A very good movie.

This showed more character development and tied up loose ends left from the first movie. all the origonal characters from the first one as well as new ones come together to make this a great viewing experience. this is a great treat for all the Disney fans out there. even if you just like Disney its a great watch. on another note this is a vital film in the Disney canon due in part to the fact that Disney will no longer produce new movies based on their classic style of animation. yes disappointing i know but they gave way to only producing new projects with cgi. anyway when does part three come out? i hope its just as good.

What's the Story?

In this sequel, Pocahontas, believing John Smith to have died, goes to London to try to convince the King not to attack her people. On the way she meets another man, also named John, and has various adventures, some dramatic, some silly (her animal friends make the journey with her, and of course they cause amusing but harmless trouble in the old world).

Is It Any Good?

Kids say (15 ):

POCAHONTAS II: JOURNEY TO A NEW WORLD is an enjoyable film, beautifully animated and convincingly performed. But its romantic view of the story of a Native American girl and the English man she conquers through her honesty and beauty is somewhat grating, in light of the realities of what European settlers did to native populations in America.

Without some additional historical information, the film is just a sweet but pointless love story. However, seeing it is a perfect opportunity for children to start to learn the history behind the legend.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about what actually happened between the Native Americans and early English settlers. They could research the true story of Pocahontas, and the history of native cultures in this country.
