A misunderstanding leads the animals to mistakenly believe that they have been abandoned by their loved ones, when in reality they have been left in the care of a friend while the family has moved from the country to the city for the father to take a temporary assignment . All three pets--a golden retriever (Don Ameche), a cat (Sally Field), and a bulldog puppy (Michael J. Fox)--can talk, and they bicker and crack jokes as they set off on a truly incredible journey chock full of misadventures as they wend their way back to their owners. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Brian Lowry, Variety
A sprightly little entertainment that should enthrall tots without straining the patience of their parents.
-
Jeff Menell, Hollywood Reporter
[A] delightful remake.
-
Wally Hammond, Time Out
Totally uncorrupting.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
This film is clever even with its human actors, dispensing with the first film's animal-loving hermits and playing up the importance of a cute, newly typical American family.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Even the most televisionally overstimulated will likely enjoy this boy-and-his-dog movie -- which also happens to be a girl-and-her-cat movie too.
