My favorite part of this scene was, after everything the animals had been through, almost dying, Shadow says as he's running to Peter: "Peter....you're okay!!!" He was worried about Peter the whole time.
You talk about a movie that would make me cry and wallow. THIS would be it! I watched this movie so much when I was little and I would STILL cry when Shadow walked up the hill. Genius movie.
just watched this movie and i swear it gets me everytime i see Shadow go over the hill:,) i swear it's the only movie i can cry on when shadow gets stuck gets me and same with the scene when sassy goes down the river...... yet i can't cry during the notebook... this movie brings me back :,)
@Hassenmusic Are you referring me? I'm sorry, you responded on your own comment but, yeah, I do hum it. Actually, I feel it more in the heart, 'cause it reminds me how they get reunited with who they love. It is such a great theme.
I remember last time I saw this movie, it was with my sister. Neither of us had seen in for years, and we both started basically sobbing when Shadow got home.
@Wolfie238 I ran into an old shaggy golden at Petsmart last Saturday. The owner was an old, yet classy delicate lady. I saw the name tag being Shadow. She said her grandchildren, when they were young 'named him that after a movie called Homeward Bound.' She didn't think I'd know the movie. Made her day when I told her my dogs name is Chance and also have a cat named Sassy. She was happy my childhood didn't go anywhere :)
would you send me just the song without the video at basket_jennie@hotmail.com.. That would be so niceee :) I can't find it on the web :( neather buy it :( Thank you :)
Man, I got a Golden Retriever because of this movie. She died last year at the age of 11 from cancer so this movie/soundtrack hits me seriously hard these days.
Just remembering shadow coming over that hill...well...Peter was pretty lucky.
Truly an unforgettable movie. It reminds us that pets are more than just animals living under our roofs.
@inumanj I am so sorry to hear that. I just lost my dog a year and a half ago. She died at age 15 on move-in day of college. August 30th, 2009. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet, and I think that that is why I am hit so hard by this movie/soundtrack as well.
Love how all the moments of the song indicate which animal is coming. They all have distinctly different instruments to display their personalities. Awesome soundtrack. ^^
The score to this film has a little bit of Copland in it. The melody to this music is so perfect. My favorite part starts when the horns enter at 2:28.
It's an incredible moment when Shadow first appears over the horizon. And the boy had just said, "He was too old...It was too far," which just made it even more epic.
@scrainbow1234 same... i can just remember jammie saying "CHANCE!!! HERE BOY!!!" and chance comes running. then sassy and hopes like "SASSY!!!" and sassy's like "HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE!!" then they waited for shadow to come then he comes... "petter..." "Oh Petter i missed you so much!!!" and it was awesome!
Oh my god, thank you so much for the upload. This is one of the most powerful movies that I can remember. ;_; I absolutely love this track- I can just hear all of the lines in my mind, as the music goes.. the reuniting.. Aaah... Thank you...!
@CaninesRock This movie makes me imagine the cat I have (Merlin) the old dog we had named Skippy, a miniature schnauzer and a sap (belonged to my grandfather but we took him in when my grandfather couldn't take care of him, we no longer have him, he's gone) and a third dog making their way back to our home.
@CaninesRock I knew a dog named Shadow, she was a big black mutt, but every bit as gentle and friendly as Shadow from the movie, and the other dog who lived with her, Trouble, a pit bull mix, was just like Chance.
@Mikitane I KNOW!! I didn't get emotional watching it younger, watching it on here, even listening to the whole end now, it just kills me! I knew a dog named Shadow, a big black dog, but she was every bit as gentle as Shadow from the movie, and there was a beautiful golden retriever who was like Shadow, so it always made me think of her
@Mikitane I always cry when Shadow says to Chance, "Now all you have to learn is how to say goodbye." Then I cry again when you see Peter's sadness when Shadow doesn't return, and again (this time from happiness) when he finally appears and says "Peter.." Never fails!
