Homeward Bound: The Ultimate Family Adventure

For Food & Family Month, the So Many Sequels crew dives into one of the most beloved family films of the 1990s — Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993). This week, Josh, Garrett, and David revisit the heartfelt animal adventure featuring Chance, Shadow, and Sassy, exploring why this simple story about loyalty and family still resonates decades later.

From tear-jerker moments to standout voice performances (Michael J. Fox! Don Ameche! Sally Field!), we break down the film’s emotional beats, practical animal work, and how it stacks up against today’s CGI-heavy family movies. We also debate which pet we’d be in the Homeward Bound universe, share childhood memories tied to the film, and talk about why the ending still hits hard.

It’s cozy, heartfelt, nostalgic, and absolutely perfect for the season.
