Product Description:
A powhatan maiden rejects the warrior her father chose for english settler john smith.Studio: Buena Vista Home VideoRelease Date: 09/14/2007Run time: 84 minutesRating: G
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.

Rating: - 10th Anniversary Edition finally does justice to underrated classic
I always liked this movie, but it seemed over-edited, like there was too much missing.It turns out there was, and with this 10th Anniversary DVD release, Disney finally fixed those problems with storyline and emotional impact, notably with the inclusion of the duet "If I Never Knew You."I hadn't seen this movie since the VHS release, which didn't look good:the bright colors bled into each other on tape.Apparently, the earlier DVD release wasn't that great, either.But THIS release shows ...

My daughter is only four but she liked this.We did have to explain to her about the violent parts, but once she heard that, she was okay with the entire movie.
Rating: - Good item with a compelling story.
It offers an interesting look at the life of Native Americans before America was conquered. I liked the approach that Disney too in delivering the story since it attracts the young crowd.
Rating: - My Daughter Loves It.
We had a video of Pocahontas, but needed/wanted a DVD. Since we got it in the mail she won't stop playing it. She's two yrs old and tries her best to sing along with all of the songs. Thank you for a great product.
