Summary: Nice visuals and music. Decent rental.
Review: Pocahontas is one of the weaker Disney animated movies, but still much better than anything that came out after it(except for maybe Mulan). It has the distinct honor of being the last Disney movie to have decent music. It may not have been a memorable film story and character-wise, but the music and fluent animation always bring me back to the summer of 1995. If you're looking for a enjoyably romantic movie with a touch of wry humor, you're better off waiting for the Beauty and the Beast DVD. Pocahontas is way too preachy and stiff for its own good.

Summary: DISNEY DOES IT AGAIN...
Review: Though this Disney musical does not have the pure fantasy and magic of their true classic films (Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, etc.), it is a beautiful and easy-to-swallow history lesson all the same. The history, while embellished and changed to contain a love story and a few forest creatures with sparkling personalities, paints a noble picture of Native Americans, and is sure to engender conversation in your family. As pure entertainment, the old Disney touches are here in spades, from the omnipresent swirling flurries of colored leaves, to the gliding, hypnotic romps through the rivers and forest, to the melody-soaked score, which includes the hit Colors of The Wind and the equally lovely Just Around The Riverbend. Disney's Pocahontas is a true babe; an independent spirit and a good foible for the bad guys, who of course show up sooner rather than later.

Summary: Not the best Disney movie, but still good.
Review: Every animated Disney movie takes a stong moral theme and bangs it into with a hammer. In this movie there are a few themes for kids to grow up on. Racism is bad. That's a major one, it's hard not to see that in this movie. Other themes include overcomming obsticles and "cant we all just live toghether in peace!" The animation is good, but the music is hardly memerable and even though the story is good, it is GROSLY different from the true story (changed to make it rated G)Bottom line, if you collect disney animation or you have kids, this belongs in your library. But it's not a movie young boys (or older) will enjoy too much.

Summary: Different...
Review: This is a good Disney cartoon because it doesn't have a impossible happy ending. But the soundtrack is the worst ever made to any Disney's animated film! It's horrible!
Rating:
Summary: A good plot destroyed by songs...
Review: The idea of making a cartoon where the woman is not only a dumb woman (like "CInderella", "White Snow", etc..,but a person with pride and intelligence, beside the fact that this doens't have a happy ending, was wasted by endless horrible songs. This is the cartoon made by Disney with more songs I've ever watched.!

Summary: Definitely a title to include in your child's VHS collection
Review: With beautiful animation, rich colors and much attention to detail (ranging from the backgrounds to the people--even the crew of John Smith's ship have authentic Irish, Scotch, and British accents), and a fantastic sound track, "Pocahontas" is certainly worthy of being included in your family's home video collection. There is much less violence than you find in some recent Disney animated films, bloodshed is not blatant and gory, and the people are just so darned attractive! My three-year-old son describes Pocahontas as "prettier than a Barbie", and she is, indeed. This work of historical fiction may stray a bit from the actual facts, but is, overall, a worthy rendition of the tale of the famous Indian "princess".

Summary: Another substandard Disney effort
Review: I was so disappointed in this film. The animation is lovely, as always, but the ending was disappointing and the music was definitely mediocre. If you're gonna make an entirely fictitious film about a real life historical character, would it hurt to have a happy ending? Instead, John Smith goes back to England alone. What a bummer. Rent, don't buy, this movie.

Summary: One of the best from Disney...
Review: i believe this cartoon to be much more in depth to real-life circumstances than other ones (ie., the little mermaid, etc.). it is very deep where racial tensions are exemplified and the conclusion of the story is no less than dramatic and beautiful! the music in the story is also more than wonderful to the ears and mind. this movie is one of the only cartoons an ADULT can relate to.
