dragon movie?

Question

there was a movie that came out a really long time ago about a little boy who played the bagpipes and as a child found a little dragon and as the boy grew the dragon grew. thats all i remember. does anyone know the name of the movie?

Answer 1

I don't think there were bagpipes in Pete's Dragon. I think the movie you're looking for is called Dragon World.

Dragon World - 1994 - Set in Scotland, the film is about a young American orphan who inherits a castle. In one scene, the little boy's grandfather is piping by the grave of his wife, playing The Dragon's Lullaby (possibly written for the movie --- certainly not a standard). He's shown on a set of Great Highland Bagpipes, but the sound is a duet of Uilleann pipes and pennywhistle. He tells the little kid (maybe six years old) about how the pipes are important to the lifestyle there at the old family castle, then hands the kid a miniature set of pipes, and says, "Here! You trrry!" (it is Scotland). The kid starts playing a flawless rendition of the dragon tune just like he was born to pipe, except that once again we hear the Uilleann pipes overlaid with a pennywhistle. This magical music does indeed call forth a baby dragon from the edges of time, or somewhere, and the kid then chases him down in the woods and "keeps" the dragon. The two grow up together, and live happily until some bonehead documentary director making a film about castles spots the dragon, tells some nasty industrialist, capitalistic nazi about it, and he tricks the kid into renting him the dragon for a theme park. Really stupid. There is a great looking girl as the love interest though, and they wind up all living happily ever after, except for the industrialist. The part of the piper is played by Andrew Kier.
