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.

    Sweet and likable for all the family. Years after, The Incredible Journey still a delight remarkable odyssey and a Disney classic.

    It's the rare remake that works and improves upon its inspiration. I grew up with this film and I still cry every time I watch it. So much care was put into making this film, and it sucessfully respects the original and doesn't try to be hip for the new generation audience… More

    Homeward Bound-The Incredible Journey is the perfect family film. The film may not be flawless, but for what it is, it's a fun, charming film that kids and adults can enjoy. The film is good fun. The voice talents are good in their parts, and you see that they have fun with the… More

    As far as family films go, this one seems like one of the sweetest and least annoying. As a kid I dug this because I thought it was a really fresh and neat thing. The film hasn't held up perfectly, but it's still a nice little adventure story about endurance and the meaning… More
