Amazon.co.uk Review
A crackling good family adventure, Mee-Shee: The Water Giant stars Bruce Greenwood as a New York City oil-company engineer who interrupts a vacation with his young son, Mac (Daniel Magder), to rescue valuable equipment from the bottom of a British Columbia lake. The effort is somewhat complicated by Mee-Shee, a playful and benevolent cousin of the Loch Ness monster but presumed to be fiction by the local community. Mac, however, encounters Mee-Shee (constructed by the late Jim Henson's Creature Shop) and they become friends, but a pair of industrial saboteurs looking for the biggest score of all have other ideas. The nice cast includes Phyllida Law as the prim landlady of a boarding house (she's ever-so-reminiscent of daughter Emma Thompson in Nanny McPhee), Rena Owen as the lone adult who has seen Mee-Shee and regularly feeds it salmon, and Luanne Gordon as an environmental cop. Director John Henderson, who visited this territory once before in the Ted Danson vehicle, Loch Ness, makes a very crisp drama—with real villains and passions—out of material that might have been quite mawkish in someone else's hands. --Tom Keogh
Synopsis
When nine-year-old Mac's father cancels a much-anticipated trip to Disney World, the young boy is more than disappointed. But when invited to accompany his father, who works in the oil industry, to a lake in the wilderness, Mac decides to give it a go. Once there, he meets an amazing water-born creature named Mee-Shee. As the two grow close, it becomes Mac's responsibility to protect his new friend from the evil oil-drillers who want to destroy the only home Mee-Shee has ever known. A real treat for the whole family, this wild adventure features special effects by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
