Editorial Reviews

Disney followed up The Lion King, its first animated feature based on an original story, with its first such film based on a historical figure, the Indian princess Pocahontas. The strong-willed, free-spirited heroine (voiced by Irene Bedard) listens to the spirits and reckons they’re telling her to follow a path other than what her father, Chief Powhatan (Russell Means), intends for her. A saga of passion and prejudice, Pocahontas is a love story in which the heroine defies Powhatan's plans when English adventurer John Smith arrives on Virginia’s shores, speaking and singing in the lusty, robust voice of Mel Gibson. Accompanying Smith is a shipload of encroaching settlers led by a gold-digging colonial governor named Ratliffe (David Ogden Stiers); greed and cultural differences threaten to escalate into hatred and violence until Pocahontas defies her father to intervene. The tale treats the native Powhatan tribe with respect, even as it takes liberties with history and adds animal sidekicks for comic relief. This 2005 reissue is a marked improvement over the original Pocahontas DVD release, with the original theatrical version of the film as well as a 10th Anniversary Edition. The latter restores to the film the lovely ballad, "If I Never Met You," which Smith sings to Pocahontas on the eve of his scheduled execution (audience restlessness in test screenings spelled its deletion). Archival treasures include an early "presentation reel" of the film-in-progress, storyboarded deleted scenes, and a 1995 segment devoted to the film's historic premiere in New York's Central Park (there’s an uncomfortable line about the event requiring enough electricity "to light the World Trade Center"). Bedard hosts a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, and there is a segment about Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz's Oscar-winning musical score, which includes "Colors of the Wind." Audio commentaries further heighten appreciation for the animators' truly stunning work. Donald Liebenson, Barnes & Noble

Pocahontas 10th Ann. DVDby Anonymous

December 01, 2008: I absolutely loved this movie when I was younger. I watched it over and over and eventually wore out the tape. When I found out about the additional scene in the 10th Ann. DVD I bought it then and there. The extra scene fits in seemlessly with the rest of the movie, and should never have been taken out in the first place- in my opinion. My only problem with the DVD is that the colors of the characters are a little darker/lighter then they probably should be. But it is a GREAT movie for anyone of any age!

I Also Recommend: Mulan, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid.

August 11, 2008: Who hasn't heard of this movie and just loved it when they were young? One of my fave fave scenes I remembered was when Smith thinks he's being followed and jumps out from the cave and aims his gun at Pocahontas. The non dialogue scene was just haunting and mesmerizing at the same time. This tells the somewhat true story of the title character and of meeting John Smith while her and his people are at odds. I just love the Raccoon including the little dog where later they become friends, they were just so cute. When I was younger I remembered that Grandmother Willow used to scare me a little but later she was nice. Disney should go back to making movies like this whether its animated or live action but with at least a good story. The sequel wasn't that bad.
