Nessie Junior
On the surface, Loch Ness has become a bustling tourist destination overlooked by the ruins of the ancient Urquhart Castle. Local showman Mylo - Kellina’s father - runs a ramshackle monster-themed attraction, claiming he once encountered the real creature. His sceptical daughter doesn’t believe in his tales of monsters or myths… until she meets Finn. What follows is a thrilling, heart-warming adventure filled with humour, danger and wonder, as two worlds collide and a legendary friendship is born.
NESSIE JUNIOR is a visually spectacular, emotionally uplifting CGI-animated family film inspired by the enduring myth of the Loch Ness Monster - one of the world’s most recognisable legends. Combining rich Scottish landscapes with high-end animation, it delivers a story of courage, connection and hope for audiences everywhere. The co-screenwriter and director of the Netflix original animated musical fantasy “Scrooge - A Christmas
Carol”(nominated for two London Critics‘ Circle Film Awards) is taking over the direction. The producers’ team is Matthias Drescher, known for “Shifting the Blame” and the Emmy-winning “War of Lies”, along with Ulrich Schwarz, co-producer of Constantin Film‘s “Dragon Rider” and producer of the Netflix sci-fi thriller “Stowaway”. And Ken Anderson, co-producer of Studio100’s “Princess Emmy” and “The Brilliant World of Tom Gates”. Character design is by Peter Oedekoven (“Stitch Head”, “Amazing Maurice”) and Randy Bishop (“Scrooge - A Christmas Carol”, “Monster High”).
