In original hand drawn 2D classic Disney animation, the new animated short film The Ballad of Nessie follows a friendly Lock Ness monster trying to save its home from a future attraction.  The main plot is as follows:

Set in the ‘bonny blue highlands’ of Scotland, The Ballad of Nessie is a whimsical and colorful tall tale about the friendly Loch Ness monster, Nessie, and how she (and her best friend, the rubber duck MacQuack) came to live in the moor they now call home. Setting the adventure into motion is a greedy land developer named MacFroogle, who decides to build a mini-golf empire on top of Nessie’s home.
