Because I make bad choices about movies that made me bawl as a child.

But anyways.

I want to know more about the old guy who nurses Sassy back to health. Is he a mountain man survivalist? Does he live in that remote cabin all the time? Does he own the goat that provided the milk? What is his life like?

i think he is a man who found a simpler life in the mountains. i like to think what his life would be like if Sassy didn’t have another family to go to and she stayed and they became friends. taking in the natural beauty of the fields

I examined the backgrounds of the cabin scenes to try to glean more from the set design!

We meet the dude while he’s eaglewatching. Dude appears to be super into eagles and perhaps birdwatching in general? He’s got a taxidermy or stuffed bird in one corner, and some long feathers collected in like a jar. And has been watching eagles for at least 4 months. Perhaps he retired to his remote cabin?

Bonus: the actor was an old Disney stable alumnus– he was the speaking voice for Prince Charming in Cinderella. Dude is now NINETY FIVE. Homeward Bound was basically the last thing he did.

This movie covers something like 19 years while Redd knows Andy, then of course they meet again at the end. Could be a month later, could be years.

BUT ANYWAY they did a really good job with makeup and hair in this movie vis-a-vis aging the characters. At the very beginning, they all do look younger, softer in some way, compared to the later wrinkles and gray hair.
