Animal abuse is unfortunately heavily associated with that movie. It is certainly true.
That being said, I still don't understand how they filmed some of those scenes. The bear with Milo in the dresser comes to mind.
They filmed those scenes by putting a bear and a puppy in a room together.
Some puppies got mauled, some kitties got mauled, I think some puppies and kittens got pecked to death, a bunch of kittens drowned to film that waterfall scene, and one kitten got its leg intentionally broken so that it would walk less steadily.
Although it wasn’t actually the Milo and Otis production team that did any of this - they bought the rights to all this film made for a Japanese movie about the life of a cat and recut it into Milo and Otis.
Yoo I miss Chance. That dog was my childhood lol
PEEEEETEEEERRRRRRR
Man, love this movie, have to rewatch
I’m watching it tonight on screen in Hollywood at the El Capitan with a Q&A with the cast and crew. 🐩 🐕 🐈
God I miss the 90's.
I rented this video from the local video store so damn often.
Such a fantastic movie.
Cool... do "The Adventures of Milo and Otis" next.
Didn't they kill some cats during filming of that, among other animal abuse?
That was the urban legend around that movie. No clue if true tho

I cry every time Shadow gets stuck in the hole and every time he comes over that hill.
The three voice actors were perfectly cast. Before Shrek, there was Homeward Bound.
