Movie Details
Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993) is a touching adventure that explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and bravery. Follow a playful bulldog, a clever cat, and a wise golden retriever as they traverse the rugged Sierra Nevada to find their way home. Along their journey, they encounter danger, joy, and heartwarming moments while striving to reunite with their cherished family.
So, gather your furry companions, adhere to the guidelines (yes, we’re talking to you, humans), and enjoy a lovely evening outdoors.
Important Ticket Information
To attend, you must secure a VID (Very Important Dog) ticket for your pup, but act quickly—these tickets are selling out fast!
Purchasing a VID ticket also supports African Tails, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to animal welfare through mass sterilisation, rescue, and rehoming. They also run educational campaigns to promote better living conditions for dogs and cats. Who knew movie nights could be so paw-some?
