Great family film in the tradition of Free Willy and E.T. June 24, 2008
This is a really good family film. Reminds me a little bit of Free Willy, E.T., and a few other movies rolled up into one. When a young boy finds and egg and raises what hatches from within the egg, all kinds of adventure soon follows leading to the legend of the Loch Ness monster.
Simply delightful June 23, 2008
THE WATER HORSE happily does not pretend to be anything more than it is. A delightful little fantasy story, with a simple emotional line. It does have the novelty of bending the usual "boy and his dog" type story into a "boy and his sea monster" story. The production keeps things just realistic enough that it has a bit more realism and teeth than the classic Disney family type fare it can be compared to. The effects work for the Water Horse are quite good, and the creature is cute as a hatchling.
I'd missed seeing this in the theater, and some of the sequences, particularly when the Water Horse is grown must have been very striking on the big screen. But they hold up well on a TV screen in the widescreen format, so I won't complain.
I expect to enjoy watching this again, since it does have a nice level of emotional catharsis. I like that it's about joy found in unexpected ways and places.

That's what you'll think everytime the little (then BIG) Dickens is on the screen. When he is not the focus of the story it drifts off into stupidity and BOREDOM. The whole house occupation (in SCOTLAND?) is just so stupid. Maybe if you skip chapters ...

A wonderful family drama. It's mostly drama and storytelling. There is little action but it is still a good movie. I like that it is a safe movie for the whole family to enjoy TOGETHER.
