Review of Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998) by Robert H — 10 Apr 2013

Historical inacurasies aside, this film has some very bizarre messages whether it be with regards to tradition, native beliefs, romance, or how a sequel should be made.

The songs here aren't better than the first and the best of them are too similar to the first film to truly stand on their own.

The animation is great and the characters fun but Disney should have either gone full tilt make believe or stayed closer to history.

Can't say I've seen many films where the love story in the first one was essentially thrown out with the second film but that's essentially what we get with this film.

Again, I'm not sure what this film was trying to portray as a message but I couldn't find many good ones in it.
