Beethoven

Supposedly, Charles Grodin was the star of this film, about a wacky (but non-deadly) Saint Bernard, but we’re pretty sure that audiences paid to see the dog. Beethoven grossed $147 million worldwide. To repeat, Beethoven grossed $147 million. It’s possibly the highest grossing dog movie ever. Beethoven’s 2nd? $118 million. The pair were so successful that they spawned three straight-to-video hits. Beethoven was finally put to sleep after film five.
Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

The Pacific Northwest adventure stars an ingenue (Chance, voiced by Michael J. Fox), a snob (Sassy, voiced by Sally Field) and a sage (Shadom, voiced by Don Ameche). After believing they have been mistakenly left behind by their owners, the three take off from Oregon for parts unknown in search of their family, who’ve temporarily relocated to San Francisco. A reunion eventually takes place, obviously. The owners are shockingly nonplussed.
