"Kidnapping plays a really huge part in the film, and does the idea of said kidnappers are his abusive adopted parents.
Also, the teacher in the film, is pretty mean as well.
But, aren't they always?"
"Yet another movie I grew up with. I always wanted to cry at the end when Elliot tells Pete that he has to leave him *sniff sniff*. Great movie for kids and I will be passing this one along to my future children."

"Hoagie,
Henchman of Dr. Terminus
He's a quite smart person, helping Dr. Terminus in many ways and both are very close. He's an assistant and a friend in a way. Also he's terrified of Eliott which is totally human but nevertheless he confronts the dragon. Very likeable fellow."
