Ring Of Bright Water

I can't believe that you made me watch this movie!! All I heard from everyone that is so cute and funny! Which is true, until the last few minutes where it gets VERY SAD. The mean Evil Scotsman Chops the sweet unsuspecting otter to death with a shovel. I am shocked and horrified!!! I was having a delightful day, and excited to watch a "cute movie" but instead find myself watching a brutal murder! What a terrible movie!!! Why didn't anyone at least warn me?!?!?!

After reading the reviews left my other netflix users I found that I am not the only one who feels this way:

I have to agree with the other reviews. I haven't seen this movie since I was a little girl, and I vaguely remember the beauty of it, but now that I'm almost 40, the only thing that I can clearly remember is the horror I felt when the otter is killed. That one scene is vividly etched in my memory, and brings me to tears to this day.

Parents beware! I rented this film because the lead actors are the same Travers-McKenna duo of "Born Free" fame (which we loved). This film is about an adorable otter, but it gets cruelly killed towards the end. My 6-yr old was BESIDE herself with grief. A healthy dose of "all things die" helped somewhat, but I'm sure this film will leave a lasting sad impression on my little one.

This is a wonderful movie but I had forgotten how the otter gets killed and so I didn't prepare my daughter for it. She was real upset.

Anyway that is that, I think I will go do something happy now, like housework.

See ya'll tomorrow-ish
