| DVD Description Disney's direct-to-video sequel to their 1995 hit places Pocahontas in harm's way in London, where she is almost tossed into jail and has some other mishaps. She's not alone, however: a cute raccoon named Meeko does a nice job as the obligatory funny animal. The songs are about as memorable as those in the first film, but the art and animation maintain far higher standards than most animated sequels dumped onto tape. If you don't drive yourself nuts thinking about the appalling historical revisionism at work here, this is passable family entertainment. --Tom Keogh |

Reversing a lie never works Alright here's what I think. The film only had two decent songs: "Where Do I Go From Here" and my favorite, "Between Two Worlds". That London song was crap. The thing most people seem to be mad about is that Pocahontas ended up with John Rolfe instead of Smith. And I don't blame any of yall one bit. The sequel totally dashes all of the imagination and magic of the first film because of this. Disney wasn't concerned with historical accuracy in the first film. Why bother with it in the second? Disney should have never made Pocahontas and Smith fall in love in the first place if they were so concerned with adhering to history. If you're gonna lie, complete the lie. Finish the lie so that it makes sense. Don't cut it off before it is told. The reason why Disney screwed up is because they started of with a lie and then tried to reverse it by telling the truth. Not a good idea. They should have told the truth from the beginning if that was the case. Pocahontas should have ended up with John Smith, historically accurate or not. As some of you previously mentioned, it's Disney, not history.
Let down. Seeing as how Pocahontas was the worlds best animated film to date you would think that the sequal would be almost, if not quite as good as the original. This film however was a huge disappointment to me. There is only one remotely good song in it. And John Rolfe can't hold a candle to John Smith!
AAAHHH!! HORRIBLE SEQUEL!!!! THIS IS THE MOST AWFUL MOVIE EVER!!!!
I LOVE the original Pocahontas and that is probably one of my favorite Disney movies. But I DID NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE!!!!! DON'T EVER SEE THIS MOVIE!!! AAHH!!! Save yourself the torture!!!
The songs were obviously pathetic seeing that I can't remember any of them, whereas I remember the songs from other good Disney movies that I haven't seen in years! They totally botched the original characters, drew them awfully, and the ones they added were disgusting. John Rolfe is definitely a creep, but apparently he's "historically accurate." To heck with historically accurate! Who CARES? It's a Disney movie!!! NONE of them are historically accurate, and nobody cares!
So here's the storyline: Pocahontas goes to England as "an ambassador of peace" to stop the British king from attacking her people. There she meets John Rolfe, they fall in love. Then they go to an English ball where Pocahontas will prove to the king that she and her people are not savages and then the king will not attack them. During the ball several insane things happen and Pocahontas actually succeeds in doing the opposite of her mission. The British people have a "bear baiting" where they kill a bear for entertainment. Pocahontas rushes forward and freaks out, calls the king and his people savages for treating bears like this, (Pocahontas wouldn't do that!!!!) and miraculously she doesn't get bitten by this bear even though she's right by its face. The king of course orders that she be thrown in jail and so they do. And Rolfe doesn't even try to stop it all! John Smith (unfortunately drawn very sloppily) overhears this piece of news in a pub (since when does go to pubs?), and goes to find Rolfe (I can't remember how he knows Rolfe exists, and quite frankly I would love to forget this whole movie exists), and together they go to rescue her. Except that part didn't work for me because there aren't supposed to be two heroes in a Disney movie. It's just not fair. Somehow then they get out of that scrape, and then there's a scene where Pocahontas wants to go back to the king and straighten things out. But if the king put her in jail, then he will be mad that she's out of jail without his OK, right? But somehow that's overlooked in the end. And John Smith says she's crazy for wanting to go back and all this stuff that he would never say to Pocahontas. After that it was so boring that I can't remember anything until the very end, where John Smith comes running over to Pocahontas all excited that he's getting his own ship and is going to travel the world. Since when does he care about all that? He's seen "hundreds of new worlds," according to the first movie, and he's been on voyages all over the place. So why does he care suddenly now? And Rolfe is watching all this with a bratty, pouty look on his face. And then Pocahontas quite bluntly dumps John Smith and goes off to the New World with Rolfe. And that's it.
Isn't that awful?
I seriously hope they make a Pocahontas III and something needs to happen to Rolfe and then Pocahontas and John Smith get back together. That's how it should be.
P.S. Oh yeah, I just remembered one of the songs. But I wish I hadn't. Something about a nice day in London town. It was awful.
