Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993)

Before the Seavers leave for a family vacation to San Francisco, they drop off their pets -- Chance, an adventurous American bulldog; Shadow, a wise golden retriever; and Sassy, a cautious cat -- at a friend's ranch. But when the animals start to worry that they've been left for good, the three embark together on a treacherous and thrilling journey to find their way back home through the California wilderness.

In Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “animal roadtrip”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing friendship, loyalty, family, adventure.
