Il giovane capitano John Smith guida la spedizione che porterà l'avido governatore Ratcliffe sulle coste della Virginia in cerca di oro. Allo sbarco, lo nota una graziosa principessa pellerossa, Pocahontas, figlia del capo Powhatan che la vorrebbe sposata col valoroso guerriero Kocoum. La giovane, che ha come amici il procione Meeko e il colibrì Flit, è colpita da un sogno premonitore con una freccia che gira in ogni direzione, che ella confida al suo spirito guida arboreo, Nonna Salice, la quale la incoraggia a seguire gli impulsi del suo cuore. In breve i due giovani sono attratti l'uno dall'altra, e la bussola che John le dona, con la sua mobile freccia, appare alla giovane la conferma del sogno. Mentre Ratcliffe fa scavare dappertutto alla ricerca dell'inesistente oro ed erigere un fortino, i guerrieri locali si armano per scacciare gli invasori. Pocahontas vorrebbe non vedere più John, ma lui ottiene un incontro notturno. Ma l'amica della principessa, Nakoma, avvisa il geloso Kocoum, che assale Smith. Ma l'indiano viene ucciso dal mozzo Thomas, che il governatore, insospettito per le sue assenze, ha messo sulle tracce di John che, catturato dagli indigeni, sta per essere giustiziato. Ma Pocahontas si oppone all'esecuzione ed invita a deporre le armi. Tutti obbediscono: mentre il perfido Ratcliffe decide di approfittarne e spara per uccidere Powhatan, Smith si frappone e riceve il colpo a lui destinato. Poi è costretto a rimpatriare e lasciare così la principessa.

Format:DVD
Ever since I first saw Pocahontas when it first came out, I knew that Disney were onto a winner. Yes,I admit it's not historically accurate but it's only a Disney film designed for a bit of fun! The songs however,are the making of this film with highlights including the beautiful 'Colours of the Wind' and the very catchy 'Just around the River Bend'. If you have young children (or you just fancy a enjoyable watch yourself!), this film is a must buy. A lot of animated films may date with time but Pocahontas certainly won't! Top stuff.

I was always iffy about buying this one; as a child I loved it - until learning the truth about the story with Pocahontas being a very young girl, and it just kind of creeped me out to go back and watch. But I found this for an incredible price so added it to my collection -
The picture quality is great - this film has always had use of dynamic angles and colours, which lends itself to a very polished and beautiful look, almost working as a 90 minute screensaver at times.
The story - is pretty standard "man is evil against what it does not understand" but is passable with only a few dud moments (such as occasions painting the villains to be evil when if you do put thought into the circumstances, the villains are actually just defending themselves against the heroes who attack first)
The voice acting - is pretty hit and miss, with Pocahontas feeling like a real character, as with the villain and a few other characters, however Mel Gibson and Billy Connolly's very distinct voices can prove distracting and unimmersive at times.
The sound - incredibly crisp and clear, not much else can say really
Extras - this is where it surpasses the other Disney release this year Tarzan, as there is a pretty reasonable bulk of extras here ranging from music videos, items from the dvd, and a couple of new original documentaries.
Overall this is a fine addition to your collection - if you're a Pocahontas fan, you'll love the treatment it has received, and if you just collect Disney's you could do far worse than this.

Format:DVD
I really enjoyed this production from Walt Disney. It is unique for Walt Disney in that the animation is based on a real person and story. The love that Pocahontas and John Smith have for each other is enough to bridge their different cultures.
The animation and the musical composition are of a very high calibre, with the 'Colours of the Wind' song being especially stirring. I also like 'If I never knew you' which, is a restored song in this Special Edition dvd. Furthermore, the voice acting is commendable throughout. The lovely Irene Bedard provides the voice talent for Pocahontas and big name actor Mel Gibson voices John Smith.
The movie is also especially funny in places with the animal characters of Meeko, Flit & Percy providing much of the humour. Wiggins is an interesting side character also worthy of note.
The movie ending is particularly powerful with Pocahontas casting herself over the prostrate John Smith to prevent her father from felling the love of her life. This dvd is crammed with special features that enhance your enjoyment of the main movie: an audio commentary, a veritable library of still images and fascinating featurettes amongst other things.
To conclude, a refreshing, uplifting animation that is enjoyable for all age ranges and a visual rendition that merits maximum marks.
