Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey
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.

60 of 189 · most liked firstwatched 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???
positive · AI labelView post →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.
positive · AI labelView post →#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.

neutral · AI labelView post →Homeward Bound. Fun old 90s family movie. Book is honestly weird af.
neutral · AI labelView post →The alternate cast to Homeward Bound the movie. Finlay, Daphne, Killian
neutral · AI labelView post →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. :)
neutral · AI labelView post →My friend telling me how they wept uncontrollably after watching a film and I'm just dead ass staring at the screen hoping they feel it before going; 'You watched Homeward Bound you stupid fuck (affectionate) ofcourse you were gonna cry.'
neutral · AI labelView post →Insert a movie into another movie. "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Homeward Bound." but who gets to voice George and Gracie? 🤔
neutral · AI labelView post →On insta, this little film had ‘Homeward Bound’ by Simon & Garfunkel. I wasn’t allowed to use it here so please hum along. Www.samcannonart.co.uk
neutral · AI labelView post →Beautiful hike today at Sahalie Falls, Oregon! Aka, “the waterfall Sassy the cat fell over in the movie Homeward Bound” for those of my generation who watched that film more than once. (Yes despite claiming it was all in California, IRL they filmed in Oregon.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Homeward Bound because I love crying apparently
neutral · AI labelView post →#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.

positive · AI labelView post →Patrick Shulte is god. I haven’t been this impressed with a Crew performance since Chad Marshall viciously murdered the cat from the smash hit 90’s film Homeward Bound before a game against Toronto in 2013.
neutral · AI labelView post →We joked we know our 20s are over and 30s means more naps or falling asleep after dinner. We were going to watch a movie but by the time I got the popcorn out I heard the zzzz. I helped in the bedroom and decided to watch....Homeward Bound. Oh wow!!
neutral · AI labelView post →Every so often the theme from Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey pops into my head. I don’t think I’ve seen that movie in 20 years
neutral · AI labelView post →Sahalie Falls is also known as “the waterfall Sassy the cat went over in the Homeward Bound movie” if you’re from my generation 🐱
neutral · AI labelView post →They made a movie called Homeward Bound about 2 dogs and a cat.
neutral · AI labelView post →HOMEWARD BOUND. Sad movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Friend: how are you doing, you know, with the election Me: I watched my Roomba try to find its dock for an hour, like the pets in that movie Homeward Bound
neutral · AI labelView post →I honestly think Chad Marshall could start on this team right now, had he not killed the cat from the smash hit 90’s film Homeward Bound before a game against Toronto in 2014.
neutral · AI labelView post →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…
neutral · AI labelView post →Do y’all ever think about who would voice your pets in a movie? Like if they went on a Homeward Bound type adventure, which celebrity or voice actor would voice your pet’s inner thoughts?
neutral · AI labelView post →Every once in awhile I remember Homeward Bound and have no desire to ever watch it again cause there’s no way that movie holds up from when you’re a kid
negative · AI labelView post →this was my first Michael J Fox movie btw if I ever meet him I'm gonna be like "I loved you as the voice of the American bulldog in Homeward Bound"

neutral · AI labelView post →My daughter is currently engrossed in millennial classic Homeward Bound, aka the movie with the ending that makes me cry every time to this day
neutral · AI labelView post →PS the baby’s name is Sassy which reminds me of the time that Chad Marshall killed the cat from the hit 90’s film Homeward Bound before a game against Toronto in 2013.

neutral · AI labelView post →Her name is Pepper and I have noticed that she loves watching other animals on TV and seems to get upset when they disappear. Her favorite movie is Homeward Bound. I highly recommend letting your cat watch animal movies
neutral · AI labelView post →God that second goal was so pretty. It reminds me of that one time when Chad Marshall ran over the cat from the smash hit film Homeward Bound before a game against Toronto in 2013.
neutral · AI labelView post →Craig Nelson is much more widely known for his movie poster work than for his limited gaming contributions. Notable posters he illustrated include Slapshot (1977), The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987), The Monster Squad (1987), and Homeward Bound (1993)

positive · AI labelView post →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?
neutral · AI labelView post →right, like, I'd feel a lot different about the film Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey if at the end there was a disclaimer that said "Hundreds and hundreds of animals were harmed in the making of this film, and also all the children were harmed"
neutral · AI labelView post →Homeward Bound is not a good background movie ~weeping~
negative · AI labelView post →Homeward Bound It's a great adventure movie only with Sassy, a cat, Champ, a pitbull, and a golden retriever named Peter.
positive · AI labelView post →41. Homeward Bound the incredible journey was my favorite movie as a kid I would even bring it into school and my teacher would let us watch it, I love those funny talking critters
positive · AI labelView post →Homeward Bound movie where the pets plan and execute a murder

positive · AI labelView post →Was reminded of Homeward Bound and had to go rewatch the ending. It makes me weep. Every. Single. Time. Anyone else have that movie that will make you cry without fail?

neutral · AI labelView post →Well, it made me cry. 😂😭 A pretty typical man and dog bond vs wilderness survival movie, e.g. The Grey/Homeward Bound. Lil exaggerated. You get the plot. A real good boy actor 🐶. Not heavy on milprop; showed mostly the PTSD. I liked it as a decent couch movie. And JK Simmons shows up for no reason.

Grabed some amazing lunch, drinks and then came back to their place to watch The Sheep Detectives. Surprisingly good movie. Reminded of the ones we grew up with like Homeward Bound. I really needed this day. 🙂↕️

neutral · AI labelView post →What movie made you ugly cry? Homeward Bound. The scene where the family is waiting for Shadow to come over the hill makes me cry to this very day.
positive · AI labelView post →And I just recently watched a movie from my childhood that had Sally Field in it, (Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey) only for her to be in this movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →So, today I watch Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. The remake of the 63 film. I remember adoring it as a kid and Shadow as well but it really was a film i saw only as a kid.
