Pocahontas

Coming from someone who actually does enjoy the Golden Films, I found their Pocahontas not just the weakest of the four Pocahontas animations I've seen(this, Disney's, Burbank Animation Studios' and Jetlag's), but also one of Golden Films' weakest. Though I don't say worst, Tarzan of the Apes and The Jungle King are contenders for that dishonourable title(I didn't care all that much for Anastasia either), but for the gems from Golden Films, look no further than Thumbelina, Little Mermaid, Pinocchio and Night Before Christmas. This Pocahontas is not all bad though, there are two good characters, Pocahontas who's beautiful, beyond her years and genuinely cares for those who love her and the white eagle who is very wise. The title song is memorable, and the classical music choices are again fun to spot and good for introducing children to the style. Night on Bare Mountain for my tastes was too obvious in use this time around, but there are many other times where the classical music is very effectively used, the use of The Flying Dutchman Overture with the ships coming in was very fitting.

However, the animation has been much better before and since this. The colours are rather over-saturated, the backgrounds are bright but have no sense of life to them and the character designs are both stiff and clichéd. The rest of the characters I didn't care for, the yellow bird I felt was unnecessary and sometimes annoyed me with his commentaries even in serious scenes, while the chief and John Smith are not developed enough to make us really care for them and the villain is little more than a stereotype. The writing has its thoughtful moments with the eagle, but often is corny and doesn't flow well, while the storytelling never does have much sense of conflict and Pocahontas and John Smith's relationship is never really strong enough to believe in it. The voice work is mixed, Pocahontas has her passive moments but is mostly sincere and kindly, while the eagle has a soothing, benevolent sort of voice. However, the villain is not menacing enough, almost effeminate in some places, while John Smith has moments but overall inexpressive, the yellow bird is annoying and I just didn't see the point of him and the Chief is not distinguished enough. All in all, not terrible but at the end of the day I just didn't care for it. 4/10 Bethany Cox

The unique thing About Pocahontas is that it provides the best characters in it with good hearable music I give a big kudo's to you guys for making out this type of version you are all the best all the time.

It is more on the bad side than the good one, but it's watchable enough. The film lacks in a clear storyline and the writing is off.

Having the eagle and the yellow bird tell almost everything makes the story loss the impact and makes them look as narrators. The dialogs are very cheesy. The way Pocahontas tries to woo John at the beginning looks too bland to be convincing, and we saw no chemistry whatsoever. The film doesn't have a solid conflict and just feels like a bunch of events like in the Tarzan and Huncbkack films, even if it's better than both.

The characters are for the most part too bland and uninteresting. Only Pocahontas and the birds are somewhat interesting due to their friendship.

Visually the film is good, with well painted fields and cities.

I just shut the door from anyone trying to reach me and I take my time to watch this movie because the starting of this movie is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and I decided to take my time and watch it very well. This type of movie deserve the best ratings without hesitation because you guys really tried a lot good characters, good music 🎶🎶 everything is just perfect.

Wow wow wow wow this is a really really true and amazing adventures animated story of a rubbish this movie make me feel emotional the Pocahontas movie is really nice and they used to say don't judge a book by its cover I already want to enjoy this movie by his appearance like I'm thinking at this movies for kids but after I watch it as an adult I see this movie is really really amazing so good job guys!.
