Pocahontas Two-Movie Special Edition (Pocahontas / Pocahontas II: Journey To A New World)

Pocahontas: Here is another underrated and also unappreciated classic from Disney, which became another favorite of mine. The film was based on the known facts of the historical story of the Indian princess Pocahontas and the folklore and legend that surround her. In particular, it presents a highly emotionally charged and dramatic account of the meeting between her and John Smith.This film is also the first Disney film to be based on a real historic character; although there are no suggestions in any of the historical records that Smith and Pocahontas were ever lovers, this romantic version of the story appears only in fictionalized versions of their relationship. But I do love Disney's take on them, and they had become one of my favorite Disney couples.Pocahontas 2 Journey to a New World: first off this film is not too bad. A little about the film. The film starts off in England where John Smith is charting his next adventure when his house is bombarded with soldiers. John fights them off and jumps from roof to roof where he looses balance and is hanging on for his life. Ratcliff helps Smith fall by stepping on his fingers and we see John fall and "die". Ratcliff is next seen talking to the king telling him John Smith died and that his word was true that it was best to go to Virginia and destroy the Indians. The king tells Ratcliff that he will hold off on sending his armada until John Rolfe arrives with Chief Powhatan. Back in Virginia Pocahontas tries to keep her spirits up by being around her friends Nakooma, Meeko, Flit and now Percy. Pocahontas hears a ship arrive with the blast of its canon and rushes off to the settlement to see if John Smith is there. During her visit to the settlement a horse breaks free and almost tramples a man who Pocahontas saves and he mistakes it as her attacking him. He tries to hit her when the Indian's watching over her pull back their arrows and ready for war. Pocahontas demands the halt of her people from doing harm and John Rolfe does the same for the English. Pocahontas is not happy with him and for the first time we see a change in her behavior/attitude. Later in the evening John Rolfe makes his way to the Powhatan Village and offers a horse to the great(Pocahontas)as a gift of people between the people. Little does he know Pocahontas is not chief but soon finds out, he explains that the king wants to meet with the chief to build on a bond of peace and trust. Powhatan refuses and Pocahontas goes in his place.... The trip across the sea has funny moments with Meeko, Flit and Percy. Upon arriving in London it seems everyone breaks out into song for "what a day in London" which is a beautiful song. The songs are nice. the most memorable for most is "Where Do I Go From Here?" Ratcliff returns and has some harsh and bitter interaction with Pocahontas. The term savages is not used as much in this film, now we have moved onto "filthy barbarians" The film hold many cute memorable scenes and the songs are done up just fine. There is a good bit of action and a nice love story. The film should be looked at as not an insult to the original but an extension that gives us more songs and more depth to characters we love. I think this is a film that should be recognized and given a chance.

Good movie girls love it

Excellent condition and Fast Shipping, Thanks!

Came as expected, from a used seller. Package came in a non-bluray case, so that is the only downside but then again you're buying a used product so you can't complain too much. Ended up working perfectly, needed to upgrade from my VHS's that I've had as a child and no longer have currently.You all know the story, basically a teenage Pocahontas meets John Smith and they realize their worlds aren't so different despite their backgrounds. A classic Disney movie of the renaissance, Pocahontas didn't "boom" quite as well as the other movies, but it is always a staple in my re-watching of Disney movies. I was happy to find that this version comes with the deleted song "If I Never Knew You," unfortunately Disney did not treat the scene the same as the "Human Again" sequence from Beauty and the Beast Diamond Edition, and rather made it a deleted scene. However, it's great to finally have the scene in its full entirety, with commentary from the animators on why it was removed.I don't care much for the sequel, and haven't seen it in years. The main purpose of this purchase was a blu-ray copy of Pocahontas, because I was slowly recollecting Disney movies to add to my collection. Since I no longer own a VCR, or have my VHS's from my childhood, these movies are the only way I truly want to watch them. I could watch them online, but instead I desire to own them since I watch them so much.Highly recommended to anyone who is a collector, or a Disney fan. Children will enjoy it, even if it's not historically accurate. It can be "historically" a part of any memory of what the Disney Renaissance was like.

Just what my son asked for. He loves all the older movies so this dvd was great!

You can safely say that Pocahontas was the last big Disney Animated movie - one that started in the mid 80s with Oliver and Company, then The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. While there were some fun movies released after Pocahontas (Hercules, Emporor's New Groove, Princess and the Frog), none really matched the decade from the mid 80s to the mid 90s.Aside from the fact of how historically inacurate the movie is, the quality is very similar to other Disney movies. Memorable songs, cute sidekicks, strong main characters.Sadly, the 90s also gave us a ton of REALLY BAD direct-to-video sequels, and Pocahontas 2 was one of the worst of the worst. We see Pocahontas going to England, dressing up in English period costumes, and chasing after a guy who is not John Smith. When John Smith does show up, he acts like a super-hero (seriously, watch Spiderman, then watch Pocahontas 2). Horrible horrible movie!Visual wise - Pocahontas really pops on Blu-Ray. The shading and color pallet is amazing! A real visual feast.Understandably, Pocahontas 2 does not hold up that well. The scenes where they used CG look awful - probably because they were never meant to be seen on anything higher-resolution than VHS. All sorts of banding issues, texture looks awful. The rest of the movie looks pretty good, sharp and great colors - just not much in the way of fine details because, once again, this was a straight-to-VHS animated release,Audio seems to be similar. The first movie sounds fantastic, strong use of surround and low levels, especially during the storm and battle scenes. The second movie - eh. I guess there is nothing wrong with the soundtrack, but it certainly doesn't push your system in any stretch of the imagination.

Got this fir a friend's sister age loved it

Great product and fast shipping! Thank you! =)

This dvd was very entertaining

Great quality.

Bonjour à toute l'équipe Amazon France j'ai bien reçu le double DVD de Pocahontas, dommage qu'il est en Anglais, les deux versions, ce sont deux très bons films et je les recommande vivement à toute votre clientèle et Excellente Continuation à Amazon France !!!!!

Estoy bastante decepcionada porque solo el primer deuvedé está en español. La segunda parte solo se puede ver en inglés o portugués, y ni siquiera hay subtítulos en español. En la descripción en esta página se dice que el idioma y los subtítulos están disponibles en español.

Beide Filme zusammen sind einfach großartig. Es ist beeindruckend zu sehen wie diese junge Frau ihren eigenen Weg sucht und schließlich beschreitet. Die Wendung im zweiten Teil ist zwar überraschend, erscheint mir jedoch schlüßig und realistisch.Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dieser Zusammenfassung in einer Box und kann sie nur weiterempfehlen. Wer jedoch Extras erwartet wird wird in Pocahontas II leider enttäuscht. Aber das ist nur ein kleines Manko. Im Großen und ganzen bin ich sehr zufrieden!Viel Spaß Pocahontas, auf einer Suche nach sich selbst.
