Nothing to shout from the rooftops about, but I did just about enjoy 'The Incredible Journey'. It's still nothing enthralling or exciting, though does at least complete Disney's live-action offerings from 1963 on a more positive note than the preceding four films. This does unfortunately have yet more questionable care of animals, but it's definitely less prevalent than in their previous animal-themed productions. As with 'Nikki, Wild Dog of the North' and 'The Legend of Lobo', this is practically a documentary with added story. I didn't like those aforementioned films as I felt they were too boring and a tad all over the place, but this 1963 release finds a better balance between storytelling and nature. There are more prominent roles for humans in this, with Émile Genest again portraying a role as he did in Nikki. Rex Allen narrated Lobo and does so again here. Zero special from the humans, Allen is good though. This could easily get a rating a notch lower, though there's marginally enough there to deem it satisfactory in my books - probably thanks to the cute lead animals.
