O% Originality.
A lame remake of E.T. and The Iron giant
More stupid movie from Disney.
Hmm, yeah. If you put a robot in place of the dragon... yeah, it totally is, isn't it?

LOL... more morons like you who did not see the original movie and feel stupid... BURN
shareIt's a lame remake of Disney's own 1970's film of the same name, Pete's Dragon.Wow, you stupid Disney heads should EDUCATE yourself when attempting to "BURN"...lol
So actually ET and the Iron Giant copied the original Pete's Dragon.
the original source material for Iron Giant (those things with words in it called BOOKS) came out in 1968!
Oh yeah...BURN!!!!

Im gonna punch you in the cooter, I swear to God! share

Pete's Dragon (1977) was based on an unpublished short story that Disney purchased the rights to in 1957.
But there's a strong argument to be made that Pete's Dragon and Ted Hughes' The Iron Man both take inspiration from even earlier works, such as the 1944 play "Harvey" (later famously made into a film starring Jimmy Stewart), and the 1941 children's novel "The Black Stallion" by Walter Farley (adapted as a film in 1979). share
You clearly never saw the original Petes Dragon.... Idiot.
shareI facepalm you and then show how bad your assumption is. Click the link before and see how wrong you are.

I like how the OP thinks this is an insult.
Taking two wonderful movies and delivering the same wonder and flavor is a BAD thing? LOL!
I felt a bit of a King Kong vibe. "Bad" guys looking to capture something for the sake of self-serving purposes.
shareLet's just accept that there is a trope in movies of, "One or more presumably enlightened individuals, certainly a minority within a community, protect a strange being that is looking to be exploited/captured/interrogated/killed simply because of how different it is."
What hasn't really been done yet, that I'd be happy to see, would be turning the trope on its head and leading the audience to believe that the minority protecting the strange being is the right and good thing for a majority of the film, and then having the strange being commit an unforgivable act (wanton destruction, killings, whatever), and having the minority or individual who protected the strange being be wrong.
Essentially, what if the kid in ET was all along protecting a genocidal alien?
Actually, the movie seemed to have a reference to ET: in one street shot, there was a group of kids on bikes, where one bicycle had that crate on the handlebars.
