Product Description:
This is the original Walt Disney Pocahontas movie!
Amazon.com:
Disney's take on this historical confrontation between European settlersand Native Americans follows the paths of two future lovers. One is British adventurer John Smith, who travels the Atlantic with the Virginia Company to establish Jamestown. On the shore is Pocahontas, a typical Disney heroine: bright, beautiful, mischievous, and motherless. The two meet in the untamed wilds of America (the first meeting is quite divine), fall in love, and try to ward off the warring factions. It's Disney's version of a Native American West Side Story. Two Disney trademarks do not quite muster up: the villain isn't hissable and the score's only high point is the Oscar-winning "Colors of the Wind." Calling it "historical" is a stretch, but Disney created a very natural look at the two cultures. The Native American characters are handled especially well, andkids should be intrigued by their world; the movie is a far different lesson from the one their parents and grandparents learned. Disney has discovered a few things, though: you don't have to kill to solve your problems, and you can end the film without a happily-ever-after, illustrated by a touching final visual.

Thenk you. I facilitate a book club with members from our Local MRDD facility. We read Pochantas as a recent selection. I was looking for the movie to use as our culminating activity. This arrived in a timely manner and was just what I was looking for. Vera

A fun story about the collision of cultures as the English and the native American tribes clash with each other in colonial Virginia. As always with Disney films there is some excellent musical scores and an entertaining storyline. A fun film for the whole family!

This is the first movie I ever saw in a theatre. I remember sitting next to my mom and knowing I would always love this movie as the conch shells were blown to welcome home the warriors. I din't care about it not being historically accurate. I loved the colors, the music, the people, and Meeko. :)
True, this movie bears no resemblance to historical fact. But ignore that and watch the story. There is a powerful message about the dangers of prejudice. The song Savages always chills me to the ... Read More

- pocahontas vhs
we did not recieve this movie. I got an email from the seller telling me they were sorry to hear I cancelled my order. I told them I did not cancel the order and I needed this movie for Christmas. I never heard back from them. Very poor communication and did not get my movie and actually have to check if I even got my money back. Very unsatisfied.
Rating: - Wonderful sound track
Great movie for the kids (although not historically very accurate) or a relaxing evening at home with your Wife.
Typical Disney story with a happy ending and great music!!! Good story for the whole family.
