He had the head of a camel and the neck of a crocodile, but back in 1977, the one thing Pete’s Dragon didn’t have was much love from the critics. For all its star power, courtesy of Helen Reddy, Shelley Winters, Jim Dale, Red Buttons, and Mickey Rooney, the Disney live-action-meets-animated adventure did only flittering box office. But now, decades later, was the movie as misunderstood as Pete? How does the Oscar-nominated ballad “Candle on the Water” hold up against other Disney songs? And why was this flick a childhood favorite of (co-host) Brian’s? The Old Roommates review “every little piece” of this boy-meets-dragon fantasy through their middle-aged lens.
