message: ...I don't think Goof Troop's Pete is a dinosaur, or even remotely resembles Eliott.  Does anyone else agree?  MasterXiam 17:52, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any news of a sequel? Most other Disney fims have one now, and unlike most other Disney films with sequels Pete's Dragon does have an open ending. Prehaps he helps a new child in need. (AndrewAnorak 07:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Which (existing) real lighthouse was used as a model for the movie's fake lighthouse? (I mean the one that looks like the closest to the movie lighthouse) 90.28.115.239 (talk) 00:50, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm a huge fan of the film, and have a buttload of the merchandise... and I gotta say, I think it's Trivia section-worthy that the name "Elliott" is so often misspelled- by DISNEY, no less. In fact, the CORRECT spelling happens to be on the MINORITY of the film merchandise- and even the recent DVD release misspells it in their 'Where's Elliot- The Disappearing Dragon Game'- interestingly enough, it's spelled correctly in the introduction to the game- except in the title graphic, IIRC.
The most common mispelling being 'Elliot', though I could've SWORN I've seen "Eliott" in at least one of the books.
The title character's name being PROPERLY spelled "Elliott", as per the opening credits- look and you'll find Charlie Callas listed as the voice of "Elliott", not "Elliot" or "Eliott".
Anyone else ever notice that, or is it just me? Dinosaur bob (talk) 00:33, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Your question got me looking at the opening paragraph, and I decided to reorganize it a bit and make better sense out of it. For the benefit of others (I have a feeling you may have discovered the answer separately) ... the intent of the original statement was to state that the Disney studio bought the rights to the story that turned into Pete's Dragon back in the 1950s. I think the new sentence structure clears up the ambiguity, and just plain reads better.  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 16:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Was Elliott named after Eliot, Maine? Seems to me like someone could've been looking at a map of the Maine coast and found Passamaquoddy Bay at the top and Eliot at the bottom, resulting in those names creeping into the movie. 72.45.174.66 (talk) 05:13, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia is not a program guide. Yes, the film is streaming on a service. It's also available on other services and was shown on still other services at various times in the past. This is trivial information.
Similarly, we do not mention every network, download site and streaming service making "Stairway to Heaven", Pretty in Pink or episodes of Star Trek available.
If you disagree, please find a reliable sources about the film discussing (not a mere mention) its availability. - SummerPhDv2.0 03:35, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
