This was my all time favorite Disney movie when I was an Adolescent. This song and the song “It’s not easy” with Helen Reddy and Sean Marshall are still two of my most endearing memories from my late childhood. I’d sing It’s not easy to my own kid and grandkids over and over. And R.I.P Helen Reddy, Mickey Rooney and Shelly Winters. Irreplaceable.
This was my introduction to Helen in 1977 when I saw the movie in theaters, I’d have been 7 then. I have loved her so much since then. Didn’t realize she was this famous singer at that time:) I just thought she was a Disney star! lol amazing movie, I get tears when I reminisce.
PETE'S DRAGIN is My Favorite Disney Neon Mickey VHS Release Like 1983 Re-Issue and 1985 But 1980 It was Edit Verison Cuts Out For 105 Mins. Both Copies I Have Are Uncut Verison For 128 Mins Long.
Pete's Dragon was not my favorite of Disney's movie list. But I have grown to really appreciate the heck out of it. I never seen the remake version of it, nor do I feel tempted to. The magic of the original cannot be recreated.
I felt the same way you did, until I watched it. It's actually quite good. The story does take a slight dark turn at one point which caught me off guard, but it wasn't anything that I'd say tarnished the legacy of the original. Worth a watch, even if only once.
I went loads times to see Petes Dragon at my local cinema. I had the movie soundtrack with all the songs on it. Sadly the cinema was closed and demolished but the cinema held a lot of fond memories for me. It gave me my love for cinema and my 1st job when I left school was i trained to be a Cinema Projectionist. I loved the job. My hobby was film making and to work with the bigger projectors and get a wage was just brilliant
A lovely musical number, imaginatively filmed and sung by Helen Reddy, Mickey Rooney and Sean Marshall. The clever choreography was by Onna White who’d won an Oscar for her work on OLIVER!
Wow, I never knew that about the choreography! That is so cool! Thank you for sharing that! I know your comment is two years old, but I just saw it and wanted to let you know it's appreciated. Hope you're doing ok despite the pandemic!
You know I'm thinking, I work at a Retirement Home here where I live and they're always putting on the old classics and the residents love them. I bet they'll love this movie!
@@judeemcdonald6515 oh! I hadn't heard. I love her voice and this movie has remained one of my favourites decades past my "childhood" and she's a big part of that.
@@stephanieellis5399 Yes, she was "'TRULY!'" TALENTED! A 1 of a kind! ... '"Gone' Forever!!!" No other voice, as her's, just as Karen Carpener, my era!!! I am glad!!!
Wow this song takes me back in time to my childhood when this movie was new! My fav Disney movie ever!! ❤️. This movie is my escape from miserable 2020!!!!
I used to date a girl who loved this film only because she wanted to live a lighthouse like that. If you read this, I hope you ended up in a beautiful one Katie.
Alex I don't disagree. That is a song that's optimistic and better than dealing with unpleasant and unfortunate truths about uncertainty. I speak to matters that have produced great sadness all over the planet. Aye - bottoms up :-)!
That would be SO lovely! I LOVE that Elliott is still in the Electrical Parade but it would be SO GOOD to see Pete, Lampie and Nora singing this wonderful song on a lighthouse.
I'd forgotten Helen Reddy passed away. I wonder if she wrote a memoir? She must've had stories working with Mickey Rooney. That man was as crazy as a loon!
I can totally picture Ariel, Rapunzel from Tangled, Cindy Bear, Sawyer from Cats don’t dance, Jewel from Rio, King Trition, Geppetto, Bagheerah, Rafael also from Rio, Arthur/Wart from The Sword in the Stone, Mowgli, Oliver from Oliver and Company, Simba and Mort from Madagascar singing this together.
@@danieldrebsky44 Your opinion. I love them both the same. Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks too. Weather or not you like them too. They’re both still great, regardless of your opinions.
#MickeyRooneyLivesInALightHouse Love this movie, love the songs, and I am trying to start the rumor that Mickey Rooney lives in a Light House #MickeyRooneyLivesInALightHouse
This movie is so underrated! So many memorable songs! And Don Bluth's animation of the dragon was incredible!!
1977.
DISNEYS IMPROVEMENT OVER HAPPIEST MILLIONAIRE AND ONE AND ONLY ORIGINAL FAMILY BAND.
I sang this song out LOUD maybe 30 times on a recent road trip. Loved it more each time.
Sore throat!.
RIP Helen Reddy! This film gave me some "Brazzle Dazzle" days when I was a kid.
Wow

Same, me and my sister had it on a VHS along with Calamity Jane and 7 Brides for 7 Brothers
RIP Helen Reddy. Her singing would make any day a brazzle dazzle day.
@@nathanielklee a famous singer, she’s been in a couple movies
All you have to do is sing the song then it is a brazzle dazzle day
@@nathanielklee she's Nora...
.@Negromancy The way everyone is singing happily like that, Brazzaholic is right.

Wonderful movie, great songs. Helen Reddy was a great singer, I was lucky enough to see her on stage,and she was fabulous
Nora's voice.
I've been playing this song over and over. It helps me clean my house!!!
Awwwww, that's cute.
Exactly what I'm here for right now.
For reals?
I was hearing that too.
Agree
This is my FAVORITE Disney movie.

@Michael McDade I’m surprised i love you too y’ent the runner up
Beautiful song with such a beautiful message. Looking back now it really makes me happy to have ever experienced this movie. ❤️
Irwin Kostal did the music.
Rip Helen reddy 😢and my favorite idol is Sean Marshall
Elliott was designed by Ken Anderson.
Or Maybe Don Bluth
Just rewatched this movie on Disney +. I watched it all the time when i was a kid, now im 51 and i still love it

"When your job becomes a frolic, you'll become a brass-a-holic."
Helen Reddy - perfectly cast as Nora. Makes me so sad that she’s no longer with us.

This son brings joy in my heart
The music literally made this film!!
Rest In Peace To Mr Mickey Rooney Who Plays Nora's Father In This Movie
Also played Richie in Happy Days!
@@delphi5484 no he didnt.
Lampie is a serious man.
And Tod don't forget Tod from Fox and the Hound.

Love this song
RIP Helen Reddy & Mickey Rooney
Great guys.
Great song great movie
These are movies they should play on the Disney channel again. That’s when the Disney channel was great.
No kidding..........Disney Channel is a joke now sadly
It's a brazzle dazzle day...when you think of love and never of sorrow!
R.I.P. Helen Reddy & Mickey Rooney.
and Same For RED BUTTONS and SHELLY WINTERS.
@@danieldrebsky44 But they were not in this particular segment. Ergo not the right place to express condolences to them.
Happy song.
this song is my jam
I had the biggest crush on this lady when i was a kid😂🤣
She was my second crush, my first crush was Barbara Eden as Jennie and I was way too young what men really saw in her, I was in love with her magic.
Me too. I loved it how she loved Pete and wanted to protect him from the evil Gogans.
Damn this brings so much memories back, how i used to love this movie as a kid tho
Well cleographed I will give it that
This is much better than the remake. The remake isn’t all that 👍.
Correct!.
I can imagine Sonic,Knuckles and Tails singing this in the opening scene of Sonic The Hedgehog 3
2:39 This it's my favorite part because sounds like an super party.
"But Elliott has to live, in the cave"
If you notice, all 3 of them change clothes when coming down from the lighthouse and Nora has washed the paint off of her hands.
Helen Reddy just died yesterday as you probably know. She was only 78, why couldn't she make it to 94 like Mickey Rooney did?
They Should Totally Have The Scene Up in the Lighthouse Dancing Like In A Disney Parade!
You can see it when Helen Reddy sings: Candle on the water.
Omg yea
That would be SO lovely! I LOVE that Elliott is still in the Electrical Parade but it would be SO GOOD to see Pete, Lampie and Nora singing this wonderful song on a lighthouse.
It's a damn shame Disney destroyed this story with the remake. I freaking love these songs
No they didn't. We still remember it, and still enjoy this version. As long as that's true, this version lives on.
Nothing is a good as the original. Just like Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the original is much better than the remake.
@@patricksaxon3983 even though the remake is closer to the book than the original
@Scott Hamp so the 1977 version is a loose adaptation?
@@SeasonalGFilms what do you mean?
I know this is weird but every time I visit my local lighthouse in Pensacola I sing this song lol.
Wheres that
Not weird at all. I visited a lighthouse in Longbeach, Washington last year and sang Candle on the Water when I got to the top.
Stil a wonderful movie. Better than the remake
some of these days I'm singing this song
2:55 Is my favorite part
I would be so scared to go up that light house.
Teacher: So, Pete where do you want to live when you grow up?
Pete: A lighthouse
Me: 🤔...agreed!
The teacher wasn’t seen after the school is wrecked until she’s seen in the Mayor’s office. I wonder what happened to her during that time.
@@sparklebunny21 Probably still recovering from the trauma she received when Elliot wrecked the school.
Love it!
Happiest Song Ever =) and it's funny too!
a brazzle dazzle day, indeed!
gonna look forward watching the english version on my flight today :)
Love this movie. Feels esoteric, but I don't care.
Esoteric? This movie could be enjoyed by anyone, especially young people.. you must be a descendant of the Gorgons
It makes me happy 😃
I'd forgotten Helen Reddy passed away. I wonder if she wrote a memoir? She must've had stories working with Mickey Rooney. That man was as crazy as a loon!
This seems like the Heydays, Golden Years, and Milestones for Mickey Rooney & Helen Reddy.
1:57 can't watch without cracking up
i'm still not quite sure what a brazzle dazzle day is, but i think i want one...
gcrockerbam 😚🎹Food restarts tomorrow
gcrockerbam I'll take two!!!
I'd take a whole year! ;-)
babysitter steve lmfao thats the funniest things I ever read.
Is now having a brazzle dazzle day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever they are taking, I want TEN!!! LOL like a commercial for Zoloft!
They built a real -working' Lighthouse just for the movie, in Montana...and still only spent $10 million making this film......take that CGI
In German sings from Katja Epstein So ein Wonnig toller Tag.
0:00 that’s how my sister taught me to paint
By the looks of the lighthouse, they should "no go up down. Go side side".
I just realised the same today . Seen this movie about 5-10 times since a kid. Why not paint side to side lol
RIP Mickey Rooney films even night at the museum
My brother hates this song but I love it!
Me, too!
Who is the actress who plays... Nora? Is that her name? It's been so long since I've seen this. Oh glob, it still stands up. It's so brilliant.
Her name is Helen Reddy.
Lampie getting himself a little sugar on the side
Arranged, orchestrated and conducted by Irwin Kostal
What does Brazzle Dazzle mean?
I can totally picture Ariel, Rapunzel from Tangled, Cindy Bear, Sawyer from Cats don’t dance, Jewel from Rio, King Trition, Geppetto, Bagheerah, Rafael also from Rio, Arthur/Wart from The Sword in the Stone, Mowgli, Oliver from Oliver and Company, Simba and Mort from Madagascar singing this together.
