Indeed

I appreciate this. Homeward Bound was my favorite movie as a kid. Now I just wonder how this stuff was filmed, and hoping all the critters were OK doing so.

That's excellent to know, but... for some reason, this scene is STILL hurtful to watch.

It really shows how much work it takes to ensure no animals get harmed during production

That's an amazing effort for a scene like that

When my nephew and I first watched this movie, we were crying so hysterically, we had to turn the movie off. Then we watched the rest and found out she was ok.

No!

I haven't watch this movie in years and this scene still makes me cry

Cat mama 😂

I don’t know what would be worse; knowing someone is in danger, or knowing someone is in danger and try as you might, there’s nothing you can do to help them.

Me too, Sassy is one of the prettiest cats I ever seen

Shut up

She luckly survived in the end. She was found.

You know what they say: cats have nine lives

Shadow Didn't Listen To Sassy About The Water & Fall

two bros trying to get to the aid of their sis💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

To me that shot showed that even though Chance was a goofball, he knew when to get real. When Sassy fell into the water, instead of laughing and making fun of her, which you would totally expect from him, Chance realized she was in serious danger and ran to help her just like Shadow did.

@@jduttskywalkeryess wasn’t it also his idea to launch the cougar that was after them? Chance was the goodest of boys, great, now I want to rewatch this whole movie again lol it’s been a while

Same it always upset me as a kid 😥

​@@preparetoholdyourcolour7080 you realize the cat is 100% safe right?

Same.

2:33 😭😭😭and hearing Shadow whimpering made me cry💔💔💔 it always hurts me to hear my dog whimpering

I just can’t stop blubbering hysterically like Matt Damon in Goodwill Hunting big time 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m bawling right now!

Same here

@@carinarosales6899 same

What Would Peter Griffin Say?

Lois Griffin The Cat

Same. I was in the 5th grade

Lois Griffin The Cat

What Would Lois Griffin Say?

Sally Field is awesome

Michael J Fox (Chance) was also amazing considering that his career was already going down because of his illness.

I wish more animal movies would be voice acted in this way, without CG "mouths" moving

I knowww 😭😭😭

I have tears flowing at this very moment.

Me fr

It’s all the same sound effect 😂

No!

That old man who found her was very nice in healing her. And that he lived in nature with the animals is noble.

Well deserved😌💅🏾✨ #dogstan #dogsstaywinning #XOXO

You do know she was found later by an old man named Quentin and was nursed back to health right?

@@kingsnake23 its was a joke baby..

@@kingsnake23 no I saw it but don't remember what really happened

Me too. Now that you mentioned it

Fake cats during dangerous shots and real trained cats in shallow water for short periods of time mostly. It's why you don't focus on the cat when it's in the water for long.

@@amyb7115 Ohh, that makes sense.

I read somewhere they also used airhoses in the river to make it look stronger. I hope they did that for some of these kitty shots, :'( I am hoping it was a very controlled setting but some still look pretty rough, like when she came up from under water.

Yeah. Especially that they don't have cgi herr.

Aw I hate the mean end of teasing. This was a distressing scene for lots of little kids. Testifies to the power of the filmmaking to make this so convincing and gripping. Def a classic.

Your dad and brother are insensitive jerks >:/ They way of 'teasing' should not come at the price of making you feel bad. Also I'm right here, crying with you.

🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like you need a new father and brother

I both laughed and felt bad

Please don’t make that noise.

Someone's mad...... 😾

Reminds me of my late kitty when he got demanding for food and/or attention.

That's Not Funny 😒

Well i think that the angry meow and angry face were a natural reaction akin to cats being scared of water by nature. Right?

this scene scared me just like donkey kong encountering the jumping alligators

My friend’s cat ran to the tv when Sassy started drowning and meowing 😂 He wanted to help Sassy

itz a shock isnt it? i passd out a few times wen i saw it

If you are a kid why you here? Yt is for 13+

Just so you know in reality these were done with robots not real cats the only parts that were a real cat was in a small shallow heated pool with a harness

Same here. This is a cat lovers worst nightmare. As a kid I loved watching this movie but this scene alone broke me.

Yes, according to imdb they used real cats for the close-ups: "When Sassy goes into the river, she was put in shallow water with a harness on her. She was then released by one trainer and swam to a second trainer who had a teacher attached to her harness. There were also four people under water to monitor her safety. Several cats had been trained for this scene. Each was only in the water eight seconds. There are many shots of the cat being swept up by the fast-moving river as she heads for a very high waterfall. This was filmed using a fake cat. There are close-up shots of a frightened cat and then a shot of Sassy going over the waterfall. This scene was shot in many cuts. Fake cats, a mechanical cat, and a real cat were used. When the real cat was used, she was not in a river, but a heated pool." Very impressive!

This was very fake don't worry

Love It

@@rebeccarambo2893 No, They used fake cats.

Yes, they were treated nicely, This scene was filmed with fake cats! :)

@@rebeccarambo2893 Not true, This was filmed with a fake cats, mechanical cat, and real cats. Though there was 8 cats this scene was mainly filmed with Fake cats. They had trainers and teachers for the real cats but some trainers were under the water watching Sassy's safety when real cats were used. Though in a point of this scene I heard they used a pool for one scene. Also all 8 real cats were trained how to swim. So don't worry, all 8 cats are fine! :)

If it would of been any cat I would of jumped in to save it

The cat was secure on a harness and the cat was in the water no longer than 1 minute. And the cat on the waterfall was a fake.

Who is Lassie?

@@danielledewitt1 the dog that did a movie with Elizabeth Taylor

@@carinarosales6899 Who is she?

Same, I love my pets, I'd do anything for them, even kill myself to keep them safe!

There were people in the water when the cat was real.
