If you loved Pete's Dragon, try Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Adventure / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pete's Dragon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is
Summer camp, a trident in the water. A teenager struggles in school, his mom hides the truth, mythological gods are real. Chris Columbus directs a family friendly adaptation.
