Summary: I liked it better the first time...
Comment: 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...

Summary: Magical! A Must For Your Collection.....
Comment: 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!

Summary: Great family film in the tradition of Free Willy and E.T.
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Simply delightful
Comment: 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.

Summary: I want a Water Horse!
Comment: 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 ...
