 From five to eleven years of age... 

"It was really good because of it's 'epicness'! (What does that mean?) Because it was so cool how everything about the film was put together so well! Also, I really liked that the dragon could turn invisible. It is a real good movie! Cooper - 7 years old

It had lots of action and you should go because it really great. It is a movie that makes me laugh and cry. Everyone should go see it. Toby - 8 years old , turning 9 this month

 "I liked everything about it. I really liked this film!" Chloe - 11 years old

 There you have it! The reviews are in from the very audience that it was made to please. Well done to our junior review team!

REEL DIALOGUE: What are some of the bigger questions to consider from this film? 

*Hebrews 11:1- Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. 

The imagination of a child or the ravings of an older man could be dismissed within any community, but what about the idea of God? Throughout human history the discussion about God's existence has been the subject of many conversations, arguments and even wars. A film like Pete's Dragon can be dismissed as mere cinematic fluff, but it does open the door to a bigger consideration. Can we believe in something we cannot see? Fortunately, society does not have to be left in the dark on this idea. Faith is at the heart of the biblical narrative. Believe it or not, today might be a good time to consider finding the answers to the faith questions. 

Where do you go in the Bible to find the answers? Proverbs 3:5-6, Matthew 21:22, Hebrews 11, James 2:14-26
