It feels like this took forever…but it actually only took four days. Apparently my internal clock needs to be wound again.

Let me just take a moment to say: I refuse to acknowledge the existence of Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World. I solemnly refuse. The only part of this film I will not outright deny the existence of is the cream colored dress Pocahontas wears at some point. That dress is the only tolerable part of that movie—which doesn’t exist.

At least Disney acknowledges that she wore this dress, her deluxe one is based on it. I know I'm in the minority but I actually like new world, to me John Smith is just your average blonde as far as the Princes are concerned and therefore I count Rolfe as the Prince because he seems more likeable to me than Smith. I really think she should wear this dress as her princess dress,she'd get more attention. The only thing I hate about this is the powder which although needed at the time just looks weird.

I agree that the sequel is not only non-existant, but it's also non-canonical!

Even the Walt Disney Company feels the same way about that and most of the other direct-to-video cheapquels.

I agree. The only thing I watch is the part where Pocahontas gets ready, I watch the Hunt ball scene and then I stop right after the scene by the lake every time I "watch" the movie


On the side note, I'd like to wear such a dress at some point. It's beautiful, no?

I haven't seen this non-existant 2nd Pocahontas movie, but this is sooooo pretty. I love the texture work.

Admittedly, I could have lived without her hairstyle as well...I figured they could have come up with something a *little* better than just stacking it up like that? I've seen better hairstyles for that time period than that. Even if it was just curled at the back or something....idk. Just me. Her dress was pretty though, I'm not gonna lie.

IMO, John Rolfe was the only acceptable part. Even if he wasn't portrayed as the Tobacco Farmer he truly was (rated G for kids, after all. no advertising drugs!!) At least they made up for the factual errors regarding Pocahontas' love life.

I think the song she sings in the beginning also was redeemable.

As nice as that song is I’m of the opinion that it’s evil. It says “See, this movie will be fine. Just sit back and relax.” When the movie starts to suck you still hold out a little hope: that one song was pretty good, this has to be just a temporary lapse in quality. Then, before you know it, there’s only five minutes left and you’re hoping that those last minutes will be really awesome…and no, no they’re not.

I agree. But I guess they wanted to please the historians who weren't happy with their interpitations.

The ones that go "Nooo. She married some other guy named John Rolf and died in England blahblahblah."

Which is just all the more amusing (or sad, depending on your personal viewpoint) since the sequel wasn’t all that accurate.
Disney just needs to learn that it’s impossible to please everybody, and making a lackluster, historically inaccurate sequel isn’t going to please anyone.

What second movie? Psshh...that.. that never... never.. what?

I just about threw a the remote control when I watched the sequel. Or when I not-watched it. Cause it never happened. o.0

Unlike that non-existent thing, I like this a lot, especially the jewel :)
