Walt Disney Productions' 1977 musical film Pete's Dragon starring Helen Reddy and Mickey Rooney takes place in the fictional town of "Passamaquoddy". The film does not state whether the fictional town is situated on the Maine side or the New Brunswick side. Fictional elements such as the Boathouse suggest the Canadian side, while descriptions of shoreline caves suggest the American side. For several years after the film was released, both Maine and New Brunswick tourist trades featured short tours of purported locations. As the years wore on, many barely related locales made their way onto the tours.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
