 Mispresention of a DVD August 20, 2008
I ordered the special 2 disc edition and they sent me the one disc regular version and I emailed numerous times and this seller ignored my emails. Very unhappy.

Wonderful family entertainment. Kept the kids (and adults) riveted to the screen! Especially enjoyed the
Extra Features on second disc.
 Cute, Life-like special effects + Lack of touching moment = Worth renting. July 31, 2008
The special effects of this movie are worth 5 stars. The water horse looks so real and cute that I want to touch it. The problem is there is no touching moment compared to other kids' films. "The two brothers" is more heart-wrenching and as beautiful as this one. I don't know why. Is it because of the directing or acting? The plot is typical of any family movie.
It's worth renting.

I didn't feel that Crusoe (the waterhorse) was the main character of this movie. He felt very incidental through a lot of it. Like he was there just to play a bit part so the real main characters could have epiphanies. Which is sad, because he and Churchill (the dog) had more personality than most of the human cast!
I will say that this movie was far sadder and more depressing than I would have imagined. Those looking for feel-good Disney fluff should turn away now. There's not a whole lot of happy in this movie. It has a very dark, depressing feel to it despite some of the more lighthearted moments (mostly starring Crusoe and Churchill). The ending was oh so predictable, leaving me with a 'why did I bother' sort of feeling. In fact, the movie as a whole left me flat. The only highlight is that Crusoe really was adorable as a young creature (not so much when he grew up).

This is a fabulous venture into fantasy. The Water Horse is a great example of the depths of love a child has for any creature, even one that is most unusual. It is good viewing for the whole family.
