Summary: First one was good, second one even better.
Review: I thought this one was a bit more enjoyable than Pocahontas I. The characters were just as interesting, and the change of location to London gave it a whole new point of view and sense of adventure. The movie seldom resorts to loud and violent themes (as contrasted with such Disney offerings as Lion King II, Simba's Pride), and left me feeling like a kid again, hoping that Pocahontas III was in the works.

Summary: Not for ME!
Review: I was enthralled when I heard that they were making a sequal to "Pocahontas". But when this "sequal" finally came out I was so disappointed. It doesn't correctly follow the original film. The animation isn't convincing. But I just love the ending credits song "Between to Worlds". So I suppose maybe I should have just gotten the soundtrack. I think that what ruined the film most for me was the horrible scene that took place after Ratcliff's entertainment. You know what scene I'm talking about. King James was outraged by Pocahontas's behavior, and so was I!

Summary: Why can't they have a 0 star rating?
Review: I'm 16 now, and I remember most Disney movies with that warm, fuzzy feeling. I was at a friend's house and noticed Pocahontas and thought, I haven't seen that in years! Let's watch it! Then she said, We both remember the first one. I think we have the second one somewhere, let's watch that! So, we popped it in, and stared in dismay as it got worse...and worse...and worse. The history, for one, destroyed it, since I tend to like accurate things. Then, Smith comes in and the other guy(Rolf?) is heartbroken. Mmm hmmm. And Pocahontas saves Smith in the first one, and chooses Rolf in the second, and Smith WALKS AWAY like nothing happened? Take human nature into consideration: he would NOT have been so peaceful. Well, I guess if the kids didn't see/didn't like the first one, they'd like it. I personally hated it with a passion. Don't buy this. Rent it or borrow it. Please.

Summary: Why I hate this movie (Part III)
Review: I'm sorry and I know that I can't shut up about this movie, but I can't. It is probably the worst movie I've ever seen and that's saying a LOT! A few more things:If you haven't read my other reviews on this movie, please do, because they say a lot! Rolfe is hella ugly whereas Smith is the dashing explorer! I was embarrased for Pocahontas because she acted like a moron with her love life! Since when do people care about animated movies being historically correct. As if Poca1 was perfect. I say if you're gonna make it, ya might as well go all the way! This movie not only shames itself, Pocahontas, and Disney, but also makes it slightly painful to watch the wonderful first movie. This movie was directed towards kids and since when do they care if it's historically correct?!!? My younger cousins hated this movie, because they liked Smith. I think that kids are more satisfied and concerned with Pocahontas and Smith being in love than the educational value of this movie. If people always watched movies for information, then there'd be a major problem. since when does Disney care about being informative?!!? I hate that jerk Rolfe!!!!! I own the movie and soundtrack for the first movie and they're both amazing. I hate the second movie and soundtrack! Don't watch this movie. Pocahontas and John Smith were two of my favorite disney characters ever and this makes me sad. I wish I had never seen the second one. IT IS PROBABLY MY LEAST FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME! Don't watch this!!!!!!!!

Summary: Pocahontas II is a an Excellent Sequel
Review: Meeko, Flit and Percy, these the are names of the original animal friends who get in and out of mischief, befriend each other and accompany Pocahontas in the vast Winter panorama of colonized North America to the hustle and bustle of 17th Century London. That is the setting for "POCAHONTAS II." This is an excellent sequel. I never thought I would be saying that about a direct-to-video movie. I was wrong and "POCAHONTAS II" is a strong testament to that. The film is very faithful to the original characters all around. With the introduction of John Rolfe the story follows the historic Pocahontas as she crosses the Atlantic as the Indian Princess and emissary of her people to London to be received at court and be lionized by English society. Eventually she confronts Governor Ratcliffe and the real drama begins. Ratcliffe is much more a villain in this film than he was in the original "POCAHONTAS." To give any more details would be inappropriate. There are many surprises along the way, but Meeko, Flit and Percy are featured throughout so it makes this excellent family fare. There are also at least five knew songs that I was able to count. They were very good and fit each scene perfectly. I was really impressed by the artwork on this feature. This time we get to see the North American virgin land of towering forests covered with Winter's snow, frozen waterfalls and white covered cliffs drawn again with a freedom and energy that posses real power and reverence for the land. In contrast we get to see London congested with buildings and people, horses and carriages crowded in cobble stone streets. Most important to any film, it has a good story, which combines the settings and narrative perfectly. The DVD widescreen picture quality and stereo sound is excellent. I highly recommend this feature. It went far beyond my expectations.

Summary: Great story - Saturday morning cartoon animation
Review: Obiously the story line of this direct to video DVD is not accurate historically. This is Disney and it was made for kids in mind. It is expected that Disney has made a fairy tale out of a historical figure to those of you have knocked both this video and the original Pocahontas for that reason. It is kind of like George Washington chopping down the cherry tree. So don't let that detour you from purchasing this video. Now that that is out of the way, for those of you that enjoy a fairly decent story line, this is a decent DVD. For those of you who like true Disney quality animation that you got with the original Pocahontas, you won't find it here. True, it is a sequel, but the animation here is no better than that which you would find in a Saturday morning cartoon. One thing that is noticeably better than its predecessor is the DVD picture quality. Although the first Pocahontas is better animation, the transfer to DVD was visibly grainy in the first Pocahontas, which was extremely disappointing. This one was smooth as silk. Choosing between the two DVDs is a toss up, bad animation versus bad picture transfer.

Summary: This [stunk] for me, but others might like it.
Review: Ok, Pocahontus 2 is basically about Pocahontus "moving on". She goes to England to protect her tribe from an Armada. (If you hate historically inaccurate movies DON'T watch this) She ends up falling in love with John Rolfe, but is reunited with John Smith. Decisions, Decisions....Well ok, i didn't like this movie because I thought the romance between Rolfe and Pocahontus was totally botched. They hardly even talked and second, Disney in the first movie made Pocahontus and John Smith out to be soul mates and in this movie they throw away that romance like it was a fleeting thing. What about the whole "I will always be with u" thing? The animation was far worse than the originals. The songs less catchy, only a few were decent. The whole movie was sort of thrown together. If you liked the first Pocahontus movie I don't think you will like the second. It totally derates the first and ruins the ending.

Summary: Horrible movie don't watch it (Part II)
Review: Okay so I know I left a few things out. Here's some other stuff that totally sucks about this movie: They make John Smith out to be a total jerk just so that you like Rolfe better. I LOVED Smith! Rolfe is the worst Disney character ever. Again, I say, is Pocohantas just supposed to throw away her relationship with Smith after the first movie?!!? That's the worst thing about this movie and makes me sad every time I watch the original movie. What the heck happened to everything that they had in the first movie?!!? The first movie was heartwarming and I LOVED to watch it when I was a little kid. Had I been that same age when this movie came out, then I think I would've cried! Smith was really cool and I liked how he loved Pocohontas for who she was and not that she was willing to become "civilized". Rolfe didn't really like her until she dressed up like a English woman (which, I add, made her look completely hideous). I'm not even going to try to compare the music. The first movie's music was great and really catchy. Some of the sequel's songs seemed like they were thought of when the composer just woke up. And the original's soundtrack is great. I still listen to it every once in a while. The sequel's music sucks! I'm not even going to try to compare "Which way do I go" or whatever it's called to, say, "Colors of the Wind". "Which way do I go" was apparently what the director was thinking while making this movie. I can't express how much I hate John Rolfe. In the first movie, they make John Smith a dashing, young, adventurous, understanding man, who loves Pocohontas for who she is and not what she's willing to do to please him. But in the second, he now becomes a complete jerk who just walks away when Pocohontas is with Rolfe. I think a lot of Rolfe's support is backed by the animals who liked Smith in the first movie but now think that Rolfe is best for her. Meeko and Flit were supposed to be funny, like they were in the first movie, but now they're stupid and boring. This movie was extremely boring. No more can be said about that. The other characters were obnoxious. King James, for example, is a two-dimensional freak who reminds me of Ratcliffe's servant person in the first movie. Skinny and frail and doesn't have a clue about what's going on. EVERYONE'S OUT OF CHARACTER! That's just a few more points for ya. This movie doesn't just ruin itself, but also it almost makes me mad sometimes when I watch the first one (only not really, because the first one is great!) In short, a movie worthy of your lowliest trash can.

Summary: A worthy sequel...
Review: Once again Disney has released a direct to video sequel which would have worked better in theaters had more time been spent on it...now dont get me wrong...Disney has outdone themselves with this one, it is a great sequel to Pocahontas and I enjoyed it very much, but at 72 mins, it was WAY too short, and the animation was not as good as it should have been. I understand that since this is made for video there was a certain amount of money that could have been spent, but this should have been developed as a theatrical release because it certainly had the potential of being one, as did the other Disney video sequels. They all have great stories but weak and unbelievable animation that does not match those of the original...all in all though this sequel is enjoyable and was much better than I thought it would be...just enough comedy and action, but the animation ruins it...

Summary: Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World Gold Collection DVD
Review: Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World, is an above average sequel and superior to many of the other DTV Disney sqeuels. This is mainly becuase after the the first film there was still some story that needed telling. While this film is gravely incorrect as far as history goes, Disney has given us a new story that shows us what happened to Pocahontas and John Smith's relationship. Pocahontas' journey to England was a terrific idea, and from that the creators were able to mine endless possibilites. All the songs are catchy, and come close to matching those of the original (surpassing some). The ending might be disappointing to some, becuase it does an injustice to the original film. But others might not mind it. The Gold Collection DVD includes the Silly Symphony short "Little Hiawatha", which is a wonderful little added bonus.
