Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews Strikes familiar notes of how the true 'savages' are the Englishmen...but in the end, the princess gives herself over to an Englishman and literally drifts away in the wrong direction of history. [Blu-ray] Rated: 1/4 Oct 15, 2012 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy The film's history lesson is too ludicrous to view as anything but comedy. Rated: 6/10 Sep 28, 2012 Full Review Sarah Wenk Common Sense Media More romance than history, but kids will enjoy. Rated: 3/5 Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Pete Vonder Haar Film Threat Because the first one wasn't historically inaccurate enough Rated: 0/5 Oct 28, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 2, 2005 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com A slapdash effort, with none of gorgeous colors and animation of the first film and little of its emotional resonance.

Sandra B This was one of the worst movies I have ever watched how dare they decide to just throw off the first movie and add a new love interest like the heck John Smith should have been the one what a waist. Of my time and the money they used to make this movie bad just bad 👎 😒 sequels should just stop they should stop making sequels and just end the movie like that , I can't unsee this movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review SkyRo P "Pocahontas," a beloved classic from Walt Disney, was released during the 1990s Renaissance Era and tells the story of a Native American princess, inspired by a real-life heroine. The film explores the clash of Native American culture with European settlers, particularly the English men who arrived in what we now call the United States. It beautifully narrates the adventures of Pocahontas and John Smith as they navigate their journey together, striving to protect the land and honor Native American traditions. The film's artistic elements—its music, animation, and overall creative vision—are nothing short of breathtaking. It stands as a remarkable addition to Disney’s animated film catalog. The antics of Meeko, the raccoon, and Flit, the hummingbird, provide delightful comic relief and become endearing companions to Pocahontas throughout her journey. Characters like Kokoum and Nakoma add profound depth to the portrayal of Native American culture, contributing some of the most poignant and dramatic moments in animated film history. Additionally, characters like Thomas and the comically charming pug, Percy, enrich the storytelling further. We also encounter wise figures like Grandmother Willow and Chief Powhatan, alongside the despicable villain Radcliffe, who drives the tension in the narrative. "Pocahontas" is a fantastic film that deserves to be appreciated by all. However, it’s disheartening that Pocahontas, as a real historical figure, has not received the same level of recognition as other Disney princesses like Cinderella and Ariel. Her absence from mainstream merchandise and media is regrettable, and it would be beneficial to honor her legacy by integrating her into more stories and products. Regarding the sequel, while it attempted to revisit Pocahontas’s journey, it sadly fell short. The film had the feel of a rushed VHS release, lacking the care and creativity of its predecessor. The plot follows Pocahontas to England and her encounter with John Rolfe, which, while based on historical events, detracted from the original love story with John Smith. The decision to anchor the sequel in reality led to a disjointed narrative that often felt unwatchable. While I have a deep appreciation for the character of Pocahontas, the sequel felt like a disappointing indication that Disney had no further intentions for her, relegating her to a one-time film with a lackluster follow-up. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Julia I is it wrong to say I enjoy watching this movie 😭 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Kay T The beginning was decent, but the animation felt extremely rushed. There were a bunch of scenes where characters just teleported to their designated spot, it’s like they spent no time trying to animate them moving. If you don’t want to have your view of the first movie destroyed, do not watch. I was so disappointed with this movie. There were no colors that sparked emotion like the first movie, and the character development just didn’t make sense. I also noticed some characters lips did not go along with the words, like they animated it before they wrote the script. They’ve should’ve done better with this movie, I would rather wait years for a sequel and have it be good than a movie like this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Giovana L É bem ruimsinho. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review miruna Hate that Pocahontas didn't end up with John Smith's they were soulmates. "I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you" . THEY WERE MEANT TO BEEE 🤧 why did they have to change his character . if you want to watch Pocahontas I advise you to stop at the first movie , for your own good x Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
