Happy Monday!
Man’s best friend is a dog.
Boy’s best friend is…a dragon?
1977 was quite a year for moviegoers, including the cinematic wonders Star Wars and Pete’s Dragon. While each film showcased its graphics differently, both movies left a memorable impression with everyone who saw them. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a massive hit (putting it lightly) at the end of 2015 with its throwback to practical effects as the first choice and CGI as the alternative when realism needed just a little imaginative assistance.
The first peak inside the revisited world of Pete and his magical dragon seems to be leaning on that same dynamic.
Will 2016 be the year of the dragon?
Have a Magical Week!
Happy Boomerang Thursday!
The initial “throw” was great, now time will tell if its return “back” to the cinema will meet expectations.
With its already existent universe (technically, its land and world), Disney is set to be one of the biggest winners of the year with the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens this December. And remaining in the spirit of popular franchises and movies being rebooted, Disney just revealed the latest surprise in their magical portfolio at the D23 Expo 2015.
Will this adaption match the original from 1977? Realistically, no. But the hope is that it will be a fun and worthy second chapter in the movie’s warm, captivating story.
It’s fair to presume that if this asset gets out of containment, it will bring only imaginative happiness to the characters and audience alike.
