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] Go to Full Review

Carl T Dec 3 This felt stale. The lack of character development of a new love interest is utterly disappointing. Coming from an amazing character building and writing a perfect dynamic between the two main characters in the first movie, John Smith's arc was thrown out the window. He became irrelevant. They were on the right path in the beginning for having Pocahontas move on, but bringing back a beloved character, who ended up serving no purpose is ultimately an ill-considered narrative choice that undermines the character's legacy.

See more Apples B Jun 20 The fact that Pocahontas didn't end up with John Smith is annoying af!!! Like what's the point of the sequel anyway if you were just gonna add another love interest!! I've never been so angry with a disney fairytale before See more Grew B Apr 24 Complete junk! Worse than I remember! Made fun of it and couldn't stop laughing with my siblings See more Sandra B 11/21/2024 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 See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch 11/07/2024 "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.
