Walt Disney studios had previously adapted Sheila Burnford's classic animal-adventure novel The Incredible Journey in 1963, and the story proves just as durable in this popular 1993 version, in which the heroic trio of animals are given voices provided by Don Ameche, Michael J. Fox, and Sally Field. They don't actually speak (like the clever critters in Babe), but we hear their "voices" as the lost household pets--Shadow the golden retriever, Chance the bulldog, and Sassy the cat--survive a harrowing series of adventures as they struggle to find their way home. Perfect entertainment for kids, this frequently clever movie offers an abundance of wildlife and beautiful location scenery, and the vocal performances by Ameche, Fox, and Field are surprisingly effective. A hit with parents and children alike, the film was followed by a sequel in 1996. --Jeff Shannon

KIDS WORE THE VHS OUT WHEN YOUNGER!:
My first child (now 16) wore this video out and LOVED it! So, i'm replacing it with a DVD for my younger one and the one with autism. Awesome family classic in my opinion! Funny! And it has a happy ending! Love Michael J Fox, Sally Field & Don Ameche voices.... PERFECT casting!
poor quality sound mid-dvd:
I bought the video close to one month before viewing it. The sound quality about mid-dvd decreases and audio comes in and out. I have not informed the seller, to give an opportunity to reconcile.
Childs Movie:
My granddaughter (3 yrs) had watched this movie on television, she showed so much enthusiasm while viewing that I had to buy it for her, she loves the two movies in the series. She now owns both.
Wonderful:
This product came in a very timely fashion and was in great shape. Would order from this person again.
