beautiful
i was so happy to see this film. It was a poignant and breathtaking tale of a mythical creature - the water horse ' Caruso' and his secret friendship with Angus, the boy who discovered Caruso and brought him up from an egg. This lovely tale is set during the second world war and is even more emotional because of the sideline events which are also happening. A guaranteed heart churner, this is a lovely film for everyone.

An absolutely beautiful film - Highly reccomended
This is such a wonderful and moving film. It brought a tear to my eye. I actually had never heard of it before but upon reading the storyline and looking at reviews I thought that it sounded like a film that I would enjoy. I am amazed that this film is not more widely known about.

Great family viewing and a thoroughly enjoyable film even if you haven't got any kids (like me!)

Truely magical.

I can't reccomend it highly enough.



Wonderful Entertainment
A very good movie, its about The Water Horse (The Loch Ness Monster ?) who grows from been very tiny to a huge animal in a very short space of time. Beautifully shot with excellent locations and settings, gives the impression of Scotland during World War II.
Very good looking creature, looks very life like.
Very entertaining for all the family which the kids will love.

Water Horse
I have watched this with my 8 year old son and we both thought it was a great little film! Great family viewing, no violence, bad language, awkward sexy moments or anything like that. Just a lovely, believe it if you like, fairy tale. Great acting too from the lead young character! Recommended for children big and small!

One of the best films of 2008
It's such a shame that this film didn't receive the recognition and media attention it deserves. It's a film that caters for all ages, at the same time amusing, heart-lifting and sombre. The special effects are absolutely fantastic, and that's saying something given all the special effects floating around the film industry nowadays. Crusoe the Water Horse looks more life-like than any other CGI creature I've seen on screen. This is a film with great re-watchability, and I recommend it to all.
