels personal.
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
It is, above all, gentle, sometimes to a fault.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Lowery's not just an artisan crafting what could've been product - he's creating a road map for how these remakes should be done, if, indeed, that's where we're going anyway.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
"Pete's Dragon" conjures the primordial power of fantasy itself.
Christianity Today
Alissa Wilkinson
It's an uplifting tearjerker, and deserving of your box-office dollars.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
After half an hour or so of ... stutter steps, Pete's Dragon starts working on you, much like those gold standards of the boy-and-his-otherworldly-friend genre, E.T. and The Iron Giant.

Leonard Maltin
A Disney vehicle that swoops in to fill us with a sense of wonder. .. Filmmaker Lowery has helmed a joyful re-imagining destined to be the delight of the summer...
Slate
Dan Kois
Pete's Dragon is a gentle, understated family adventure, one that feels notably unlike the simplistically sentimental product the Disney imprimatur might lead you to expect.
CBR
Kristy Puchko
Painted in vivid colors, flush with love and alive with whimsy, Pete's Dragon is a superbly sweet and earnestly enchanting delight.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
More wistful and introspective than most family movies this year, Pete's Dragon is deeply moving and unforgettably touching. This is timeless storytelling.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
It is slightly unfair to say that this reboot of "Pete's Dragon" is middling on a larger scale, but it's not entirely inaccurate either.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Rather than a big, special effects-driven blockbuster, this remake of the 1977 Disney musical has the homespun feel of a children's book come-to-life.
Dallas Morning News
Nancy Churnin
Pete's Dragon may owe more to E.T.: The Extraterrestrial, along with a dash of The Jungle Book,than it does to the original Pete's Dragon.
