Short description
Before the Seavers leave for a family vacation to San Francisco, they drop off their pets -- Chance, an adventurous American bulldog; Shadow, a wise golden retriever; and Sassy, a cautious cat -- at a friend's ranch. But when the animals start to worry that they've been left for good, the three embark together on a treacherous and thrilling journey to find their way back home through the California wilderness.
What's left behind the scenes
- One of the few films about talking animals where the animals' muzzles don't move in sync with their words.
- The film contains two references to Arnold Schwarzenegger. In one instance, the dog Chance calls a cougar "Arnold Schwartzenkitty" (from the English "kitty" – kitten), and in another says "Hasta la vista." This phrase was uttered by Schwarzenegger's character in the science fiction action film *Terminator 2: Judgment Day* (James Cameron, 1991).
- The film is dedicated to the memory of producer Franklin R. Levy (1948-1992), who died during filming.
- The film is a remake of Fletcher Markle's *The Incredible Journey* (1963), which in turn was based on a novel by Sheila Burnford. The authors of the remake decided to change the names and breeds of the main characters. Young and cheerful American Bulldog Chance was a Labrador Retriever named Quick in the book. Old Golden Retriever Shadow was a Bull Terrier named Dodger. Himalayan cat Sassy was a Siamese cat named Tao.
