If The Incredible Journey hit the spot, these will too
Epic and warm in the same breath
Both lean on comfort more than on adventure
Common ground in both: dog and pets
Leans harder into drama than The Incredible Journey does
Epic family in both cases
Sits closer to fantasy than The Incredible Journey does
Warm adventure, and it commits to that
Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft
The same preoccupation in both: dog
Family with a pulse of comfort, in both cases
Trades the scale of The Incredible Journey for an angle of its own
Adventure built on scale, twice over
Family with a pulse of warmth, in both cases
A streak of comfort through both
Both play family straight
