This movie makes us fall in love with our pets over and over again.
The Big Picture Universal Picture's Strays is in theaters now, and it will certainly be interesting to see what Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx do as voice actors in an R-Rated movie about talking dogs. Though perhaps an original idea for adult audiences, anthropomorphized pets is a concept that's been explored through cinema since the silent Rin Tin Tin pictures of the 1920s.
Shadow was Don Ameche's second-to-last role, and Homeward Bound was his final film released during his lifetime. Fittingly, Ameche plays the senior Golden Retriever as an affectionate yet stern sage who is deeply committed to his people and teacherly to his fellow pets. Meanwhile, Sally Field brings her incomparable talents to Sassy, voicing the cat as a nervous, yet bossy diva who taunts her canine companions with both love and indignation. Michael J.
Homeward Bound, however, is a live-action film through and through. Not only are the dogs and cats real, but all of the side animals are played by actual bears, mountain lions, birds, fishes, and livestock. This authenticity lends the film a rich, documentary-like texture, allowing the human audience to identify with the animals perhaps even better than if they were digitally enhanced to show more anthropocentric emotions.
'Homeward Bound' Has a Compelling Script and Plot More so than the performances or the look of the film, though, Homeward Bound endures as the definitive film with talking pets because of its script. Penned by The Nightmare Before Christmas' Caroline Thompson and The Lion King's Linda Woolverton, Homeward Bound shares a sweet, funny, and relatable story for everyone to enjoy. Most importantly, it makes endearing use of its non-human protagonists and their animal minds.
