Cast of "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" Quiz

Answer: Michael J. Fox

Fox, born on June 9th, 1961 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, voiced Chance. Chance was an American bulldog and Jamie's pet. In the beginning of the movie, Chance chased Sassy around at a wedding and unfortunately destroyed the wedding cake in the process.

When the Seavers went on vacation, they dropped off all three of their pets (Chance, Sassy, Shadow) at a family friend's home. Midway through the movie, Chance sniffed around a porcupine and the latter animal attacked Chance, impaling his quills into Chance's face. Later on in the movie, Chance and the other two animals were taken to the pound and it was there that the quills were removed.

At the end of the movie, Chance and Jamie embraced once Chance made it home. Fox voiced Chance again in "Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco".

He also had roles in the movies "The Frighteners" and "Mars Attacks!"

Answer: Sally Field

Field, a native of Pasadena, California, lent her voice to Sassy. Sassy was a Himalayan cat and Hope's pet. She often liked to say how "cats ruled and dogs drooled" but still got along with both Chance and Shadow. While on their journey through the woods, Sassy slipped off a log and went into the water. Shadow went to rescue but it was too late since she went over a waterfall. Downstream, a bird watcher noticed Sassy and brought her back to his place so he could tend to her.

When Sassy heard Chance barking, she ran towards them and they all had a tender reunion. Sassy attempted to tug the quills out of Chance's face but he told her to stop since it hurt too much. Sassy was thrilled at the end of the movie when she reunited with Hope. Field voiced Sassy in the sequel, "Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco". Field also has guest starred on the TV series "ER", "The Court" and "Murphy Brown".

Answer: Don Ameche

Ameche, born in 1908 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, voiced Shadow. Shadow was a Golden Retriever and Peter's dog. Shadow was relatively older than Sassy and Chance so therefore he tended to be the smartest of the bunch. Early on in the movie, Shadow and Chance went looking for fish in the water and Shadow advised him to not bark or else he would scare the fish. Midway through the movie, Shadow and Chance saw a mountain lion nearby so they ran from it.

The cougar lost sight of Chance but did keep an eye on Shadow and continued to chase him but Shadow outran him. Chance and Shadow managed to escape from the cougar unharmed. Near the end of the movie, Shadow fell into a hole and had a hard time getting out of it so he advised Sassy and Chance to leave him be. Sassy and Chance refused to leave Shadow's side. Shadow managed to climb out of the hole but it was not seen in the film.

At the end of the movie, Shadow reunited with Peter in a tearful embrace. Ameche starred in the films "Things Change", "Oscar" and "Corrina, Corrina".

In 1986, he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the movie "Cocoon". Other Oscar nominees for Best Supporting Actor that year were Klaus Maria Brandauer for "Out of Africa", William Hickey for "Prizzi's Honor", Robert Loggia for "Jagged Edge" and Eric Roberts for "Runaway Train".

He made sure there were recent pictures on the fliers and then asked a co-worker to print off several copies of them so he could distribute them. When Bob received word that the three pets had been found, he got so excited that it frightened a couple of his co-workers.

At the end of the movie, Bob and the kids played basketball outside their home and were pleased when the three pets returned home shortly after they completed their game. Hays reprised his role of Bob Seaver in "Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco".

Peter eventually realized Bob was not to blame and made amends with him, which Bob accepted.

At the end of the movie, Peter waited for Shadow to come back to him after Chance and Sassy made it back safe but Shadow did not initially come.
