Pocahontas: Muscial Masterpiece
True to the spirit of a great Disney classic, this extraordinary film bursts with music and adventure from Just Around the Riverbend, and now, for the first time, witness it all in high definition on Blu-ray.Along the edgewaters of Virginia, Pocahontas, the free-spirited daughter of Chief Powhatan, watches as a mysterious shipload of English settlers arrives, led by the greedy Governor Ratcliffe and the courageous Captain John Smith. Along with her playful pals, Meeko, a mischievous raccoon, and feisty hummingbird, Flit, Pocahontas develops a strong friendship with Captain Smith. But when tensions mount between their two very different cultures, Pocahontas seeks the lively wisdom of Grandmother Willow to help her find a way for everyone to live together in peace.Winner of two Academy Awards (1995) for Best Song ('Colours Of The Wind) and Best Musical Score, Pocahontas surrounds you with the riches of another glowing winner in Disney's animated hit parade!
Disney's direct-to-video sequel to their 1995 hit places the Native American princess 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 racoon 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

Two different worlds. One true love. An epic adventure story of courage and friendship set against the magical backdrop of the New World. The arrival in New England of a mysterious shipload of English settlers led by Captain John Smith (Mel Gibson) alarms the local Indian tribe. For Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) the Indian Chief's beautiful daughter Smith's arrival marks the beginning of an emotional journey which changes both their lives forever...
The lowest point in Disney's opportunistic revisionism of source stories for its animated features in the 1990s, Pocahontas presents the title character (voiced by Irene Bedard) as a voluptuous Indian babe who falls for the British plunderer Captain John Smith (Mel Gibson). Half-baked if trendy paganism abounds in the film's depiction of nature as possessing consciousness (though talking trees certainly aren't new to cartoons). But the dubious legitimacy of the film's premise and characterisations calls everything into question. The songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz--while Oscar-winning--fall short of the standard Menken achieved in superior Disney predecessors including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. --Tom Keogh
