That final line from Shadow is one of the most powerful lines in cinematic history. That line and the wince from Chance is heartbreaking. Powerful scene. Greatest ever Disney film. Criminally underrated. I now have a Golden Retriever because of this film.
"But I WANT you with me. I love you, Shadow." That part breaks my heart, even more so now knowing someday soon I'll have to say goodbye to Evinrude, my cat, who's been my best friend for 16 years. I don't know how I'm going to manage without him and his constant presence in my life, his silly antics, his affection. It's just going to destroy me.
I think why this scene is so sad is because throughout the whole film, shadow looks out for and protects and looks out for chance and sassy. Now its so shocking to see shadow in such a helpless state but the tears come when we realize how we didnt realize how much shadow has gained in chance who now wont give up on him in the darkest moment of all. Chance, who's leaned on shadow the whole movie, is shadows true friend through and through, at this point and the way the story shows this resonates with us all
Great work by the late dog Ben the dog (that portrayed shadow) and the late don ameche who did the voice of shadow. Rest in peace to both Ben and Don ameche.
When I was little I've watched this movie enough times to break the tape. And I still cry... But mostly at the part when Sassy and Chance are home and they keep calling out for Shadow, then the family gives up and then BOOM shadow comes out. ^^
"im so sick of nature, i could puke! after this i intend to live indoors on a velvet cushion filled with bird feathers, and be served fillet of mouse on a silver platter!" xD i remember watching this movie at school..and i cried SO much..
This part makes me tear up but the part that really gets me is right after this when Sassy and Chance come running home and poor Peter is looking for Shadow. When he doesn't see Shadow he tries to keep from crying and then all of a sudden Shadow comes limping over the hill and ... yeah ... *bawls*. Fast Fact: Only two movies that I've ever cried in: Where the Red Fern Grows and Homeward Bound.
i'm so naming my next dog shadow. this scene is beatiful. it broke my heart as child, and it breaks my heart now. "I won't let you give up." I have tears in my eyes right now... I'm not even kidding.
shadow : do u think its easy for me to admit i carnt do it? im too old! chance: thats not true , there's nothing you can't do! shadow: i have nothing more to give chance , and its time for you to be on ur own. chance:but i want you with me , i love you shadow. :( . shadow: you've learned everything you need. . chance , now all you have to learn is how to say goodbye. chance: (sad sigh) . . .i wont let you give up. omg thats like sooo sad!! :'( .x x x
I loved this movie when I was a little and I love it still. So strange to see this original version. Voices are pretty same but in finnish dubs Shadow is Jalo which means high-minded and Change is Hans (I don't know why) Sassy is Sissi but it's sounds pretty like Sassy. Thanks for uploading this!
Oh yeah, I start crying here and don't stop till the end... I love this movie... It's the only movie I've ever seen my father cry over (though he denies it to this day, hehe)
the reason why in the book the old one is chance and shadow is a lab not a golden retriever is because there is movies called Homeward Bound 1 and 2 but there is also the original movie called The incredible journey where there is a short haired himalayan cat named Tao and the dog is named something different and he is the old one and he is a bull terrier, and then the younger dog is a labrador. And thats the book you read.Also in Homeward Bound they talk and in Incredible Journey they dont.
its the bit where he says how hard it is for him to admit how hard it is (how he can't do it now he's old) that gets him going. Go on Shadow we know you can do it!
That part was the best. It really shows Chance's character development throughout the film. In the beginning he was all I hate this mushy stuff and here he realizes what love truly is. Ironically Shadow said the word to Peter and here Chance says it to him.
People criticize the "fake out death" cliche, especially in kids' movies, but I think this is one instance where it works. It would've been meaningful if Shadow had died here and Chance learned to live on without his mentor, but it's arguably even more meaningful to imply that Chance took on his mentor's role by "pushing him the rest of the way." Chance truly matured by becoming to Shadow what Shadow had been to him.
My oldest dog has a massive tumor in her spleen and has to be put down later this week. My youngest dog has been moping by her side. She helped me train that pup and she (the pup) learned so much from her and this is how I imagine their conversation going.
Portland Oregon. I've been to that train yard. Looks alot different. The entire film was filmed in Oregon. From the East Oregon to central oregon to Western Oregon.
That's where the famous Daylight steam locomotive No. 4449 and SP&S 700 were based at, but now Oregon rail Heritage Center along with OR&N 197! I been there (the city) to see the Daylight locomotive!
That Southern Pacific train yard takes place in Portland OR, 0:15 and there's Brooklyn Roundhouse, That's where the Famous Daylight steam locomotive No. 4449, and SP&S 700 is based at (now they're along with OR&N 197 based at Oregon Rail Heritage Center as the roundhouse was demolished in 2012)!
Powerful scene you got us this far now I’m getting you the rest of the way even things were bad I always believed we make because you were to stubborn to quit but your not gonna quit not now not when we’re this close NOW TRY AGAIN
@patient451 I'm sure the dog who did the 'stunt' is not the same dog you see just before. The board was probably set to lower on one side and the dog to slide down a bit. It then cuts to a totally different shot of the wood breaking and a stuffed furry thing was thrown into the hole with it. The dust helps hide the fakeness. As for Shadow climbing, I think those bits were probably done in a studio set with a reconstructed 'pit' and the other shots filmed at the location with camera in the pit.
"You've learned everything you need, Chance. Now all you have to learn is how to say goodbye." Dang, imagine if this was your dying parent's last words on their deathbed.
Years, since I can recall kindergarten it has been impossible for me to watch this movie without crying, the acting, the sound chemistry of the dog whines and mannerisms. Always makes me sob
The frist time I saw this I thought shadow died, and then when he talked I thought he was never going to make it out...so yes I cried! I love this movie!!
What Shadow was climbing up wasn't probably as high as they made out anyway. The close up of Chance going into the pit there was probably someone holding him and the wide shot he was probably trained and safe to fall that far with something off camera to catch him. They mute the entire footage (the original sound would probably have been the trainers commanding the animals) add the music, character voices and any additional animal noises would be preformed by Frank Welker and added into the mix.
This scene breaks my heart because I think about the poor dog having to act the scene. You know he was down in that mud pit for a long ass time shooting different takes. And they probably hung a fat T-bone steak from a string at the top of the mud pit and taunted him with it when they were getting the shot of him trying to jump out
@Mia Tune Where The Red Fern Grows made me cry too. Even the book made me cry! Other dog movies that made me cry are: Fluke,My Dog Skip,Benji,Marley & Me,and Homeward Bound 1 and 2.
"I LOVE YOU SHADOW!" Man, I remember this part. I think it made me cry... But, now it just sounds kinda... gay. And I don't mean that as in stupid, I mean that as in gay. :P I read the book, and in the book, he's a LAB, not a golden retriever... and... in the book, the bulldog (Chance?) was the old guy, not the lab/golden retriever. ;P
3:26 to 4:21 was the saddest part of any movie I've ever seen.. But you should have just cut it there or shown the ending to the movie. The rest kind of kills the mood.
"Now all you have to do is learn how to say goodbye."
BEST LINE EVER.
2022 Greatest Line Ever

exactly
"You've learned all you need to know chance.Now all you have to learn is how to say goodbye"
My senior quote!!!!!
I used one from Mulan
"But I WANT you with me. I love you, Shadow." That part breaks my heart, even more so now knowing someday soon I'll have to say goodbye to Evinrude, my cat, who's been my best friend for 16 years. I don't know how I'm going to manage without him and his constant presence in my life, his silly antics, his affection. It's just going to destroy me.
That’s probably gonna send our gang into tears tonight. They’re reviewing the movie tonight.
I HATE having to lose the pets and people we love.
It's been over fifteen years since the last time I watched this, and I still teared up.
I havent watched this since 1994....i need 2 watch it again. damn Im old

this movie and "fluke" allways made me cry. It's amazing how this dogs act. Give them an oscar!!

I always wondered how Shadow got out, was he rescued?
@@eleanorhogan8643 maybe the mud dried so he got better footing?
@@amisam maybe.
The directors wanted a happy ending. It would be even harder if Shadow didn’t make it I am glad he is ok in the end.

I wonder if you remember making this comment 11 years ago... Anyhow I agree with you. 😊
I lost one of my dogs today. I can’t help but watch this to mourn.
What breed?
This was one of the closest times I've ever come to crying during a movie.
This is the first movie I ever cried at😪

I cried at this part, Shadow is such a beautiful dog! Ohhh poor Shadow :'(
shadow : do u think its easy for me to admit i carnt do it? im too old!
chance: thats not true , there's nothing you can't do!
shadow: i have nothing more to give chance , and its time for you to be on ur own.

shadow: you've learned everything you need. . chance , now all you have to learn is how to say goodbye.

omg thats like sooo sad!! :'( .x x x
When I first saw the film as a child, I thought Shadow died.
Man, this part makes me cry, Shadow is such a good dog.
Got me cryin over here, such a perfect movie, I can’t believe it exists

These dogs are some good actors
And the cat.
This scene was traumatizing to me as a kid 😢
chance rocked in this part...."TRY AGAIN!"
Amazing character development. :D goes from a cock pup to a badass who won't quit like shadow.
its the bit where he says how hard it is for him to admit how hard it is (how he can't do it now he's old) that gets him going. Go on Shadow we know you can do it!
every time i see this film i always feel like cryin at this part!
Shadows cries always hurt my heart
I love Chances desire to keep the family together.
Especially when he said in the beginning that he didn’t need them. Throughout the journey he learned that nothing is more important than family.
@@kross2659 clearly how Sassy and Shadow earlier saved his life, their long journey changed him for da better.
Years later this scene hits me you just want to help poor shadow. If you’re a domestic animal lover There’s no way this scene doesn’t hit home..
This is the best movie made in the whole world!!!!!!!
When Chance says I love you Shadow 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That part was the best. It really shows Chance's character development throughout the film. In the beginning he was all I hate this mushy stuff and here he realizes what love truly is. Ironically Shadow said the word to Peter and here Chance says it to him.

1:05 That yelp SFX still makes my heart hurt, and my eyes water in sadness.
The ending of this movie makes me cry more than this part, but I still do usually start crying here.
I wonder if you remember making this comment 14 years ago...Anyhow, I agree with you! 😢
For me this is when the waterworks start then it finishes with the ending!
I saw this at the cinema at 3 years old and I cried at this bit because I did think Shadow died, then it shows him alright and I was happy.
Shadow suffered the most but still overcame the most! Go Shadow!

I YOUS TO LOVE THIS MOVIE!
This part is so sad, Chance can't leave Shadow in the hole.
I love Michael J. Fox. Too bad he's to sick to act now :(
I HATE this part, some of the movie IS depressing...Poor Shadow! (this why
I prefer the second one, but don't get me wrong...it IS a good movie...)
Disney Then: Make movies that could he considered life lessons.
Disney Now: Milks the Star Wars and Marvel Franchise.
Was that necessary?
Bro these good movies , where , filmed, when , god still mattered to humanity.

@Allblack25 - it's actors doing the talking for them. Shadow's voice is Don Ameche, Chance- Michael J. Fox, and Sassy- Sally Field.
What a shame he couldn't tell by looking at the plank that it was very dodgy. But then I guess we all have those moments.
I love micheal j fox in this movie he always does a great performance
There’s nothing you can’t do 😭 me when I talk to my father
tatally agreed. the next part would have broken the ice 4 me and made me cry.
Southern Pacific before it merged with Union Pacific! Saw some bay window cabooses!
This BROKE ME
exactly that part makes me cry to!!!!
TheMarine3333 I have a golden and the thought of him in this situation makes me break down everytime!
I feel bad for the golden retriever who filmed this. He had nooooooo idea that fall was coming
4:04 Sassy, Molly Mabray's pet Himalayan kitty 2:54
Can't watch this sober.
Something I think how Shadow got out was sassy probably stayed with shadow and chance probably went searching for some rope to pull shadow out
It was all the dog whimpering when he fell in and tryna get out for me 🥺
some scenes will just stay with you forever
We could ALL stand to learn something from Shadow.
They can't just leave him there 🥺😥
We're not leaving you shadow. We stick to the plan.
Sassy almost died too
Always a tear-jerker
Geez Shadow almost died and your worried about TRAFFIC?!
Very sad scene. But Love this movie.
Kevin Flaherty: At 1:04 Shadow should have been more carefull here.

At 4:09 HOW will they both get back up again before getting back home?
I never thought of this but did someone come along and rescue him?
