The Water Horse - Legend of the Deep

Synopsis: Angus, a young Scottish boy, finds an enchanted egg. Taking it home, he soon finds himself face-to-face with an amazing creature: the mythical "water horse" of Scottish lore. Angus begins a journey of discovery, facing his greatest fears and risking his life to protect a secret that would give birth to a legend.

Review: I know that the Water Horse is a story derived from the legend of the Loch Ness monster. A monster spotted in Loch Ness, Scotland sometime during the war in the 1930's. Many claimed that this "monster" was real but as years went by, it has merely became a legend.


This was the most popular photo taken of the believed monster sometime in 1934. Many said it was fake and some believed that it was real and that the monster existed.

Because of the legend, a fictional story of the Loch Ness monster has been created and that was what I watched together with Dhawell I think last Wednesday.

In the movie, amidst the war happening between Scotland and the Nazis of Germany, a kid named Angus found comfort and friendship with this legendary monster called the Water Horse. It was beleved that the Water Horse only lays an egg when it gets old and before the egg hatches, the parent dies living the newborn Water Horse as an orphan.

It was only a legend thought but Angus, her sister and the house's handyman believed that it esxisted as they took care of it.

It was such a cute childish movie but since Dhawell and I loved fantasy movies like this one, we well appreciated the story of love and trust between humans and monsters.

Plus, in the movie, the picture I posted above was made to be fake as a journalist tried hard to capture a photo of the monster and because he failed, he made a fake dummy of the Water Horse and took a shot of it on the sea, resulting to that photo which has already been known around the world.
