An unlikely trio of pets -- aging bull terrier Bodger, spry Labrador retriever Luath, and Siamese cat Tao -- begin missing their owners after being dropped off for the summer with a friend of the family, John Longridge (Emile Genest), who lives across the country from them. Their loneliness becomes unbearable, however, when John leaves on an extended camping trip. The three animals resolve to find their way back home, no matter how difficult -- and even if that means journeying over 250 miles.

Euan P Cool movie, perfectly matches its title. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Russell H Cute adventure with pets by themselves Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review steve d Inferior in every way to the remake. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember seeing Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey when I was a kid. So it was hard to not compare the two movies. It is basically the same story, but in this one the animals do not talk and the story is narrated with the occasional human interaction with the animals. Enjoyable, but knowing the upcoming movie is better I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to see and compare the movies like I did. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Bem bonitinho, como todo filme de bichinhos, que falam sem mexer a boquinha (coisa que incomodava aos montes uma miga, a mim nunca fez muita diferença), o filme guarda semelhanças com o livro, com breves e simples alterações, uma produção delicada, singela, gentil e bonita... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The best movie involves pets. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
