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 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Julia I is it wrong to say I enjoy watching this movie 😭 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  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.
