Clearly inspired by Homeward Bound


Looks much like Homeward Bound, just with one dog having to find its way home instead of a trio.

Neither looks great nor bad, in my opinion. Probably will be fun for any dog lover.

Yeah, and Disney did several, including the 1963 original, Saw it, esp.as a first time viewer, the happy ending is REALLY magical../ but then, all dogs are.

Who’s a good puppy

Clearly inspired by ''A dogs purpose''. Both completely mediocre films by the way.

I look forward to seeing this one. There are plenty of positive reviews for this on IMDb.

I think it will be of interest to fans of the two 'Homeward Bound' movies. Also those who like 'The Incredible Journey' (1963).

It's like Homeward Bound but it's not as good. The energy is low and sad throughout almost the entire movie. Lots of death and loss for a kid movie.

reply

That sounds lame. If that's really how the film is, I'll probably skip it.

Dog movies should be fun. A lot of fun.

I wasn't necessarily sorry that I watched it but I turned it on with my 8 year old nephews and I got a little concerned about the themes it brought up for a kid movie (mostly how it dealt with death, the homeless, and pet abandonment). It seemed too out-there to be bslievable or entertaining for adults and it also seemed too depressing for kids. It seemed kind of dark for a kid movie. I think I need to go wash my brain and rewatch Homeward Bound!

Homeward Bound is great! I rewatched it for the first time in years just a little while ago and it's still a lot of fun. If you're considering it, definitely give it a go.
