Face McShooty Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 With the debut of the first trailer of the 2016 remake of Pete's Dragon coming out just a few weeks ago, and I just now watched it, I thought I'd post my thoughts about it as well as comparisons between it and the 1977 version, so here it goes, first the trailers! 1977 Version Trailer 2016 Version Trailer I said I will post comparisons between the two trailers, however... there ARE none! What the heck Disney?! You took a timeless classic and RUINED it! The only thing I'm intrigued about in the 2016 version trailer are the 2 glimpses of the dragon, presumably Elliot, are of him flying. If I remember right, Elliot in the '77 version didn't fly at all. I will say this, I do like the logo and poster for the '16 version, let's compare THOSE if we can! 1977 Version Poster 2016 Version Poster Yet again, no comparisons, I like how Disney is trying to save the reveal of, presumably, Elliot by only showing his tail and some of his body in the 2016 poster though. Elliot should be a surprise for older fans of the '77 version like myself. I most likely will not go out of my way to see the 2016 version or even buy it, but I hope it does well. I will be reading the reviews of it when it hits theaters August 12. Now I'd like to get you guys' thoughts on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vla1ne Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 i don't know about anybody else, but this film should never have had the name pete's dragon placed on it. it's a completely different premise using a nostalgic title to get views. the movie might be decent on it's own, in fact, it it hadn't been called pete's dragon, i might actually have *more* interest in it than i do right now. but they've probably shot themselves in the foot by giving it the title of a completely different movie. the original had a completely different feel to it than this new one, and while i'm willing to give it a shot, they've already lost 2 points for trying to use the old title. If this film doesn't have apples and a musical of some sort, then i'm dropping the score 5 more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face McShooty Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Exactly, the name alone ruined the whole movie for me, the premise is intriguing but... The title just killed all intentions for me to go see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 You think they'll CGI the dragon from the 70's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
