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. [More]

Reviews for Mee-Shee: The Water Giant
In this padded out family movie, even the scenes above the lake's surface feel a bit wet.
Essentially the Loch Ness story set in the wilds of Canada (but filmed in New Zealand), this is an enjoyable story about a boy on an adventure with his dad. It's nothing terribly original, but it's decently well-made.
