And so it came to pass that the Joy Factory Monthly turned its attention a classic Disney musical, Pete's Dragon (1977). This episode, I'm joined by Alex Brown, a librarian, historian, and literary critic. Together, we deep dive into the history if Pete's Dragon, what makes the film so enjoyable, the wild world of drunk lighthouse keepers and angry teachers, and so much more!
