SYNOPSIS __________

Plot:
The Academy Award®-winning producer and special-effects team behind The Lord of the Rings join with Revolution Studios, Walden Media (The Chronicles of Narnia) and Beacon Pictures to bring to this magical motion picture to the screen.

The story of "The Water Horse" begins when a young boy named Angus MacMorrow takes home a mysterious object he finds on the beach. He soon realizes that it is a magical egg, and finds himself raising an amazing creature: a mythical "water horse". As he and his friend, whom he names Crusoe, form a bond of friendship, Angus begins a journey of discovery, protecting a secret that gives birth to a legend.

The special effects for the film were created by Weta Digital and Weta Workshop, the special and visual effects wizards behind "The Lord of Rings" and "King Kong". Walden Media previously worked with Weta Workshop to develop the fantastical creatures in "The Chronicles of Narnia".
