Even to this very day the entirety of Pete's Dragon has never been released for home video. When it first premiered in theaters it ran at 134 minutes and received many different cuts as it was re-shown over the years, one version even removing Candle on the Water. The High Flying Edition DVD is the closest Disney's gotten to releasing the whole moving with it clocking in at 129 minutes. There's been many inquiries about it on the internet, but no one can say for certain just what the five minutes of cut footage entails.
Chances are, it's not too big of a deal. 134 minutes is quite long and a few snips of scenes here and there gradually add up. One person claims that the Gogans spoke a little at the beginning before bursting into song, but that's the most information I've been able to gather. I tried to watch for any obvious jumps in the film (which is hard because old films tend to be jerky anyway) and personally I THINK there was a cut in Every Little Piece and the I Swear I Saw a Dragon bar scene.
