Plot: Chance is an American bulldog, Shadow is a Golden Retriever and Sassy is a Himalayan cat are the pets of a loving family. The family goes on a trip to San Francisco and leave the pets with a family friend. Feeling that they've been abandoned and with Shadow worrying about the young son Peter, they decide to go find them. The animals go on a wild and sometimes dangerous journey to go back home. Will they succeed?
Review: This is a great family movie. This is a film adaptation of the 1963 novel. What I like about the plot is that it really shows us the perspective of what the animals are feeling, which I like. This is a Disney movie, so of course the animals talk telepathically and the animals don't talk in the book.
The film has a good balance of humor and drama. The humor is appealing to kids but might also appeal to adults.
Some kids might find the movie slightly scary or intense during certain scenes where the pets are in the wilderness. But there's nothing seriously dramatic and I would think that most kids would be fine, but some might not.
This is simply a touching, entertaining and heartwarming story and film for the entire family.
Rating: 4/5
