The story starts in colonial Jamestown before Pocahontas travels to England to meet with the king in hopes of preventing a British-Indian war. Her guide and companion is royal emissary John Rolfe (Billy Zane). They are attracted to each other, but Pocahontas yearns for John Smith (Donal Gibson, brother of Mel Gibson). After a conflict with the evil Ratcliffe (David Ogden Stiers), the missing Smith is presumed dead. Ratcliffe tells the king that the Jamestown Indians are savages, so Pocahontas enters high society, hoping to prove otherwise by presenting a civilized appearance at the Royal Hunt Ball. Ratcliffe schemes to sabotage Pocahontas' plan. New songs by Marty Panzer and Larry Grossman include the closing-credits tune, Between Two Worlds. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
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]
-
Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy
The film's history lesson is too ludicrous to view as anything but comedy.
-
Sarah Wenk, Common Sense Media
More romance than history, but kids will enjoy.
-
Pete Vonder Haar, Film Threat
Because the first one wasn't historically inaccurate enough
-
Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
A slapdash effort, with none of gorgeous colors and animation of the first film and little of its emotional resonance.
