Do not have warm fuzzies about this one. I wish they could find a way to make the original connect with new audiences instead.

Agreed.

IIRC, Elliot went off to help some other kid who needed him at the end of the movie. I'd much rather they take that route and make it more like a sequel instead of a remake.

It sounds like that is what they are doing since the kid in this one lost his parents in a car wreck when he was 4 and lived in the woods alone with Elliot after that.

Plausible, but considering what Disney has done with other live action movies, I'm guessing it's more of a rewrite. They'll keep a few elements but create a whole new story.

Everyone realizes that the Dragon will now be realistic/CGI, right? It's going to be more darker undoubtably too. More like "How to Train Your Dragon" if I had to bet.

Agreed or as noted here............follow with a continuing storyline.

I hope they don't get too crazy with Elliot's animation. I know not everyone today is nostalgic as I am but I'd like them to give some of the older movies more love. Especially this one.

Pete's Dragon is my favorite Disney movie!! I hope it's a good remake.

I wish I could find more Pete's Dragon merchandise so maybe with the remake I'll be able to find some.
