1993 Cult Classic “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey” Airing on ABC’s “The Wonderful World of Disney” Later This Month

They do say never work with children or animals…

A 1990s cult classic film is getting a primetime airing on ABC later this month as part of The Wonderful World of Disney.

What’s Happening:

The Wonderful World of Disney on ABC typically gives its airtime to Disney’s latest and greatest films, like 2023’s The Little Mermaid, Moana or Inside Out.
You might even see anniversary screenings for classic films such as Mary Poppins or Cinderella.
But on June 30th, ABC is going a different route by airing the 1993 film, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey – where two dogs and a cat set off on a heartwarming American adventure to reunite with their beloved owners.
Itself a remake of the 1963 film The Incredible Journey, Homeward Bound was popular enough to produce a sequel, 1996’s Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco.
Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey airs Sunday, June 29th from 9:03-11:00 p.m. EDT on ABC. You can also stream it anytime via Disney+.

More on Homeward Bound:

The Homeward Bound series is not one I’ve personally seen before, but I am pretty well acquainted with both film’s scores, which were provided by the incredible Bruce Broughton.
In addition to working on films such as Silverado, The Monster Squad and Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, Broughton also provided excellent scores to a number of Disney Parks attractions – such as The Timekeeper, Spaceship Earth, Ellen’s Energy Adventure and Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.
Meanwhile, back in 2023, our own Ben Breitbart had the chance to interview Benj Thall, who starred as Peter, in honor of the film’s 30th anniversary.
