    Grandson love as much as mum

    Our youngest daughter loved this film now her 3 year old son is in love with Elliott and also has a soft toy which goes to bed with him .It has not aged at all and beats the new version which like most of these remakes is dark and no innocent

  • Most critical review

    Dated and rather frightening. Unsuitable for little children

    I'd heard this was a classic children's film but the story had a dark tone from the start.. I did not consider it to be suitable for little children. Too scary. I bought this for our little grandson who is keen on dragons but after viewing the first 30 minutes I decided not to give it to him so it turned out to be a waste of money. As a secondary criticism, the quality of the colour was also poor. It all seemed very dated.. I would not recommend this film.

  • Original version great for young and old alike.

    I have seen both the original film and the new modern version. The modern version does not live up to this highly entertaining film/musical with animation. Sit back and slip into a child's world where a child's needs are fully taken care of by a giant dragon with pink hair. A young boy escapes the hands of a hill billy family who bought him for fifty dollars with the aid of the dragon he crosses the country until he arrives at Passamaquoddy. Here he finds a home with people who love him. Lots of magic ,comedy and slapstick. The quality of the film received was perfect in sound, vision and container all in original perfect state.

  • Version exactly as required.

    Didn't say product was better than expected. Simply gave star rating considered appropriate; system made assumption regarding degree of satisfaction. Product exactly as would have hoped. In reasonable condition for age, complete & seems to work OK. Product is earlier 1977 semi animated + live action production not later 2016 less animated more fully live action rendering. Exactly what was required

  • Two hours of fun-packed entertainment.

    An excellent romp for children, with cardboard cut-out heroes and villains with lots of songs 9 although most of them are not that memorable, after first hearing.

  • Do not order if you live in the United States.

    Read the small print. Despite that it says DVD, I guess it's only for DVD players anywhere outside of the US. I found that out the hard way, so I will be forfeiting the cost of the DVD plus shipping.
