June 12, 2011I loved this movie when I was a kid, but now, I'm not as crazy about it. It does have a good Disney Princess, good songs, and nice animation. The story isn't fantastic, but it's good enough for a kids movie. Overall, a good Disney movie.

April 28, 2011It blew my mind when I found out John Smith was played by Mel Gibson. I don't think I've ever seen a proper Mel Gibson movie, save for this one. Regardless, I just don't buy the romance between Pocahontas and Smith. Just because you guys had a jaunt painting with all the colors o... read more

April 25, 2011Pocahontas is a severely under-appreciated movie. On the basis that it contains the voice talents of Mel Gibson and Christian Bale alone makes it a must see. It also has some really great ideas about the world that existed before the English took over America. Sure, some of it is... read more

March 28, 2011A really enjoyable kids movie, but what really stands out is the mind bending and wonderful music. The story will bore some kids, but other will really like this.

All Disney has really done in its disappointing 33rd animated feature is revive the stereotype of the Noble Savage.

Any damage such revisionist history may impose on young minds is offset by the honestly inspiring thoughts Pocahontas offers. Full Review

Disney deserves praise for raising the ante on its ambitions in animation. Next time, though, a little less civics lesson and a little more heart.
