Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

AdventureComedyFamily

Directed by Duwayne Dunham

Before the Seavers leave for a family vacation to San Francisco, they drop off their pets -- Chance, an adventurous American bulldog; Shadow, a wise golden retriever; and Sassy, a cautious cat -- at a friend's ranch. But when the animals start to worry that they've been left for good, the three embark together on a treacherous and thrilling journey to find their way back home through the California wilderness.

    watched Homeward Bound with my daughter last night. Three thoughts: 1. Absolutely holds up. 2. No one will ever make a movie like this again, you could never convince a studio not to just do shitty cgi for the animals. 3. Jean Smart???

    Watching Homeward Bound with the grandson and I have to say, the complete lack of CG talking animals is really refreshing. The movie is fun and funny with just voice over as the animals do their things.

    #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched 1)The original version of Homeward Bound (1993); 2) The movie that originated the name "Hazel Flagg"; 3) Liz and Richard's second movie pairing after Cleopatra; and 4) An underrated vampire movie of the 60s that is not all about Dracula.

    This opens in LA/NYC on Nov 22nd, wide Dec 6th. A mix of Studio Ghibli magical-realism, Fumito Ueda games (ICO, Shadow of the Colossus), & The Incredible Journey/Homeward Bound. So rare to see an animated film that doesn't hammer you over the head with its message. Or have talking animals. :)

    #Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 346/1000: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY It was not until recently that I knew that this Disney family film was remade 30 years after under the title "Homeward Bound." The beauty of the original film lies in its cinematography of the wilderness---lush, picturesque and colorful.

    One of my cats has a high voice and has learned to do perfect attention-seeking sad meows when she wants attention and is too lazy to find me, and sings a loud frantic song to motivate me as I prepare food. The other one purrs with the depth and volume of a large diesel engine, but mostly only lets out her low raspy meow to complain, which could be anything from "open the window" to "why did you stop petting me for .5 seconds?" If I were casting voices for them in some type of Homeward…

    I dreamed I was watching a movie that used the same musical theme as Homeward Bound (1993) and it made me tear up instantly. I’m PMSing right now, so to watch the actual movie in real life would obliterate me. Do you ever deliberately watch something really emotional when you’re hormonal?

Not heavy on milprop; showed mostly the PTSD. I liked it as a decent couch movie. And JK Simmons shows up for no reason.
