Summary: Wonderful sequel with disturbing ending
Review: Pochontas 2 is the continuing tale of what happens to Poca a few months(?) after the first one. The time frame is a little hard to figure out. The prologue takes place SOMETIME after the first movie ended, and then after the opening credits Pocahontas's friend tells her that "much time has passed" since the prologue. It's never specific though. The animation of this movie is not as breathtaking as the original, but considering the bulk of this film takes place in London and not the sweeping vistas of pre-industrial age America, that would make sense.The songs are okay. The first song in the film, "Where Do I Go From Here" is a wonderful song sung by Pocahontas. It really rivals the original film's music. The rest, however, I found a little off-putting upon first viewing, but subsequent viewing have shown that they aren't as bad as I thought they were (especially the "white, white till he sees you" song that John Rolfe's psychotic maid sings with her British accent providing a bit too much to the song). Poca2's DVD is better in picture quality by leaps and bounds of the Poca1 DVD. The story is also very interesting, not your typical Disney movie. The ending is the only thing that floored me. If you haven't seen the movie, I won't spoil it, but if you read the other reviews, you will be able to figure out what happens. If you are a fan of Disney, or of Pocahontas 1 (to a lesser extent since the two movies are VERY different), then pick this disc up. You shouldn't be disappointed.

Summary: Unbelievable. . .
Review: Shame on Disney...As if Pocahontas I wasn't historically inaccurate enough! It still surprises me how she manages to fall OUT of love and fall INTO love like an absoulte moron. Whatever happened to John Smith? They turned him into an idiot with a boat, in other words...Leo DiCaprio! And Rolfe was admirable -- considering Billy Zane did his fabulous voice -- but unless you're a die hard Zane fan and want to hear him sing the theme song "Between two worlds", FORGET THE NI-QUELL MOVIE!

Summary: Not bad, especially the ending!
Review: Tell you the truth, the music and the animation in the first video were much more better, i ended up seeing it over and over again. The new video did not bring the same sensation. However, i liked it simply because of its ending. The new guy is better than John Smith. I am glad that Pocahantas eneded up with him.

Summary: Don't mess with history
Review: The three stars are for the technical items - music, entertainment value, movie quality. Your kids won't be disappointed and it is a worthy sequel. Many reviews have wondered why so many are up in arms in regards to the Pocahontas movies, when other classic stories have been altered for contemporary audiences. It's very simple - Pocahontas, John Smith / Rolfe and even poor Ratcliffe were REAL people, not myths. To fictionalize their lives is an injustice to them and their descendants. Ratcliffe gets a bum rap, in particular (we always have to have a villian, right?). How would you feel if you were a descendant of this man and the way he is treate in these movies? Smith and Rolfe both come out smelling like roses, when their true stories are not so innocent. As for Pocahontas herself, hers was a very short (she only lived to be about 22) story. She was only 10 or 11 when she met the much older John Smith (more of a father figure than a lover), she most likely married John Rolfe (a tobacco planter) to be removed from a year of captivity. She converted to Christianity and had a child before she ever went to England. And she died on her way back to Jamestown, right after "PII" ends. Take this movie and the previous one for what it is - PURE FICTION. If your kids ask, tell them the same, as there is as much fact here as Hercules, Hunchback of ND, Peter Pan or any other Disney movie.

Summary: The Worst Movie in the World!!!
Review: There's only one word to describe how I feel about this movie: HATE!!! This was probably one of the first Disney sequels I ever saw, and also the worst. Even "The Return of Jafar" was better than this one, and that's saying alot!! I can't believe she ditched John Smith. It just dosn't make any sense. Mr. Rolphe isn't very outstanding either. Though they never show it in this movie (I don't think), there is a little bit of a historical record in it. Pocahontas DID marry John Rolfe. She went back to London with him and became a Christian. About 2 years later she died of a disease. I have this sense of knowing when a movie is bad from the very beginning. After Flit smashes into that flower painting I knew this would be a bad movie; and it is!! I finally had to sell this movie to forget about it forever. Thankfully, I can now watch the first Pocahontas in peace, without worry. :) So please, don't waste your money on this garbage. Buy a good, decent film instead. Like Finding Nemo....

Summary: Well made children's entertainment.
Review: This DVD has been available since 1999 in the UK (DVD Region 2). Given that it's a sequel there is very little to critisize it from technical view point. The quality of the animation is up to the usual high Disney standards, the voices are excellent and music solid (if not particularly memorable), fare for the musical interludes. Historically, there is nothing to be said that hasn't already been said about an original, suffice to say that it's a fictional work based loosely on some historical characters. The greatest disappointment though is, in my own opinion, the lack of that creative spark that lifts the feature from being entertainment for children (which it certainly is) to being well rounded family entertainment. The plot is simple and well developed but nevertheless predictable and weighed down more than it need be by unsubtle political correctness and morality lessons that hinder the story's pace. Overall, it's very good children's entertainment but I would hesitate to call it a family movie because I doubt it would gauge the attention of many adults for the full hour and a quarter.

Summary: Different Cultures
Review: This is a top notch production. The songs are sweet and the story is wonderful. It is an exciting way for children to learn a little history, even though it is not entirely accurate. It reflects the rigid cultural bias Pocahontas had to overcome. It is a good account of two different cultures meeting. Some comments: "Great." "Awesome." "It was a good story because Pocahontas was a good person." "The Indians have brown skin like me." "It was funny." "I learned a little about Pocahontas; now I need to read and see what really happened and if the movie goes along with it." Best for ages 5 to 8.

Summary: A So-So Movie, NOT the Best
Review: This movie is definitely NOT as good as the original! It's sorta boring, and it's not one that you would choose to watch over and over. I bought it before I saw it, and was extremely displeased because it doesn't have the charm as the first one did. History notes: She did marry John Rolfe, but she never returned to her homeland. In a nutshell this movie is about her coming to England for diplomatic matters, meeting a housekeeper, getting tricked into going to a ball, getting put in prison for a night, and they stop an armada (ship). It isn't really exciting. You can't argue with the music, but it still doesn't match up to Colors of the Wind. (...)
