Summary: Water Horse
Comment: I have watched this with my 8 year old son and we both thought it was a great little film! Great
family viewing, no violence, bad language, awkward sexy moments or anything like that. Just a
lovely, believe it if you like, fairy tale. Great acting too from the lead young character!
Recommended for children big and small!

Summary: One of the best films of 2008
Comment: It's such a shame that this film didn't receive the recognition and media attention it deserves.
It's a film that caters for all ages, at the same time amusing, heart-lifting and sombre. The
special effects are absolutely fantastic, and that's saying something given all the special effects
floating around the film industry nowadays. Crusoe the Water Horse looks more life-like than any
other CGI creature I've seen on screen. This is a film with great re-watchability, and I recommend
it to all.

Summary: Perfect for kids, parents and big softies!
Comment: The Water Horse is based in Scotland, and more specifically, the area around Loch Ness. One day,
lonely little boy Angus is searching for shells and things by the shore of the Loch, when he
discovers what looks like a big egg-shaped rock. On closer investigation, he finds it is in fact an
egg. Called away suddenly, he leaves the egg in his father's workshop, and races off. The next time
he comes back, he discovers the egg has hatched. On hunting high and low for what came out of the
egg, Angus is confronted by a strange little creature. They quickly become friends. But as the
creature grows enormously each time it eats, Angus finds it very difficult to keep his not-so-little
friend a secret. Soon other people are enlisted to help keep Angus' secret and protect the
well-being of the creature, which they've now identified as what they believed was a fictional
creature. However, as the water horse, Crusoe, grows and grows... so does the amount of trouble he
causes!

I don't want to say too much because I'll give the game away, but this is a
lovely film. I haven't read the book, but it's now on my hit list. It's a very touching story about
a lonely little boy refusing to acknowledge his father has been killed in military service during
World War II, and he throws himself into other pursuits to forget his loss. He's a sad little boy
missing his daddy. His friendship with Crusoe is the perfect distraction, and the interaction
between the two brought a tear to my eye more than once.

Overall, this is a fantastic,
and somewhat underappreciated film. It didn't make much of a splash (pardon the pun) at cinemas from
what I gather, but I think it may do better on DVD as word gets out. This is a perfect family film,
as parents will love it as much as kids, and also you'll love it if you're a big softie like me!!
Excellent!

Summary: Absolutely magical!
Comment: I saw this wonderful movie at the cinema and loved it - I will definitely be grabbing a copy when it
comes out on dvd. Set in the time of WW2 it's the tale of a young boy who finds an egg which hatches
into a strange little beast known as a water horse - the boy then has to find ways to hide the
endearing and curious creature from not only his family but the army who are using their house as a
temporary base. The relationship between the boy and his rapidly growing nautical friend is heart
warming, and the uncertainty of the beast's future will have you biting your nails. The waterhorse
is so realistically animated you do forget that he's not real. And the climax of the film almost had
me in tears. This is perfect family viewing that can be watched again and again, I would highly
recommend it to both adults and children - a really lovely tale of friendship between man and beast
that you can become completely absorbed in.
