Reviews for Pocahontas
...being away from its high-powered predecessors, it has marched on well on its own.
05/03/05
A refreshing combination of old-fashioned animation and contemporary technology, Pocahontas is less about story and more about the artistic possibilities of color, detail and striking reality.
05/14/03
Taking advantage of the studio's breathtakingly intricate animation, directors Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg have breathed vitality into this, the fifth 'new wave' Disney animated picture.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe film of the Disney Renaissance likeliest to elicit a shudder of dismay from all but the most maniacal Disney buffs.

As long as Republicans are in power, the line "You think the only people who are people are the people who look and think like you" will remain relevant.
05/26/05
Centers upon a heroine whose soul and spirit are worth emulating.
08/27/02
Both resplendent and restrained.
01/01/00
[A] handsome, deeply felt, even more deeply reverent animated musical.
09/02/08
Top CriticA surprisingly understated and mature romantic drama that just happens to be animated.
01/11/04
Pocahontas is the best-looking of the modern Disney animated features, and one of the more thoughtful: It is about real issues, even if it treats them with naive idealism.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe Disney artists have created a vivid palette for the picture.
05/26/08
Top CriticDisney's 33rd animated feature is so good that it deserves to follow in the beautiful footsteps of Beauty and the Beast and earn an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.
04/17/02
Why make a Disney cartoon and take all the fun out of it?
02/27/07
Top CriticDisney's well-meaning solemnity seeps over the characters like spilled ink.
01/01/00
True to the film's idealized spirit, directors Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg similarly fend off history.
04/23/05
Not only historically dubious, but the dullest Disney animation for years.
09/02/08
With Pocahontas, the artists at Disney once again prove that when it comes to animation, no can hold a candle to them.
01/01/00
All Disney has really done in its disappointing 33rd animated feature is revive the stereotype of the Noble Savage.
