candle on the water

It had been quite some time since I’d seen Pete’s Dragon, other than Elliott lighting up the end of the Main Street Electrical Parade here at the Magic Kingdom. I was probably quite young and may have seen it when it was played on the original Disney Channel, but I really didn’t remember too much about it at all. For those like me, Pete’s Dragon is the endearing story between Pete and his invisible dragon friend Elliott as they develop a special bond and share a magical friendship.  With memorable characters and heartwarming songs including the 1977 Academy Award® “Best Original Song” nominee, “Candle On The Water,” Pete’s Dragon 35th Anniversary Edition is the perfect timeless classic die-hard Disney fans will love.
