When a lonely young boy name Angus discovers a large, mysterious egg along the shores of Loch Ness, no one is prepared for what lies within. He soon discovers that the strange, mischievous hatchling inside is none other than The Water Horse, the loch's most mysterious and fabled creature! But with the Water Horse growing ten times its size every day. Angus finds it increasingly difficult to keep his new friend a secret.
Two-time Academy Award nominee Emily Watson (1998, Hilary and Jackie; 1996, Breaking the Waves), Alex Etel, Ben Chaplin (The Thin Red Line), David Morrissey (The Reaping) and Brian Cox (Running with Scissors) star in this heart warming tale from director Jay Russell (Tuck Everlasting) and written by Robert Nelson Jacobs (Flushed Away).... |

Goofs: Factual errors: The film depicts the famous picture of the Loch Ness monster as being taken in 1942 by a couple of fishermen. In reality, the picture is known as the "Surgeon's Photo" and was photographed in 1934 and published in the Daily Mail newspaper. It was revealed to be a hoax in 1994 and is supposedly the picture of a toy submarine with a sculpted head fixture. (more) Trivia: Prints were shipped to some theaters under the fake title "Discovery". (more) Filming Locations: Camperdown Studios, Camperdown Road, Miramar, Wellington, New Zealand (more) Awards: 5 nominations (more)
