Not one of the best live-action Disney re-imaginings like 'Cinderella' and 'The Jungle Book' (much better than 'Maleficent' though), but still for a re-imagining 'Pete's Dragon' was a good one. While it is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, it proved to be a better film than anticipated. It did have potential to be better than the 1977 film, and still stand very well on its own, or it could have been a lazy and pointless cash-grab. Despite having some really talented names on board, expectations were both of great interest but feeling dubious.
As far as by today's standards, while not a great film and not as good through adult eyes (plus there are better live-action Disney films, especially the timeless 'Mary Poppins'), it's still well worth watching. The 1977 'Pete's Dragon' was a favourite as a child.
