IF he hadn't been, we wouldn't have him but that doesn't excuse abandonment. Total separation anxiety which is a problem but we get him good drugs for it.

In the movie "Homeward Bound," the role of Chance (the American Bulldog) was played by four dogs, Shadow (the Golden Retriever) was played by multiple dogs as well, and Sassy (the Himalayan cat) was played by around 10 different cats, meaning a significant number of animals were used to portray the main characters throughout the film.

Is it because they were each trained to do specific stunts or because they grew so fast? (I know they had to do this with the pig in "Babe" because he grew so fast).

I had to put my cat down 2 months ago. He had been fighting a metabolic disorder that made him burn calories faster than his body absorbed them. As he deteriorated, additional hurdles popped up that just made it harder to find a magic combination of meds that could help him rally. Towards the end, he lost his sight to an aggressive eye infection that turned his eyes cloudy in a single day. I dont think I could have stopped it even if I'd have been watching him all hours of the day. Even after he lost his sight, he would still come to me when it was time for his medications. In the mornings after I woke up, I'd sit in front of the space heater (cuz I dont have a fireplace), and he would always make me put a shirt across my lap so he could lay on it like a little hammock. I'd scratch his chin, and he'd grab at my finger tips with his toe beans and look sleepily at me. I miss the hell outta him.

I cried every single time you did. This movie is so good but so traumatic for animal lovers. The voice for Shadow was perfectly casted…the wisdom and kindness in his voice ❤️

[@marezesim8119]

you don't cry as much on a second watch because at lest you know all the situations get resolved but knew you would be emotionally impacted when you said you were watching this.. don't even need to apologize for your big feelings.. it is part of why we all love sharing with you

[@Hutchino46]

That first "they don't understand" breakdown was meme worthy. Made me think of that girl who cried because she loved cats so much :')

His movies were so popular he was called "The Dog that saved Hollywood" .Rinty is my all time favorite animal actor. When I was a little kid I would absolutely throw a fit if I couldn't watch the TV Show "The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin" (Yeah, I'm old)

The original version of this is a little different story, but it was based on a book written by a woman who was inspired by her own pets. It takes place in the Canadian wilderness, it was filmed in Oregon.

[@richdurbin6146]

I read that book as a kid. The porcupine scene still stands out decades later.

[@aamiller90]

Oh this is one of my favorite movies ever. My childhood was just rewatching this over and over, even reenacting it with my toys. Very special to me.

[@literarystorm6412]

I never shed a tear watching this movie repetitively as a child, but after growing up and raising a dog of my own, I sob throughout its entirety. 😭 I love and hate this movie. Same goes for Marley and Me.

[@KazumiKuwabara]

Dude, I was sobbing so hard reading Marley and Me when that first came out. I couldn't even bring myself to watch the movie because I knew I'd be a fucking wreck in the movie theater 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@literarystorm6412]

@@KazumiKuwabara Yeah, any admirer of dogs will lose their emotional shit watching that depressing sob story. I have the novel in my bookcase currently, and I've been dreading reading it. I keep buying other books to prolong the inevitable. lol

[@asteven8]

I was 10 yo when I saw this. Still remember seeing it in after school care in elementary school. ALL THE TEARS! Not a dry eye in the house among the elementary schoolers and a few sniffles from the teachers watching us.

[@brigadierblue221]

This movie giving you a Nervous Breakdown is the most authentic reaction 🤣🤣🤣

[@littletee3649]

I had not seen this movie in ages... I forgot how it can make you cry. I cried, too. I cried, too. . . I wish we could understandably communicate with our animal friends as well. Maybe one day we will be able to do that. But, until that day, let's hug our pets and show them how we cherish them dearly.

[@thseed7]

The Bear (1988 movie.) The greatest joy you'll ever know is the unconditional love of a pet. The greatest sorrow is that you'll outlive most of them. Lost three 16-17 year old dogs over the last few years. Thought I couldn't bear to get another animal. Had an 18 month old dog that needed a home pop up on my vet's Facebook page. Looked for a few days before I called. She said she thought of us but didn't want to impose so soon. When we met him, he was the sweetest little knucklehead and I had to make room in my heart for another animal.

[@jamiew1342]

I was honestly expecting the “I dont give a damn about the humans” quite a bit earlier in the video 😂😂😂. But same, no one cared about them, just the goodest boys and goodest kitty.

[@lindagraham-tuttle6003]

This was the first movie my twin grandsons cried over. Did I reassure them Shadow was okay before the end? Nope. They cried even harder when he showed up, just like I did the first first time I saw it. I felt so mean yet so satisfied at the same time.

[@whimsical82]

I cried along with you. I’ve seen this movie countless times, but not since we said goodbye to my soul kitty of 19 years, Spencer, in March. I sleep with his blanket in a ball near my pillow, and I’m starting to think I always will. I love this movie though, and I loved your reaction, and I love how much you love animals too. People “get it” or they don’t ❤

I started crying as soon as i saw the golden retriever, i lost my Lottie 3 months ago at the age of 14, she had the best life and died at home with us all around her. Her pedigree name was "classy royal lady" and she was exactly that, even when she'd sneakily eat horse poo before we could stop her

[@timy.4818]

I/m so sorry. Our Lab/Shepherd mix Bella is 14 and reminds me of Shadow. She was the most sweet and playful dog we have ever had. She is hanging in there, buy not doing great. Tears in my eyes every time Chance was on screen.

[@cyndinoname8060]

[@garrhettroebuck8402]

I remember watching this as a kid on VHS. Pretty sure they had to sell boxes of tissues with the tape. Years later I saw it while channel surfing and bawled harder than I had in a long time. That final scene of them coming over the hill hits super different after you've had a beloved pet pass away.

[@Aloysius_OHare]

Shadow was such a mature dog. Chance was the definite mindset the dogs that get rescued think, they understand what it means to be abandoned.

[@torontomame]

Saw the original when I was a kid, on The Wonderful World of Disney. I liked it, but never having had a pet back then I didn't really cry. It was more of an adventure movie to me. Same with when this version came out. In the years since I was lucky enough to be "Papa" to the most beautiful "baby girl" since she was a little puppy until she passed from old age years later. And I've been a "nanny" to many dogs and cats that I've pet sat for over the yesrs. Long story short, I was already crying a few minutes into this reaction. The kind of love we get from our animals is a special gift. ❤❤❤

[@hidoradaikaiju4205]

I’ve never clicked a notification so fast in my life! I’m 35, so this movie was a BIG part of my childhood in the 90’s. I can’t even remember the last time I watched this. All the dialogue and moments came flooding back to me and I have been OBLITERATED through this whole reaction. Thank you, Ashleigh for reacting to this. I needed this.

Any "Lassie" movie will always "do the job" for me. Lassie Come Home (1943), Son of Lassie (1945), Courage of Lassie (1946), a.o. As a child I even had my "own" Lassie. Sweet Memories.

[@gogomulaney7317]

I've never been a more sympathetic crier than when I watch your video reactions like this. Girl, I'm right with you.

[@LetsProblemSolve]

The Incredible Journey 1963 is the original version of this remake, and while there are no talking animals, it's just so wholesome I think you would enjoy it as well.😊

[@Grul7718]

I grew up on the 1963 original, Disney's Live Action classics of the 60s & 70s were the best!. I remember when I saw this in 1993 I was 15 years old, it was the first time I remember thinking "I liked the original better"

[@Burnzie79]

I was trying to get the Patreon tier to recommend this movie 2 years ago after my cat passed away. I had her for 18 years. This was one of my most favourite movies growing up. So happy you've watched it now!

[@alexvokoun9272]

I think she's gonna need a hug after this movie. But I'm glad you reacted to this one. It made me emotional, too.

[@jeffblue19_2.0]

I HIGHLY recommend "Hachi: A Dog's Tale." It's based on an amazing true story about the most loyal dog ever (there is a statue of the dog in Japan) and it will have you WEEPING! It's such a great story and film.

[@zeekutartheimmortal]

18:10 no Ashleigh, you cried exactly the right amount. Adults making kids movies back then were sick freaks. 80s and 90s movie trauma was very real.

[@landmine121]

I honestly can't tell if you mean that in a bad way or good way so to be safe I will assume good way being the term sick freaks is normally reserved for actual sick freaks (won't name any to keep positiveness here). If you did mean it a good way please be careful when wording your sentences.

Ashleigh I totally understand. I lost my pug Bruce about a month ago and this hits hard for me. Never miss an opportunity to give your fur babies a big hug.

Sorry for the multiple comments, but I want this one to stand alone. Don't EVER apologize for crying, Ashleigh! Your warm loving heart, and deep wealth of emotions are one of the reasons we love you as a reactor so much! You were my first movie reactor. I view you on a steady regular basis, and are still my favorite! Every Monday and Wednesday and Friday, I'm waiting at 7am (PCT) to refresh your channel until your video comes out! Thanks, lovely lady! 💙💙💙 Oh, and I am SO excited to see you watch Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey which is arguably even better that the original! Arguably. It's more exciting, more of a plot, deeper character dives, and, of course, a stellar soundtrack! But at the very least, it's *AS* good IMO as the first. And the third one, Bill & Ted Face the music, featuring a modern day adults Bill & Ted, is pretty good too!💙

[@talespinner9084]

Part of the "Saw the title, and said Oh No! outloud" crowd right here, lol! I haven't seen this movie in ages, and mostly from a self-preservation perspective. It's a great flick and the animals are SO dang adorable, but of course it tugs violently at your heart strings the whole time. I'm officially a little dehydrated now from a mysterious leaking that occurred from my ocular vicinity, but your reaction was absolutely fantastic Ashleigh and appreciate your video! Keep up the great work and keep loving the furry little babies!

[@rallytonight8491]

I LOVE that more people are reacting to this iconic film. This was such a staple of so many childhoods 🥲 Everyone assumes this is a corny 90s movie for kids but it has some of the most meaningful and emotional dialogue out there. When Shadow lectures Chance on the loyalty of a dog after they believe Sassy died, or Chance’s monologue at the very end about Shadow’s triumph and his own realization of having found his family. This film is so much more than what it appears to be.
