All the music, adventure, and colorful fun of Disney's POCAHONTAS come to life like never before in the 10th Anniversary Edition 2-Disc Set. Bursting with all the "Colors Of The Wind," POCAHONTAS tells the story of a free-spirited girl who wonders what adventures await "Just Around The Riverbend." Pocahontas -- along with her playful pals Meeko and Flit -- relies on the guidance of her loving and wise Grandmother Willow when English settlers arrive on the shores of their village. Her chance meeting with the courageous Captain John Smith leads to a beautiful friendship that bridges the gap between two cultures, and changes history. Now fully restored, POCAHONTAS includes the song "If I Never Knew You," and never-before-seen animation seamlessly integrated into the original film. This 2-Disc 10th Anniversary Edition is loaded with spectacular bonus features, all-new games, and soaring Academy Award(R)-winning music (1995 Best Original Musical Score, Best Original Song, "Colors Of The Wind"). Disney's POCAHONTAS is a fun-filled adventure your whole family will enjoy.

Summary: 10th Anniversary Edition finally does justice to underrated classic
Comment: I always liked this movie, but it seemed over-edited, like there was too much missing. It turns out there was, and with this 10th Anniversary DVD release, Disney finally fixed those problems with storyline and emotional impact, notably with the inclusion of the duet "If I Never Knew You." I hadn't seen this movie since the VHS release, which didn't look good: the bright colors bled into each other on tape. Apparently, the earlier DVD release wasn't that great, either. But THIS release shows just how gorgeous this film really is: the colors are simply amazing, and the widescreen shows how striking the background art is (the design for the forest scenes reminds me of "Sleeping Beauty," with a lot of vertical/horizontal contrast used.)
Too much was made of the historical liberties taken with this film at the time of its release during the politically correct Nineties. It's not a documentary, it's a Disney movie: get over it and enjoy the story.
There is the usual light comedy provided by animal friends and minor characters. The villain is unlikable, but not really demonic or anything, which fits in with this film being more about people's fears and assumptions, and what the British were hoping to find in America versus what was really there. It is true that the characterization in this film isn't quite as deep as in some of the better known Disney classics, but that doesn't detract from the overall quality. I actually find "Pocahontas" to be one of the most poignant Disney movies because it is not a fairy tale, and everything is not perfect in the end.
The music of "Pocahontas" has never gotten much attention, except for the somewhat preachy "Colors of the Wind," but it's always been one of my favorite Disney soundtracks. Native American music provides a strong undercurrent. I especially love "Just around the Riverbend" and "If I Never Knew You," which was always present in the film during the credits.
I have to mention the moment when Pocahontas and John Smith first meet face to face in the mist in front of the waterfall. It's exquisite and unforgettable.
No one can make wonderfully animated musical movies with heart like Disney, and I really hope that they return to making films like this someday, instead of just those Pixar movies. They're fun, but they're not beautiful like this movie is.

Summary: Pocahontas Review
Comment: My daughter is only four but she liked this. We did have to explain to her about the violent parts, but once she heard that, she was okay with the entire movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good item with a compelling story.
Comment: It offers an interesting look at the life of Native Americans before America was conquered. I liked the approach that Disney too in delivering the story since it attracts the young crowd.
Customer Rating:
Summary: My Daughter Loves It.
Comment: We had a video of Pocahontas, but needed/wanted a DVD. Since we got it in the mail she won't stop playing it. She's two yrs old and tries her best to sing along with all of the songs. Thank you for a great product.
