It should definitely be given full marks. It is an absolutely healing film, which makes people nostalgic for childhood and friendship.

When I went shopping these days, a cute little gray monster caught my eye on the promotion LCD TV. The little monster has a strange alien-like head, no hair on its body, but four things that look like feet but are not feet. The little monster is full of adventures in the little boy's house, and is chased by a big fat dog. And the moment the little monster that grew up suddenly appeared in the sea, the fat dog was already frightened.

I searched for this movie on the Internet today, but I couldn't find it for more than half an hour because I was looking for it with the keyword of dragon. Finally, the movie "A little boy picked up a little monster" was played, and I found it all at once. Only then did I know that this little monster turned out to be the Loch Ness monster, called the water horse in the film.

The little boy was called Angus, and the water horse was called Cruos, which Angus found on the beach. He took it home, sent it back to the lake, and finally let it swim back to the sea on its own.

Cruos grows very fast and can grow to the size of a dinosaur overnight. Cruos is lonely, because every water monster is unique in the world, and does not lay an egg until it grows old and dies.

Angus was also alone. Dad didn't come back from the war, leaving only his favorite studio.

However, they are lucky. Angus and Cruos once had each other. That rare and sincere friendship is worth remembering for a lifetime, and will also leave the most beautiful page in Angus' entire life.

If possible, I also hope that I can have a water monster that can take me on the sea and underwater. The shot of Angus riding on the back of the water monster is too shocking. Also, the music at the end is very moving.
