Storyline
In New England in the early 20th century, Pete is a nine-year-old orphan escaping from his brutal adoptive parents, the Gogans, with his only friend, a cartoon dragon named Elliott. Pete and Elliott successfully escape to Passamaquoddy, Maine, and live with Nora, a lighthouse keeper, and her father, Lampie. Elliott is sought for medicinal purposes by the corrupt Doctor Terminus. Written by Matthew Anscher <ansch002@acpub.duke.edu>

Continuity: Every time someone enters Elliot's cave, you see the same scene of waves in the background with the same color sky. Even when Nora looks out from the lighthouse it looks black, but then from Elliot's cave which is just down the beach, it's light blue. See more »Quotes
