Classic family film that many have tried to copy and failed. Sweet, and uplifting, it is great for all ages

Absolutely wonderful film. Conveys how much animals love their humans and how much their humans love them beautifully. Highly recommend

Low key traumatic for childhood me, but a solid movie!

A comedic, heart-warming, tear-jerking tale of three animals finding their way home.

Talking pets! As a kid this was realistic and fun haha

For it being about animals lost in the woods, it’s actually pretty entertaining.

I love dog movies. This one is a good one - especially for kids.

The kind of movie that does what it says on the box. Charming but shallow kids movie that just…. is a kids movie. Better than the 60s one.

PERFECT. Animals with FEELINGS. Tears every 10 minutes. Shadow, Chance, Sassy ICONIC.

First movie to make me happy cry when I was younger. I thought it was amazing 25+ years ago.
