Pete's Dragon (2016)
Directed by David Lowery

Film Synopsis

For many years, the kindly old wood carver Mr Meacham has been regaling the children in his neighbourhood with tales about a fearsome dragon who lives in a nearby forest.  Naturally, Meacham's grown-up daughter Garce, a forester, does not believe a word of these fanciful stories - until the day she meets a 10-year-old boy named Peter.  Having neither home nor family, he lives in the woods and admits to having befriended a gigantic dragon named Elliott.  To Grace's surprise, the boy's description of the dragon matches that of the one in her father's tales.  Enlisting the help of Natalie, a sawmill's daughter, Grace sets out to discover where Peter comes from and whether there is any truth in his fantastic story.  Surely dragons are the province of children's fairytales, not real life...?
