I wouldn't buy. Colors are off and there's no McQuack.

Thanks for the link. I'm buying!

I absolutely LOVED this short, more than any animated short I've seen in YEARS! I love the throwback to the look, feel, and tone of the classic Walt-era "Special" shorts from the 40's and 50's. I love how Nessie is sweet and gentle, like Ferdinand the Bull, Lambert the Sheepish Lion, and The Reluctant Dragon, rather than ferocious. I love McQuack and the other cute animal critters. And I love the HEART found in this short, and the positive message. And I enjoyed the humor, including the Glen Keane reference. This short is yet another reason for me to go see Pooh another 2 or 3 times before it leaves!

And the plushie will make a great souvenir!

If you really want to see a live-action film about Nessie, then rent or download or better yet buy "Water Horse The Legend of the Deep" which purports to be the true story of the Loch Ness Monster lovingly referred to as Nessie. Very good movie and a lot of fun to watch.

This short was so good I found myself wishing it was a complete feature. Would be amazing and the colouring and animation style would have harkened back to classic Disney. Missed opportunity for the studio I think.
