ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Jack Banister I don't think this movie deserves to be ranked as low as "one star" because it does have some entertainment value, but it also has to be one of the worst Disney movies I've EVER SEEN.I should have guessed the movie would be bad when I saw "Disney Home Video Presents," but I didn't realize until the opening scene that this movie was a disaster. As soon as the movie opens we can see that the animation sucks as the Jamestown landscape that was so rich and wonderfully animated in "Pocahantas," is reduced to a few barren trees and snow that is void of any sort of texture. Sure, it's winter...but it must have been a budget constraint because there is NO attention to detail in the landscape. The main characters were well animated out of necessity, but everything else gets the shaft. The boats are particularly poorly animated. The plot is pretty lazy, but gets to the point well enough. Like others on here complained, this movie tries too hard to be "by the book" historically speaking, so much so that it forces an awkward romance with John Rolfe at the expense of the likable John Smith from the first film. Unlike the others, I don't have a problem with Pocahantas ending up with Rolfe (It did happen after all), but I have a problem with the lack of romantic buildup between the two as well as making John Smith seem like an arrogant jack wagon just to make "Rolfahantas" happen. My old screen writing professor would call that an "easy out" used instead of taking the time to flesh out the relationship. At only 72 minutes running time, there was more than enough room to develop that nicely. I know I'm being overly harsh on a direct to video, sequel, but you have to criticize lazy film making when you see it. I gave it three stars because Mrs. Jenkins was funny and there were some moments that made my daughter and I laugh, but other than that, this movie was very forgettable.*Drops mic*

Ash Chen Spoiler Alert - I simply had to create an account on IMDb just so I could rate this movie.If you haven't watched it yet, consider yourself lucky. Don't watch it. It'll leave you with a very disappointed feeling and will be a waste of an hour and 13 minutes of your life.Okay, yes, obviously the creators of the first Pocahontas didn't pay attention during history class, but Disney is not supposed to be historically accurate. Their movies are inspired by these legends, not entirely based off of them. I personally think the first movie was amazing, and one of my favorites, despite all the mistakes.However, Disney had to go on and create another sequel to Pocahontas, and instead of making the beautiful movie they had created before, they make two dimensional characters, bland lines, and songs that didn't seem to fit into the scene.Even worse, and this part is the part that disappointing me the most, instead of ending up with the original hero, John Smith, Pocahontas decides to go with the newly introduced main male character, John Rolfe. Yes, Disney actually got this little fact right; she does end up marrying him in reality, but do I care? When I get to the end of this movie, I expect the original couple to be together! What happened to "I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years not knowing you", or "I'll always be with you. Forever."? *Sigh* "It'd would have been better if we had never met. None of this would have happened" Yes, maybe it would have been Pocahontas. Then you could have gotten together with John Rolfe and I wouldn't be /quite/ so disappointed with the second movie.

Stompgal_87 I first saw this film when I was about 12 or 13 when my dad rented it from his gym and while I found it an average film to begin with, it was also forgettable apart from the brief running gag of Meeko's seasickness. Fast forward several years later, I watched the Nostalgia Chick's 'Top 5 Least Awful Disney Sequels' where she placed this at no. 5 tied with 'The Lion King II: Simba's Pride' and the clips from this film refreshed my memory to a certain extent. More recently after having re-visited the lovely original, I decided to watch this on Amazon Instant Video and as I watched it, I was surprised at how I enjoyed it even more than I did first time around despite a couple of cons.Beginning with these cons, the animation quality is not as good as that in the first with the odd jerky movement and a Saturday morning cartoon look, particularly on the background characters, despite some effective uses of cel-shading, lighting and the principles of follow through and overlapping action and squash and stretch. The second con is that there are some historical inaccuracies with regard to Pocahontas visiting England (the original had similar inaccuracies too) but in spite of this the story on the whole is engaging, especially when Pocahontas is adjusting to British customs.Further to the positives, the incidental music is surprisingly good for a DTV sequel as it sounds cinematic and majestic in parts. While the songs here are not quite as good as the ones in the original, I really liked 'Where Do I Go From Here?,' 'What a Day in London' and 'Things Are Not What They Appear' as well as the gorgeous closing credits song. The characters who appeared in the original make a welcoming return, especially Pocahontas herself and Meeko, Flit and Percy (who are their usual cute and amusing selves here), but Nakoma and Grandmother Willow get considerably less screen time here than they did in the original, but this makes sense nonetheless. There are some worthwhile new characters such as John Rolfe, his supportive maid Mrs Jenkins albeit her somewhat repetitive dialogue about putting the tea on and Uti, who rarely speaks but is strong-willed nonetheless. The dialogue was decent but predictable in parts. Despite Donal Gibson replacing his brother for the voice of John Smith, he did his best to recreate the voice while Irene Bedard (speaking) and Judy Khun (singing) were more than welcome as Pocahontas; David Ogden Stiers was as menacing for John Ratcliffe; and Billy Zane and Jim Cummings were great as John Rolfe and King James respectively.Overall, the animation quality may be slightly lacklustre here but otherwise this film was far more enjoyable second time around with its story, inaccuracies aside, and music as its best pros. 8/10.

cajgray The first Pocahontas was beautiful! A wonderful love story! It's my favorite Disney movie of all time! John Smith is hot! Pocahontas 2 not only made me angry but it was just stupid! Pocahontas fought all throughout that movie to be with John Smith and didn't even stay with him. Sucks! The Plot line to me was just dumb, there wasn't as much emotion as the first one! The bright colors and the beauty of nature was gone and John Rolfe can go somewhere with his stupid ugly clothing! John Smith and Pocahontas were meant to be even though it didn't happen in real life. They just created that stupid mess to get a little extra money! And by the looks of the reviews doesn't seem they got much! Worst sequel to a movie I have ever seen! Don't go see it! It's a waste of time!
