Review by ༘ ade ༘ ★★★★ 8

I remember watching this when I was so young. And I wanted to ride on Loch Ness' back so bad. Yeehaw 🏇
I'll never get rid of this movie. Crusoe is the cutest thing on the frickin planet. Where do I can find this creature? Do they sell it on eBay? Notice me if y'all know!
N.p. : I cried a lot at the end 😔
Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★★

I very much enjoy films that explore legendary creatures! Pure fantasy that takes you to a place where magical and wondrous creatures still exist! I try to indulge my inner child whenever I can so this was a real treat!
The baby Water Horse was just so darn cute! Positively enchanting! A lighthearted film the whole family can sit down together and watch!

I remember watching the trailer for this so much when I was younger, so watching it now feels oddly nostalgic

First Watch
If you need a mystical film for you and your little sibling on a Sunday morning, this is a good fit.
The legend of Loch Ness depicted in a family/war story, which is just fine for an easy watch.
Never knew that there were bigger legends about water horses in Scotland.
This and of course William Wallace made me plan a trip to see Scotland and its legendary sites, that I have yet to do. But one day I will go and discover all of this on my own!
