The most underrated Disney classic

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2018)

With stunning, and i mean STUNNING animation, one of the top 3 Disney soundtracks of all time and a touching story (despite its flaws on characterization), Pocahontas is a mesmerizing movie that should make you think about what is really valuable in life and how much better human beings we could be. Especially fitting in today's context, with the rise of xenophoby and intolerance in our society.
I'll just talk a bit more about some of the songs, because they completely deserve every praise they can get
"Just Around the Riverbend" - A beautiful song about taking a leap of faith, saying that we need to risk more and not stay in our comfort zone if we want to see what's around the "riverbend".
"Colors of the Wind" - My favorite song in the movie, and probably my all-time favorite Disney song (I'll Make a man out of you from Mulan is a contender though), this masterpiece is about how we should try and see what's really valuable to us, that wealth isn't everything and we need to learn how to respect nature, other people and our surroundings, and how many things we may take for granted in our daily life, without paying attention to them.
"Savages" - Probably my favorite scene in the movie, a song that shows that everyone in a war is in the wrong, that by dehumanizing others we're only dehumanizing ourselves and on the other side of every war all we have are flawed humans, just like us.
This just isn't a 10/10 because the villain is a bit unimpressive, but this movie deserves a lot more love than it gets. Definitely a must watch.
We're all savages :)
