We are honest, brave, vibrant and a little bit. The Dragons are a team that have experienced the aftermath first-hand and worked together to ensure that all those impacted by suicide in Devon and North Somerset have access to timely and appropriate support. It's a gentle film that pauses to admire the natural world - there are the sweeping aerial shots of stunning countryside to keep Tourism New Zealand happy but, more than that, it's also happy to linger on beautifully lit trees, sunsets and owls. Petes Dragons has a passion for making sure those impacted by suicide are supported. Pete's Dragon was shot in New Zealand and, though this may sound parochial, the setting of this film makes an important contribution. He gets a spring in his step when it comes to busting out a rescue mission - made necessary by the film's semi-baddie, a timber yard owner, played by local legend Karl Urban. Howard is compassionate as Grace, and Robert Redford as warm as you'd expect playing a local artist who entertains kids with dragon stories. The rest of the story involves the two best friends trying to find each other - Elliot possibly needing Pete more than Pete needs Elliot. Their friendship is tested when Pete is "rescued" by young girl Natalie (Oona Laurence), and her stepmother to-be Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who take Pete in while police try to identify him.
