Disney remakes The Incredible Journey: the location is different (Oregon here, doubling for California), the breeds of the itinerant trio have been tweaked, the family is a bit higher profile, and this time there is no narrator: the animal threesome are voiced by notable talent (Don Ameche, Sally Field, Michael J Fox).
Otherwise, the mixture is much as before - a journey full of trials, with spectacular scenery as a backdrop, chuckles here and there, and a handful of tear-jerking moments.
The scenery is indeed spectacular, the editing is very skillful, the script is none too special, but is largely saved by the sheer professionalism of the voice talent. This is one for a family Sunday afternoon: adults in the absence of kids will find it sugary enough to induce diabetes.
