The Homeward Bound film series is comprised of two films released in the 1990s by Walt Disney Productions that are loosely based on their 1960s adventure/nature film "The Incredible Journey" which was based on the best-selling book by Canadian author Shella Burnfeld .
The films focused on the adventures of two dogs, an elderly golden retriever named Shadow (voiced by Don Ameche), an excitable American bulldog known as Chance (voiced by Michael J. Fox), and a Himalayan cat named Sassy (voiced by Sally Field), who are separated from their humans while on vacation.
Homeward Bound is also the title of a science fiction novel by Harry Turtledove, the eighth in his Worldwar series.
