Pete’s Dragon Movie Explained

Rate this post

A lovely little kid named “Pete” is seen at the start of the movie.

At that time, he is moving somehow with his parents.

He is reading a story of a puppy in his book.

This story includes that puppy is going on an adventure.

“Pete” asks his parents here , What is an adventure?

Hearing this, Pete’s father tells him,

The adventure is where we are leaving in a thick and spacious forest,

Which is complete desolate. And we continue to move ahead while staring at the stars.

After this, “Pete” asks him, Will there not be felt scary if it is such a place?

Hearing this, his father says, Yes ! It is felt fear.

It is felt by everyone! But there is a condition to go for adventure.

It is as your boldness is the first priority for this!

My son! Tell me now, Are you bold?

Pete’s mother says on it, Yes! My son is bold. I know Pete! You are so brave.

You are special for your mother! No one is braver than you in the whole World.

Suddenly, an animal appears before their car from somewhere and their car is become imbalance.

Consequently, their car faces an accident. Unfortunately, Pete’s parents are died.

“Pete” is only the survivor in this accident. When he observes this ,

That his parents are no more in this World then he is shaken from inside.

He had left all alone in this World so he starts crying.

That forest was so thick and horrific so horrible sounds of animals begin to echo in surroundings.

So “Pete” is scared and he begins to run here and there to hide and escape his life.

He hears a horrible sound all of a sudden but he observes that,

A green Dragon appears before him. It was so giant that,

“Pete” is frightened , seeing it. That dragon comes nearer to “Pete”.

It begins to stare at him. “Pete” asks the dragon here,

Will you eat me? Will you not take pity on me?

Now there were horrible sounds and the dangerous animals in the forest,

So that dragon stands up , making “Pete” sit on its hand to rescue him.

Later, it is seen that 6 years have passed in the story. Six years later, There is male teacher is seen.

This teacher used to tell the stories of dragon to the kids.

He tells them, All existed dragons here comes from the sky while flying!

They all dragons come in the group . If one dragon is separated from them,

Then that dragon starts living in the forest . But it had not been seen yet by anyone.

But one person has witnessed him. And that person is me! Otherwise, no one else witnessed it.

In the meantime, teacher’s daughter named “Grace” comes there .

She says to her father, Father! What are you doing? You are again scaring the kids.

Hearing this, teacher says to her, No! I am not scaring them but telling the truth!

How dangerous the think forests are!

What happens there. “Grace” says on this, Alright!

I become convinced with you! There may surely be the dragons in the forest.

I also went there and witnessed many animals but no dragon.

Her father replies, hearing this, If you don’t witness anything, It does not mean that it does not exist!

Hearing this, “Grace” says, Father!It may also happen as the things which we see,

They may be an illusion! Now I am also going to the forest.

I will surely tell if I glimpse any dragon there.

Then a little girl says to that teacher, I trust you! You are speaking truth.

That dragon really exists ! Hearing this, that teacher answers,

Thanks God! Someone believes in my stories. My daughter is so strange.

She believes in those things which are apparent to her eyes.

But we should take big actions in our life! If you will continue to see the same thing in your life,

Which is in front of your eyes then you will never be able to witness something unique.

So we should always be ready to face the novelity!

I claim that there is dragon in the forest. In the next scene , forest sight is seen.

The same kid “Pete” is seen there who is playing with a rabbit. Now 6 years have passed now,

Now that kid “Pete” has also grown up! His parents have passed away,

So he lives in this forest with that green dragon. They live here as a family.

“Pete” and dragon” love with each other. They play and enjoy together. They also fly in the forest.

Now that dragon also takes the advantage of his green colour as he may hide himself in the trees.

And it has also a special ability as he can also change its colour.

Its benefit is that no one can find it.

“Dragon” and “Pete” are moving to their house. Then they glimpse “Grace” there.

They think, A girl has arrived here . She may not cast a glance at us!

So dragon hides himself among the trees while transforming its colour.

But that kid “Pete” is glimpsing “Grace” covertly.

“Pete” steals a compass from the bag of “Grace”. When she feels a movement there,

She looks after turning back but no one is there. Then a man says there after coming,

Grace! We are getting late. We should leave.

So they leave from there. After this, “Pete” and dragon also go to their house.

Their house is actually a cave. Coming to the house, they start to communicate with each other.

“Pete” says to the dragon here, No one knows who was that girl? From where did she come?

Don’t be afraid! I am with you and I will secure you!

I promise you that I will never let you be harmed! Next day, it is seen that,

“Pete” hears some sounds . “Pete” runs to check this while running,

At last, Who is there? To whom these sounds belong!

“Pete” observes in a hidden way that some people have come here who are cutting the trees.

“Grace” and her fiance are also come here. “Grace” says to her fiance,

We should not cut the trees to a large distance in the forest. It is a wrong act!

Her fiance replies, hearing this, I did not order this but it is from your brother!

Now Grace’s niece gets off the car and says,

Hurry up! I am getting late. Hearing this, her father says to her that,

Okay! We leave. Go and sit in the vehicle.

But it is seen, his daughter does not get in the car but she begins to wander in the forest to and fro.

Then she glimpses “Pete” who runs away, seeing her.

She also runs after “Pete” and she begins to climb up a tree while chasing him.

Then she is slipped. She begins to fall but “Pete” attempts to rescue her.

When “Pete” secures her then she asks him, How old are you?

“Pete” replies, I am 5 years old! Knowing this, girl replies, I don’t believe that you are 5 years old!

Because 5 years kids are so young not fully elder like you.

What is your name? saying this, she also tells her name.

Then that little girl’s father , Grace’s brother comes there while searching her.

Her father says to that little girl,

I Had asked you to be in the car . From whom have you take permission to come in the forest?

You should not wander here alone. There may be danger!

Hearing this, that little girl says, I am wounded ! I had fallen from the tree.

And you are scolding me. Hearing this, her father says, You should avoid to come here!

That little girl tells, I came while chasing “Pete”. Now “Pete” is also before all of them.

And he is frightened , seeing all. “Grace” asks him that,

Oh kid! Who are you? What is your name? How did you come here?

Where are your parents? Then “Grace” observes that the same compass is around his neck,

Which had been stolen from her bag by him. Now “Pete” is so confused here that,

Then he begins to run from there but they all stop him together.

In spite of this, “Pete” does not stop and runs away.

As being badly wounded, he falls at the same place.

Then that green dragon is seen which wakes up.

It begins to call “Pete” as he was not being seen anywhere by it.

In spite of this, “Pete” does not come so he begins to search for him. Grace’s fiance says to his brother,

Until forces and the villagers may not detect this kid , we will not start our work here.

We will not cut the trees of this place. But Grace’s brother says,

No! It cannot be followed. I cannot wait!

We will have to cut the trees of this place.

They carry “Pete” with them because he is so wounded.

Then that dragon also comes there while searching for him.

He glimpses them. The tree behind which he is observing them,

Then that tree falls down. As a result, they witness that dragon.

They are confused , seeing it. And they go in search of it with their guns after this.

Further, it is seen that “Pete” has restored his senses,

Where he finds himself somewhere else not in forest.

He was worrying for his friend dragon so he begins to search for him.

Meanwhile, “Grace” also comes at the hospital and she is talking with police about “Pete”.

She says, We will have to detect about his residence and parents soon!

Then it is seen that “Pete” runs from the hospital where they all attempt to search for him.

And they also discover him. On the other side, Grace’s brother is searching for that dragon.

“Grace” leads “Pete” to her home there.

“Grace” says to “Pete”, I have known that your home is forest!

I promise you that I will lead you to your home forest tomorrow! But there is one condition for this,

As you will have to reveal the whole truth as where do you live?

Where is your house? Grace’s brother reaches the cave of dragon in the forest.

Reaching there, he discovers Pete’s one of the books,

Which is being taken with him by Grace’s brother.

Seeing this, dragon loses its temper and it assaults all of them.

It takes that book back from them. They all are frightened , witnessing a giant figure.

So they begin to run from there in order to rescue their lives.

“Grace” also receives a call by police. Where an officer informs her that,

We have found a file in the old record. Then he tells about “Pete” to “Grace”.

His patents passed away in an accident 6 years ago!

Grace’s niece asks “Pete”, is that dragon your imaginary friend?

Grace’s niece has asked this question from “Pete” because he is sketching a dragon at that time.

Dragon is so worried on not finding “Pete” there.

He begins to search for “Pete” in the whole city. Casting a glance on sketch, Grace’s niece says,

Your friend is like a dragon. And it is also in a song about which my father often tells me.

And that song’s story has also told the dwelling of the dragon.

That little girl tells him further, We may detect the location through the stars!

But it is not sure . It is just hearsaying!

It means that many dragons live there. In the meantime, “Grace” also comes there.

Who says to “Pete”, Thanks for searching my compass!

It is so rare for me because it was given as gift by my father!

It was gifted to me so that I may come back to home easily if I ever lost the way!

She also says to “Pete”, Have courage! You are not alone.

Never feel yourself alone! Hearing this, “Pete” says, Yes! I know,

I am not alone because my friend is with me! “Grace” says, Okay! Tell me about your that friend.

Who is he? where is he?Hearing this, “Pete” shows him his drawn sketch instantly.

“Grace” immediately recognizes it, seeing this. As it is the same green dragon!

“Pete” tells “Grace” here, My friend is so special here!

He does not like everyone. But I am sure that you will surely be liked by it.

You may meet it tomorrow when It will see me. You may witness it.

“Grace” says to him, You are very nice and brave kid! I never met with the boldest kid like you in my life.

Then Grace’s brother is seen who comes to Grace’s fiance.

He also tells him about Pete’s friend green dragon!

“Grace” also hears the whole story. Grace’s fiance says to her brother that,

I apology that I cannot accompany you to forest! I am busy!

Receiving the disfavour, Grace’s brother leaves away after being furious.

Meanwhile, that dragon also arrives the same house in search of “Pete”.

That dragon feels ill when it observes “Pete” with that family.

It feels sadness. Being sad, it leaves away.

On the other side, “Grace” is seen who talks with her father or the same teacher.

She reveals the whole story about “Pete”. She says to him while requesting him that,

My father! tell me the reality. Then her father reveals the truth to her.

It means, How did he see the dragon? Where did he witness it?

Next day, all move to the forest where “Grace” says to “Pete” on the way that,

Why do we not accompany that man who has awareness about your friend dragon?

“Pete” says after hearing this, Why not!

It is a good idea then they also accompany Grace’s father.

After a while, they reach the forest. “Pete” moves to the same cave where he searches for his dragon.

He takes that dragon outside as he gets it . When all witness dragon in front of their eyes,

They all are left shocked. Meanwhile, Grace’s brother also reaches there with his fellows.

Coming there, he attacks the dragon and captures it.

They fire it with the tranquilizer and also makes it unconscious. When it loses its consciousness,

They carry it with them after making it a captive.

“Pete” is drowned to sorrow, witnessing this. So he is crying for his friend dragon.

“Grace” consoles to “Pete” here, Listen to me! Don’t worry!

I give you words that your friend will get no harm!

Grace’ brother was not being convinced here by anyone.

He declares, I need this dragon at any cost!

Because this dragon make me famous me in the whole World.

I will get an advantage from this! I will earn a lot of money through it!

Then he calls the forest department members so he may show that dragon to all of them.

Now “Grace” and her niece moves to that dragon sneakingly!

Police also approach there. There is going on controversy among them.

There is no one inside as they enter while opening the door.

That dragon had fled away. So they move in search of it.

But it is seen that dragon is not run away but it is still there.

No one witnessed it because it can transform its colour.

Now this ability is just worked like a magic! Now they move away, driving the truck .

In which the truck was present. Grace’s brother orders to chase that truck after seeing this.

Because they all want to catch that dragon. And they quickly begin to follow that truck.

“Pete” suggests to his dragon, Hurry up ! Fly from here!

But it could not fly. Then Grace’s brother stops his truck in front of their vehicle.

So he may stop them. Unluckily, their truck brakes are failed at the same time.

So Grace’s brother has to drive away. Then they move ahead while crashing with a car.

Then the police vans and the public vehicles drive there. Seeing them, Dragon fills with rage.

So it tries to stop them, going before them.

It starts throwing fire while extracting from its mouth.

“Pete” also tries to stop it and forbids it of doing all of these action.

But an accident is witnessed there. As “Grace” and her fiance’s car begins to fall from the bridge.

But dragon rescues both of their lives on the request of “Pete”.

Now Grace’s brother who was enveloped with greed for a long time,

He becomes happy , seeing this as this dragon has rescued “Grace” and her fiance.

In the meantime, many helicopters approach there.

Then dragon asks “Pete” to come with it and “Pete” agrees with it.

Dragon flies up from here, taking “Pete”. Now they both reach their house forest.

“Pete” says to his dragon here, I know that your are my friend!

You have deep affections for me! Listen to me! But we cannot live here more!

Everyone has seen you and known about you as it is your house!

That you stay here and they will surely come in search of you!

That dragon says after being upset, You may return to that family again!

Because you cannot live with me here. You need a family!

Hearing this, “Pete” says to it, No dragon! You are my friend and everything!

I am not going to leave you anywhere! This scene is very sentimental.

A beautiful relationship is seen here. In the next scene, it is seen that “Pete” has gone to “Grace”.

That dragon comes to leave him here and returns back.

Then no one witnessed that dragon exactly after that day.

The time continues to pass. “Pete” finally knows where is that dragon?

Now “Pete” comes to meet his friend dragon. He plays with it like before.

He rejoices a lot with it. Now dragon also reaches its family now.

And it is also very satisfied. The movie completes while showing these joyful moments.
