Who would I recommend this to?
No one, really. Unless you're doing research for something...
What is this about?
Pocahontas travels to England to negotiate peace for her people.
When would be a good time to watch this?
During research for poor representation in film.
Where does it take place?
England.
Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I've been putting it off for 20+ years.
How did I like this?
I think I liked this as much as I did because I had such low expectations. Don't get me wrong, it's not a good movie, but I found that I enjoyed it. Mostly because I liked how Pocahontas wasn't going to let the white man make a fool of her and kill her people.
The songs are bad with the exception of the first one and the one during the credits. This could have done without the musical element. We all know it was never going to compare with the original.
I can't speak to the historical accuracy or how Disney was trying to make up for the first movie, but we all know the answer to that.
Have you seen Pocahontas 2? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
I've been putting this one off too. Maybe I'll give it a try.
