Reviews for Pocahontas
A surprisingly understated and mature romantic drama that just happens to be animated.

Though released during the Disney slump that came post-Lion King, Pocahontas was the last truly quality Disney animated film until Tarzan came along a few years later. It doesn't touch the aforementioned Lion, but a worthy part of your collection.

Horrible. Racist. An affront.

This is one of Disney's best.

Any damage such revisionist history may impose on young minds is offset by the honestly inspiring thoughts Pocahontas offers.

Top CriticA 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.

Centers upon a heroine whose soul and spirit are worth emulating.

Disney's 33rd animated feature, and its first with characters based on real people, is a stunning movie with clever twists, vivid characterizations, insightful songs and a surprising harvest of revisionist history.

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
Disney deserves praise for raising the ante on its ambitions in animation. Next time, though, a little less civics lesson and a little more heart.

Top CriticAdult viewers, spoiled by what has come before, may feel that this film, which relates the legendary romance between a chief's daughter and English adventurer John Smith in the New World, is more by-the-numbers than inspired.
02/13/01
Top CriticWith an original score by Alan Menken and Gilbert and Sullivan-ish songs by Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, the movie is the cartoon equivalent of a full-scale, high-quality Broadway musical.
01/01/00
With Pocahontas, the artists at Disney once again prove that when it comes to animation, no can hold a candle to them.
