Disney's Classic 'Pete's Dragon' Debuts On Blu-Ray October 2nd

Though there has been no official announcement or press release, the Disney DVD & Home Entertainment website has begun advertising that the 35th Anniversary Blu-ray release of Pete's Dragon will be released on October 2nd.  The 1977 film is another example of the Disney Studio's tradition of bringing live action and animation together in a believable and magical way. 
The website touts an all new digital restoration for this Blu-ray release. However, details on the special features are a little vague and may actually just be recycled material from the 2009 DVD release.



Pete's Dragon Synopsis - A young troubled boy named Pete and his guardian dragon Elliott elude the abusive Gogan family, who all use Pete as a slave instead of a loved child. When Pete can successfully run away from them with his dragon, he stumbles into the town of Passamaquaddy- an ocean front harbor town filled with superstitious fishermen, drunken hooligans and wary townsfolk. Pete's arrival does not mix well with the citizens, as his dragon Elliott accidentally causes town rioting and gossip among the town drunks about the dragon. Expecting to be an outcast yet again, Pete is taken in by the kind Nora who lives in a lighthouse with her father Lampy. While Pete bonds with Nora and Lampy, the townsfolk have not lowered their guards and suspicions about the dragon. And when Dr. Terminus arrives, a phony con artist posing as a doctor, he sees Elliott the Dragon as the ultimate profit to his fame. With Passamaquaddy filled with superstition, greed and lack of imagination, life will not be easy before the town can ever believe Pete's dragon.       SOURCE: IMDB
