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

  • 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 he 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 a remake of Fletcher Markle's The Incredible Journey (1963), which in turn was an adaptation of Sheila Burnford's book. The remake's creators decided to change the names and breeds of the main characters. Chance, the young and cheerful American Bulldog, was a Labrador Retriever named Fast in the book. Shadow, the old Golden Retriever, was a Bull Terrier named Bodger. Sassy, the Himalayan cat, was a Siamese cat named Tao.
