The title isn't the only thing this sequel almost shares with Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. The opening conceit is also similar, with an airport mix-up resulting in an accidental abandonment. However, with Shadow the retriever and Sassy the cat to help him, bulldog Chance isn't alone for long. Indeed, romance is soon in the air as our three heroes are befriended by a pack of street dogs. Ralph Waite admirably replaces the late Don Ameche as the sagacious voice of Shadow, but not all the casting is as felicitous: the decision to have strays voiced by African-American actors has unfortunate racist overtones.

A sequel, featuring animals with human voices and emotions, that treads much the same ground as its predecessor; enjoyable enough in its way, unless you like dumb animals.

"...[An] equally entertaining sequel....Waite provides just the right note of grizzled, avuncular wisdom..."

Same stuff again but enjoyable!
I watched Homeward Bound (1) and really enjoyed it. This, like most sequels, didn't quite make match its original but it really was an enjoyable hour or so. What I really would have liked to see is a 'behind the scenes' extra. It must of taken hours of patient co-ersing to get the animal actors to move and perform as required!
