The twin successes of The Fellowship of the Ring and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in 2001 alerted studios that there was an audience for well-made fantasy films and a number of nicely budgeted films followed. Though fantasy films had been popular in the 80's they had almost disappeared for a while.. The Water Horse was one of the best of these and struck just the right tone between comedy and drama with the creature, named Crusoe by Angus, the boy who is the central character, morphing from adorably cute to almost frightening. Many child-and-creature films before had reduced the danger factor considerably until the films became silly comedies.
Budgeted at a healthy forty million, the film has fine actors, beautiful Scottish settings (and beautiful New Zealand settings standing in for Scottish settings), authentically detailed evocation of the World War II time period and great special effects from Weta Workshop, who did Lord of the Rings, that produced a lifelike creature that always seemed to actually be there. The film was supported by one of noted film score composer Jame Newton Howard's most exciting adventure scores which embraced the Celtic setting and included The Chieftain's along with the usual orchestra.
The result is a family film that all ages can enjoy, even parents and grandparents. The film accomplishes this by working as a character drama of a young boy missing his father who left for the war effort, his mother and sister who know he is dead but are fearful of telling the boy, the arrival of the British Army to protect the local Loch from German submarine intrusion, and possible spies and romantic tension between two men who have an eye for the widowed mother. That's a lot more backstory and context than many other fantasy films aimed at families, which tend to have stock characters and settings. Into all this, which could have made a movie itself with more writing is tossed a creature from Celtic legend, a water horse, a Loch Ness type of sea monster most often totally evil in the original legends, luring people, mostly children, to ride on it's back then drowning them. Here the creature is raised from his birth from an egg the boy Angus finds on the lake shore and so bonds with the boy in a rare friendship. As a hatchling Crusoe is cute, playful and apt to get into trouble-causing antics that provide comedy in the early part of the film. As a magical creature his growth rate is abnormally fast and soon can no longer be hidden in the house (the beautiful Ardkinglas House on the west coast of Scotland).
Alex Etel does a fine job playing Angus, a large role for a young boy to carry. Emily Watson is totally sympathetic as the mother and the supporting cast is believable in their roles. The film is both exciting and heartwarming and can be recommended easily to anyone inclined to like this sort of fantasy film.

Of course, I'd be willing to bet it will become a favorite of everyone in your family, as it is in ours. The only, and I mean ONLY, caveat here is that the Scottish accents may take a wee bit getting used to, but that's hardly a reason to miss out on this, the best family movie I've seen in a long time, one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, period. I won't repeat the basic plot info, as that already appears here on the Amazon page. I would respond, however, to those reviewers who liken this film to "Free Willy" and "E.T.," only to say that this movie is finer than either of those by my estimation. It's far more sophisticated than "Free Willy" and has dimensions of meaning about love, loss and war that "E.T." could never hope to aspire to. The acting is fantastic. Emily Watson will break your heart with her quiet dignity. Alex Etel, who plays the child Angus, gives a more subtle, layered performance than any child actor I can think of in any film. You'll be surprised by the adult male roles here, played by Ben Chaplin and David Morissey; who's the good guy and who's the bad guy? The answer here is not so readily apparent. Most of all, three cheers for the studio artists who brought Crusoe the Water Horse to life, from infancy through adulthood. You won't believe your eyes; he appears as real as any living creature you've ever seen. Finally, there's the script, which is intelligent, funny and deeply moving. No cheap manipulative tactics here, no condescending to young viewers. This film treats its audience with respect. It's a once-in-a-lifetime treasure.

As a big fan of the legend of the Loch Ness Monster, the new film "Water horse" brings the spirit as well as the excitement of the time honored legend to life like never before. Set in the era of World War II, the story takes place in the highlands of Scotland where a lonely young boy named Angus discovers a mysterious egg that turns out to hatch into a spunky and mischievous waterborne dinosaur known as the ancient Water horse named Crusoe. With his beloved father gone at sea fighting the German U-Boats and his mother and older sister not paying any particular attention to him Angus takes the orphaned Crusoe in and raising him as his pet. But Angus quickly realizes very early on that doing so and trying his best to keep the little creature a secret brings with it some rather unusual problems as well as, some comically outrageous misadventures along the way. For example, when baby Crusoe escapes from his water filled bathtub and encounters an aggressive Royal Army bulldog named, "Churchill" who chases him around the house and then eventually ends up wrecking a lavish evening dinner party hosted by the lady of the house and some promptly dressed British soldiers. However, the film is not without its tender moments and adventurous scenes of peril as the cold realities of a bitter war come to prey on the people and the isolated beauty of such a spectacular place.
Inspired by the children's book by Author Dick King Smith, the film's director Jay Russell whose past credits include such films as, "Ladder 49 and Tuck Everlasting" goes to great lengths to bring this wonderfully imaginative story to life. The DVD comes with some impressive behind the scenes documentaries and one of the things that I found most interesting was that Russell actually visited Loch Ness in order to get an idea of where to shoot the film. At first glance he didn't think too much about the famous legend but as he got closer to the water's edge he found himself looking at the pristine water with an opened mind that just maybe there could be something big and mysterious swimming the depths of the Scottish lake. The film and DVD features are definitely worth checking out. If you're a fan of fantasy films or just like a story that let's you're imagination run wild, this movie is for you.

If you’ve read the book you’ll be disappointed it’s completely different from the original book. However, this film is entertaining in its own write. If you’re a teacher it works great with the book to look for differences between book and film.

THE WATER HORSE- Nicht nur für Erwachsene!
Reviewed in Germany on March 29, 2015
" Und wenn ihr die Geschichte hören wollt-
sie beginnt inmitten des zweiten Weltkrieges.
Es gab da mal einen kleinen Jungen namens Angus.
Der kleine Bursche fühlte sich zum Wasser hingezogen-
hatte aber gleichzeitig schreckliche Angst davor......"
Zauberhafte Story, natürlich nach wahren Begebenheiten(-.-)!
Spannend und eindrucksvoll erzählt. In echt.
Ich war mal wieder richtig mittendrin. Von Anfang bis Ende.
" Crusoe" ist voll süss und gar lustig anzusehen, ist wahnsinnig toll animiert.
Und bewegt sich an Land wie eine Robbe. Nicht gerade grazil.:)
Aber " leider " wird er grösser- und auch gefährlicher.
Und das wirft die Frage auf, ob der Streifen anhand der Hetzjagd auf das
WATER HORSE- und nicht zu vergessen auch die Kriegswirren- wirklich für
Kids ab sechs Jahre geeignet ist. Wirklich vertretbar ist.
Da beziehe ich mich unter anderem auf die rührende Anmerkung von Darstellerin
Emily Watson- die ich so durchaus ebenfalls unterschreiben kann:
" Es geht um etwas sehr Wirkliches- nämlich..... wie der kleine Junge hier
Trauer und Verlust bewältigen kann. So wie z. B. bei Peter Pan, wenn man euphorisch
in die Hände klatscht und ausruft...es gibt ihn doch, ja.....!"
Und ich persönlich kann ehrlich keine " schrecklichen " Bilder entdecken.
Es fliesst kein Blut. Und der Drache tötet keinen. Im Gegenteil.............
( da gibt es Zeichentrickfilme, die m. M. überhaupt keine FSK ab 6 haben dürften!)
...und ich denke, der Film enthält eine wichtige Botschaft....die Erwachsenen
sowohl auch kleineren Kindern gar nicht früh genug übermittelt werden kann;
wird man angegriffen, wehrt man sich. Ob Mensch oder Tier. Und sei es nur SCHEINBAR,
um sich Respekt zu verschaffen. Denn der Angriff auf den kleinen Jungen stellt
sich hier doch wohl eher als verzweifelte Angstattacke des eigentlich, nein, definitiv
friedliebenden Geschöpfes dar.
***************************************************************************************
Story:
Der kleine Angus( Alex Etel ) nimmt sich einen Gegenstand, den er am Seeufer
fand und der einem Ei ähnelt, mit nach Hause. Ohne zu ahnen, das sich dies zu
einem turbulenten Abenteuer entwickelt.....................
aus dem eiförmigen Ding ist eine Kreatur geschlüpft- und das stets hungrige
Tierchen verlangt dem Jungen seine ganze Aufmerksamkeit ab.
Sollte es sich tatsächlich um einen Wasserdrachen handeln, - einem Geschöpf,
ein Fabelwesen, das man in Schottland doch nur aus Mythen und Legenden kennt..
.............................??
******************************************************************************************
Mein liebevolles Fazit:
Ab sofort liebe ich diesen Film. Und schliesse ihn ganz, ganz fest ein-
in mein Herz.
MEIN FREUND, DER WASSERDRACHE ist einfach genial. Ob Darsteller, Dialoge,
deutsche Synchro oder die Animation des Seeungeheuers- perfekt, alles.
Ein kleines Dorf in den Highlands von Schottland. Malerisch und geheimnisvoll-
mit seinen herrlich klaren Seen.
" So ein Gezeiten- Tümpel ist ein sehr merkwürdiger, verwunschener Ort! "
*****
UND welche Überraschung: THE WALKING DEAD- Bösewicht David Morrissey( Govenor)
spielt hier wieder eine fiese Rolle. Hammergeil. Toller Mann- und so völlig normal.
Und fast liebenswert......im Bonus. Hielt es nicht für möglich.:-)
KRIEG IST IMMER SCHLECHT. WIR HABEN EIN BEDÜRFNIS NACH MAGIE IN UNSEREM LEBEN.
Ich denke, dieser Film ist wichtig. Und famos.
Die Ritte auf dem Drachen- atemberaubend in Szene gesetzt.
Hatte mehrmals Gänsehaut.
" Du bist ein guter Junge. Stark und entschlossen. "
Lauflänge inkl. Abspann: 107 Minuten!
Five Points. Und ab 6 Jahre. Zu Recht!

- Entfallene Szenen= 6.40 Minuten!( Schade, hätten gut hineingepasst! )
