After scoring a quadrilogy of blockbuster smashes (from THE LITTLE MERMAID to THE LION KING), Disney followed up with a melancholy, unhappily ever after-style musical about the expedition of the New World. However, despite its best intentions to display the tragic consequences of racial prejudice (where the conflict between the English settlers and the Native Americans is concerned), POCAHONTAS proved to be underwhelming. As is naturally expected from a Disney production, the story is loosely adapted from its source material; in a rare instance, however, that's a bad thing here. The subject deals with actual history, not a fictional work. The inclusion of cuddly animal characters is also a problem; while some may argue that their squabbles are meant to mirror the tension between the Indians and the settlers, one suspects that their presence is simply to evoke laughs from children. It's unfortunate that POCAHONTAS suffers from faults as greivous as this, because it does manage to tell a genuinely effective story. The unhappy ending is also commendable on Disney's part, although it suffers from the alternate curse of being most inaccurate. Technically, POCAHONTAS can't be faulted either, especially in its art direction and music. All in all, I cannot consider POCAHONTAS a Disney classic, but its good qualities manage to elevate its weaknesses.

MCT:July 13, 2008Shameful erasure of colonialism. And unfortunately, children aren't usually equipped to reject this.

MCT:July 6, 2008Disney started to lose it with this sub-par animated flick, clearly cutting corners on everything from writing, (she learns English because a wind blows up), to love story, (John Smith did NOT fall in love with the real Pocahontas, as she would have been 12, and she is maybe 17 or so in this), and the characters look awful, like Pocahontas herself, who has a lazy eye and disfigured proportions at times, and her friend, who is clearly Chinese. Hu? "The colors of the wind?" What? Need it be more obvious. This is not one of their best. Not the worst either.

This is a great movie as long as you're expected something not real. The real Pocahantas was not like the movie at all.

MCT:June 22, 2008Think my darling children co-erced me into watching it. In truth it was more bearable than i would be caught saying so in person.

This movie is one of the indicators that contemporary Disney hand-drawn animation was going down. A really ridiculously romanticized plot and an unlikeable title character make this hard to watch. The villain wasn't even any good. I can't think of anything good to say about this. Blech. It didn't even entertain me as a child.

Pocahontas definately was not Disney's best film. It didn't even compare to The Lion King or even Sleeping Beauty. It still was decent, but not anything spectacular.

This movie has an amazing story that shows the other side of the discoveries.
The songs are very beautiful. -

One of Disney's best, with a solid plot, a demonic soundtrack, and a nice rebellious ending which annoyingly was kind of ruined by the sequel. It's a bit crud at times, and the guy she falls for is so horrendously boring I just want to punch him. Dark and moral-filled family adventure- if it doesn't look like your thing, it probably isn't...

The beauty of this film lies in the message...
The message of "Pocahontas" is that arriving settlers despoiled the forests and imposed their own version of civilization, whether or not it was wanted. Governor Ratcliffe, the blustering leader of the Virginia Company, is shown gleefully using cannons to level forests. And when the settlers open fire on the Indians, they retaliate by capturing John Smith and then prepare to execute him. Only Pocahontas, who can empathize with both sides, can save either side from destruction... -

Okay, I guess. The storyline, animation, characters, and voicing and sound effects were first class, but i didn't really like the graphics

Pohcahontas is a very magical family cathering movie, the characters are very funny, like Migo the Raccoon, Flit the Humming Bird, and Percy the Pug

even though they got the real story all wrong (pocahontas and John were never in love, they thought of each other as brother and sister) it was still a great animated classic disney movie. I liked it.
