Just about everything in this lavish, animated feature is for the pigtail set.

Top Critic[A] handsome, deeply felt, even more deeply reverent animated musical.

Top CriticOverall this seems like a reasonable stab at an impossible agenda.

Top CriticAll Disney has really done in its disappointing 33rd animated feature is revive the stereotype of the Noble Savage.
09/02/08
Top CriticThe Disney artists have created a vivid palette for the picture.

Top CriticWhy make a Disney cartoon and take all the fun out of it?
02/27/07
Top CriticAny damage such revisionist history may impose on young minds is offset by the honestly inspiring thoughts Pocahontas offers.
