"Mispresention of a DVD"
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.

"The Water Horse DVD"
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."
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.

"Watery and weak"
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).

"Water Horse"
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.

What our customer's say!

"Excellent and sweet movie.", This movie is very refreshing with its focus on the friendship between a young boy and his newly discovered pet, none other than a waterhorse of Celtic lore. The tenderness between the two is touching and people of all ages will enjoy it. The movie is very well done. And appropriate for all ages.

"The Waterhorse", Received DVD in a timely manner. There was only one spot on it that froze but I'm hoping after I clean it that will be resolved.

Thank you so much.

Regards,
Michelle

"LOVE OF A BIG PET", THIS MOVIE TOUCHED ME...FOR I LOVE ANIMALS UMMM( NOT THE CREEPY ONES). BUT THIS MOVIE WAS VERY TOUCHING AND ENJOYABLE.

"Charming and more inspirational than I expected", I have always been mildly interested in the Loch Ness monster-it makes for a good story, as this movie proves as an old man relates to young tourists the "truth" of the creature in the lake and transports back to WWII and a family who had lost their father and husband to battle.

It's a classic scenario: lonely boy raises animal. Usually it's a dog or a deer, but hey, what's wrong with a mythological creature? While this is not quite "Babe" level, it is still reminiscent of that same innocence and charm. Crusoe, as the creature is called, is the cutest little monster to grace the screen in some time. The kids are cute and hold their own in the child acting. I enjoyed the romantic tension between the adults, and I appreciated the contrast of the innocent magic and the terrible reality of the war.

I also found it well-shot. Not Oscar-worthy, but there is something captivating about a swim through the Scottish lake This is a great little family film that has a bit of something for everyone.

"Pleasant enough", WATER HORSE is a pleasant enough, beautifully filmed family story, although the music and scenery can be a bit frightening for younger children. The story is fairly formulaic for adults, but our children really enjoyed it--especially the interaction between the dog and the sea horse.

It is nice that it is not full of sexual innuendo, crass "humor" related to bodily functions, and injuries to the "personal" areas of the anatomy. Most "family" films are anything but family friendly, so WATER HORSE is a nice exception.

From a conservative Christian standpoint, be warned that the children hide the sea horse and deceive their mother--without negative consequences. A parent will want to direct the thinking of younger children in this area, but the kids otherwise exhibit respect for adults and as the protagonists, present a generally wholesome appearance and attitude.

"Family film that's a splash hit", This delightful tale of a lonely boy who rears and befriends a mythical beast hits many of the right buttons as far as family-friendly fare goes. Set in the Scottish Highlands, predominantly in the Second World War (a drama-heightening but not overwhelming backdrop), The Water Horse is an unusual but affecting film about friendship - funny, poignant and uplifting. There are a few inauthentic Scottish accents, but there's so much to commend it: beautiful scenery, a satisfying framework, fantastic effects, confident storytelling and an unpatronising tone that doesn't tie up all the loose ends in the way that, say, a Disney film would. Terrific.

"I liked it better the first time...", This movie was just okay the first time I watched it, when it was called Free Willy. It might be really fun for kids 10 and younger, but the rest of the gang will be bored quickly. If you'd like a good clean movie for the kids to watch then this is a good one. Otherwise, pass...

"Magical! A Must For Your Collection.....", Highly recommended! This is a sweet, lovely, endearing film with a
fine cast of actors and outstanding special effects. The magical
water horse, Crusoe, will tickle your funny bone and warm your heart.
The scenes involving the dog and the water horse are priceless; the
ending will make your spirit soar. Children as well as adults who
remain young at heart will adore this movie. A must for your fantasy
dvd collection!

"Great family film in the tradition of Free Willy and E.T.", 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", 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.
