Tails of the city.

It's obvious that this film is a bit of a rip off of "Home Alone 2", having some of the charm of the first Homeward Bound but missing a key ingredient that would have made it as good. That ingredient is believability, another case of "Here we go again" that followed "Home Alone 2" all around Manhattan. Shadow, Chance and Sassy are all back, and Ralph Waite has stepped into the fur of the late Don Ameche as the loyal and wise Shadow, and it's a perfect transition because their voices are very similar. You wouldn't expect the aging Shadow to change, but Michael J. Fox has chance and Sally Field as sassy are back to where they were at the beginning of the film even though it is two years later. It's particularly noticeable with Sassy who is twice as "catankerous" as she was in part one.

Like the "Look Who's Talking" sequels, this gets more gimmicky with additional voices, and the combination of some bully alley dogs and a pair of animal thieves disguised as dog catchers is a rip-off of the two idiotic robbers from "Home Alone". There's a touching moment where Shadow and Sassy become hero and heroine by rescuing a young boy and a kitten from a burning building, but the romance between Chance and a female street dog is cloying and forced. Still, it's great to see the three dogs, separated at one point of course, making their way all over San Francisco, although it's ridiculous that they get to the city from the airport so quickly considering that it's really far away.

Another element that is disturbing is the character of the youngest son Jamie who for some reason seems angry at Chance (or at least bored by him) in the opening scenes, not very realistic considering how the first film ended and his worries that were shown throughout. It is still a very enjoyable film even with these major flaws, and I'm glad that they decided to end the franchise here. It's just that the lack of originality and its rip off of various other franchise rip offs does indicate that not a lot of thought was put into the creation of what could have been another modern classic.

Decent sequel, but it doesn't quite live up to its original

Homeward Bound:The Incredible Journey was a beautiful charming film, that I have loved since childhood. And maybe it is just me but I feel it is underrated as well. This sequel is inferior, but in my mind, it is decent. It does have its problems, such as the lame direction, the not-so-crisp editing and one too many slow and corny moments in the plot. But what does compensate hugely is the witty script(of which Sassy gets the majority of the best lines), the lovely soundtrack and the voice acting. Michael J Fox and Sally Field once again do fine work, and while the late Don Ameche was a lot more noble and gentle, Ralph Waite does an above average job as the voice of Shadow the Golden Retriever. The animals also did wonderfully and came very close to stealing the show, and the camera-work is often excellent. All in all, worth the look, but be warned that it doesn't quite live up to its original. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco

Disney's Homeward Bound (remake of The Incredible Journey) introduced the three talking animals, and this was the sequel that followed it, from director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2, Snakes on a Plane). Basically it's been three years since the previous events, the family are happily living in San Francisco heading for a vacation to Canada. Once again the pets somehow get left behind just after the plane takes off, so Shadow the dog (voiced by The Bodyguard's Ralph Waite, replacing Don Ameche), Chance the dog, (voiced by Michael J. Fox) and Sassy the cat (voiced by Sally Field) try to find their way back to their owners. Along the way they meet scruffy bully dogs, abandoned rebel dogs, some bumbling dog catchers in their "Blood Red Van", and Chance even finds himself a girlfriend that could distract him completely. Eventually they make it out of the city in one piece, and hardly any danger or shenanigans, and back to their owners, with Chance's girlfriend not too far behind. Also starring Airplane's Robert Hays as Bob Seaver, Kim Greist as Laura Seaver, Veronica Lauren as Hope Seaver, Kristina Lewis as Stacy, Kevin Chevalia as Jamie Seaver, Adam Goldberg as Pete, Sinbad as Riley and Stephen Tobolowsky as Bando. The animals are still lovable and fun to watch, but the lack of adventurous moments makes it is pretty boring compared to the first one. Adequate!
