Review of Homeward Bound (DVD)

HOMEWARD BOUND I am writing a review on the Disney Movie Homeward Bound - the Incredible Journey. THE DVD COVER The cover of the DVD is very appealing, it is a picture of three animals walking, with the sunset in the background. Very scenic and beautiful. I really like the choice of DVD cover the used, it let's the audience know that the story is about these animals without mentioning them. As the title does not give away the storyline. The STORY ...
...three animals - Chance, Sassy and Shadow when they are separated from their owners, and decide to make their own way home. These three incredible animals express their feelings throughout the movie with real human voices. They encounter a lot of different events in their journey, but they all stick together and keep going. Sassy is a female cat, who thrives on affection. Shadow is the older dog, the golden retriever, who is the loyal dog of the family ...

Review of Homeward Bound (DVD)

Made in 1993, this heart-warming story is still as watchable as ever. A must see for all children. As 3 pets with 3 very different personalities are lost, they do all they can to get back home, meeting a variety of friends and foes along the way. At 84 minutes long, the story does not drag on too long for anyone to keep their attention. I can remember sitting through it at least 10 times as a youngster. As far as the story and characters are concerned, ...
...family entertainment. The main 3 characters are: Shadow: An older golden retreiver, who due to his age, is the natural leader for the three. He is slightly more serious, but also brave and determined to get home to be reunited with his owner. Missy is a Siamese cat, who loves to be pampered and is distraught at being lost. She wants nothing more than to get home and be groomed. Chance is a young and playful dog who is thrilled by the fact he has ...

Homeward Bound. The Incredible Journey This is undoubtedly one of the greatest movies ever to come from the Walt Disney studios. It has set the scene for so many other great animal based movies. It bases around the "Incredible Journey" taken by three pets who are pining for their owners. You have "Chance" the American Bulldog, he's still a pup fresh from the pound, he is the pet of the youngest boy and when the owners leave he just thinks its ...
...then they leave him. Next is "Sassy" the Himalayan cat who has been the pampered pet of the young girl in the family. She so misses the luxury she enjoyed at the old home. The new "carer" lives on a farm so hasn't the time to do as she likes and give her the treat of warmed milk etc. Lastly there is "Shadow", he's a golden retriever, the old one of the trio. He belongs to the eldest child and doesn't believe that the family would ever abandon them. ...

This Walt Disney studios production is based on Sheila Burnford's classic animal-adventure novel and was made in 1993. In which the heroic trio of animals (two dogs and a cat) track their way across America to find their way home. The animal voices are played by Don Ameche (Shadow), Michael J. Fox (Chance), and Sally Field (Sassy), who are just brilliant especially Fox who plays Chance the young Bulldog pup. The family have to go away as the dad ...
...take their animals they have to leave them with Auntie. The animals don't understand why the family is leaving them and decide to make their way home. Which is when all the adventures start, encountering Bears, Mountain Lions and wild rivers. Some of very funny scenes stick in my mind when Chance the Bulldog is trying fish and gets chased by the Bears, also when he gets stuck with Porcupine spikes. One of Sassy the cat star roles is when she rescues ...

Review of Homeward Bound (DVD)

I have got to say that as a child I loved this film. Granted i was animal mad and this film catered to that what with the three talking house pets. It is a great film for a wet day or a lazy sunday when you just want to relax as a family and it is perfectly suited to the younger audience although as a child i did find one scene rather upsetting but as the film has a happy ending and everything works out for the best so the trauma was always short ...
...a cat and two dogs, are left with a friend while the family is living away for a while. The animals not understanding that their owners are coming back for them run away from their carer and make the journey home. Based on a true story it is a heart warming film that is fun to whatch over and over again although I am sure my parents would claim otherwise after being made to sit through it at leats once a week for a couple of years ...
