Stunning!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2014)

Pocahontas may not have been able to reach the heights of its predecessor, The Lion King, but in my opinion it's still a masterpiece, especially the animation. In fact it is considered to be Disney's most visually stunning movie. As far as the movie itself is concerned, I would give it two thumbs up. The characters, the music and of course the tearful ending where Pocahontas and John Smith bid farewell to each other are all beautifully done.
The character of Pocahontas is itself a highlight in the movie. Unlike the princesses before her who just wait for a man to come for them, Pocahontas takes matters into her own hands when necessary. A prominent example would be when she placed her own head on John Smith's head as her father is about to kill him. Other than being brave she is also intelligent, playful, and respects everyone and everything around her. And yes, she is not afraid to speak her mind! I love everything about her and really hope that she gets more attention than she deserves.
Finally,the movie might be historically inaccurate, but if you try to view at as a beautifully animated love story instead, it might not seem so bad.
Overall Pocahontas is a lovely movie and deserves much more credit than it actually gets.
