Lassie & Nessie
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 1st, 2006
The new Lassie movie opens September 1, 2006, and I predict it will be a runaway hit with babyboomers who use the excuse their kids want to go see it. 
For Cryptomundo readers, I hope someone reports back soon on what happens during the appearance of the Loch Ness Monster and lochside researchers (Edward Fox playing one of them) during Nessie’s cameo in the motion picture.
Set just before World War II, this cinema version returns us to its original plot apparently, but was the Loch Ness Monster in the first version of this?

I don’t recall ever seeing the Loch Ness Monster mentioned in any of the original spate of Lassie films. I’m not a real expert, though.
Hey, thanks for mentioning the new Lassie film. I had no idea this was coming out. Knowing that Lassie is sharing the bill with Nessie makes it way more appealing, as I was never a huge Lassie fan.
“what’s that, Lassie? Nessie has Timmy trapped down at the shore?! Let’s go save him!”
Now, that’s funny.
You have to love the exposure this field of interest is getting. I think it’s wonderful that the general media have become more accepting of cryptozoology. More and more movies, books, childrens cartoons and toys are featuring cryptids and it’s awesome that such an icon as Lassie is including a famous cryptid in a new adaptation of an older movie.
