It's a "Brazzle Dazzle Day" when an orphan named Pete and his best friend, Elliott -- an invisible dragon! -- wander into the seaside village of Passamaquoddy. Although Pete befriends the lighthouse keeper Nora (Helen Reddy) and her salty old father (Mickey Rooney), the townspeople think he is behind the hilarious "accidents" that keep happening. But after a daring rescue, everyone believes in Pete's fire-breathing buddy. Featuring an all-star cast (Shelley Winters, Red Buttons, Jim Backus and Jeff Conaway), PETE'S DRAGON is a timeless classic every member of your family will love.

Pete's Dragon: 35th Anniversary Edition [Blu-ray] Specifications

Disney loved to mix live action with animation (Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks), but this 1977 effort falls on its face. The turn-of-the-century story concerns an orphaned boy whose only friend is a cartoon monster. While the latter is entertainingly rendered, the rest of the film strains to be enchanting and the cast overreaches in a big way. Not for anybody over the age of ten. --Tom Keogh

Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends - Races, Rescues & Runaways [VHS]

Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends - Races, Rescues & Runaways [VHS] Overview

Thomas and his English engine buddies face floods, landslides, and taunting trucks in these half dozen 5-minute stories narrated by Alec Baldwin. As in their previous adventures, the spunky toy vehicles survive their mishaps with a combination of quick thinking and help from their fellow vehicles. The hard-working Percy is irked at how dirty he gets hauling rock and coal until being trapped by an avalanche from a mine-shaft collapse puts things in perspective. Competition comes to the Island of Sodor when lorries (British for "trucks") with a bad attitude try to take the engines' places. But a series of accidents and breakdowns restores the engines to their rightful place. The 35-minute video is capped off by a 3-minute "music video" featuring kids singing "Accidents Will Happen" over a series of clips showing the vehicles involved in a series of crashes and other misadventures involving jelly, snow, and a runaway "boulder" that looks suspiciously like a tennis ball. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Reviews

I laugh. We have this video and it was my children (boys and girls, 3 and 5) sits on the edge of their seat.

And 'the music and narration Alec Baldwin, who makes this video a success. You really managed to bring some 'danger' to Sodor, but there is no fear.

Another thing I like about this video collection is that there are many lesser-known characters, like George, Duck, Skarloey, Oliver and Toad.

The titles are:
Toby Flood and
Put Upon Percy
Horror Lorry (s)
Hello George!
Something In The Air
Find Oliver

Five Stars. A good addition to home video warehouse.
