Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

1993, English. Directed by Duwayne Dunham.

In the classic tradition of Walt Disney Pictures comes a story about courage, adventure and friendship.

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.
