The green Verdies are the tiny, but brave guardians of the lakeside. The young Verdies only become guardians when their hair turns brown. Until then, however, life is boring. The youngsters with green hair are not allowed to fly on warblers, not allowed to row alone, and they're not allowed to ride wild frogs at the rodeo. Willy Whistle's big dream is to become a guardian, but his curiosity always gets him into trouble. However, the whole lake becomes at risk when the enemies of the lakeside, the Grimps and the swans, enter into alliance. The guardians are helpless, but Willy comes up with a daring plan in order to save his home and his trapped friend, Jeremiah Jump. Luckily he is not alone, because Grandpa, the water snakes and the frogs also come to his aid.
角色设定过于单一，缺乏深度和层次感，难以引起观众的共鸣。
在紧张刺激的情节中穿插着幽默的对话和场景，为影片增添了不少乐趣。
朋友推荐的《湖畔传说》太棒了，看完又哭了一遍。
看完之后，湖畔传说整体氛围做得可以，属于越往后看越顺的那种，没什么特别硬伤。
演员Csongor,Szalay,Anna,Kubik,András,Faragó,Róbert,Bolla对角色诠释入木三分，从细微肢体动作到表情神态变化，精准传递角色内心情绪，让人沉浸角色命运，感同身受。
