Quick Synopsis
In the Pacific Northwest, Mr. Meacham, an elderly wood carver, has long entertained local children with stories about a fierce dragon living deep in the forest. His daughter, Grace, a forest ranger, dismisses these stories as mere legends until she encounters Pete, a mysterious 10-year-old boy without a family or home, who says he lives in the woods with a large green dragon named Elliott. Pete's account closely matches the dragon described in Mr. Meacham's tales. Alongside Natalie, an 11-year-old whose father Jack owns the nearby lumber mill, Grace begins to investigate Pete's background, his place in the community, and the reality of the dragon Elliott.
Detailed Synopsis of Pete's Dragon
For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace, who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales... until she meets Pete, a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete's descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham's stories. With the help of Natalie, an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.
