Set in the 1940s, a boy named Angus MacMorrow discovers an egg at the seashore and decides to take it home. To his surprise this egg hatches into a sea monster he names Crusoe. It grows, until finally it is too big to live anywhere else but in nearby Loch Ness. Walden Media, in collaboration with Beacon Pictures and Revolution Studios produced the film. Visual effects, which included the computer-generated imagery of the monster (named " Crusoe" by Etel's character) were completed by the New Zealand-based companies Weta Digital and Weta Workshop- visual effects companies who worked with Walden Media before on the productions of The Chronicles of Narnia films. The Water Horse was released in the United States on December 25, 2007 and will be released in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2008.
