				"The cat was uneasy. 
				He had a strange feeling he was being followed. There was 
				nothing in sight, 
				yet his sense told him there was something 
				there, something evil." - 
				Narrator 
				Why watch this? This 
				family action film is, well, incredible! All set in the American 
				wilderness. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Three family pets – a young Labrador Retriever, Luath, an older 
				Bull Terrier, Bodger, and a Siamese cat, Tao – are left with a 
				friend while their owners go on vacation. Missing their family, 
				the trio escape and embark on a long, challenging journey 
				through the Canadian wilderness to find their way home. Faced 
				with a vast and unfamiliar landscape, the animals must overcome 
				various perils and rely on each other to survive. Dad's Preview: 
				In the 50's and 60's, Disney was second-to-none regarding films 
				featuring animals, such as 
				Old Yeller 
				(1957) and 
				Swiss 
				Family Robinson (1960). Here the excitement comes from 
				our heroic animals as they encounter an angry mother bear, a raging river, a porcupine, 
				and cold wintry conditions. Your heart-strings will be maxed out 
				as our traveling trio trudges on to get home. 
				Can they survive the journey? Will it be too much for that old 
				terrier?
