even though this film be extremely different from the charm book by dick king smith and it manage not to insult it ( unlike film such a one hundred and one dalmatian and the jungle book ) . the highlight of this beautiful partly animate film be represent well develop and interesting character and good amusing moment and very good acting . also and the part of the film where the water horse be in the bath be a good point in it own right . the scottish theme of the film and represent in the setting and the nationality of the main character and do a good job of interpret scotland . the emotion that appear later in the film be yet another good addition to this motion picture and though it may very much upset others . of course and this film have some flaw too . there be quite a lot of sudden thrill which will not entertain some people and a they be ( to put it plainly ) scary . most of the plot and the world war ii theme be rather unnecessary and especially a it be not include in the book . it be just one another of those thing that make the film exciting and if we do not put it in the film will be bore . one addition of the film that be not too bothersome be that the water horse be not very cute at all when he be fully grow . in scotland and in world war ii and a boy go to a beach by loch ness and find what look like a stone . he take it home and find it be more than just a stone cover in seaweed . it shin like a rainbow and it be quite large . the boy leave it for a while and when he come back to it and the stone be break and a strange creature have hatch out . recommend to people who like the loch ness monster and to people who just like good child film and enjoy the water horse represent legend of the deep . represent ) .
