VHS Movie Reviews of Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World [VHS]

Movie Review: Loved this movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I found this much more engaging than the first movie. The first one just didn't do it for me. I was like, Pocahontas and John Smith?! Ummm...what? I think a lot of people didn't like this one because there was such a disconnect from the original. Not for me, though. The first one had its merits, that's for sure, but I found this to be much more interesting. It felt more realistic than most Disney films because it addressed a fundamental aspect of life: people move on and change. We're not constant beings, as romantic a notion that may be. We fall in and out of love. In that respect, I was impressed that it had that much balls. Cause, you know, it's Disney. Love is forever and all that jazz. That's not a bad thing, either. It's definitely a positive outlook, but not too grounded in reality.

I loved the music of the first and it's just as good the second time around. I would buy the soundtrack if it were available.

If you're a loyal fan of the first movie, this one probably won't be your cup of tea. But hey, you never know.

Movie Review: My Granddaughter Loves it.
Summary: 4 Stars

My Granddaughter Loves it and asks to watch it a lot. Personally, I think the 1st one was a little better movie all around.

Movie Review: POCAHONTAS: JOURNEY TO THE BARGAIN BIN 4 OUT OF 10
Summary: 2 Stars

I love the first film, but once again Disney feels the need to desecrate another classic. This film isn't bad because no effort was put into it, but rather it seems to have been made with contempt for the viewer. Did we do something to piss off Disney and that's why we get these bad sequels? Is it because we made a non-Disney animated film; Anastasia a box office success? While this is not the worst Disney sequel (There are much worse films), it's still a really bad film. Whatever the reason be for hating us viewers (Even though we pay good money to see your films), here's my opinion for why you need to stay away from this sorry excuse of a film.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: The films starts off with what seems to be John Smith getting killed, and then the king of England sends John Rolfe to Jamestown to find Pocahontas and bring her to England to try and convince the king not to attack her people. So after she is retrieved, she along with her animal friends Meeko the raccoon, Flint the hummingbird, and Percy the dog as well as a guard from her tribe, sail off to England. It's there where she stays with John Rolfe and learns the ways of the English to save her people. But the villain from the first film has returned and keeps lying to the king so he can get an armada to attack her tribe and look for gold again. So Pocahontas must try and save her people before it's too late.
MUSIC: I miss the composer and songwriter from the first film so much. Their replacements are terrible. In fact, the singing scenes are at times so awful I felt sick to my stomach. The musical score by itself is boring and does nothing to make up for the awful singing scenes. There is not one good singing scene, which is really bad considering even the worst of animated sequels have at least maybe one or two good musical scenes. But alas, none are to be found. This area is the polar opposite of its predecessor. The first film had flawless music that gave me goosebumps, while this film had music that made me want to vomit from its awfulness.
ACTING: While some of the voice actors from the original return, even they don't care because they know this film sucks. All of the acting is bad, and pretty suggests that nobody gave a damn about this project and were only there for an extra paycheck while contemplating if they will ever get a respectable role in a film again. Once again, the polar opposite of the first film's fantastic performances.
ACTION: This film is also deadly dull. The first film was a vibrant and exciting love story, while this one is a musical nightmare. The relationship between Pocahontas and John Rolfe is completely devoid of the emotional integrity and livelihood of Pocahontas and John Smith. With this relationship, you just don't care at all. However, that's not to say this film is completely devoid of interesting moments. There are a few amusing moments and there were some good fight scenes, but that's about it.
OVERALL: If you are familiar with any straight-to-video Disney sequels, then you know the drill. Avoid at all costs, because it doesn't hold a candle to its fantastic predecessor in any way. It's just another bad sequel that will only entertain small children and completely alienate fans of the original. This film will be forever condemned to bargain bins, where it rightfully belongs.
THE GOOD: There are a few amusing comedic moments and a few interesting fight scenes.
THE BAD: Terrible story, terrible music, bad acting, and it's boring.

Movie Review: The Story Continues
Summary: 5 Stars

It's nice to have the continuation of the Pocahontas story. It was too long of a tale to be on one disk. Now we have the complete story.

Movie Review: good movie
Summary: 4 Stars

my daughter likes this movie but it is not one of her favorites. she likes the first one better.

Summary of Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World [VHS]

Disney's direct-to-video sequel to their 1995 hit places 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 raccoon 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
