	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Pocahontas (1995)
		Yes, the ending to Pocahontas is not the traditional end of a Disney film, but not only is the end where it is most historically inaccurate, but it wouldn't have been plausible even in theory.
		Sadly, some of the film's potential fails to materialize or is undermined by the aforementioned contrivance of an ending.
		Pocahontas is a good film, a fine piece of work disappointing only in the context of Disney's other work.

	Pocahontas (1995): Reviews
		Pocahontas tells the story of a free-spirited girl who wonders what adventures await "Just Around The Riverbend." Pocahontas relies on the guidance of her loving and wise Grandmother Willow when English settlers arrive on the shores of their village.
		Overall, Pocahontas is a triumph as a visual experience (though the music is unusually bland), but a disappointment as a film.
		Pocahontas is a fascinating departure from the studio's formula--a delicate work of art that casts a very fragile spell.

	Mel Gibson: Pocahontas - Movie
		Aside from the love story between Pocahontas and John Smith, the main theme of the movie is the strong message of tolerance, harmony and wisdom.
		"Pocahontas" brings honor to the Native American society, perfectly reflecting the beauty of their world, that was so different than the "civilized" one.
		In the most memorable sequence, Pocahontas is singing: "I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name/ And we are all connected to each other in a circle, in a hoop that never ends".

	Pocahontas (1995 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film is based loosely on the encounter between the colonists of Jamestown, Virginia and the native Powhatan tribe, and in particular presents a highly emotionally charged and dramatic account of the meeting between Pocahontas and John Smith.
		Pocahontas, accompanied by her animal friends, Meeko, a racoon, and Flit, a hummingbird, leaps off the cliff, into the river where she overturns the canoe, and has a brief splashing fight with Nakoma before they turn the boat over, and row back to the village.
		Executives perceived the character to lighten the tone of the film excessively, and the turkey was replaced with the characters Meeko the raccoon and Flit the hummingbird.

	The Pocahontas Myth - Powhatan Renape Nation - the real story, not Disney's Distortion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Most scholars think the "Pocahontas incident" would have been highly unlikely, especially since it was part of a longer account used as justification to wage war on Powhatan's Nation.
		In 1612, at the age of 17, Pocahontas was treacherously taken prisoner by the English while she was on a social visit, and was held hostage at Jamestown for over a year.
		During Pocahontas' generation, Powhatan's people were decimated and dispersed and their lands were taken over.

	[No title]
		That is to say, the animated Pocahontas is necessarily located within the entire colonial tradition of noble savagism: the natural virtues, cultural critique, and self-sacrifice she embodies are those found in Montaigne and Rousseau and Cooper and Kirkpatrick Sale.
		Disney's Pocahontas is not a cultural interpreter but first and foremost a "child of nature"--an unfortunate impoverishment that produces a truly awkward moment in the film.
		Still, in the context of the film, appearing as the English prepare to attack the Powhatan people, it is extremely effective, serving to underscore the brutishness of the English colonists rather than that of the Indians.

	Pocahontas (1995)
		Pocahontas is an enjoyable animated Disney feature based on the folklore surrounding a young American heroine.
		According to folklore, in 1608, Pocahontas, a young daughter of a Native American Chief, saved the life of a British colonist, Capt. John Smith, by holding his head in her arms as he was about to be executed by her father's warriors.
		There is a record that she converted to Christianity in Jamestown, and later married one of the colonists, John Rolfe, with the blessings of both the governor and her father.

	Whoosh! Film Reviews: Pocahontas (Disney, 1995)
		After the film was released in 1995, Chief Roy Crazy Horse of the Powhatan Nation condemned the film because it "distorts history beyond recognition." He pointed out the fact that our only information about his legendary rescue by Powhatan's daughter comes from Smith himself, a man described by other colonists as an abrasive, self-promoting mercenary.
		Pocahontas, named Matoaka by her own people, was one of Powhatan's many children by one of his many wives.
		Furthermore, Disney's "Pocahontas" recycles the classic romantic scenario of the Indian maiden leaving her family and culture behind to be swept into the arms of a handsome white stranger.

	Pocahontas: Cineaste
		What we do know of Pocahontas is that she met John Smith in 1608, was probably responsible for some trading between the settlers and her people, was kidnapped and raped by the English but later married a tobacco planter named John Rolfe, had a son in 1615 and sailed to England in 1616.
		I'm sure the irony is unintentional in Pocahontas as she paddles her canoe along, having just refused to marry the stereotypically stoic and noble Kocoum, singing about the change that is waiting "just around the river bend." The change that waits is another man and another culture in the form of John Smith.
		Glen Keane, the film's supervising animator, researched the paintings of the real Pocahontas but wasn't very impressed, so he made a few "adjustments." Besides her beautiful "more Asian" eyes, he gave her a body with a wasp waist, sexy hips and legs, and breasts that are truly impressive.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: The New World
		Malick's camera is so connected to his environment it's as if the nature of the film is responsible for directing the action; this is most instructive in the major battle scene between the Powhatan tribe and the Jamestown settlers when the flight of a lone bird seemingly launches both camps into battle.
		Along with every other component—from the cinematography and score to the many fine performances—the film's attention to historical detail is just one composite of a Zen-like mise-en-scène bursting at the seams with emotion and inquisitions about idealism and a world being remade in the image of another.
		Banished from her tribe for cavorting with John Smith, Pocahontas goes to live in the Jamestown colony, where she marries the widowed John Rolfe (Christian Bale) and bears him a son.

	Filmtracks: Pocahontas (Alan Menken)
		Pocahontas: (Alan Menken) By the mid-1990's, the Disney animated film franchise was once again a powerhouse in Hollywood, and some critics would argue that the studio's animation was at its historic peak during that era.
		In 1995, Pocahontas received the same critical success as Menken's previous projects, winning Academy Awards for both the score and the main song, a feat that had become somewhat normal for the franchise.
		The only disappointing aspect of Pocahontas (then and now) is that the film moves at an extremely fast pace, and thus the songs are often not the long ballads that they could have been.

	Pocahontas (1995)
		Along the edgewaters of Virginia, Pocahontas, the free-spirited daughter of Chief Powhatan, watches as a mysterious shipload of English settlers arrives, led by the greedy Governor Ratcliffe and the courageous Captain John Smith.
		Pocahontas lacks the depth of the experience provided by Hunchback, but it remains more consistently serious and "heavy." Yes, it includes the traditional sidekicks who exist for comic relief, but they're less of an intrusion than the gargoyles.
		Part of me dislikes the fact that Pocahontas and Smith end up separated at the conclusion of the story, because for all of the film's preaching about racial harmony, it seems bothersome that the only romantic couple in Disney history who don't walk off into the sunset together would also be Disney's only interracial couple.

	The Pocahontas Paradox: A Cautionary Tale for Educators
		For many teachers, identifying instructional materials and media films that are culturally responsive to different children and the cultures that they represent is their greatest challenge, in large part because contemporary film and print media continue to promulgate racist, sexist representations of non-majority social groups, with devastating effects on young non-mainstream learners.
		Many Hollywood films have roles for Indian women who die to provide the tragic but "inevitable" ending for a racist audience that assumes that the demise of Native American cultures is something for which Euro-Americans have had no responsibility.
		Pocahontas, of course, gracefully walked in the moccasins of the "noble savage., partly because she innocently embodied the prescribed image, and partly because she consciously invoked it.
