Disney have made a pretty penny bringing their animated classics back to the big screen as live action films. Their latest is Pete’s Dragon, which is remembered by many from the 1977 animated film, and following a pretty fun trailer the marketing bandwagon is picking up speed.
Just fallen off this bandwagon is the first TV spot which sets out the story of Pete and his Dragon in fine fashion.
Bryce Dallas Howard and Robert Redford lead the film with Oakes Fegley as the titular Pete.

Synopsis!
A reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film, “Pete’s Dragon” is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who just so happens to be a dragon.
For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon
