I’m not quite sure what to make of the retooled Pete’s Dragon except that it’s apparently nothing like the original, though oddly enough, what they both share in common is the significant role animation plays–though in this instance it’s the result of–more likely than not–hundreds of computer artists, as opposed to relatively few of the hand-drawn variety.

Another change is that Pete this time around is a wild child in the vein of a young Tarzan or Mowgli–who also happens to have starred in another Disney movie that’s doing really, really well.

Either way, not too interested though Robert Redford has apparently being shared among Disney’s various divisions.
