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. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The title of this British children's show had little to do with the mental stability of the lead character. It seems there was this youngster named Harry Holdsworth (Gareth Holdsworth), who, after the death of his uncle, found himself the proud possessor of a talking parrot named Madison. The fun began when the irrepressible Mad shot off his mouth at the most inopportune moments, plunging poor Harry in a heap of trouble. Based on the novel by Dick King-Smith, Harry's Mad was broadcast by Central Television from 1993 to 1996, toting up 36 episodes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
