At what age do you officially become an old person?

Blending monster thrills with a thoughtful pacifist message, this adaptation of Dick King-Smith's well-loved book tells of the friendship between Angus and the legendary creature Nessie, who he rears from an egg into a full-blown beastie. Although mainly shot in New Zealand to facilitate the involvement of the Weta Digital special-effects house, the film is firmly set in WWII-era Scotland. An old-school alternative to the frantic nature of most children's films, 'Water Horse' finally provides our beloved monster with the film it deserves.
