1 | * AdaptationDisplacement: Many fans of ''Homeward Bound'' are totally unaware of the 1963 film -- fans of which often don't know it was a book first. |
2 | * SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[spoiler:Bodger comes home]]. That is all. |
3 | ** Tao bonding with Helvi- the little girl who nurses him back to health. Him saying goodbye to her as she sleeps also counts as a TearJerker. |
4 | ** Tao running into Elizabeth's arms upon returning home. |
5 | ** Luath extending his paw to shake hands with John and the way John acts so flattered are both cute. |
6 | * SignatureScene: Tao, the Siamese cat, being chased by a lynx and fighting a bear to defend an injured Bodger are two of the most frequently praised parts of the film in the decades since its release. |
7 | * TearJerker: The ending causes pretty much anyone who reads/sees it to curl up in a blubbering, snotty mess of hysterically sobbing human. |
8 | ** Tao being swept away by the river to his (supposed) death. |
9 | ** Tao leaving Helvi, after the two have bonded over a few days. In the movie, it also counts as a Fridge TearJerker since one can only imagine how heartbroken Helvi must have felt when she realized Tao was gone. |
10 | * ValuesDissonance: Bodger is a dog-fighting veteran, and proud of the scars he earned in the ring. Today, dog-fighting is a) a crime, b) animal cruelty and c) a major reason why breed-specific legislation against pit bulls exists. At the time, however, it really ''was'' seen as a noble sport. Granted, it's almost certain that Bodger was never subjected to the kind of cruelty that befalls many fighting dogs. |
