I don't care who scored what but it's one of the best of the year imho! Good and hummable themes, beautiful and rich orchestrations and emotional without being sentimental (with a bit of a Horner-vibe). My oldest daughter and I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. Why this wasn't more succesful and people prefer all this Marvelstuff is beyond me.

I passed on the movie and the score - and that was a HUGE mistake.
Hart´s score is beautiful and gripping, definitely on my top 10 list this year.

I just got round to watching this 2016 version of Pete's Dragon on Disney+, while waiting for my subscription to expire. I found the film enjoyable, and certainly better than the musical 1977 film, which I tried to watch afterwards and just couldn't stomach the way it was made. I'm so not a fan of musicals.
Anyhoo, I looked up and downloaded the score same day and I have to say, Daniel Hart's score stands out, the songs not so much so. But overall, a wonderful listen.
I like the film quite a lot, Redford in his comfortable old leathery actor mode, and the story is sweet and nice, and there is almost no technology of any kind in the film. The score is a light and sweet thing, nice.

As I already mentioned I adore this film and score. It was really brave of Disney (or the Director) not to make it into a musical. Though it probably would've done better as a musical, because people apparently need pop songs in their family films. It's criminal when bloated tent-pole summer franchise films get high praise, while this film was ridiculously maligned.

I agree, people wonder why they don't make films 'like the used to', well, because those films are not supported at the box office. And the failure of the film commercially is used as an excuse to say that the film is bad, and we should not make that kind of film again, it is a vicious cycle.

Agreed.
BTW, based off of a deleted scene the film takes place in 1981.
I too like the lack of technology in the film.
