Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary - MS-5 Pete's Dragon Elliott: The Gentle Green Giant Takes the Parade in From Silver Screen To Main Street!
Hello, You Beautiful Collectors! Elliott Has Entered the Parade - and the Checklist!
Every once in a while, a card comes along that makes you stop mid-scroll, press it to your heart, and whisper "where have you been all my life?" That is exactly what happened when I first laid eyes on the Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary MS-5 Pete's Dragon Elliott from the From Silver Screen To Main Street insert set. This glorious card captures Elliott - the loveable, bumbling, big-hearted green dragon from the 1977 Disney classic Pete's Dragon - in all his parade glory, and I am completely obsessed.
If you know me, you know I have a soft spot for the underdog characters - the ones who might not top every collector popularity poll, but whose card hits differently when you finally pull it. Elliott is that character. He is warm, goofy, invisible when he needs to be, and utterly impossible not to love. And seeing him celebrated here in the context of Disneyland's legendary parades? It feels like a long-overdue spotlight moment for one of Disney's most iconic and under-appreciated friends. 💖

MS-5 Pete's Dragon Elliott - The Card That Stopped Me in My Tracks
Now, back to our glowing green hero. MS-5 Pete's Dragon Elliott is tied specifically to the Main Street Electrical Parade, which is one of the most nostalgic parade experiences in all of Disneyland history. The Electrical Parade has returned multiple times over the decades, and every single time it rolls down Main Street with its beloved "Baroque Hoedown" soundtrack twinkling through the night air, the crowd goes absolutely wild. I have stood on that curb more times than I can count, and every time, something about it makes me feel like I am six years old again watching magic happen in real life.
Elliott appearing in that parade was always one of those extra-special float moments. A giant, loveable, luminous dragon gliding past the crowd - it was the kind of visual that sticks with you forever. The card captures the essence of that whimsy beautifully, celebrating the moment where cinema and the park merged into pure joy on Main Street.
Some cards do not just sit in your binder - they bring back the sound of a parade, the smell of popcorn in the evening air, and the feeling that the magic never really ended.
Collector Notes - Where MS-5 Fits in Your Collection
As an insert card within the Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary release, MS-5 sits firmly in themed subset territory - a beautifully crafted, park-specific chase that goes beyond the base set. The From Silver Screen To Main Street set is exactly the kind of insert that park fans, set builders, and character collectors all want at the same time. Park fans get the parade nostalgia, set builders need all 25 to complete the run, and Pete's Dragon enthusiasts finally have a dedicated Elliott card to anchor their collection.
The full 2025 Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary set also features a gorgeous parade of parallels - from Rainbow Foil and Pink Shimmer Foil through to the numbered tiers like Gold Foil /50, Black Foil /10, Red Foil /5, and the ultra-rare Foilfractor 1/1. If you are chasing a rainbow of MS-5, you have a beautiful but challenging road ahead - and honestly, I am here for every step of it.
How to Display and Protect This Card
For an insert card this meaningful, you want protection that matches the occasion. I keep inserts like this double-sleeved in an Ultra Pro PRO-Matte Eclipse Card Sleeve as the inner layer - soft, lint-free, and the perfect first line of defense. Then I drop it into an Ultra Pro UV One-Touch Magnetic Card Holder (35pt), which keeps the card safe while still letting me show it off in the display case without any fuss. The magnetic closure is so satisfying, and that UV protection matters when you want your colors to stay as vibrant as Elliott's scales for years to come.
And yes - once I get my copy of MS-5 marked off in the Collectiblz app, it is going straight to "Have" with a little happy dance from me. If you are tracking your From Silver Screen To Main Street set completion, Collectiblz makes it so easy to see exactly which parade legends you still need to hunt down.
Whether you grew up watching Pete's Dragon and dreaming of your own invisible dragon best friend, or you are a parade devotee who remembers every float from memory, MS-5 Elliott is a card that carries real heart. Do not sleep on this one, friends. The parade only comes around so often, and this card is your permanent front-row seat.
Happy collecting, and may every pack bring you something magical! 🎴🏰
