Orphan boy Pete has only his giant cartoon dragon friend Elliott who can make himself invisible. He runs away from his foster hillbilly family Gogans who claims to own him. He arrives in the coastal town of Passamaquoddy, Maine. Elliott appears to drunken Lampie (Mickey Rooney). Nobody believes him including his daughter Nora who lives with him in the lighthouse. Nora takes in Pete while Elliott stays in the local caves. Dr. Terminus and his sidekick Hoagy (Red Buttons) come to town peddling their quark cures.
There is a charm in 70's kiddie Disney which isn't really classic Disney. They often feel old fashion and childish. There may not be anything groundbreaking but it has an innocence about them like they're too naive to renew the genre. There are no great songs in this but it's nice music. I really love invisible Elliott wrecking havoc on the town. It's all very nice but strictly for a kiddie audience.
