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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Heartwarming Animal AdventureMy 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:  - DVD, please!This is a good movie. I wish Disney would release this on DVD. Rating: - what are you waiting for???????please release dvd........................... this is a great movie. Rating: - The Original is Always BestI 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. Rating: - this is the better movie - no contestThis 1963 version of Incredible Journey is so much better than the 1990's version it's hard to know where to start. In the first place, the animals in this movie are the breeds and characters of the book. With all due respect to the talents of M. J. Fox, D. Ameche and S. Struthers (the voices in the newer movie), one of the great joys of the original is that the only voice for most of the movie is Rex Allen's voice over. The animals tell the story here, just as they do in the book, and they do ... Read More |
