Pete’s Dragon coming to Blu-ray, DVD Nov. 29

“Pete’s Dragon,” a reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film centered on an orphaned boy named
Pete and his best friend Elliot — who just so happens to be a dragon
— comes home on Nov. 29 on Digital HD, Blu-ray™, Disney Movies
Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand.

Families will be captivated by this
magical movie followed by never-before-seen bonus features, including
a revealing look at director David Lowery’s personal diary kept
during the filming of “Pete’s Dragon,” the design process
behind the lovable dragon Elliot, deleted scenes, a tour of the
film’s breathtaking production location of New Zealand, audio
commentary by filmmakers and actors and hilarious bloopers.

“Pete’s Dragon” stars Bryce
Dallas Howard (“Jurassic World”) as Grace, a forest ranger
in the Pacific Northwest who happens upon 10-year-old Pete, played by
Oakes Fegley (“This is Where I Leave You”). Oona Laurence
(“Southpaw”) is Natalie, the 11-year-old daughter of Jack,
a lumber-mill owner played by Wes Bentley (“The Hunger Games”).
Karl Urban (“Star Trek”) is Jack’s bumbling brother Gavin
and Oscar®-winner Robert Redford (“Captain America: The Winter
Soldier”) portrays Mr. Meacham, an old wood carver who delights
the local children with tales of a fierce dragon.

The film is directed by David Lowery
(“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”) from a screenplay by Lowery &
Toby Halbrooks based on a screenplay by Malcolm Marmorstein and
produced by Jim Whitaker, p.g.a. (“The Finest Hours”), with
Barrie M. Osborne (“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the
Ring”) serving as executive producer.

Writer/director Lowery reveals, “I
look back on childhood as an adventure, and I wanted to capture that
on screen in the smallest—but also the biggest—way.” The
big—the creation of an irresistible 24-foot tall, green, furry
dragon that can breathe fire and turn invisible—is brilliantly
tackled by the team at the Academy Award®-winning visual effects
company Weta Digital (“The Hobbit” films and “The Lord of the
Rings” trilogy). But it’s the small moments between characters
that so beautifully convey the film’s powerful message: the
importance of friendship, family and finding one’s place in the
world.
