Pete's Dragon (1977) has always been al "also ran" on home video. It's never looked decent. My earliest memories of it are of the laserdisc release, which seemed to run virtually non-stop when my son was of that age.
Even the most recent DVD was well...
not pretty.
Finally, Disney's 35th Anniversary Edition (Sean Marshall, who played young Pete, is now 47!) makes amends for all past transgressions.
This Blu-ray is beautiful!
Highly resolved, great color, shadow detail, even decent grain.
For those unaware, Pete's Dragon, which seems to have been looked upon as second tier Disney, is a delightful musical comedy, probably best for kids 5 - 10, but not only not painful, but a delight for adults.

Audio - 5 (DTS-HD MA)
Highly Recommended.
