the water horse take place during the turbulent time of world war ii in scotland . young angus and who be afraid of water and find an egg on the shore and take it home . it hatch into a creature that he never see before and but a a doting father he take in the creature a his own and call it crusoe after robinson crusoe . crusoe grow exponentially and at a short rate and so angus move crusoe to the lock . meanwhile and a military platoon have take refuge at his house and and they think that the german will send submarine into the lock and so they protect it with a large net . a crusoe grows and it become hard and hard to not notice and and soon the military think he a threat and and angus try to prevent them from kill him . it take me awhile to see this movie and because i think it would have be stupid and but i be pleasantly surprise about how well everything come together . my only problem be with the child actor who play angus and because he never pronounce crusoe name right ( it would sound like crutoe and cretos and cristos and etc . ) and and when he would yell it be almost ear shattering and but other than that and the water horse be an excellent family film .
