Pocahontas II - Viaggio nel nuovo mondo

I know everyone bashed this movie because we all know the sequel is never as good as the original right? While Pocahontas 2 did somewhat live up to my expectations in the beginning, I was totally let down by the ending. Pocahontas travels to London in order to meet the king and settle issues between their people but he agrees to meet her only if she attends a ball to prove she is civilized. Some parts must admit were humorous and what I expected and hope. When she comes to England, her fascination and reaction is just what I expected. The songs weren't bad, really. They were witty but of course not as good as the first. I wouldn't totally bash the songs, they were alright. All in all, the story line wasn't bad. However, and ****SPOILER ALERT FROM HERE ON***

They did make Pocahontas fall in love with another man and I was just totally bummed and disappointed at that. She was in love with John Smith first then she's in love with another man now?! I saw the white dress in the picture and thought she would marry John Smith. Anyways that just totally ruined it for me - like i want to erase it all. Besides that, although a crucial thing for me,if i were to judge solely up until the ending, I actually sort of liked the movie. Oh, and one more thing...RATCLIFFE. What was that?! The king believes only him and where are all the crew member from the last movie to vouch for John Smith and prove Ratcliffe's innocence. That was a P.O. to be honest. OK i'm done.

First off, let me say that when I was very little, I used to love this sequel as well as Pocahontas 1 when I used to watch them both very often on VCR. I also used to know all of the words to "Where do I go from here" when I was in Elementary School, and sometimes I would even sing that and "Colors of the Wind" to myself. But I am in college now, and what do I think of this movie today? This is SO AWFUL! Pretend this movie doesn't exist, and erase it from your memory unless you like to look back to your childhood. I would also like to say how this movie and the first have some accurate historical elements to them, but I don't like how a lot of things about this horrible direct-to-video sequel are INACCURATE to the real life Pocahontas, who in fact, DID travel to London and marry John Rolfe. In this film, I didn't like John Rolfe's personality much, and I thought Disney should have made this movie even more inaccurate by having Pocahontas end up with John SMITH instead of ROLFE. Skip this atrocious sequel, watch the first movie if you have a sibling or a parent who likes that movie, and otherwise, watch a documentary from PBS or the History Channel that explains the actual Pocahontas.

As most animated sequels, one cannot expect much from the plotline, the music, or the animation. But, even with this in mind, I found Pocahontas 2, although having its moments, was quite disappointing, and a major contradiction to the original feature film. Most of the characters were two dimensional, and the depth and feeling of the first film was non-existent. The movie's short length also prevented the movie from going any further and explaining all the abrupt changes in character, especially the romance between Pocahontas and John Smith, as well as between Pocahontas and John Rolfe. For anyone who liked the original film, the sequel could be hazardous to your health.

I recently watched the original Pocohontas after such a long time and was so inspired by the original, that I told myself I would watch the second. I watched Pocohontas 2 and was thoroughly thoroughly disappointed. I felt that the first half of the movie had barely any story and revolved around the hummingbird, the raccoon and the dog. The second half of the movie contained the whole plot and was squeezed so that it seemed like a rush. The plot and the emphasis on the animals was not the worst. The worst was the depiction of John Smith. In the first movie, he transformed from a selfish and action chasing man to a kind and selfless man (evident by him giving his life to save the chief). The movie turned him completely into a selfish man only worried about himself and one who didn't seem in love with the woman that he should of been. Please do not watch this movie. My idea of John Smith is completely obscured and I have been thoroughly disappointed.

My sister and I deny the existence of this movie.

Please do not watch it, it'll only ruin your memory of the original Pocahontas. The animation is sub-par and the musical numbers are dreadful. I sat there asking myself why characters in the movie suddenly burst into song, which is not something that you are supposed to do while watching a musical. It's supposed to be a seamless transition which in this movie, it definitely is not. The dialogue is silly and the movie contains absolutely none of the magic and romance found in the first movie. I wish I could unwatch this movie, so if you have not yet seen it, count your blessings and forget it exists.
