families can talk about how mee - shee seems to instinctively know who the
good guys
and
bad guys
are. how does mee - shee protect and rescue people? how does mee - shee defend those same people against the movie' s villains? why is it important that the young boy not broadcast the fact that he has seen mee - shee? how does the film handle environmental issues, such as animal protection and the oil industry ?

on the plus - side, kids aren' t going to care enough about the quality of effects to enjoy mee - shee any less .
mee - shee: the water giant - production - naming controversy... leaders supported using the name
ogopogo
in the film... renamed the creature
mee - shee .
the aboriginal who did not want the name
ogopogo
used was stewart phillip, a penticton chief... phillip asked that the names
ogopogo
and
okanagan
not be used because
it' s an international concern among indigenous people about the exploitation of spiritual entities and being and ...
shot in new zealand, the scenery is pretty and the cast adequate, but the shoddy effects and plethora of superior movies aimed at kid audiences will drown out mee shee’s roars .
when the feds have already gagged the experts, where do we turn? you have to follow the voices that won' t be silenced – the people who aren' t afraid to speak up. so i reached out to the offices of john henderson, director of both the 1996 film loch ness and the straight - to - dvd mee - shee: the water giant, to have him cast over eyes on the footage .
mee - shee the water giant is an anglo - german coproduction set in canada, filmed in new zealand, and originally released in 2005. it' s full of actors you' ll have seen in other places, directed by john henderson (who also helms bbc2' s hyperdrive), and is the scriptwriting debut of barry authors .
while his dad' s at work, he decides to find out once and for all whether there' s any truth to the rumours about the mythical mee - shee .
the bad guys say
crud
and
sugar
, and die at the end when mee - shee' s mother returns. mee - shee, of course, is a youth, and intervenes when its friends are threatened by its parents. the cambells vow to move to the area, and there is a' joke' about local property prices .
mee - shee: the water giant is a family - friendly movie that should delight kids with its compassionate lake monster, nifty submarines, and scenes of adventure in the remote canadian wilderness. meanwhile, its sensitive portrayal of the relationship between a father and his young son provides some tender moments. the movie sinks occasionally due to some overacting by minor characters, but overall it' s entertaining and fun to watch .
a cool movie with special effects from the jim henson creature shop. before the waterhorse, there was mee - shee. i wish there was a bit more scenes in which the creature is actually shown though. a better movie than
magic in the water
by far. worth owning if you have children .
parents may need a little magic water of their own before subjecting themselves to either film .

mac' s dad' s assistant neilds is very funny, especially when things start to go wrong, and the scenes where the baddies come face to face with mee - shee for the first time are well worth the wait .
some suspense is lost by revealing mee - shee too quickly, but this may work better for younger viewers. a gargantuan combination of walrus, dinosaur, and dolphin, mee - shee is a little scary at first, but proves itself to be friendly, curious, and even playful. the movie features a number of suspenseful scenes - - underwater and on dry land. and sean and mac' s experiences with mee - shee help them grow closer, probably more than a trip to disney world ever could .
mac, a fun loving nine - year old, will have the adventure of a lifetime when he uncovers the world’s biggest secret: mee - shee, a loveable water giant. with incredible monsters and amazing special effects from academy award ® winning jim henson’s creature shop, mee - shee the water giant will swim into the hearts of your whole family! director: john henderson 2005 stars: bruce greenwood, daniel magder, rena owen from the jim henson' s creature shop. rated pg family. fantasy. adventure. watch more free movies at popcornflix. com, or on the popcornflix app available on mobile devices, roku, xbox, sony, playstation and many more! # popcornflix, full length free movies like us on facebook: urltoken follow us on twitter: urltoken popcornflix is owned / operated by screen media ventures, llc .
i am! i think i just saw it swimming further along by the docks, so i' m following the water .
our family really likes lake serpent stories. we enjoyed the director' s loch ness movie, but mee - shee was just fabulous. mee - shee herself had a lot of screen time and interacted with the human characters. the animation was beautifully done, and the special effects were great. good performances all around, lovely scenery, touching story. lake serpent fans will be well pleased with the surprises toward the end. mee - shee is based on the real - life canadian lake serpent ogopogo. we saw this movie twice at the tribeca film festival and hope that it finds a north american distributor. creating sea animals that are truly believable is a very difficult task, but the creature shop deserves special kudos for both the imagination and the care that has gone into the realization of mee shee. credit must also go to the excellent cast, which performs with distinction opposite the animal co - star. bruce greenwood brings a valuable degree of warmth to the role of the father without going overboard. indeed, the entire cast manages to make the film truly heartwarming without crossing over the line into manipulating the heartstrings .
hot on the trail, i noticed a man clambering out of a thames tour boat .
excuse me ,
i said ,
have you seen a giant sea creature anywhere out on the water today? i' m trying to report on it .
mac' s new friend pawnee is a great character who stops the film getting too serious, but there won' t be too many people who see this film without developing a soft spot for mee - shee .
a typical gentle giant film about a large creature living in a deep canadian lake. adored by the locals with potential earth shattering ramifications for scientific community, mee - shee is a water bound et. it has all the elements of a good film for the kids under 11, and only kids under 11 that are not use to the normal breakneck paced, borderline porn, of today' s' family' films. the main character is mac (magder) who searches for mee - shee as the locals try and convince him not to tell his scientist dad about the' monster'. the cgi is ok, and the cinematography is good. seasoned actors keep the film from being a real bore due to lack of action and a well worn plot. it accomplishes its goal of being a clean family film for the very young to enjoy .
sudarsky' s classification of gas giants for the purpose of predicting their appearance based on their temperature was outlined by david sudarsky and colleagues in the paper albedo and reflection spectra of extrasolar giant planets and expanded on in theoretical spectra and atmospheres of extrasolar giant planets, published before any successful direct or indirect observation of an extrasolar planet atmosphere was made. it is a broad classification system with the goal of bringing some order to the likely rich variety of extrasolar gas - giant atmospheres .
the monster munch gobbled up within seconds, there was no doubt i was in the presence of the beast. my gaze tracked the surface of the water until it met with something for a brief moment: the eyes of our temptress. before photographer tim could get the camera on it, the feds rushed onto the bridge and shut the operation down .
eventually we' ll have that same scene of the family gazing upward with golly - shucks wonder at the cgi enhanced muppet that we wait forever to see. that all the
good
characters are dewy - eyed enamored of the sweet dear giant animal (s) gets most mawkish after they' ve just seen the grendel' s mother version of mee - shee kill the bad guys & an extra person (helicoptor pilot) not actually proven to be bad. ahhh, cute murdering creatures, ahhhh .
two kids, mac & pawnee (daniel magder & jacinta wawatai) get to hang out with the tuskless but otherwise walrus - like puppy - faced friendly lake monster in a cavern by the canadian lake. the original script called this creature ogopogo, but by the time it was filmed, it' d become mee - shee .
ashley first got to know orky the not - an - orca by leaving oreos (perhaps that should be orkeos) at the end of the dock. orky eats the middle out & leaves the cookie outsides for ashley to find as evidence of the creature. how did a giant thing without fingers managed to eat just the middle out? who the hell cares .
pepe was a kindred spirit: woke, generous with the cigarettes. we spoke and watched the water. something lurks in there, my friends. i felt it. pepe felt it .
an oil company has dispatched engineer sean campbell (bruce greenwood) to canada to retrieve an expensive drillhead at the bottom of a lake using his specialized submarine. sean and his son, mac, learn of a water monster that' s said to inhabit the lake, and is called mee - shee by the native americans. mac, who wasn' t thrilled over going to canada because he missed a trip to disney world, decides to look for mee - shee. what he finds is that the creature is a guardian angel of sorts, rescuing people from drowning and instinctively protecting them from two villains who arrive in town. indeed, a threat looms over the area when a rival oil company hires two thugs to foil campbell' s attempts to salvage the drillhead, and the men will stop at nothing to achieve that goal .
when you discover that a young boy is disappointed that his father is breaking a promise to go with him on holiday because he has to go to the lake to recover an expensive oil drill, you can’t help thinking that the boy is going to find mee - shee and they are going to become friends .
ere' s a decent family adventure movie in the spielbergian mould. bruce greenwood plays an oil engineer who comes to a beautiful lake in the canadian wilderness to rescue a lost piece of machinery. it' s rumoured to contain a nessie - type beast: the mee shee. he' s a widower and he brings his sad little boy with him, and naturally the boy is the one to make contact with mee shee; he' s the only human trusted by the mighty mythical beast. the cgi effects aren' t quite top - of - the - range, but this is an exciting story with a heartfelt pro - environment message. john henderson directed greyfriars bobby recently, which i thought was a terrible old mutt. but this is pedigree stuff .
i don' t mean to alarm you, but a giant, unidentified creature has been caught on camera swimming in the thames. look. look at that fucker. what is that fucker ?
battling the gales swooping across the surface of the water, i kept my eyes alert for movements. i couldn' t believe it: on the horizon, a large figure briefly surfaced before rushing away from me. i packed my bag and gave chase .
after a helicopter crossing over canada oddly malfunctions and crashes into lake okanagan, the crew are mysteriously saved by a unseen lifeform which helps them to safety. soon after troubleshooter widower sean cambell is sent along with company employee neilds to locate an arctic drill that was on board the helicopter when it splashed down... and is now somewhere in okanagan' s vast depths. despite his promise to his only son mac that they were going to disney world. new york' s alaskoil oil business orders sean to go... canceling father and son' s holiday trip and forcing sean to grudgingly bring his sulking offspring along for the ride. on arrival to the lake mac soon finds something even better than fun rides, when he discovers that the folklore of fabled water - giant mee - shee is not only real but dwelling in an inlet cave. sadly alaskoil competitors snead & watkins also find out about mee - shee and after our lake dweller spoils their plans to sell the drill on the open market, they both set out to capture / kill the unique prehistoric beast .
i' ll never change, i' ll stay the same i' m not so bad, i' m dr. strange my broken heart, i have to face my broken heart, hell' s on its way my time to start, procrastinate i feel alive, i fucking hate there' s nothing left, there' s nothing right if there' s no point, why do we fight? welcome to my vicious circle trying to escape, break out! playing with my knife until it cuts me giant walking, no more talking in my way and one way out fighting me forever, i' ll break the giant down caught between the lines of right and wrong yeah caught between the things that i don' t know up and down the mountain climbing, climbing drowning in a ocean to find my soul i have to win, i never lose i' ll have my way, you have to choose war all the time, i' m fucking fierce war all the time, what do i fear? the giant walks, the giant eats out of control, the giant beats and breaks you down, with all your might
when you hear that there is a mysterious creature in a canadian lake, you can’t help thinking of the loch ness monster. (and then we discover that director, john henderson, directed loch ness .) almost immediately, we learn that this creature, mee - shee is benevolent and saves a helicopter pilot and passenger from drowning .
the odd geographical genesis seems an attempt to simultaneously tap as many funding bodies as possible while avoiding child labour laws. though the script mentions disney repeatedly there' s no actual involvement from the mouse, though jim henson' s creature workshop provides the monster. it is wasted in this film. the script makes much of the fact that mee - shee has
big eyes
, and while they are large on the monster they are subsumed within its elephantine face, concealed by narrow, seemingly vengeful eyelids. any need for suspension of disbelief is lost because the rest of the film is so bad .
before joel tobeck appears in the new water horse movie, he is a mean greenpeace member that is trying to delay drilling in a canadian lake, and then trying to capture mee - shee for profit. the absolute beauty of british columbia comes forth in stunning beauty on my new tv, and i don' t even have the hi - def hooked up yet. i really wanted something to show me what i can expect, and i certainly wasn' t disappointed. bruce greenwood (double jeopardy, i' m not there) cancels a vacation with his son to find a drill bit. daniel magder plays the son, who discovers magic in the water in the form of a strange looking creature. it is a slow moving picture notable not for action, but for beauty. luanne gordon (king kong) manages to be the impetus for greenwood to decide to slow his life down and enjoy the beauty of bc .
in this gentle tale of boy befriends creature, the legend of the loch ness monster is transposed to the lakes of the canadian outback .

as usual in the films though not in the original legends, the water critters live in a cave, this time beneath the castle, where the cast gets to interact with muppetry that this time isn' t even slightly well done. pet the big muppet! it won' t bite, pet it! the cavern scenes in all these films allows for indoor soundstage work. has nothing to do with being logical or a story well told .
strolling back and forth, watching the waves wet the tips of my toes, i wondered why i' d invested so much into this crazy dream. was the captain of duck tours right? was i merely looking for my own jobless, childlike reflection in the water? could i be the monster? then, as the surf washed over me, my quest was once again justified: i had been offered a hunk of the leviathan' s flesh .
i enjoyed mee - shee, except when the lame and talentless child actor called it mishee. you' d think he' d be able to pronounce the name of the movie correctly but, honestly, he is so bad maybe that' s not something he can do. loved bruce greenwood, as always. and as usual, he it too good for the material and his poker - faced co - star. (the new zealand scenery, filling in for canada, makes me crazy to want to go there .) whenever i see a child actor this bad i always wonder which of the producers he belongs to. the kid never changed expression, even when facing down a water
monster ,
as far as he knows. i really recommend everybody see this film just so they can catch probably the worst child actor ever. the little dude didn' t even try. this could have been much better without the kid who played the kid .
the family gets to squat down in the cavern & gaze up in wonder. then the camera cuts to the lake creature' s puppyish sweet face. eventually the kids even hug the unyielding plastic prop with the barely mechanical eyeball. surprisingly enough, the acting ain' t bad & the kids are especially effective in their performances, but the earnestness of hugging a plastic head with a crappy robot eye just made the goofiness goofier .
among the greatest films of the 1980s, but not scorsese' s best .
the muppet meeshees are nice enough looking though not well integrated with the human characters. there' s way too much
cut to mee - shees
sort of editing reminiscent of old jungle movies when people point & look intensely all in the same direction, then cut to some group of animals from south america .
mee - shee is a decent film. the great part about this movie is it opens the minds of people again about lochness, nessie, and champ and the probability that perhaps there is a creature out there while adding some efforts and hints to protect not neccesarily
sea monsters
but all aquatic animals that may be on the verge of extinction. the actors are not magnificent but there not too bad either. the little boy and girl probably could of done better, but they were okay for there ages. the film takes the legend of a sea monster to the extreme and goes a little to far at times, but it' s a nice movie for kids to watch. my nephew really enjoyed it and that was enough for me too .
local productions released this year include the dark horse, the dead lands, housebound and what we do in the shadows .
check out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy, the predator, zoe, and the king of thieves .
parents need to know that although this movie is geared toward kids, it does include some frightening scenes where the titular water creature attacks the movie' s two villains and destroys their submarine with a flick of its tail; it' s understood that both men don' t survive. also, these two villains are quite dangerous and don' t seem to care about harming others who get in their way. they kidnap a boy, vandalize property, attack a boat full of people with a grenade launcher, and harpoon the monster. the movie also touches on a boy' s loss of his mother, establishing that she died two years earlier and her death still affects both father and son. finally, mee - shee is essentially a friendly monster, but it may appear scary at first to younger kids .
sent to find lost drilling equipment, oil company employee sean cambell (bruce greenwood) and his young son mac (daniel madger) hit the water. what follows is a formulaic family movie involving money - grabbing bad guys and an aquatic beast - part dolphin, part dinosaur, part oap - saving the day .
we go to the thames and find out what the fuck is going on, for we are the woke generation. we are generation truth. we must have the answers .
on closer inspection, the flesh had a dense, sponge - like texture. fascinating but what is a discarded piece of flesh when you have no host? yes, it 100 percent belonged to the sea monster captured on camera, but how could i prove it? desperate to go one step further, i rushed over to my toolkit and cast my rod into the water once again .

the cinematography is in general bland, losing an opportunity with the canadian wilderness. the script per se is just unimaginably badly written. still, due to the presence of good - enough kid actors & the muppetiness of the smily - walrus - creature, little kids are going to love
we don' t get the usual indian shaman or shamenness for local color because it' s scotland, but we do get a scottish crackpot
water bailiff
( ian holm) who knows what he knows. it has the requisit child (kirstey graham), single male (danson), & love interest (joley richardson). it is in general better acted than the script merits .
poor casting, intermittent periods where the film treads water with overlong pictures of the scenery, and a lack of anyone in the cast to empathise with, render this a dreary experience. edited with no sense of timing and with unmemorable music laid on with a trowel, the performances are unable to engage or sustain one' s attention. the biggest drawback is that there is nobody one likes - the hero is the american equivalent of a shop dummy in a cecil gee window, the son is blank faced except when he is petulant. custer is inscrutable and a boring character. the villains are cardboard cutouts, and the mad woman of the hills is alarming and repellent. custer' s daughter is the only bright spark in the film, and acts everyone else off the screen, not that that was hard to do. the henson creature shop shut up shop in london shortly after this film was made; maybe they had lost heart when they saw it. one to miss .

common sense is the nation' s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century .
the premise of mac campbell' s character is based on a neglected child who has lost his mother recently. his dad (bruce greenwood) has unintentionally ignored his son by burying himself in work after his wife died and has decided to make it up to mac by taking him to a theme park. the boy is devastated to find out that his dad' s plans have changed as a result of an emergency trip to canada. mac, played by daniel magder plays an angry, somewhat stoic, curious, brave yet emotional young man. i believe he pulled it off beautifully. in fact he adds a touch of humor to his character in a non funny situation when speaking under his breath about pawnee, his new found friend. my kids have seen him in
life with derek
as
edwin
and he portrays a totally different type of character showing his versatility. (they' ve coaxed me into watching a few episodes). mee - she the water giant is great for kids but i think it could have been simplified for the benefit of the younger viewers. that being said, i recommend renting it or purchasing the film. i purchased the film and my kids have seen it many times .
after many aborted attempts, sean campbell (bruce greenwood) has finally cleared his relentlessly busy schedule to take his son, mac (daniel magder), on an oft - delayed trip to disney world. unfortunately, his bosses at arctic oil have other ideas. it seems that a helicopter carrying an extremely valuable drill bit has crashed into a remote canadian lake and that sean is the only person who can recover it. mac, who believes his father places more importance on his work than on his son, is very unhappy about trading in mickey and goofy for a backwoods town with little to offer a young boy. things change dramatically, however, when mac not only hears tales of a mysterious lake monster named mee - shee but actually stumbles upon his hiding place in a secluded cavern. mac is enormously excited, but none of the adults take him seriously. this includes his father, whose attempt to retrieve the equipment is being foiled by the evil watkins (charles mesure) and his henchman, mr. snead (joel tobeck), who work for a rival oil company and will stop at nothing to retrieve the drill bit for themselves. things don' t look good for sean on either a personal or professional level - - until mee - shee manages to change all that .
confirmation of that incentive came with the announcement that the three avatar sequels would be made in new zealand .
scattered moments of rawness aside, the master of the spiritual crisis directs an unbalanced and uncharacteristically unconvincing melodrama .
good for fans of the director but perhaps too heavy going for an afternoon in front of the television .
having made the film loch ness 10 years ago, geordie director john henderson has to look further afield for this sort - of - sequel about a boy (daniel magder) who stumbles upon a mythical beastie in a canadian lake. brought to life by jim henson’s creature shop, this seal - like critter is the undisputed star of this wholesome homily to valuing family and respecting nature. sadly, he’s not on screen enough to excuse a witless treasure - hunt plot involving a missing, er, drill bit. with new zealand filling in none too convincingly for ontario and performances so stiff they make the animatronic mee - shee look like brando, this is pretty wishee - washee .
but, this is a genial story of a father (bruce greenwood) bonding with his son (daniel megdar) and the son bonding, with the help of a young indian girl, with the creature. there are some genial folks at the lake: the local indian, custer, with a sardonic sense of humour, the owner of a dredge on the lake, an attractive female environmental inspector, and the largish, jovial assistant to the father. there is also mrs coogan (phyllida law) as the strict but genial housekeeper .
though the similarities are in actuality due to both films' utter lack of imagination resulting in pretty close to the exact same story developed in the exact same way .
in this padded out family movie, even the scenes above the lake' s surface feel a bit wet .

joel tobeck and charles mesure, who each had regular gigs in hercules and xena (as deimos and the archangel michael respectively) are the bad guys. they have been to the same bad guy shop as the villains of die hard 4. 0, but have come away with a midget submarine with harpoon and torpedo launchers. they shoot the titular mee - shee to allow it to bond with our kid hero in a thorn in a lion' s paw sort of way, and then to try to steal that elusive drill bit. at one point, when confronted by an environmental protection officer (and, obviously, love interest / replacement mother figure), having threatened said state and provincial officer with a rock, and abandoning a truck, a midget submarine and high explosives on the shore, one cries ,

monster movie, you' ll enjoy this one. i started watching it in the background while it was on a tv movie channel and quickly got interested in it. the basic premise is as follows: a helicopter carrying an important oil - drilling bit has crashed in a remote canadian lake. the drilling company sends their small - submarine specialist (who brings his son) to recover the item. while there, the boy encounters an elusive local resident of the lake. in the midst of all this, a rival drilling company is trying to sabotage the recovery efforts... and the story progresses from there. there' s nothing really special about the plot and the kid - centric aspect can be a potential turn - off for many adult viewers. however, in this case, the story is well done and the characters are well acted and interesting - so it was worth the time. as long as you' re expectations are for a low - key but well done little movie, you' ll have a pleasant time .
a young boy is devastated when the planned vacation with his father is cancelled due to an emergency salvage mission at a remote canadian lake. but when he discovers the lake is known as the home of a mythical creature, mac makes it his mission prove there' s more to the myth than just legend. forging a connection with the creature is easier for mac than getting his father' s attention until both man and beast need all the help they can get .

ted danson' s character scrooge, er, dempsey, wants to prove nessy isn' t real. just his bad luck, he discovers it' s all true. the main plot is about the crabby disbeliever learning not only to love nessy, but to love the inkeeper & her daughter. because the nessy itself is so badly designed we are not subjected to much of it. likely even children wouldn' t care for this one as much as other versions of essentially the same lame tale, as there' s too little of the creature & too much of dempsey falling in love.
