EW has given us our first good look at the dragon from the upcoming Disney remake of Pete’s Dragon. And he’s furry. What the shit?! First of all, it looks nothing like Elliott from the original film. Not to say it has to, mind you, but it would have been nice. And second of all, who the hell has heard of a furry dragon?! Besides your cousin who draws wicked furry dragon fan art, that is. This is a far cry from the great character design and animation from Don Bluth.
Pete’s Dragon stars Oakes Fegley, Oona Laurence, Bryce Dallas Howard, Wes Bentley, Karl Urban and Robert Redford, and is scheduled for an August 16, 2016 release.
