A Dog's Way Home

A Dog's Way Home has built a real following in Australia on Netflix, and in the UK on Netflix among viewers who do not usually seek out animation. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 1,189 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. The visual style is immediately recognisable, but the writing is what keeps you watching. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason A Dog's Way Home keeps coming up in conversation. A Dog's Way Home treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. The adventure of Bella, a dog who embarks on an epic 400-mile journey home after she is separated from her beloved human. Bryce Dallas Howard and Jonah Hauer-King lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2019. A Dog's Way Home uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but A Dog's Way Home works for viewers who do not typically seek out animation too. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious in ways that hold up regardless of format. Worth watching in order from the beginning.
