If you don't cry when Shadow comes over the hill, even though he's limping, then you have no soul.
i alwasy do
So basically I don't have a soul, even though I need one to live, so if I am dead how am I typing this?
*****
It's a metaphor. I mean that if you don't cry, than you are emotionless and cold-hearted.
***** You don't need a soul to live.... Who told you that?? Ever seen a politician?
Rocky Rococo
Exactly.
Shadow: *fought a puma, jumped in rapids, fell down a railroad pit*
Also Shadow: "oh Peter I was so worried about you, I'm so glad you're okay"
Dogs are too pure
They sure are
We don't deserve them
Oh goodness, what a weepfest!
Dogs do care about us. My son-in-law's parents have a Shetland Sheepdog who played fetch with me and brought the ball back, dropping it in my lap. Somehow, he knew I was sick. About 6 weeks later, I was diagnosed with cancer. The family came to clean my house, bringing him along. He sniffed around, looked at my daughter, and seemed to say, "This is your mom's house, but where is she?" I really wished I could have told him I was in the hospital to make him understand. Dogs can detect cancer, low blood sugar, seizures, and a lot of other things. Dog is man's best friend because "Dog spelled backward is God."
I'm almost 34 years old, I've seen this movie like 300 times, and I still cry every time.
James Conner same :)
Me too... I can help but crying, i even sob.
🙋♂️
I'm 36, and I'm balling like a baby!!
First time I watched this movie with my girlfriend I had to get up and leave the room so she didn't seem ugly cry like a baby.
Chance is coming: "I can hold it, I can hold it"
Sassy is coming: "I can hold it, I can hold it"
Shadow is coming: *CRIES HYSTERICALLY*
same here!!! no matter how many times i see it.
Ditto! sob*
same! lol
same
I don't feel so bad now. same
I can't not cry when Shadow appears. Every single time.
I love that he comes back he's the real hero!
I find it wholesome when he comes back. I hate that they had to break a dogs leg for that though :(
Sam Johnson that’s not true they animate the dog to make it look like shadows limping if they did that I would be appalled
Me too
Me too and I'm 27
chance comes over the hill.
*sniffles*
sassy turns up.
*holds it together*
peter says he was too old...
*the tears start to fall*
the music swells, shadow comes over the hill.
*sobbing occurs*
shadow tells peter he loves him and chance talks about being home
*DROWNING IN TEARS*
I forgot how emotional this was
YOU READ MY MIND!! CRY WITH ME!!!
Chance comes I started dying
It's when the HORNS kick in
Turkey Turkey
The way that Shadow says "Peter" as he stops after coming over the hill always gets to me. He just is so full of overwhelming love & relief to see him again
They both are
If you don’t get choked up at that moment you’re a horrible human being.
Correction it’s “ Oh Peter “ and sounds like a perverted old priest 😂
He sure did
@@cuddlebug8106Thank you for taking a huge dump on my childhood.
Nothing wrong with crying or tearing up at any age or any gender. Just shows we’re all good people with good hearts.
We don't deserve dogs
Yeah, I lose it every time Shadow comes over the hill. EVERY. FREAKING TIME. 21 year old male and I bawl like a baby.
Dakota Griffin ylll
I'll mm has see
39 here.
There’s no shame in “crying”, whatever your age. A true man will cry every now and again.
Madeline Tramantano there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you're not crying all the time.
My grandfather cried when we watched the movie in theaters he said he had a dog like shadow when he was a kid
It's shadow entrance that got the tears for me
sparky10142 Every time!
Agreed!
Movie a Classic!..Shadow was a vet & classic! Without him they never would've made it home
sparky10142 I cried at the same point that scene and music makes ut crying
sparky10142 , they're streaming down my cheeks... Oh why movie, why!?
Peter's reaction to seeing Shadow will always be my favorite
Yeah that is a good part. I also really love Chance running and yelling to Jamie. All through the movie he keeps saying that he doesn't need an owner and that isn't his home, and yet here he is bounding happily to little Jamie.
Cara-Marie Askew ya know to me it's his mom's reaction it's just a gasp and no one tells Peter even though they see him first for some reason that's what sets it so perfectly for the waterworks
I cry more now at 23 than I did when I was 6, 7, 8, etc.
Yup & Shadow was wise & a classic!! without him they never would've made it home
SCARY MAN me too
-Shadow appears over the hill-
Nope, I can hold it.. I can do it...
"Peter...."
*cries uncontrollably*
lmao
"Amen!!!!!
Stephen Wright morning my # 1 homeward bound partner / bro ! Stephen uh can u add me on messenger pretty please cuz i have a question bout 1 of the scenes from the movie or what ?
It’s Peter’s ”Shadow!!!” that always makes me have chills. When Shadow says ”Oh Peter! I worried about you so!”, I start crying. EVERY. Time.
I think every 90s kid wanted a dog like Shadow 😊 I love this film
I got my wish.. I received Goldie who was my golden retriever like shadow I was gonna name her shadow but found out it was a girl so the name Goldie stuck
Sandra Griffiths My wish came true and I have a 6 yr old Golden named Shadow. I love him with all my heart!!! The ending always makes me cry
Sandra Griffiths I actually use to want a dog like Chance and still do to this day. It's because of this movie that I always ended up adopting my pets while I never ended up with an American Bulldog or a cat like Sassy I still have great pets. Just something about this movie that makes you want to adopt a pet.
I did get a Golden named Shadow and had him for 11 years, seeing this reminds of him
I had a dog named shadow. She was a cocker spaniel. My 2 favorite memories of her are whenever we go to the farm I say these words "shadow we're going to the farm wanna go?" And she just comes out of the front door and into the truck. 2nd memory was whenever the mail carrier comes to deliver our mail she runs out of the house chase the mail carrier especially the male ones 🤣. Those are my favorite memories of shadow.
I'm not crying right now... Because I always find this line funny: "Sweetheart, Sassy can't breathe."
gcHK47 love this movie always have
Me too. Way better than Beethoven.
gcHK47 I like this movie more than Beethoven but Beethoven was still a great movie
i think that was add lib do to just how the girl was holding the cat and it just the right time to add a funny line before a heartbreaking entrance.
@@sassbrat like the kid who did Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter forgot his line so he said I didn't know you could read 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
when shadow shows up and the music drops i lose it
as soon as he appeared over that hill I cried. Shadow fought the hardest out of all the animals to return to his boy and refused to give up, even when he looked death in the eye time and time again. nobody deserved this more than Shadow did
Shadow makes you think about older dogs and how powerfully there love can be and even if they are old and grey they will always will act young and happy.
My Uncle had a dog like that someone hurt him when he was away and he was very old look like someone hit his leg with a object nothing they could do for him... He was so old my elderly uncle had to help him get to his food bowl. That vet had a hard time trying to put him to sleep it took almost more then five doses before it took affect. The nurse and vet were almost in tears cause of how much that old dog fought for his life just because he didn't want to leave my uncle by himself. My uncle died near the end of that year from a massive stroke. Scenes like this really hit me on a emotional scale cause of that
My Old lady died I miss her every day
Very true. I do love that they had the best dog actor for this scene since all of Shadow's actors were not even 2 at the time and crew had an issue with the dogs trying to eat the make up that made Shadow look old.
I always make it up until Shadow limps on screen and that fuckin music starts playing. :'(
Same here, but I don't cry. I just get goosebumps. Same for you?
+Nanotyrannus Lancesis nope, i cry. I'm a 30 year old man, btw.
it's barely the scene that,makes me cry. it's the music.
Kiara Kaionai ikr
Kiara Kaionai music and screen
God damn this gets me every time, it's even worse to think they've passed away. Rest in peace.
Y u do dis, i cri evritym
Stop... QAQ
Who did
Itz Daisy Shadow, Chance and Sassy :(
Bennage aww so sad :(
No joke, Shadow coming over the hill always makes me tear up. If the visuals don't break you, the music will.
I've seen this movie countless times and even though I know exactly what's going to happen I always end up crying no matter how much I try to hold back.
This was my favorite movie as a child. I've watched it soooo many times and I always cry.
😭😢
Same😭😭😭
I lose it every-time at:
2:38
"...Peter."
Damn what a fine movie and amazing voicing role for Don Ameche to go out on
I saw this movie when I was 3 years old and instantly knew that I wanted a "Shadow Dog". My mom promised me that if I was good/behaved that I could get a "Shadow Dog" when I turned 10 (Golden Retriever on my Golden Birthday). I spent most of my childhood planning for my Golden Retriever 'Shadow', but my mom made it seem like she wasn't going to be able to get him for me as I got older. However, after school on my 10th birthday, she surprised me and had me pose for a picture while her friend plopped my baby Shadow into my arms.
Getting to grow up with Shadow was the biggest blessing ever-- he was my best friend and taught me so much about empathy and love. He was always there for me whenever I was having a rough day. I always hated having to leave him when I moved to NYC for college, but I looked forward to being able to see him during breaks.
Yesterday while I was at work, I got a FaceTime from my mom at the vet. Shadow was getting too old and was suffering too much, and putting him down was clearly what was right for him. I got to say goodbye to him and watch him fall asleep for the last time. I miss him so much already. I wouldn't be where I am in life right now if it were not for receiving the greatest gifts eleven and a half years ago. RIP Shadow
I was laughing slightly when sassy "Sweetie heart sassy can't breathe."
Just hearing Don Ameche saying that one line gets me teared up, "Peter." This was second to his last film and hearing his voice one last time really touches the heart.
Musical score after Shadow says ”I worried about you so” (and when he and Peter start running towards each other) - THAT’s what brings tears to my eyes.
Peter: the one person Shadow would climb out of any hole. Chance must have realized that and asked "What about Peter?" Cause who can forgot how sad Peter was to leave him at the farm.
"Looks like the family's back together, huh?"
(Looks at Peter)
Ouch, man.
and he's just thinking when am i going to learn to keep my big mouth shut
90s movies *really* hated step-parents.
Every time Shadow comes over the hill, “OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN” I’m done
"He was old. It was too far. He was too old."
Shadow: Hold my bone, bitches.
Me: I've never been so happy to see a living thing returned home safe in my life.
I was happier to see Shadow come home, than my parents were to see me come home from Iraq
"I missed you, Peter, and I love you!" ;_; *BRB, bawling forever*
Same...and also, thanks for not spelling it "balling." * major pet peeve * 😁😉
You made it that far without bawling?!? I'm impressed because I'm gone by the time Peter says, "It was too far he was just too old."
khfan4life365 Some say, you're still bawling to this day.
This movie played a huge role in my childhood. This movie inspires children to love and respect animals. It's probably just me not being a child at this point in time (I'm 25) but I feel that the entertainment industry copy and pastes children's movies and shows, putting very little effort into them.
This was the first film I ever remembered crying in. When Shadow came limping over that hill I was literally bawling my eyes out and jumping up and down with excitement. Granted I was 8 back then but I still tear up a little even now.
I'll admit, i cried like a baby
Shadow's leg is beat up and he's a muddy mess and he's only worried about Peter. All of his dialogue is "i worried about you" and "i thought about you all the time." Just so awesome. Shows you the heart of a dog.
I would love to see this become a trending UA-cam reaction video sensation.
SaveTheWells 90s Kids React or Thirty Somethings React.
I recall shadow had been injured right before, and even the other animals (and us, the audience watching) thought Shadow wouldn't make it home. So when he comes over the hill with the music swelling it's the most emotional moment you'll ever experience!
The moment Shadow shows up, I lose it, just... bawl like a baby T__T
I've cried. Thanks for this golden piece, such a great nostalgia.
it's impossible to watch this without tearing up or crying, especially if your an animal lover.
AMEN!
Right in the childhood!
*Chance coming over the hill:* I'm so happy, eyes are starting to burn!
*Sassy cute meows and runs over the hill:* Oh, god my heart. My eyes are all blurry I CAN'T SEE
*Shadow limping over the hill:* bawls
Voices of Michael J. Fox , Sally Field and Don Amechi were perfect. Don Amechi's voice as Shadow exudes so much wisdom and love. Great movie. I saw the original Disney movie "The Incredible Journey" along with "Old Yeller" as a double feature back in the 60's with my dad. A cherished memory.
So, the scene with Shadow and Peter always made me cry right? Well, I went to basic for 5 months and my dog Rocky, was about 12-13. Well, as time progressed, my little dog got worse. He was blind and deaf, and then got hit by a car on my moms birthday. My whole family was devestated and didn't tell me till I graduated. Now the part with Peter and Shadow makes me cry even harder because I never got to have that with my dog. :-(
Stop. Cutting. Onions ;_;
I had a dog called Rocky he wasn't that old but someone took him up to the forth road bridge and let him go and he was on his way home, but he got hit by a police car. He only had to cross one more lane and he would have been fine. He died on my brother's birthday. What the police done was sickening put him in a black bin back and put him behind one of the bins. Everyone went out looking for him that night. Couldn't find him. My uncle went out looking the next day and found him. My mum had to go out and see if it was him. She opened it up and saw his white paw and that was it she was howling in the street our neighbours seen her and they started crying. He was an amazing dog. Got 2 dogs now and my mum looks really similar to him .I still miss him loads. Really sorry to hear about your dog. Why did they wait until you graduated?
Damn Lisa. Im sorry about your dog Rocky. That's heartbreaking. It's so sad when a pet dies , because it's like a member of the family. That's so sad. You never really stop missing your pets :( & They waited until I graduated because I had a lot of tests and exams to do to graduate, and they didn't want to stress me out even more. Plus, if they had told me what could I have done? I wasn't even close to being home, I was miles away. /:
Ashey Jimenez It is that. Pets are a member of the family you get people saying oh its just a dog or its just a cat. But until they experience it they have no idea. I cried my heart out when my hamster died. She was one of a kind. No other hamster could replace Shier-lee. She got out once when I was cleaning her cage out she managed to undo the bars from the side how she did that I'll never know lol anyway she started walking and went behind the poofy my mum noticed and her reply was shit lisa your hamster's out so I called her name and she turned around and came right back to me and sat on my lap until her cage was done my mum's face was priceless she went oh a hamster that listens to you. She was the best you ask her to give you a paw she'd do it you told her to stand she'd do it beg, high five, kisses, turn she'd do them all. I had her for a few months she was only 9 months old when she passed she had two eye infections and an ulcer inside her mouth which I didn't know until she passed hamster's a very clever at hiding their illnesses. I had a hamster Remy before and after she passed got him a couple of months after her he died of old age but a couple of days before he got out don't know how my mum spoke to her neighbour about him being gone and our other neighbour noticed his cat had something and he was like that doesn't look like a mouse so our neighbour told him well he was hitting the cat because the cat refused to let go. Eventually the cat did let go I got him back there was no cuts on him he wasn't bleeding sadly he died 2 days later. Got another hamster Akira now. But all the animals I've got I have 13 pets the now. My mum and dad always said no more pets well that didn't work out. Haha. I feed them, clean them, give them water, so they don't really grumble on it too much. The only food they help out with mainly is the dog food got 2 one is mine and the other is a family dog which still makes him mine even know he calls my mum his mum literally he says my mum. Sometimes they'll help out on the rabbit food and the hamster and gerbil food they 2 get the same Akira used to get just hamster food she used to be a picky wee shite but she ran out of her food one day and the hamster gerbil food was the only one available and she finally started eating it. So I stuck with that. The only food they don't help out on is the degu food but if I needed their help they'd do it. Sorry for rambling on here. Were you kind of annoyed at first that they didn't tell you right away? If it was me I'd be but then realise why they did it. If they did tell there's not much you could have done. How long was it that he died by the time you graduated? If you don't mind me asking?
such a basic story
“Try not to cry or tear up” bro I can’t even THINK about this scene without crying
Peter was the reason Shadow decided to live and continue on his journey, he was his strength and motivation.
I grew up loving this movie
And I still love it to this day
My eyes are fucking waterfalls
I failed this test.
Still I totally love this scene! I just can't help myself. It's one of the 100 best film endings I've ever seen!
I think Michael j fox did an amazing voice over in this scene I saw this movie when I was 5 I'm 19 today and in the marine core and I still nearly cry when I see this
marine corps*
+Luke Scates I totally agree with you! He also did a great job with the narration of the movie as well. To be honest though, out of the movies that I've seen with Michael J. Fox in or in a voice over role, I thought he did an amazing job, just an amazing actor. I think his best work had to have been in the Back to the Future trilogy. Part 2 especially, when he had to play 3 characters Marty, Marty Jr and Marlene.
@i'm only here for the beer Sure is!!! To this day shows and movies and people pay homage to it. I was just watched an episode of 13 Reasons Why and in one of the scenes Ani sees a DeLorean in Bryce's grandfather's garage and she says "I'm sending you back to the future!" I had to back up just to hear her say that again.
@i'm only here for the beer No, I haven't seen that movie, but that sounds awesome! When you said about Doc saying the DeLorean is a science experiment, it reminds me of the scene from part III when the conductor of the train says "Is this a hold up?" and Doc says "No! It's a science experiment!"
@i'm only here for the beer I'm pretty sure as well.
I'm 31 turning 32 next month, anything sad makes me scared but shadow comes out, my tears can't stop. One of my childhood memories
Same here! 90’s were the best weren’t they?
When Chance blasts into view I always choke. Then during Sassy's rather understated arrival and the jokes about not being able to breathe I am able to re-compose myself. Then Peter says Shadow was too old and I'm still okay. Then he comes into view and the mom sort of gasps and that's it, I'm gone. Knowing what comes next I am just gone.
GamerXScape That is my EXACT reaction too!
Same words, friend’
I created a new ocean with my tears while watching this.
Nice ima swim in it
"sweetheart sassy can't breathe" that line always makes me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
This movie made an entire generation of kids want an old dog like Shadow.
What a good boy!
I ALWAYS cry at 2:38.
No matter what mood i'm in. :'(
So do I, especially when Shadow shows up
the face that inspired a generation
I'm crying from the moment they hear barking haha
Same, even when I just turn the TV on to the Disney movie channel and see this scene, always choke up
yeah i cried sorry just recently lost my mother and this movie reminded me of great time when i was younger...... Thank God for this movie
Jewaun Glenn I am so sorry for your loss. I too had great memories watching this with my mother- thank god she is still alive- so I can only imagine what you're going through.
This movie is PERFFECTION! I completely adore Shadow .. golden retrievers are soooo not from this world 💜
There's something about when Shadow comes limping up the hill & says "Peter" that it's impossible not to cry. You can hear the relief in his voice to finally see his boy (safe) & it was worth the long journey
I used to watch this movie with my dog Mac when I was a kid. He seemed to really like this movie he would always stare at the TV watching it hearing the dogs bark. I miss Mac a lot. We had to put him down in 2006 before my senior year. So whenever I see this movie especially this part with shadow I cry like a little baby.
rip mac
I'm sorry for your loss. But your profile pic is pretty!
Awww thank you. I love Cherry Blossoms they are soooo pretty. ^_^
achapril I know! X3 (R.I.P Mac)
That's the exact thing that my dog kaya did as well! One time we took her and my other dog roxy to camping right on a beach, and they both went swimming and yeah, but before we were about to start a campfire, she was just lying on the ground. She puked a little bit so we thought she swallowed too much water, and she was like that the whole night. Even roxy was staying by her, making sure she's ok. But then, one time when my mom got up to go get a drink in the middle of the night, kaya was dead on the floor, with roxy beside her whimpering and her head bowed down. She was only 4 years old and roxy was only 3 at the time....
After that, Roxy was not her normal self. She used to always just sit by the staircase, staring at the picture of kaya. When she finally got over it, she was playing, and barking, a normal dog. But she still sat by the staircase sometimes, not remembering why. She is now almost 9 years old and is being better
That's the guy from Airplane.
What a pisser.
He has a drinking problem.
Anyway, I hope this hasn't been boring for you...
Shirley you don't believe that to be true?
durpinator looks like you picked the wrong week to memorize movie actors
God. Seeing Shadow emerge over that hill gets me every time. I literally start tearing up every single time.
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this I still cry every time.
I have 2 golden retrievers so I can’t help but sob. In scenes like this I find myself grabbing onto them and telling them I love them.
One of my favorite happy endings! Chance, Sassy, and Shadow all showed up back home! I love it very much!
Been watching this movie since I was 3! Now 30 years later it still gets me!
I love the sound of trumpets when Shadows crests the hill. They sound warm and triumphant.
I bought these two movies on DVD the other day and just watched them. I never cried when I watched these as a little kid but I did today when Shadow came over the hill.
I tried to be the cool kid who didn't cry, but this movie, god damn, there is not enough cool in the world.
2:25 OH NO WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS IN MY ROOM?
Penny sorry
"...Peter."
*Tears up and starts to sob uncontrollably*
When you truly love someone, you will always find your way back to them because home is where the heart is.
Okay, it's been a few years, this'll be fine!
*Starts Video*
Okay, just normal.
*Chance comes back*
Oh god... It's so adorable! Okay, don't cry, don't cry.
*Sassy walks in*
COMPOSE MYSELF!
*Peter thinks Shadow is dead*
Poor Peter... Aww...
*Shadow comes back*
I failed the test...
I loved this movie as a kid, this part always made me tear up. Great movie ❤️
I remember when I saw this in theaters as a kid, I cried all the way back to the car.
They could not have found a better dog to play Shadow, and after reading about Ben aka Shadow's antics after the movie, makes me love him even more.
This line: "It was Shadow's victory really. His belief is what got us through, and in that moment I saw the years lift from him. He was a puppy again, reunited with his best friend." Melts my heart.
1:29
Hope: Oh, Sassy I'll never let you go again. Never, never. (squeezes Sassy)
Sassy: Oh! Sweetheart, Sassy can't breath.
No tears is impossible!
Not gonna cry this time. Nope, nuh-uh, not gonna do it. (chokes up a second in) GODDAMMMIT! (cue the ocular gushers) 😭
i don't cry very often... but this... this just pulls at them stings like nothing else!
قطط روعه
I loved it when Chance came over the hill, I started to cry at that moment. By the time Sassy and Shadow came over the hill, well let’s say Kleenex made a great profit on me that day. I never had a movie do that to me. I’ve cried, but this one really made me to really bawl. I’m 63 and I’ll still watch it every once in awhile. Get ready to start up crying again.
I legit haven’t seen this in years and still ended up crying again when I saw this 😭
I am a teacher and I almost cried in a classroom full of 6 year olds when Shadow came back!
Every time I watch this scene it never fails to make me cry and I'm 24 years old haha
I must have seen this film at least 20times, so I know shadow comes back in the end but I'm still a blubbering mess when it looks like hes not made it.
This is beautiful, the fact that it makes you cry, even IF you still had the belief that he'd make it home. Thank you Disney, for the wonderful memories from childhood. (个_个)
This is an unbeatable test. This killed my feelings when I was 7...
I still think the ending to Marley and Me makes me cry more, only because it's a man saying goodbye forever to his dog. I was completely unprepared for that and BAWLED like a baby My first time watching Marley. Not cried, but Bawled- you can hear me crying from across the aisles. But that's okay because everyone else was too.
At the ending of Homeward Bound, I did cry a little because I was happy for Shadow Chance and Sassy and for their family for getting them back. It's a happy ending.
I totally agree... To an extent. But here's the difference: With Marley, we saw the progression of a puppy to a dog - but the human characters were adults. Marley was a pain in the ass but he was like the eldest kid... And when he passed, it was a their child, or an early part of their relationship dying. With Shadow... And Sassy... And Chance... A lot of us saw this movie (and heard the "true story") as kids and related to our childhood pets. There's a difference when a pet is almost your age... Especially when that animal relates to you and takes care of you (ie: Chance to Jamie, Sassy to Hope, Shadow to Peter). And when that older animal, who you look to as your family emblem and your childhood love, passes away, it's so FUCKING hard. Shadow *maybe* not making it represents Peter becoming a man...
Sitizen Kane this and the end to turner and hooch gets me everytime
I stopped the movie when marley got sick. I knew what was coming. I only watch animal movies with happy endings... I can't stand when hollywood kills off a pet just to make you cry. The animals here make it home and that's why you cry! HAPPY TEARS!
@@Elisheval Please watch A Dog's Way Home. I went to see it at the movies. You will love it. It's about beautiful precious baby girl Bella making her way back home to Lucas. Bella meets furry friends along the way, before she reunites with Lucas. There's happy ending with Bella and Lucas, and happy endings for Bella's furry friends.
When Shadow comes limping over the hill.....I broke. That music, the little boys reaction. How can you not cry or at least want to? Wonderful, classic movie.
This ending scene of Homeward Bound of Sassy, Chance, and Shadow running home to their owners and kids always makes me cry!! SO EMOTIONAL!!!
32 years old and I saw this movie a dozen times as a kid. Still freaking tearing up.
No matter how old I get, this ending always gets me
As someone who just lost a golden retriever of 16 years, this scene gets to me. Such a beautiful and bittersweet scene. Really shows the love between a man and his dog.
I love this movie. I can watch this a million times over & never get bored & cry my heart out with the happy endings
The best part about this is that both the acting and the voice acting are absolutely terrible.
And it still makes me cry
Honestly I think the music is the only reason I still go back and watch this movie--it delivers what the acting can't.
T Wag Agreed 100%. It was a bit of a cheesy family movie, but DAMN did the music stick around. That classic part of the score that plays here when shadow shows up...I can still hum it at given time, even...jesus, is this 22 years old already?!
Tinil0 im 19 and I remember the tune from when I watched this when I was a little kid xD
+Tinil0 I can still hum it to! I loved the soundtrack for this movie when I was a kid, especially that particular song and I still do. This remains one of my favorite movies to this day.
+Lia Hansen
For me, it's the music _and_ the bad acting. It all serves to lend this movie a wholesome, feel-good atmosphere. Really, it brings me back to the days when I could watch a movie virtually free of over-analyzing . Y'know? The older you get, the more picky your taste in movies become. But this... I guess it's kinda like that scene in Ratatouille where the food critic (Ego?) takes a bite out of the ratatouille and immediately has a change of heart when he flashbacks to his mother's cooking.
I think there are three main factors that bring me to tears with Homeward Bound: 1) Definitely that score, 2) Shadow limping slowly into view, and 3) the days of my long-lost innocence. Also, I always thought the voice actors for Chance (Michael J. Fox), Sassy (Sally Field), and Shadow (Don Ameche) couldn't have been cast any better. Really suited the animals and characters well. As for the people, child actors are hardly ever incredible, and especially in '90s Disney flicks.
BUT, the production values here were steel-tight in gold. It's hard to replicate this same feeling in modern cinema. The raw emotional power, the ability of filmmakers to leave you invested in three household pets being dubbed over by more than likely phoned-in performances, and those sweeping wilderness shots. The closest thing I can liken this film to is a Thomas Kinkade painting -- sappy, but ever-captivating.
“He’s old. It was just too far. He was too old...”
“Oh, Peter. Honey...”
**music swells**
W-why is my throat so tight...
If 3:00 were the actual rest of the ending, this would have been considered an avant garde arthouse masterpiece.
Soon as chance cleared that hill i started sobbing
The scene with Peter and Shadow never fails to make me smile!
when chance ran over that hill I smiled, when sassy cam over, the tears started, the shadow came and a waterfall fell from my eyes
I cried when tears of joy when Chance and Sassy came over the hill, cried tears of sorrow when Shadow didn't come, then tears of joy came back when the old wise dog came over the hill. Homeward Bound is my top favorite animal movie of my childhood!
I can never hold it together when I see this scene.
