Editorial Review:
The whole family will enjoy this warm-hearted animated adventure featuring the voices of Oscarr winner* William Hurt and John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings trilogy). A little girl discovers a Bigfoot family in her backyard and soon learns that they aren't the scary creatures of legend, but actually very friendly and gentle. When a new dam threatens to flood the cave where the Bigfoot live, they turn to their human friends for help. But is it too late to preserve their secret, ancient way of life?
Legend of Sasquatch Reviews:
OUTSTANDING animation - very pleased! 
2009-04-19 - Contrary to one or two of the other reviews, I LOVE the animation. Our sixteen month old does, too. Awesome family story. This is one I definitely would watch with kids and adults of all ages - grandparents included. Way worth it - we found this at the Family Video in free children's rental section but decided to find a used copy to buy instead. And we don't own ANY other DVDs. (Yet.) This is one of VERY few movies our toddler truly enjoys.
Waste of Money 
2009-03-12 - This movie is a huge disappointment. The animation is sad. The story is very lame. The kids enjoyed watching it, but never asked to watch it a second time. As for a film for the WHOLE family to enjoy, forget it! Adults will loathe this movie. The storyline also is way out there, almost drug-induced with flying sasquatch and humans. We wish we had not wasted our money on this.
Good for little kids 
2008-11-25 - This is not a movie that was made to entertain the whole family, unless you can get your kicks entirely by watching your small children smile instead of from the film. The sasquatch is very, very cute and the story is very non-threatening and soft. Think Kipper. In other words, you might be inclined to take a little nap. Except for the fact that, for adults, the movie is so disengaging you might be stunned to see it through, there is no attraction. I compare this to movies like Kung-Fu Panda and Surf's Up where adults will actually laugh. Don't bother if you aren't buying it for kids. Unless you like that kind of thing.
Great Story and even better lessons
2008-11-16 - I totally underestimated this movie as the animation is way behind Pixar's work, but the story is great and the kids loved it.
It's about the family, trusting each other, and how powerful dreaming is.
Recommended for kids up to fifth grade and any teen/adult that likes to dream.
The Legend of Sasquatch.... 
2008-11-10 - This 2006 CGI film made by Gorilla Pictures stars William Hurt and John Rhys Davies. It tells the story of John Davis who moves his family to a cabin in mountains of the pacific northwest. while he is there, he is to oversee a new dam that will provide power to the area. When John's daughter find a family of Bigfoot living behind a waterfall in their backyard, he soon learns that it may have put these gentle creatures at risk. Him, his family, along with their new friend: Ranger Steve must find a way to save their home while protecting their secret and ancient way of life. The film, itself, has won over 8 awards at various film festivals and is a great movie to watch with the whole family. I honestly didn't think I would like it too much but, as it turns out, I like it alot. You can't help but love the characters in the movie as it teaches you a lesson in working together and to believe in one another.
I'll admit, though, that the animation leaves alot to be desired. It's not quite up to par with such CGI classics as "Toy Story", "Monsters Inc." or "Cars". Even so, the story helps push this film along and, in that respect, this movies does fine.
I definitely recommend this movie. I loved it. you will too.
