THERE’S ROOM FOR EVERYONE, EVEN EI.LIO IT—
Elliott the dragon poses his friends Helen Reddy and
Sean Marshall as he gets ready to give them a lift between
takes of Walt Disney Productions’ “Pete’s Dragon,” a
musical fantasy combining live action and animation about
a young orphan and his adventures with his occasionally
visible friend, Elliott. In color by Technicolor, the Buena
Vista release also stars Jim Dale, Mickey Rooney, Red
Buttons and Shelley Winters. Don Chaffey directed for
producers Ron Miller and Jerome Courtland.
Star Dragon Is Shy
Dragon footprints lined
the driveway entrance to
Walt Disney Studio in
Burbank, California, last
summer on the first day of
production on “Pete’s
Dragon,” the $lO million
musical fantasy combining
live action and animation
which was released at
Christmastime.
The dragon, Elliott,
apparently chose not to
enter visibly but wanted to
let the studio know he was
there bright and early for
his movie debut, starring
with Helen Reddy, Jim
Dale, Mickey Rooney, Red
Buttons, Shelley Winters
and his little pal Sean
Marshall.
The footprints were just
the first of occurrences that 1
led detractors to question
their former beliefs about
the existence of dragons.
Even in the script for the
film, it is an unbelieving
New England town that
blames a 9-year-old
runaway orphan for
knocking down a fence and
scaring the fish away from
filing.jboats;.ra9t«- ;th*n

believe he has an oc
casionally visible dragon
friend. But unpredictable
Elliott, scamp that he is,
won’t appear to just
anyone to prove his
existence.
So it was with visitors to
the set, reporters in
terviewing the film’s other
stars, photographers ready
to snap America’s ver
sion of an amenable Loch
Ness monster.
But Elliott was there. His
name was on the chall sheet,
telling him to be on the set at
7 A.M. his trailer had a sign
outside that said “Elliott”
the same as other stars had
trailers with their names on
them. He even had stand
ins, the sure sign of a real
actor.
Don Chaffey, director saw
him. He had Elliott present
when he auditioned boys for
the role, of Pete, the
runaway orphan. When Sean
Marshall entered the room
and Chaffey introduced
them, the director said,
“Sean stay ted talking te
him# immediately. * ’
