of 5 Mickey Mouse ears: 3 ears. 1 for Pocahontas, 1 for Meeko/Flit/Nakoma, and
1 for the music.
Hmmm.
After a string of really good movies, this one takes a step back. It’s not bad,
but it not good; just somewhere in the middle. Pocahontas is a great heroine.
She sings and makes good choices. John Smith is ok but a little creepy. Meeko and
Flit are good pals for Pocahontas, and Nakoma is a good friend. Governor
Ratcliffe is kind of boring and racist. Too many songs, but there are 2 really
good ones in “Colors of the Wind” and “Just Around the Riverbend”.
I
had a friend in high school that complained when he was dragged to this movie
by his younger girlfriend. I had no problem being dragged to this movie by a
girl in high school ... who am I kidding, I saw it by myself. Pocahontas was
hot! She carried this movie by herself and may be able to win a game in the
bracket. Take that Mike Hussey! (He was my friend in high school.)
