Kevin McManus Washington Post 04/02/2003
The tone is ideal for a family audience. The length is perfect. And the sequence of last-minute surprises elicits tears and laughter in just the right proportions. Go to Full Review

3/5
It does a better job than most family films in projecting a child's-eye view of a world where siblings and pets are equally cherished members of the family. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
2/4
The first movie was good-hearted and I liked it, but since then Babe has raised the bar, with animals that not only talk more realistically, but say things that are wittier and more pungent. Go to Full Review

It's all pretty routine, and it's highly predictable, but the little ones giggled heartily at the screening I attended, and the parents were diverted. Go to Full Review

Definitely not as good as the first. Go to Full Review

So pathetic, that the filmmakers are not above making gay jokes about animals in San Francisco! Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 19 Success in 1 hour and 28 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $32,800,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dubbed and subtitled in worldwide studios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Julia S Jun 6 the movie is the best i saw and found out there was a homeward bound 2 it is asome See more Student: Jake M 10/28/2024 This movie is totally terrific! I love it how they discovered the city and learned about kindness to escape from the blood red van and Ashcan and Pete. Shadow, Chance, and Sassy were lost in a city but curiously discovered new life and new adventures in order to go back home unlike the mountains. Delilah was very sweet and attractive to Chance in this movie but Bando won’t let her go. Riley’s gang successfully got rid of the blood red van. I give this movie a 100 out of 100. I wish there was a third Homeward Bound movie but this is the final installment of the Homeward Bound franchise. See more Betsy S 06/08/2024 not as good as the original, but it's not trying to be either. it does its job as a cute sequel, which is fine for kids. See more Chris M 03/14/2023 There is only one reason this sequel exists. The first movie made money. If they had to make a sequel I wish they had a better story than Chance being annoying. Like the animals were take by taken. Looking at their property they obvious have some money. The animals break free of their captures and try to get through San Francisco that way. With kidnappers after them. That would worked better than the humans not sedating the animals, which is recommended. Or Chance's crate breaking open so fucking easily. Speaking of the villains, the street dogs are cliché and the roaming goons who sell any unattended dogs to illegal testing is creepy and felt tacked on. As they are barely in it. The animalnappers makes more sense. Plus this one is slower. But it's not horrible, just a step down from the first movie. It's funny and the animals are cute. It's still worth checking out, especially if you love the first one. See more 02/27/2023 It was a pretty enjoyable and very fun Disney live-action movie sequel. It had very well done cinematography, very superb cast, really phenomenal characters, very good comedy, really exciting adventure, very cool action, really wonderful music and a very excellent story. It’s not as good as the first “Homeward Bound” movie, but I enjoyed it. Fans of “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey” will enjoy this movie. See more Read all reviews
