Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Inspired by the actual events from the life of Native American Pocahontas, the Disney writers wish to tell her story to all children around the world, but sadly filling the screenplay with historical inaccuracies, while keeping it's formulaic Disney princess approach and furry companions."Pocahontas" fictionalizes the eponymous character's encounter with Englishman John Smith and the Jamestown settlers. While not having such immense impact as the two previous Disney animations, "The Lion King" and "Aladdin", "Pocahontas" still provokes the mind and questions how and why the Natives where mistreated by the settlers. A quick answer would be the times when those events occurred, but that will never excuse the actions themselves.As with any Disney animated feature film, the songs are what everyone should be looking for, and "Pocahontas" delivers with a beautiful original soundtrack, winning two Academy awards, one for the everlasting song "Colors of the Wind"."Pocahontas" is a good Disney movie, but it will not make the top ten list.

Pocahontas (1995)I remember the backlash when this movie was released, there was a big backlash about how the Native Americans were portrayed, depending on the article, it was rather insensitive at best or racist at worst. Personally I don't think it's that bad. It's not as good as the other Disney movies released around that time. Aladdin, Beauty & The Beast, Little Mermaid and of course The Lion King are vastly superior!! But it's not the awful movie you may remember!! I'll probably never watch it again in my life, and truthfully if my girlfriends daughter wasn't sat watching with me, I may have even turned it off, but I have sat through worse. Despite the critical mailing, Pocahontas grossed $141 million at the domestic box office, to end the year the fourth highest grossing movie of 1995.

This was the most under-appreciated Disney film of all time. I rewatched it last night and finally grasped just how great it was over 20 years later.The animation and scenery were both gorgeous and the colors in the Virginia countryside were fantastic. No, it wasn't historically accurate, but it did contain issues that hold significance to this day. I truly believe that this film belongs in the top 5 Disney films ever.Pocahontas character was the most realistic Disney figure to that point and the animal characters were hilarious. One can only hope that with the passing of time that Pocahontas will get the respect it deserves.

I haven't watched Pocahontas in maybe ten years, but I was feeling nostalgic one day and popped it in. I could not believe how truly BEAUTIFUL this movie is, in every aspect. STORY: Dramatic (with it's humorous moments of course), romantic, and it carries a very important message of peace, maturity, and fighting against ignorance and prejudice from BOTH sides. This is possibly the Disney movie with the greatest message for kids.ANIMATION: Drop. Dead. Gorgeous. Every single frame is such wonderful eye candy, and the camera work serves the sweeping story line extremely well.MUSIC: Aside from the songs everyone knows (Just Around the River Bend and Colors of the Wind) every single other song in the film is wonderful, with soaring harmonies and Broadway quality singing. Everything was masterfully written and executed. The music alone is reason enough for this to be adapted into a full out Broadway musical, but don't worry...the music is brilliant but it doesn't scream "MUSICAL!" like Hairspray or Mamma Mia.HISTORIC ACCURACY: Yes, Disney changed the true story quite a bit, but if you look to Disney for accurate re-telling's of historical events you have a serious PROBLEM. This movie is more 'Inspired by' than 'Based on' and since the true story is about a 13-14 year old falling in love with 30-40 year I think we can all appreciate that they took some liberties with a KIDS' MOVIE.All in all, I really don't get why this isn't revered as a classic right along with The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast.
