Customer Rating:
Summary: The original one was way better
Comment: It's is fine movie but the production quality is so bad, I don't like the story. The original was way better. Do not buy this movie
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not Bad. Not great either.
Comment: I think it goes without saying that you shouldn't expect historical accuracy out of Disney. This is a company built on talking mice and mermaids, so I didn't wasn't looking for a history lesson. That aside, this movie wasn't as horrible as most of the direct-to-video sequels. The songs weren't memorable, but they didn't grate on my nerves. And, while I'm no expert, I felt that the animation wasn't bad either. It wasn't on par with the first movie. But it wouldn't have been out of place on a Saturday morning cartoon.
My 3-year-old seemed to have mixed feelings about this one. She loved that Pocahontas danced in a ballgown, just like the other Disney princesses. But there were long stretches of the movie with no action that seemed to bore her.
Pocahontas herself seemed a little stiff and wooden. There was more chemistry between John Smith and John Rolfe than there was between either "John" and Pocahontas. Because of this, my daugher didn't really understand that Pocahontas didn't end up with John Smith.
Overall, this one is worth renting. But don't buy it.

Summary: USED DVD's (GREAT)
Comment: I am very satisfied by purchasing at Amazon, specially used dvd's and books. They are great products and very reliable. I bought Pocahontas II for my 13 year old daughter, and she couldn't believe it was used. Thank you very much for being there.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Eh.. Not so great.
Comment: Like nearly everyone else, I was not impressed with this movie at all. My nearly 3 year old loves Pocahontas and will sit thru the ENTIRE movie over and over but was bored within 30 minutes of watching this. To be honest, I was over this movie from the beginning. In the first one, Pocahontas spoke normally and in this one she sounds like she is just learning English. That just annoyed me throughout the whole movie. The ending was disappointing as well.

Summary: Better for Kids than Adults
Comment: To rate this movie fairly, I have to include both my opinion and that of my 3-year-old daughter. To me, this film is pretty bad. The original had great animation, great music, and a moving storyline. The sequal has average animation, mostly bad music and a convoluted storyline that tries too hard to balance fact and fiction regarding the true story of Pocahontas. BUT, my 3-year-old daughter, who loves the first Pocahontas as well, likes this one just as much. She likes the fact that Pocahontas goes to England and gets all dressed up in a ball gown, making her look more like the other Disney princesses. My daughter also doesn't seem to mind the lame jokes and the weird storyline that has Pocahontas winding up with someone other than the "prince" from the first movie. So for adults like me, I'd rate it 2 stars. My daughter would probably give it 4, so my official average rating is 3!

Editorial Reviews:

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
