I believe this movie would be far more alluring and convincing if it was animation .Now

ran short of involving the adult into this illusion of reality.
Grace is a forest keeper who says she knows every corner in this forest could not ctch a sight of achild who has been living thre for years .On the other side pete himself is not
aggressive to human friendly and sociable which means he might have grown curious

Eliot the dragon seems mos of the time as sloppy and idiotic he doesnt capture or hearts with his beauty dignity and courage{ except the final scene}
The is why I believe the story would have a better chane of success if it has been made into an animation movies.
