Editorial Reviews

A lonely young boy vows to protect the rapidly growing hatchling that emerges from a mysterious egg found on the shores of a Scottish loch in My Dog Skip and Tuck Everlasting director Jay Russell's screen adaptation of writer Dick King-Smith's popular children's novel. Angus MacMorrow (Alex Etel) has made a most unusual discovery, and he's about to find out just how one innocent boy's greatest fantasy can also be a frightened adult population's greatest threat. Unable to identify the egg that he found while walking the sandy shores, Angus is even more perplexed about the discovery and the creature that emerges resembles what comes to be known as a Water Horse, which Angus names Crusoe. As the bizarre new life form begins to grow at an alarming rate, it soon becomes obvious that Angus will not be able to keep it a secret for very long, and the young boy will have to do some seriously quick thinking if he is to keep his new friend safe. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Finding out what you're made ofby Anonymous

May 25, 2009: Finding out what you're afraid of and what you can do to overcome this, can sometimes lead to an exciting adventue. Believing in yourself and having hope for the future can sometimes bring out the best in you. Having responsibility for something other than yourself also shows you that you are tougher than you think. This movie is a great example of someone who broadened his world by thinking about something other than himself and the fun it brought him; and the responsibility to keep it safe.

I Also Recommend: Tea Time for the Traditionally Built (The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series #10).

my son adores this movieby Anonymous

February 16, 2009: My son, who has Down Syndrome, rarely enjoys movies that aren't animated. But he loves this movie and asks that we watch it constantly. He asks questions thru'out. He never does that during animated movies so even tho' that gets just a bit old, I adore that he does this. Probably the longest conversations we have! I like the movie too mainly because the actors are top-notch and the water horse looks realistic.

What Parents Need to Know

About TheWater Horse: Legend of the Deep

Parents need to know that this adaptation of the popular book by Babe author Dick King-Smith has a very different plotline than the original story, escalating the violence within the WWII-era setting. The monster becomes truly dangerous when fully grown (in an old-school King Kong way), lashing out at people with snapping jaws -- which leads the British soldiers to open fire on it. But it's still a kid-friendly film overall.

Families Can Talk About

Families can talk about the Loch Ness Monster. Do you think it could be real? Why or why not? How might a story like this have gotten started? Can you think of other movies in which a child forms a secret attachment with an unusual pet or unearthly friend? How is this movie similar to and different from them? Families who've read the book the movie is based on can compare the two -- which do you like better, and why?
