The Water Horse - Legend of the Deep premieres on DVD today.  The movie’s based on the novel by Dick King-Smith. It tells the story of a boy who finds an egg, and raises a water creature, which eventually becomes the legendary Loch Ness Monster.  It’s an enchanting story for both children and adults.

Watch as the water horse grows from a cute little hatchling, to the giant water horse of the deep. The antics, and trouble he gets into in between are a fun refreshing change to some of the other children’s movies out there today.
