The inaccuracy is a con, the astounding animation, music, and voices are all pros to see this movie

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2002)

Every other reviewer practically has talked about the historical inaccuracies in the film, so I'm going to spare the readers from that.
It's not a film intended to be for a research history project, it's meant to be a tale of the spirit of who she was. I watched this for the first time in years today, and I analyzed the animation and music for the first time in ages, and realized how superior those things are in this film. When you compare it to other animated films, this one, along with Sleeping Beauty, looks real.
I loved Menken's songs always, but despised most of his scores, particularly Aladdin. This is filled with beautiful drums and trumpets and strings. "Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?" is reminiscent when I think, can you see the images of the movie with just the score, and yes you can. This, as well as Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are his crowning achievements as a score composer.
Sure, it's inaccurate, but so is Anastasia. If you liked that one, you'll like this one. Even if you're like me and have mixed feelings about it, you should give Pocahontas a chance.
