I have no interest in PETE"S DRAGON. They're going to ruin it. The original was perfection, especially the score and songs. No way they can do it better. This and THE JUNGLE BOOK, I fear, will be money-making disappointments. Why not just re-release the originals to the big screen and put in the advertising money there? In a way, Disney is sort of saying "we can do it better, this time" as if the originals are not good enough and do not stand the test of time.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
