Pete's Dragon

Decent Disney film made at the height of their corny, rapid film output of the mid-70s--when a lot of really bad "family films" were shipped out on to the market in an order to draw in mass amounts of cash. This story concerns the tale of an orpan who sees an invisible dragon that only reveals itself to the boy--until a wandering town drunkard (Mickey Rooney) catches a glimpse and sings about his sighting, too.

Come to think of it, this movie is really, really bad. I own it and I used to watch it quite often as a kid--the songs are bad, the filming is bad, the villains are bad examples of poor acting (or is that good examples of poor acting?)...

Still, enjoyable enough to recommend.
