    It is an awesome and fantastic short from Disney

    The plot was about Nessie playing his rubber duck until all of a sudden a lot of people arrive at her lake and they turn it into a golf camp with a very weak villain named Tycoon Mcfroogle despite having the same voice actor Billy Conolly who voiced Fergus (Brave) and he also did the movie The Muppets Treasure Island, now Nessie needs to find a new home without crying like baby does even though we sometimes cry whenever something bad happens to all of us, she tried to find the perfect lake but she failed so she started to cry using her tears and turning everything into a big lake and the ending was alright, when the credits start to roll we see that Tycoon Mcfroogle is crying like a spoiled brat just like Prince John (Robin Hood) and this is the end. Also this short was released when Winnie The Pooh was about to release in theatres back in 2011, but on the dvd opening after Lady And The Tramp, The Muppets and Cars 2 i saw that a short named Tinkerbell And The Pixie Hollow Games premeired on Disney Channel.
