The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep
Reviews & comments
We loved this movie!
I took my 2 year old and my ten year old to see this movie and we all loved it. My two year old loved it so much we went back and saw it a second time in the theaters and now we own it. Yes the story may get darker and more dramatic at parts, but so do many other family movies like harry potter or chronicles of narnia. Even ET had a darker side and had you...
Water Horse Wows Our Four Year Old Granddaughter
There were many adults at the showing we attended and it seemed that the magic of this movie enchanted us all.

LA Weekly
pressPersonally, I wouldn’t take a toddler (unless he was the son of Tarantino) to this intermittently, legitimately terrifying tale of a boy and his Loch Ness monster. But everyone else should blow off 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' and show up for the best kiddie picture of the season -- and, along with 'Ratatouille', of the year.
