Product Description Walt Disneys Meisterwerk Pocahontas entführt in eine faszinierende Welt voller überwältigender Farbenpracht, Humor und Oscar-preisgekrönter Musik!Die Ankunft eines fremden Schiffes, angeführt von dem englischen Kapitän John Smith, versetzt die Indianer vom Stamme der Powhatan in Aufregung. Dagegen kennt die Neugier der wißbegierigen Häuptlingstochter Pocahontas keine Grenzen.Dies ist der Anfang einer unvergleichlichen Legende voller Abenteuer und Spaß: von aberwitzigen Verfolgungsjagden mit dem Waschbären Meeko, dem frechen Kolibri Flit und dem verwöhnten Schoßhündchen Percy bis zu Pocohontas' mutiger Entscheidung, die die Geschichte zweier Völker bestimmen wird. Mit Hilfe ihrer weisen Beraterin, Großmutter Weide, lernt Pocohontas auf ihre innere Stimme zu hören und dem "Farbenspiel des Winds" zu folgen...Ein Filmerlebnis für die ganze Familie - von Disney meisterhaft erzählt-, das jeden immer wieder neu begeistert. From .co.uk The lowest point in Disney's opportunistic revisionism of source stories for its animated features in the 1990s, Pocahontas presents the title character (voiced by Irene Bedard) as a voluptuous Indian babe who falls for the British plunderer Captain John Smith (Mel Gibson). Half-baked if trendy paganism abounds in the film's depiction of nature as possessing consciousness (though talking trees certainly aren't new to cartoons). But the dubious legitimacy of the film's premise and characterisations calls everything into question. The songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz--while Oscar-winning--fall short of the standard Menken achieved in superior Disney predecessors including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. --Tom Keogh

One of the Classic Disney's
This is a great movie on every level. It appeals to kids, it appeals to adults and it also appeals to anyone who loves musicals with great songs.But first: who Amazon's 'in-house' reviewer Tom Keogh is...I have no idea (his review is the one that you read just under the product details). His sarcastic, nasty & sour review of this movie is a disgrace. My advice is to you (the reader) is:...don't pay any heed to his twisted & bitter little review of this good Movie. Use you're own judgment...and see how far off the mark he is.Back to the film: the story is universal - boy meets girl from the wrong tribe (shades of West Side Story) to the disapproval of their elders & peers etc. But they continue seeing each other and this eventually leads to confrontation. There are also serious anti-war messages woven through the fabric of this film, and they are put across through the songs and the action.But apart from the flawless animation, it's the music that really 'grabs' you from the get go: from the opening drums in the first main song 'Hega Hega ya-hi-ye Hega' - to the splendid 'Just around the river bend' - to the absolute show-stopping ensemble piece 'Mine, Mine, Mine' sung by Governor Radcliffe and the cast, - and also the evocative 'Colours of the Wind'.Why Disney Corp. haven't turned this movie into a full blown stage musical like they did with the Lion King...is beyond me. It's a no-brainer. Great story - great songs - great setting, what more do you want?I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. If you are an adult, don't let the fact that it's a animated movie put you off, it's a great film.Sit back and enjoy!All the best!

Pocahontas (Special Edition) [DVD] [1995 ]This is one of my personal favourite Disney animated movies therefore I am biased in saying Pocahontas is a very excellent film with great songs, humour, and action suitable for the whole family. I purchased it for myself but my children love it too.
