Imagine your pets traveling 200 miles over mountainous terrain just to see you. What would they eat? What if a bear attacked? What if they ran into a porcupine? This Disney classic answers these questions and more with style and fun, in a story the whole family will enjoy. It tells the tale of two dogs and a cat that head for home on a 200-mile journey through the Canadian Rockies, when they are separated from the family friend who's taking care of them. With a lot of teamwork, ingenuity, and a few human friends along the way, they make it home safe and sound. Unlike the '90s remakes, the animals don't 'speak' in voice-overs--and that's a vast improvement. The narrator explains the animals' thoughts, and for their feelings, we need only look at their facial expressions. This trio can act. Watch for the scene where the Siamese cat gets into a spitting match with a lynx on a tree branch, or where he and the retriever scare off a bear that's attacking the older dog. Children under five may be a little frightened by some of the larger wild animals, but there's no violence (though one of the dogs is seen briefly carrying a dead rabbit). Children of all ages will gain respect for animals as independent, loyal, and sensitive beings; and you'll see your pet with new eyes. --Elisabeth Keating

Rating: - Finally, it's on DVD!!!
I belong to the Disney Movie Club, and this month's catalog has "The Incredible Journey" (the original!) available on DVD, widescreen, for $19.95, item #5773603. It's listed as a "Disney Exclusive" so I do not know if it will be eventually offered in stores or not. If you've been waiting as long as I have for this classic to be available in the DVD format, grab it now! Knowing Disney, they may not have it available forever. Join the club if you have to, or get a friend who's already a member to get it for you. Enjoy!!!

Rating: - Great Heartwarming Animal Adventure
My 9 year olds have always loved this movie. The loyalty and friendship of the animals are genuine. The narration was superb - easy and interesting for kids yet not boring. There are enough talking animals nowadays. These two dogs and their cat were real. The humans that crossed their path spoke, and that made for enough breaks in the narration. This movie inspired us to read the book - also good. We are now hoping for the DVD. WALT DISNEY, BRING THIS BACK ON DVD, PLEASE!

Rating: - The Original is Always Best
I hadn't seen this movie in a good 20 years. We rented the newer version for our 5 year old and were displeased with the way it was put together. The narration and animal "acting" in this one tell the story beautifully without smart-mouthed cats and farting dogs. My daughter LOVED this version and was spellbound from start to finish. If you want the Journey to be truly Incredible, stick with the Original after all, they're almost always the best.
