Stunningly beautiful!

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 2019)

This movie is stunningly romantic, which is very rare for an animated movie. I can watch that waterfall scene where John Smith first meets Pocahontas over and over again, it's so beautiful. While much of this film is wonderful visually, due to the adult content and a few violent scenes, it may be better suited for older kids and adults. Although some may not like this film because it isn't like other Disney movies that were more successful financially, or that it's historically inaccurate, to me it's just a simple love story. I think the filmmakers strived to bring about a sensitive story involving a Native American and a man from another world who fall in love with each other, in spite of their differing backgrounds. This was Disney's first interracial love story, which made over $300 million and won two Oscars, so it's hardly a failure. No, it's not historically accurate, but it doesn't need to be. If you like romantic movies, simply enjoy the beautiful animation, lovely tunes, and hopeful ending.
