    You've see- Shut up, you've seen it... You have FUCKING seen this! You simply don't want to ADMIT having seen it, but I guarantee the VHS was popped in near as many times as Little Mermaid...

    Oh, you're going to sit there and tell me that you don't remember a net being thrown over an invisible cartoon dragon, or even anything scenes involving the lighthouse?!
    I KNEW IT! You've been on drugs this whole time, and so you can't recall a thing before about age 10 I take it? "BATMAN", huh? You've been telling that campfire story for YEARS, so of course you'd remember. Though let me just get something straight right now, Pot-Face: (hmph, the next Tracy villain?) There - AIN'T - no - bat.

    "You shouldn't have turned the
    gun on that kid, man. You sho-"
    "You want your cut of this money
    or not? Now shut up! SHUT UP."
    Both punks freeze at the sudden, inexplicable sound of black boots crunching on gravel. They turn
    slowly. Their jaws drop. - - - - - - -

    At the edge of the roof, bathed in moonlight, is a black apparition.
    Eddie freezes, a choked gurgle in his throat. Black figure advances
    and spreads its arms, slowly,
    majestically. Great shadowy
    wings flap in the wind. On its
    chest is the emblem of a bat,
    in an oval yellow field, glowing
    like a target in darkness.

    (cue random sex scene)

    Uniformed patrolmen drag
    a brain-fried Nick past. - - -
    "A bat, I tell you, A GIANT BAT
    wanted me to do him a favor!"

    One of the greatest Disney movies ever! It was my favorite when I was little and still is still a favorite at 15. It is a movie that not too many know about and it should be more popular.

    One of those old Disney movies that you forget about, but not necessarily because it was bad, just not quite as memorable as the classics.

    Incredibly memorable and a creative tour-de-force. Tour-de-force! Seriously. I identify with this movie more now than I ever did when I was little. Who hasn't wished that their best friend was an invisible dragon that always had your back? Nobody didn't, that's who didn't.

    So disappointing when you watch this again. If you loved it when you were a kid it's probably best not to watch again.

    This story of a winsome orphan and his guardian dragon features an Academy Award-nominated score and song, Helen Reddy's "Candle on the Water." The combination of a live-action story with an animated figure was innovative in 1977, and the green dragon with pink wings will still charm youngsters today. However, its plot has the boy running from a nasty family to whom he's been sold into slavery, as well as an evil magician who tries to steal the dragon for his parts. These dark story lines may scare or bore younger children, who only want to see Elliot the dragon belch fire and give Pete rides on his back. And older children who might appreciate the plot may scoff at the relatively crude animation. This leaves a rather narrow audience window of about ages 3 to 7. A cast of veterans includes Shelley Winters, Mickey Rooney, and Red Buttons, who all turn in the hammiest of performances. Acting newcomer Reddy demonstrates both why her acting career never took off and why her singing career did. (Lines like "You're a bunch of superstitious ding-dongs" don't give her much help.) However, her sometimes awkward performance as the lonely lighthouse keeper who gives the boy a home provides the film with its heart. Bottom line: it's a keeper for diehard Disney fans, dragon lovers, and those who remember this movie fondly from their childhood.

    l haven't seen this movie in almost 20 years, but l do remember certain parts of it scaring me: sort of an adverse effect, being a Disney movie.

    Nostalgia again...but don't believe it, this is Disney, they are Satan's claw...watch Studio Ghibli films instead, and your children won't grow up to be rapists, terrorists or killers...I promise

    This is one of my guilty pleasures. I loved this movie so much as a kid. The music, the characters and the story were fun! I still get happy when I hear "Brazzle, Dazzle Day" and emotional when I hear "Candle On The Water". I suppose I'm just unable to see the movie through the cynical eyes of critics.
