Young audiences will love following the incredible journey of two dogs and a Siamese cat as they trek across the country to find their owners. HOMEWARD BOUND features the voices of Michael J. Fox, Don Ameche, and Sally Field.
Chance, a playful, sometimes troublesome American bulldog, has recently been adopted by a happy family where he makes friends with the family's chummy pets. Together, Sassy the Himalayan cat, Shadow the retriever and Chance live contentedly. But one day the domesticated trio find themselves home alone when their young owners Peter, Hope and Jamie take a short out-of-town trip with Mom and her new hubby. Thinking they've been left behind, the animals make a harrowing journey across the Sierra Nevadas in hopes of being reunited with their long-gone family.
"Homeward Bound" is based on the 1963 Walt Disney live action story of to three pets - two dogs and a cat - who make a difficult 250 mile journey across Canada alone to find their homes and their families.
