Pocahontas II - Journey to a New World (Disney Gold Classic Collection)

Pocahontas II - Journey to a New World (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
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
Customer Review: The original one was way better
It's is fine movie but the production quality is so bad, I don't like the story. The original was way better. Do not buy this movie
Customer Review: Not Bad. Not great either.
I think it goes without saying that you shouldn't expect historical accuracy out of Disney. This is a company built on talking mice and mermaids, so I didn't wasn't looking for a history lesson. That aside, this movie wasn't as horrible as most of the direct-to-video sequels. The songs weren't memorable, but they didn't grate on my nerves. And, while I'm no expert, I felt that the animation wasn't bad either. It wasn't on par with the first movie. But it wouldn't have been out of place on a Saturday morning cartoon. My 3-year-old seemed to have mixed feelings about this one. She loved that Pocahontas danced in a ballgown, just like the other Disney princesses. But there were long stretches of the movie with no action that seemed to bore her. Pocahontas herself seemed a little stiff and wooden. There was more chemistry between John Smith and John Rolfe than there was between either "John" and Pocahontas. Because of this, my daugher didn't really understand that Pocahontas didn't end up with John Smith. Overall, this one is worth renting. But don't buy it.
