A lonely young boy
vows to protect the rapidly growing hatchling that emerges from a mysterious
egg found on the shores of a Scottish loch in My Dog Skip and Tuck Everlasting
director Jay Russell's screen adaptation of writer Dick King-Smith's popular
children's novel. Angus MacMorrow (Alex Etel) has made a most unusual discovery,
and he's about to find out just how one innocent boy's greatest fantasy
can also be a frightened adult population's greatest threat. Unable to
identify the egg that he found while walking the sandy shores, Angus is
even more perplexed about the discovery and the creature that emerges resembles
what comes to be known as a Water Horse, which Angus names Crusoe. As the
bizarre new life form begins to grow at an alarming rate, it soon becomes
obvious that Angus will not be able to keep it a secret for very long,
and the young boy will have to do some seriously quick thinking if he is
to keep his new friend safe
