Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey is a 1993 film produced by Disney. It is live-action with voiceover narration and loosely based on an earlier film called The Incredible Journey, itself based on a 1961 book of the same name by Sheila Burnford. The film was the first one directed by Duwayne Dunham, who would go on to direct such films as Little Giants (1994) and Halloweentown (1998).It follows a golden retriever (Shadow), an American bulldog (Chance), and a Himalayan cat (Sassy) as they trek through the wilderness of the American northwest to be reunited with their owners. Shadow was voiced by Don Ameche, Chance by Michael J. Fox, and Sassy by Sally Field.There was a sequel released in 1996, Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco. Ameche had died back in 1993, and Ralph Waite replaced him in the role of Shadow, while Fox and Field returned to their previous roles. | |

Hero Antagonist | |

Hero Antagonist: The workers at the pound. They have nothing but the best interests of the animals at heart, and are only holding them there until their owners come get them. Also, doctors pull the porcupine spines out of Chance's face because he needs them removed, even if it hurts. Unfortunately, the animals grossly misinterpret what's happening, and cause even more trouble for themselves as a result. | |

Dare to Be Badass | |
| Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey / int_1f862cf | comment |
A much more dramatic example occurs towards the film's conclusion. Shadow falls into a hole, and appears to be too injured to continue. However, Chance jumps down in an attempt to tell Shadow that he can do it. It appears as if Shadow is ready to give up, but Chance utterly refuses to let Shadow quit, even telling Shadow that he loves him. It must have worked, because Shadow does eventually manage to get out. | |

Heroic Dog | |
| Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey / int_21af4dc3 | comment |
Heroic Dog: Both Shadow and Chance have their moments, but a big subversion comes about halfway through the movie when Shadow fails to save Sassy when she falls in the river, not that he didn't do everything he could. Sassy also gets a heroic cat moment when she engineers a plan to get everyone out of the animal shelter. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: As a prank in the beginning of the film, Chance pounces on a seesaw with Sassy on the lower end and catapults her onto the sandbox. Chance later does something very similar with a rock version, this time against a monstrous Mountain Lion that is very hungry, and in order to get rid of it for good. When Kate is leaving, she writes a note, but after closing the barn door, it then focuses on the note landing on a nearby haystack, indicating that it would become important later on. That's because the male rancher who is housesitting finds an outdated penned note in its place and thus mistakenly believed that she was taking Shadow, Chance, and Sassy to the vet. A scene only available on televised airings of the movie also has her discovering the note on the haystack while she was going to the barn with the male rancher to find out what was going on. | |

Funny Background Event: An accidental one at that: if you pay attention when Chance is jumping out of the car when they arrive at the ranch, he bumps the actor playing Jamie pretty hard against the door, causing the camera to quickly turn away when this happens as to avert the focus. | |

Please, Don't Leave Me: When Sassy initially refuses to come along — saying that it was a lovely journey, but she'll just wait for the bus — Shadow notes that she'd be left in the middle of nowhere, alone. A much more dramatic example occurs towards the film's conclusion. Shadow falls into a hole, and appears to be too injured to continue. However, Chance jumps down in an attempt to tell Shadow that he can do it. It appears as if Shadow is ready to give up, but Chance utterly refuses to let Shadow quit, even telling Shadow that he loves him.

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping | |
| Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: In the Danish dub, Sassy's voice actress Søs Egelind clearly tries to voice Sassy with an affected North Zealand accent (stereotypically associated with the upper class), but often lapses into her native Eastern Jutland accent (Jutlandic accents are stereotypically associated with rural people). Especially her way of pronouncing the words "mig" ("me") and "dig" ("you") comes off as a really weird mix between the two accents, making Sassy sound like a classy lady and a bumpkin at the same time. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: The first film is firmly set in the idealistic end of the spectrum, as the main characters are able to trek past the dangerous Sierras and return home on instinct alone, while the humans (even the pound keepers) all have the best interests for animals at heart. The sequel, on the other hand, is more decidedly realistic, as the conflict is instigated by a moment of animalistic panic, as opposed to the careful consideration of the previous film's journey; the main characters are lost in the city, with no clear path home; and the reality of pet abandonment — which was only briefly touched upon in the first film — is much more thoroughly analyzed. | |

Properly Paranoid: Shadow at one point tries to get the attention of a group of people who are looking for a little girl lost in the woods. Chance protests fearing that they will take them to the pound and lock them up. Later, that's exactly where they are taken. What Chance doesn't realize, however, is that the people who took them there had good intentions and were just trying to help the pets reunite with their owners. | |

Men Like Dogs, Women Like Cats | |
| Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey / int_3d3e4813 | comment |
Men Like Dogs, Women Like Cats: Officially, Shadow and Chance belong to Peter and Jamie, respectively, while Sassy belongs to Hope. At the beginning of the movie, the kids generally accept each other's pets, but Chance is relatively new to the family, and he doesn't exactly score points with Hope for launching Sassy into the sandbox. The kids get along well with each other too, but when the pets go missing, each is concerned about them as a group, but chiefly worried about his or her own pet. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: The animals think of the humans who sent them to the pound as this after they had helped rescue a little girl lost in the woods. It's unfortunate because the humans were extremely grateful for their help, and only sent them to the pound so they could both treat Chance for his injuries and to have a safe spot for their owners to come collect them. | |

Big Eater: Chance. A notable example is at the beginning of the film, where Chance manages to eat the entire wedding cake before the newlywed Seavers got a chance to cut it, much to the attendees' shock (and one old man's amusement). Chance later ends up regretting eating the cake when he is forced to vomit it out, apparently due to it disagreeing with his system. | |

After the pets are found, a whole string of these happen. Bob yells one after receiving a phone call about the pets being found. Then Peter delivers a string of quieter ones as he runs to join the rest of the family after school. Bob, Laura, Peter, and Hope walk into and disrupt Jamie's play rehearsal. Upon hearing the good news, Jamie cheers and drops a pumpkin he's holding, after which Bob hastily assures Jamie's teacher that the family will replace it. | |

Meaningful Echo: Near the beginning, Shadow tells Peter "You're my favorite boy in the world. I love you." Chance thinks that it's just mushy stuff. In the end, however, he comes to embrace both his family and Jaime's role as his owner. "Jaime, you smell like a million bones! You're my favorite boy in the world! I love you, Jamie!" | |

Disney Death: At the end of the first act, Sassy goes over a waterfall. She survives thanks to a nature photographer finding her. In the climax of the movie, Shadow becomes trapped after falling through the floor of an old shack. Initially we're led to believe he doesn't make it home with Sassy and Chance, but he comes over the hill just as Peter turns away. | |

Of course he's right that they should have stayed, but not because they were abandoned, but because their owners were coming back for them in a couple of weeks anyways (however a deleted scene reveals they were unable to make it, which only proved Chance right). | |

Dramatically Missing the Point: A majority of the plot occurs because the humans' motivations are misunderstood by the pets. The plot kicks off because the animals get left on a farm. Though it's only for a few days, the animals think they've been abandoned. When the animals get taken to a pound later on, it's only until their family comes to pick them up. The pets, especially Chance, think they're never coming back out, and escape. | |

Language Barrier | |
| Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey / int_a56e3cba | comment |
Language Barrier: It's shown that animals can't understand human speech, and a lot of human behavior confuses them. As such, the animals could have avoided a lot of trouble if they knew what was really going on. The animals had no idea what was going on — more than once, it's shown they don't understand human speech or some human actions, such as the phone to the ear — and so of course wouldn't understand why they'd been left in this strange place while their people drove off without them. Later, Peter tells Shadow they won't come visit them for another two weeks. Shadow partially understood him, but rather annoyed. However, in a scene from the televised airing, they couldn't make it on that day either (due to another commitment), which is the reason why the pets (except Chance) don't understand why they haven't come yet. And Kate picks a quite unfortunate place to break off her note about the animals, so that when one of the papers goes astray, the first half implies she's taken them with her on a cattle drive. This results in a heavy delay in the search for them. | |

Pounds Are Animal Prisons | |
| Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey / int_cca03e64 | comment |
Pounds Are Animal Prisons: Subverted. The animals see the pound as this, especially when Chance starts freaking out at being taken to one. But Chance only freaks out because he went to one when he was a puppy, and he believes that this is what's going to happen to them. In truth, the animal handlers really do have their best interests at heart. The only reason the three main characters are taken there are so their owners can be contacted and given back to the pets. A 'torture' given to Chance is when the pound workers remove porcupine quills he has stuck in his face. All in all, it's not animal prison, but Chance, Shadow and Sassy think it is due to their misunderstanding of what the humans are doing. | |

Composite Character: Used oddly with the dogs as compared to the book — the two characters essentially switch ages and breed types, with personality following breed type. Shadow is Luath's breed type (retriever) and stone-cold determined personality with Bodger's age, and Chance is Bodger's breed type (bully breed, though Bodger's an English bull terrier and Chance is an American bulldog) and goofy personality with Luath's age. In both versions, the younger dog gets the porcupine quills to the face and it's the older dog who almost seems like he hasn't made it home at the end. | |

Adaptation Species Change: Happened in the transition from the book The Incredible Journey to the film. They're all the same breed types as the original, although the dogs have age and personality swapped: Shadow is Luath's breed type (retriever, though Shadow is a Golden and Luath a Labrador) and stone-cold determined personality with Bodger's age, Chance is Bodger's breed type (bully breeds; Chance is an American Bulldog and Bodger an English Bull Terrier) and devil-may-care personality with Luath's young age, and Tao the male Siamese is changed into Sassy the female Himalayan (a Persian/Siamese cross). In both versions, it's the young dog who has a bad run-in with a porcupine and the old dog who almost doesn't make it home at the end. | |

Undying Loyalty: Even though Shadow doesn't understand why he was left behind, he never stops believing in Peter or trying to get back to him. Justified as dogs are already famed for their often incredible loyalty to their human companions, with Golden Retrievers like Shadow being reputed as being one of the most loving and loyal breeds. And for dogs in general. Shadow calls Chance out for not caring about their owners and thinking so little of humans, although, in Chance's defense, he's been abandoned before, something Shadow hasn't experienced. | |
