You'll lose your heart to the hatchling water horse, Crusoe, who instantly bonds with Angus. As the sea creature grows rapidly from friendly little beastie to a large secret the boy tries to conceal, Crusoe helps Angus accept the loss of his father in World War II, and find hope and beauty in life. A heatwarming, stunningly produced film from the Academy Award®-winning team behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy, based on the book by the author of Babe, and starring Alex Etel (Cranford), David Morrissey (Sense and Sensibility, State of Play) and Emily Watson (Miss Potter, Hilary and Jackie, Gosford Park).
