  • Homeward Bound II: Lost In San Francisco
  • Your favorite trio of talking animals is back in this action-packed Disney adventure that'll have the whole family bursting with excitement and laughter! Michael J. Fox, Sally Field, and Ralph Waite supply the voices of Chance, the American bulldog; Sassy, the Himalayan cat; and Shadow, the golden retriever -- and Sinbad speaks for their newfound canine friend, Riley -- in this critically acclaimed sequel to Disney's now-classic HOMEWARD BOUND: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY. When the pets accidentally get separated from their vacationing owners, Chance, Shadow, and Sassy navigate the mean streets of San Francisco, trying to find their home across the Golden Gate Bridge. But the road is blocked by a series of hazards, both man and beast. It's another incredible journey for three very brave, very lovable pets, in a thrilling, funny adventure that's 'bound to please' (New York Post) the entire family!

    So pathetic, that the filmmakers are not above making gay jokes about animals in San Francisco!

    The tone is ideal for a family audience. The length is perfect. And the sequence of last-minute surprises elicits tears and laughter in just the right proportions.

    This sequel is serviceable family-market fodder, but even little children might expect something more sophisticated these days.

    A silly little trifle with more wisecracks than laughs.

    Like the first Homeward Bound, this one has some very nice elements, including wonderful camera work.

    Full of the cute doggie tricks, big noisy adventure sequences and the usual anthropomorphic bits of action and dialogue that children will love.

    Taken on its own entirely hokey terms, Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco is a charming romp of a talking animal movie.

    Wee urbanites might find Disney's scorn for city life a shade offputting, but if preview audiences are any indication, little ones will laugh their tiny heinies off at the humor herein.

    The first movie was good-hearted and I liked it, but since then Babe has raised the bar, with animals that not only talk more realistically, but say things that are wittier and more pungent.

    It does a better job than most family films in projecting a child's-eye view of a world where siblings and pets are equally cherished members of the family.

    The plot is nothing more than a recycled version of the first one, but hey, it is still funny and there are many great lines.

    It's more padded than Lassie's bed. But 9-and-unders were having a tail-wagging good time.
