Walt Disney studios had previously adapted Sheila Burnford's classic animal-adventure novel The Incredible Journey in 1963, and the story proves just as durable in this popular 1993 version, Homeward Bound, in which the heroic trio of animals are given voices provided by Don Ameche, Michael J Fox, and Sally Field. They don't actually speak (like the clever critters in Babe), but we hear their "voices" as the lost household pets--Shadow the golden retriever, Chance the bulldog, and Sassy the cat--survive a harrowing series of adventures as they struggle to find their way home. Perfect entertainment for kids, this frequently clever movie offers an abundance of wildlife and beautiful location scenery, and the vocal performances by Ameche, Fox and Field are surprisingly effective. A hit with parents and children alike, the film was followed by a sequel in 1996. --Jeff Shannon

Great adventure First of all i must say this is a great family movie though many may just find talking dogs weird. Thats what it basically is, three animals, two dogs and a cat that are left behind whilst theyre family are on vacation. They are not happy where theyre staying so they decide to try and find their family.
Great adventure!
Disney hits another ace This film is from Disney and stars two dogs and a cat, This is about a film torn apart when the animals owners move in a small apartment and are forced to leave thier pets with a family friend. The three domestic animals have may adventres as the bid to find their loving owners and find their way home. This pulls at your heartstrings late on as you get to know the animals you may hate dogs or cats but 5his film enderes to to all three. You'll love Sassy the Cat she has the best lines.
